What Our Clients Have To Say:
John,
I was extremely pleased with your help as our realtor in buying my first (my husband’s second) home. You were knowledgable, efficient and made sure all of our questions were answered. As we had a somewhat limited amount of time to go house hunting, you did a great job working with us by setting up full days of appointments with little advance warning from us. We really appreciated all of your time and effort.
Thanks!
Allison Long MD
During the sale of our old farmhouse and purchase of a new property, John Rice was a skillful professional. His positive attitude was infectious and inspiring. He possesses a knowledge of the local market and industry trends that is encyclopedic.
As a young physician, my schedule is very hectic. I am amazed at how quickly John was able to respond to my phone calls and correspondences at all times. He consistently answered any questions we had within a few hours (most often within minutes). He always made my wife and I feel like we were his only clients as he focused his attention on our sale.
Of course, there are many Realtors who may share some of those aforementioned qualities. However, the thing that sets John Rice apart is his tangible desire to share in our vision and help us realize our family’s dream. My wife and I always had the sense that from the first day we met him, John understood us and really desired to help us achieve those life-long goals.
Needless to say, I now enthusiastically refer him to all of my friends and family.
To any physicians or health-care professionals who are interested in moving their practice to our blossoming medical community in West Michigan, I urge you to contact John Rice and make him your ally too!
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Vander Lugt, MD

John was a pleasure to work with. We were only in town for a long weekend to find a home and he was extremely accommodating of out tight schedule. We finally found our new home on the last day of our visit. John was very helpful through the entire negotiation process and helped us get our dream house and keep it within our budget.

John Rice is hands down one of the best realtors in the Grand Rapids and surrounding areas. We have utilized him as our realtor on two separate occasions, once over 10 years ago, and again over the last several months to buy/sell. He is incredibly knowledgeable and uses his expertise to help guide you in your choices throughout the realty process. He is professional, kind, has impeccable attention to detail, responsive, and clearly loves what he does. Choose John for your realty needs…he is the best of the best!

I can’t thank you enough for helping me over the last 5 years. I began Grand Rapids with you and ended it with you. Seems fitting!... I will continue to send anyone I know to get the great service I received. I certainly am not your only promoter in Grand Rapids!
Best,
