Grand Rapids, MI - Mar 12, 2026

After experiencing the unexpected loss of my sister and taking on the legal responsibilities for her estate, I was referred to Darrell DeWard for help in selling her condo in Kentwood. It was a challenging sale as she had just recently purchased it and hadn't had time to build any equity. I considered letting it go back to the bank due to the slim chance of remaining above water, but instead chose to honor her wishes.

I explained the situation to Darrell and he never hesitated. He took on the risk and assured me that he could sell the property. Throughout the process he and his team remained in constant contact, making sure I knew what to expect at every turn.

Within a couple of weeks there was an offer that was above what I expected. I was very relieved to accept. Even though the appraisal came in lower, the sale still went through, thanks to Darrell negotiating with the buyer and their agent.

I highly recommend Darrell and his team.

We had an outstanding experience working with Darrell Deward Realty. Thanks to their expertise and strategy, we sold our home for significantly more than the market data initially suggested we might get. Their team gave excellent pre-sale repair advice and helped us focus only on improvements that would bring the best return on investment. They even helped arrange contractors to take care of several items, which made getting our home ready for the market so much easier.
When the first buyer tried to negotiate heavily over inspection-related items, they confidently followed our advice to cancel the sale—and shortly after resold the home for a higher price and better terms. They also guided us through some very tricky well and septic issues that developed along the way. Everyone on the team was responsive, supportive, and genuinely wonderful to work with. We would absolutely work with them again and can’t recommend them highly enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Darrell and his team are an exceptional group of real estate professionals — you simply cannot go wrong with them. After screening three different realtors, Darrell stood out immediately as the only one who made me feel like our home sale was more than just another transaction. He genuinely listened to our thoughts on the sale and offered professional, thoughtful feedback every step of the way.

His team was equally impressive — always providing resources when we needed them and answering every question with care and promptness. We listed our home and within three days it was under contract. While I know that's not always typical, I can say this with full confidence: had I gone with one of the other realtors, we would have left tens of thousands of dollars on the table.

Every home sale is unique, but one thing remains constant — Darrell and his team will always put their best professional foot forward and advocate fully for you. Highly recommend.

We would like to thank Darrell DeWard and his team for getting our home sold. Our lakefront home, in the Middleville area - Thornapple Kellogg school district, has been our pride and joy. Darrell made the process seem less, with constant communication, updates and informing us of each step and what to be prepared for in terms of negotiation. Darrell was professional from the jump with a wonderful demeanor and years of experience. Thank you again to Darrell and his team.
