Rod Horlings

Rod started as my buyer agents and has stuck with me throughout the last five years from building to buying and all the decisions that go with it. He was always patient and never pressured me into anything and would give me the facts and info I needed to make a decision. He knows the North end of GR very well. I believe he excels in land and new construction sales. As a sellers agent there were a few times when communication was lacking and I suggested he not make assumptions about certain items, etc. I can see how this would happen when you are working at full speed to sell a home and I wasn't the easiest client. :)At the end of the day we were able to find a nice home for me and successfully sold my current home.

Rod has very good knowledge of land availability and land purchasing transactions. He offered helpful advice on negotiating a successful offer, and referred us to other professionals in the Grand Rapids area to support our land buying.

Rod checks all the boxes and then some. He’s an expert in the GR Market and stands alone when it comes to residential land/development/building expertise. He helped us navigate an incredibly competitive buyers market as we relocated from out of state. Ultimately, we decided to build due to an over-inflated market. Rod spent countless days showing us different neighborhoods and new residential developments. After we chose the land/lot, he quickly coordinated multiple builders meetings while providing critical feedback and advice. I’d highly recommend Rod for all residential real estate needs.

After losing our parents we decided to sell our childhood home - Rod came by and talked to us about a pre-renovation sale vs. possible renovated option. He had market trend available for us and answered all questions. We decided to renovate and he checked with us periodically and offered suggestions help enhance things that buyers would be looking for. After renovations we had a quick sale with several offers. Rod's and his team provided a quick and easy final paperwork process. Great service.

Rod is very knowledgeable on all aspects of real estate and we felt extremely comfortable with putting our house on the market with him. He was able to sell our house quickly and the entire process was very smooth. We will definitely use Rod again for any of our real estate needs.

Rod was the agent available when none others were. He was always there for me. He made the effort to get to know me so that he would know what I was really interested in having as a home. He knew whom to recommend as mortgagee and inspector and contractor and mover and anything else I might need. He knew the area and was able to find a good fit for me in short time. He was never pushy and he was interested in my fiscal success in viewing my purchase as not just a home for the present, but a good investment for the future.

Rod listed our cottage and within a month it was sold. The cottage was out of his normal work area but he still made many trips north to sell it. You could sense his many years of experience during the whole transaction and we could not be more satisfied.

Rod is my real estate agent for life. After struggling for some time to find a suitable home in a limited market, I met Rod and with his help elected to build a new home to meet my needs. Building can be a daunting and overwhelming experience, yet Rod made it easy and remained involved from land acquisition all the way to move in. He visited the home site regularly and caught numerous mistakes made by the builder, ultimately saving me money and aggravation. I have since relied on Rod exclusively for all my real estate transactions. Rod is highly knowledgeable and a tireless, honest professional. He will protect your best interests at all times.

Rod Horlings is a real professional with a vast knowledge of the Real Estate market from raw land and land development to buying and selling homes. I would highly recommend Rod for all of your Real Estate needs.

I've had several opportunities to work with Rod. He acts with extreme professionalism. He is very responsive and has a great deal of industry knowledge. I highly recommend him.
