Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?
I have lived in SW Michigan and the Kalamazoo area since 1965, when I came to attend Western Michigan University. I began my real estate career in October of 2012, after working in the business and production sector for 30 years.
As part of The Ron Ekema Team at RE/MAX Advantage, I work very closely with buyers and sellers to help educate them in every aspect of the buying/selling process. My mission is to serve buyers and and sellers to help them with a smooth transaction during one of the largest events of their lives, and to have a good working relationship with other Realtors in order to make that happen.
Throughout my career, I've consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence and a passion for real estate. I've successfully facilitated numerous property transactions, from first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors, ensuring each client finds as close to their ideal property as possible.
Ratings & Reviews
Very knowledgeable
Jerry was very patient and knowledgeable. The housing market was difficult at the time of my purchase and he had good ideas to help navigate it.
Jerry Slater
I first met Jerry when I relocated to the area for work. I initially was not looking to purchase, but to rent. Jerry was really personable and knowledgeable about the area, which I really appreciated, and that helped me decide to contact him when the decision to purchase came 6 months later. Jerry and his team worked tirelessly and was there every step of the way. I highly recommend!
Jerry is the BEST!
Jerry is knowledgeable, great communicator, and proactive when it comes to getting you to close on a property. He was patient with me during my search and showed me many, many...many properties before I settled on one. This is my second property that Jerry has helped me and my family close on. It's always a pleasure working with Jerry and would highly recommend him!
How home buying should be.
Jerry, his wife Rajean, and the entire Ron Ekema team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made the purchasing process easy, fun, and informative without compromising on professionalism. If your in the market to buy or sell, this is the team you need.
The man the myth the legend
I would work with Jerry 100 times over, he’s on top of it! I can’t think of a single time I gave him more than 4 hours notice and he’s always made it work! I’ve recommended him to any and everyone I know looking for a new place Becuase he’s organized and prepared for anything!
