“It's no secret that Katie Stein is the best real estate agent in East Grand Rapids, so when we were ready to leave our Heritage Hill Victorian with the hopes of finding our "forever home" in East, she was the only person we wanted to entrust with the challenge.
Thankfully, she took our call and upon meeting her, we soon realized that she absolutely lives up to the hype that her reputation precedes. A native to EGR, she has her finger on the pulse of the community and real estate market. She knows homes not only by their given address but by the families that once or currently reside in them. She brings wit and humor to an oftentimes stressful process, reducing our anxieties as we navigated a complex and competitive market.
Katie introduced us to a home that at first glance was not the right fit, but showed us that with a few changes it could be everything we had dreamed of. We were able to quickly secure the home for a great price thanks to her tough negotiation skills. Once we were under contract, we listed our Heritage Hill home with her on a Friday, and by Sunday we had an amazing offer that we accepted. The transition between homes was completely seamless thanks to her efforts.
We could not be happier in this new home, it is perfect for our family. Had she not pointed us in this direction we would have never even considered this property as an option. We are grateful for her guidance, expertise and insight, and above all- her friendship. She is the best of the best, and has the track record to prove it!

“Katie is an exceptional Realtor. Her ability to serve anyone from first time home buyers to tenured real estate investors is incredible and her connections in East Grand Rapids and the surrounding area proved to be invaluable.
My wife and I had spent nearly a year house hunting before we made the switch to Katie. During the most challenging housing market that buyers have seen in the recent past, Katie was able to find us an off market deal on the perfect house for us within a few months. She was also a huge help in connecting us with local tradespeople as we put a bit of work into the house. We will never work with another realtor as long as Katie is in the business!”
