I couldn’t have asked for a better experience; John helped me not only find a great home for a great value, but he also helped me understand all the nuances of the Grand Rapids housing market. Without a doubt, go with John!
– HL (5.0 STARS! *****)

My family and I were referred to John by my sister. We met with several agents in the area, but decided that we were most confident that John would be the one who could sell our house. Sure enough, three days after being on the market we
had three offers on the table, all for at or above list price!
We thought our house would have been on the market for a few months, like others in the neighborhood, and were shocked at how quickly it sold. Unfortunately, we were not prepared to be out of our house yet, as we hadn’t even started looking
at future homes.
John was confident that he could have us moved into a new home by our closing date. My husband and I doubted this, but sure enough, John helped us find our new home, and kept the paperwork running smoothly so we WERE able to close on
both houses on the same day! I am not sure what we would have done without his help and guidance through both the selling and buying process.
John is extremely professional, and you can tell that he loves his job and takes it very seriously. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!
– MH (5.0 STARS! *****)

We moved to the Grand Rapids area 11 years ago and John was very patient as we found our first home and made the experience absolutely seamless! When we were ready to sell and buy again we knew to reach out to John. As we remembered and appreciated, John is an absolute professional and was and advocate for our best interests at all times during this wild market. We found great value in our new home and he helped us get top dollar for our sale. Grateful to have him on our side though the whole process. You won’t be disappointed!

—————————————
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!
– AW (5.0 STARS! *****)
—————————————
John guided us through the process of buying a new home. He took us on our first outing and it was immediately clear that he was very knowledgeable about the area and the business. He was courteous and patient and took notes on our preferences throughout. On the second outing it was obvious his time to get know our preferences paid off: he showed us several houses that fit exactly what we were looking for and that we would have been happy to purchase. We ended up getting a house that surpassed our expectations and fit within the budget we had given. We were very impressed with John and would highly recommend his services.
– BB (5.0 STARS! *****)
—————————————
We chose John as our realtor over one of the better known, “name brand” realtors in the Grand Rapids area, and we were absolutely not disappointed. He came to the listing appointment incredibly well prepared, had some great suggestions on better staging the home and followed through on every commitment. Even more important, we had a full price offer the first day on the market and ended up selling the house for about $10k above list price. I know it’s easy to be pleased with and recommend a realtor when you sell above list, but John was thorough, professional, accessible and generally pleasant to be around. I would highly recommend John and his team to anyone with real estate needs.
– DG (5.0 STARS! *****)
—————————————
I regard John Rice as one of the best real estate agents in West Michigan. I’ve had the opportunity to help with mortgage financing for some of his clients. Each time his attention to detail and real estate knowledge sets him apart from other agents. No two real estate transactions are the same; John has the experience to make sure the best solutions are presented and accomplished. West Michigan is currently a fast, competitive real estate market. You need an agent with excellent real estate connections and marketing power. He has these unique skill sets that gives buyers and sellers the advantage they need in this market.
– SF (5.0 STARS! *****)

John is a very professional and thoughtful realtor! He has quickly become our family realtor and we have done several transactions with him. As a industry professional he always brings his “A” game whether it’s helping me with showings, consulting on potential projects, or the phenomenal value he brings as a listing agent. I strongly recommend John Rice and his team.

John is a consummate professional. His knowledge and experience are invaluable in the shopping and purchase process. He is particularly gifted in knowing exactly how to structure an offer, and this paid off for me in spades in this highly competitive sellers market. He is very communicative and quick to respond to any request, now matter how trivial. I can’t recommend John highly enough!
– BEM (5.0 STARS! *****)

We recently used John to purchase a home, and sell ours. John has proven to be nothing but professional, knowledgeable, ethical – and kind. Buying and selling a home can be an extremely stressful process; it was a relief to know we had someone always at the ready with an answer, an encouragement, a clear path forward. We don’t plan on moving for a good long while (sorry John!), but would wholeheartedly recommend John to others.

