Janis and her team were great to work with. They are very knowledgable. Whether you are buying a piece of land or an investment property, they know the market very well!

Thanks to Shana with Lakes and Country as of today I am a first time home buyer! Shana was absolutely wonderful to work alongside during the entire process of searching for and purchasing a home. She was incredibly flexible with my schedule and was willing to view homes with me during the evening hours as well as weekends. Throughout the process Shana was in regular communication with me to keep me updated on the progress of our offer as well as the many hurdles during closing. She also had great recommendations when it came to lenders, inspectors, and anyone else involved in the purchase. I cannot say enough good things about Shana and will continue to work with her on future sales, and will highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the greater Kalamazoo area.

Janis was amazing and the entire process of selling our home was great.
She answered all the questions we had and we enjoyed our experience. We would definitely use Lakes and Country again.
They also give back to area organizations and support the communities they work in.

It’s been almost a year already since Mandy Morgan helped me find my perfect-for-me home in Three Rivers, and I still cannot say enough good about her.

Her patience and understanding of what would work best for me, now and in the future, was exceptional. Being considered a ‘senior’, I needed a place that was easy to get around and all on one level, for myself and friends and family with mobility issue, and have since added an extra-wide ramp.

Knowing how fast homes are moving right now, she would waste no time setting up viewings for me, and we finally found The One!

Since the closing, we keep in touch and my approval of her just keeps climbing. She truly cares for her clients and our needs. I recommend her whenever anybody mentions the need for a realtor.

Lakes and Country - Amanda Morgan is a huge asset to your company.

From start to finish, this group is professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Everyone on the Lakes & Country team is top-notch, taking thier time to understand a client's needs and preferences. They do not pressure people into making any decisions- just valuable advice and insights that helps clients make informed decisions throughout the process.

With a short amount of time to find a home in a very competitive housing market, Trish Downard worked tirelessly to help us find our new home. From showing us pre-listed properties to introducing us to builders, she always found creative solutions to meet our needs.

I bought my home through Diane Vandenberg at Lakes and Country. I think we both learned from the experience and I am happy with my home 5 years later.

We called to inquire about selling our home. We really weren't even serious but with the housing market improving thought we would see where we were. They sent someone right out to give us an estimated selling price. The price they gave was EXACTLY THE SAME PRICE THAT ZILLOW HAD BTW, which seemed too good to be true. We decided to proceed. They next sent Michelle out to get us to sign the sellers agreement. Michelle then informed us that the selling price was too high and we would need to reduce it by $40,000 dollars. She said at that price (the price that we were told initially which was the same value Zillow estimated) it'll take too long to sell, if we lowered it $40k though maybe someone would bid above asking price. What kind of strategy is that!?!? The idea behind selling is to maximize equity, not to lower the price so much that the house sells itself, I can do that on my own without a realtor! This was obviously unacceptable but in Michelle's mind her ease of weaseling a commission out of a hard working family outweighed the needs of a hardworking family to have a place to live. She lied repeatedly and when she was called out on her lies blamed someone else for using her mouth to lie... it was ridiculous, like talking to a child who refuses to believe they've been caught in a lie. We refused to lower our asking price and a couple days later got a text from her that we were unrealistic for listing the house at the price we were initially told (which is again the only reason we even considered selling in the first place). Then she sent a picture of a house that was half the size of ours and with no modern updates in the same area that was listed for the same price she wanted us to lower our price to.... Be careful with these people. They are crooks. They are trying to trick people into selling well below actual market value so they can just hurry up and earn a commission.
