Specialists in Trust, Attorney-in- Fact , and Probate Real Estate
Professional Real Estate Representation in West Michigan
The deep connection we develop with our clients begins at the intersection of uncertain times, the challenges of family dynamics and the complexity and risk involved with fiduciary managed real estate.
After decades of serving this specal community, we understand that property tied to a trust, estate, or a power of attorney isn’t just a transaction, it is a deeply personal transition which most often involves loss or significant change.
As fiduciary managed property specialists we understand the unique aspects of each role in which our clients serve, the processes involved, and the significant personal risk that they often don’t realize they have.
As formally trained mediators we also help families talk to each other, navigate sensitive decisions, and preserve their relationships while making sure that the value of estate assets are protected and maximized.
Our work combines skilled facilitation, decades of fiduciary real estate expertise, and the kind of steady guidance that has earned the lasting trust and referrals of our clients for more than 35 years.

Enhancing The Value of Real Property
As professionals with decades of residential, commercial and appraisal experience, our tool box is extensive when it comes to determining the current (and future) value of a real property asset.
While the valuation of some properties is straightforward, others hold the possibility to create what we refer to as “intellectual value”.
Knowing how future land use, availability of public utilities, and possible financial incentives can be used to significantly enhance a property’s current value is key to understanding its true monetary potential.