John is a delightful person to work with ! He was our realtor when we bought the condo 21 years ago and again this past spring when it was time to sell. It was a very smooth and happy process! (And how great that he sold it in one day.). Seriously, John is really the best !
– LS (5.0 STARS! *****)

My husband and I were first time home buyers and new to Grand Rapids, so we really didn’t know much about the housing market. A family friend referred us to John, and we’re so glad we had him as our realtor! He’s super knowledgable about the Grand Rapids area, listened to our likes and dislikes with homes, and helped us negotiate a great deal on our house. We closed a few months ago, and we are so happy with our forever home! Highly recommend John as your realtor! He is truly on your side.
– RK (5.0 STARS! *****)

We can’t say enough good things about John. He is an awesome realtor! We bought our first home with his help and just recently sold it with his help. He is highly knowledgeable about the Grand Rapids area market and his expertise and professionalism has shown through both times we worked with him. Five years ago we were new to Grand Rapids and didn’t know the area that well. John nudged us in the direction of the area we ended up buying in and we not only enjoyed the amenities of that area while living there, but we profited from that decision in our sale. John is a wonderful communicator and a genuine person. His sincerity has been evident in his commitment to making the purchase and sale experience as seamless and informed as possible. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have worked with John and strongly recommend him without reservation!

John Rice is the best. He knows the areas, schools, municipalities, and home construction details. Best of all, he works extremely hard and is totally client-focused. I wish I could give 12 stars but it only goes to 5. Look no further for a realtor around GR!

My husband and I recently moved across the state. John Rice was our realtor and helped us find the perfect home . From start to finish, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about John. -From the beginning, he was incredibly easy to contact. He always responds promptly to phone calls, emails, text messages. You always know you can get hold of him to answer any questions you may have. -John was incredibly flexible when working with us. We have small children and work demanding jobs, and he was always able to schedule showings for us that would fit our crazy schedule. (For example, we drove in from out of town and saw 8 houses in one day on a Sunday). -John is incredibly knowledgeable and has great expertise in his field . He knows his stuff when it comes to finding a “good” house in the right neighborhood that works for you/your family and is also a good investment. His expertise goes far beyond that however, as he was also able to connect us with the best bankers, title company, home inspectors etc (the list goes on). -Even after we closed and moved into our house, John has still been happy to help connect us in the community and help us find any services we need. -No matter what it was, what we needed, or when we needed it, John got it done 100% of the time. We would not hesitate to use him again, and will be referring him to our friends in the future.

We were in the market to sell our home of 40 years, and move to a condo. We met John at an open house, and were very impressed with him. We bought a great condo, and sold our previous home in a matter of days with John’s handling of both the buy and the sale. He has since helped a friend of ours sell his condo home as he was moving to a nursing home. I highly recommend John to anyone looking for a great realtor.
– TH (5.0 STARS! *****)
—————————————
Buying a home is a stressful process, so when I accepted a job on the other side of the state I knew I needed an expert to help make the transition easier on my family. John Rice helped us get the maximum value for our first home, he was available to address all of our concerns along the way, he Interviewed realtors from the greater Detroit area and found The perfect realtor who found us an awesome community to move to, and he did all of this online while I was 160 miles away. Many people try their hand in real estate and don’t really possess any skill. John Rice’s years of experience equate into a finely tempered home selling guru. His knowledge of the market and online presence are outstanding. I could not have had a better person to put in my corner helping my family make a very difficult transition. He is someone you can trust. That’s my honest personal opinion that I am glad to share.

John was a fantastic realtor. He was very knowledgeable about the areas of town we were looking at buying (which was quite extensive) and he was very attentive to make sure the features we were looking for were being met. His expertise on the housing market were great to help guide us into making smart decisions on which house to buy and more importantly which houses to stay away from. He was very accessible and was always on top of everything. He made us feel like we were his only clients and made the home buying process very easy! I would definitely go back to him when we are ready to upgrade!
– NBM (5.0 STARS! *****)
—————————————
We could not have asked for a better experience with a realtor! The most difficult part of our entire home buying experience was agreeing on which house my husband and I wanted to live in. John was encouraging, knowledgeable, personable, and so easy to work with! As first time home owners we had LOTS of questions and he answered every single one with patience and a smile. John gave excellent advice and recommendations throughout our entire process from the big things, like which bank to use, to the little things, like remember to keep an open mind. John was genuinely in it to help us find the perfect home for us, rather than to add another client to his list. We will continue to use John as our realtor in the future, as well as recommend him to everyone we know!

It was a wonderful experience working with John. His professionalism, honesty, experience, and knowledge of the Grand Rapids market, helped us in multiple ways.
