Serving Clients' Real estate needs all around Southwest MI since 1991.

About Me:

Totally Free Grand Rapids, MI Real Estate Information

So,  Ron Tiller , who are you, anyway?

I have been a licensed real estate salesperson and Realtor®, working full time in Southwest MI real estate, since 1990. My lovely wife Meg joined me in the business in March of 1999. During this time, we have had the pleasure of meeting and helping hundreds of families and individuals with their real estate needs. Some of these needed help buying or selling a home or investment property and some have just needed some free advice. We realize and appreciate that every persons' needs are unique and we always strive to make your real estate transaction as smooth and as pleasant as possible, always with a written satisfaction guarantee available.

All about us

Prior to entering the real estate business, I worked most of my life in the residential construction business as a home builder. This allowed me to learn all of the ins and outs of home construction, helping me to spot, and evaluate the severity of, any problems in a home that my clients are thinking of purchasing. This knowledge also helps me determine the easiest and least expensive fixes for any problems that a home seller may need to take care of before placing a home on the market.

Meg has worked in the customer service world for many years and it shows. Her concern for the unique needs of each client is amazing and a real comfort to clients during the stress filled process of buying or selling homes. Meg is also the delightful voice that can be heard on the Free Recorded Messages and Talking House ®

5. We Negotiate FOR YOU

Surprises are for birthdays and Christmas, not for real estate transactions.

Your best buddy is NOT an expert but seems to always have an opinion, often based on his unique experience. Say thanks and ignore it.

When an offer is written for your home, we prepare a report that shows you exactly how much you should expect to net at the sale.  Then, a couple of days prior to settlement day, we provide a precise, to the penny, accounting for you. That way there are no last minute surprises.  Unfortunately, real estate transactions are somewhat adversarial. It's only natural because home sellers want more and home buyers want to pay less. A large part of our purpose in the transaction is to help both sides keep their emotions under control so that the final result is a WIN/WIN situation. We have a reputation in the real estate community for being fair and yet firm in our representation of our clients best interests.

6. After The Sale

For us, and for our clients, it is not over when it is over. Whether you are buying or selling a home, it is a time filled with emotions. As we share your emotions, we will develop a relationship that goes far beyond the real estate transaction. We will become friends. As our friends, your life after the sale is very important to us. We want to know what happens in your life and we will share our life events with you. We may call you out of the blue just to see how things are going. We may stop by to see what you have done to your new home. And we will certainly let you know about us through the newsletter that we regularly send to our past clients and other friends.  Our newsletter is about things you can do for your home and, more importantly, it is about life in general with some good, old fashioned, down home advice.

Because we are friends, we will always be available to answer any real estate questions that you or your friends or family may have. After all, what are friends for? All that we ask in return is that if the opportunity arises, and only if we have delivered service above and beyond your expectations, that you will share your experiences with those you love, in order that we might be given the privilege of also helping them with their Southwest Michigan real estate needs.

Testimonials

What People are saying about their real estate experiences in Southwest, MI with Ron Tiller

Hi Ron and Meg,
     Dino and I want to thank the both of you for selling our home in "Record Time". We listed our home with you on December 15, and we closed on January 30 . Count the weeks. We count 6 weeks from listing to closing. "Great" "Super"
     We had our home listed for the first time in July of 2003. It was listed for almost 3 months and we had not one showing. Zip. Nothing. Then we listed with another real estate person for 2 months and once again "no showings". Once again zip.  Finally we called Ron and Meg in December and we got some results. Right after we listed with you we had 4 showings and we had 2 offers on our home. On the first offer we could not reach an agreement but on the second offer we were able to come to an agreement. We just couldn't believe it. After 6 months of "no action" we got some results. We were so happy. You guys were just "great".
     We don't know quite what it was that sold our home but we know it was your marketing of our home that did it. It could have been all the signs you put up in the yard, the recorded telephone message, the talking radio message, the virtual tour, the ugly "YELLOW" sign or the Internet. All we know is that whatever you guys did you did it "RIGHT".  Both of us would highly recommend you to other people interested in selling their homes.
     One other comment, I forgot to mention above is that you guys kept in touch with us after we signed the listing. We were not ignored after the signing and that was important to us.
     It was great working with the both of you. Thanks again Ron and Meg for selling our home. The best to you. Take care.
Dino and Marie Pezzato

 

 

Dear Ron,

     Tom and I want to thank you for the really awesome job you did getting our house sold and for doing it in record time.  Even though the local realtors around here told us we could never get what we had to have for our home ( two of them tried with no luck at all ) you went to work on it harder than we ever would have imagined. It was very reassuring to see all of the cars stopping out in front to listen to the talking house machine. We noticed one car that stopped at least three different times in one week and that turned out to be the couple that bought our house for full price. They told us that they heard your recorded telephone message and just had to check out our house. I know that we will never try to sell without a talking house again.

Thanks again for saving the day for us,

Amanda Caruthers

 

 

Thank you so very much for getting our home sold in such short time. After listing it with 2 different agencies from nearby, with not even one showing, Andy and I had just about given up hope of getting our new home. Then you sent us a letter and some other stuff about the extra things you do to sell homes. We decided to give it one more shot before giving up but I have to tell you we were skeptical. We thought we should wait until spring but you said we could sell it in the winter if it was done right. I am so glad that we listened to you. Even though it was the middle of the winter holiday seasons you found a buyer for us in only 9 weeks and we got our price.

Thanks from both of us,

Melissa Hubert

Way to go big guy. Now we're homeless, thanks to you. Of course that was our goal. Sheila and I have always wanted to live on our boat, unencumbered by real estate. To sail the seas has been a dream for a very long time and you and your darling wife have made our dream come true. After having our home listed with Greenridge, then a small local company, we had pretty much decided that we were destined to be landlubbers. It took a couple weeks for your awesome advertising to get fired up, but when it did we soon had 2 offers on the home, took the best one of the two and we can now live our dream

Thanks again. We owe it all to you

Dear Ron,

I just wanted to thank you for saving the day for us. When I built the home, I wanted it to be the very best in the neighborhood and I went a little over board on some of the amenities. After over 2 years on the market with four different local realtors, I was desperate. The mortgage payments were draining us and we thought we might have to let the bank take the home. Somehow, as soon as you went to work to sell it, things started happening. We got an offer,  sight unseen, from that guy in New Jersey, just from seeing your virtual tour thing. Unfortunately he had to sell his home first and couldn't perform right away. 2 weeks later we had another offer from a young couple who could, and did, buy it. AT MY PRICE.  Thanks again from Joanne and I. We will recommend you to everyone we see.

Dear Mr. Tiller,

Thank you for your help in getting our home sold. The financial problem we had gotten into wasn't your fault but you understood our needs and got our house sold after 3 other real estate companies couldn't even get anyone to look at it. Even though we were priced a little high, you got a lot of activity going with all the extra stuff you and Meg do. We especially got a kick out of all the people stopping to listen to the talking house machine. The guy that

bought the house said it was the talking house that got him interested in seeing the inside. Thank goodness he did. Next time we sell we will call you first.

Your clients for life

Jason and Claudia

 

 

Ron and Meg,

Thanks for all your help in getting Mary's mom's house sold quickly. It was a very difficult and emotional time for Mary and your handling of the sale was just awesome. Not only did you have a full price offer in just a few days, you had three of them. Your virtual tour is the best one I have ever seen and that talking house is a hoot. We were a

little bit unsure about that big, ugly, yellow sign but there were sure a lot of people stopping to write down the phone number from it. If everyone would let you sell their homes there would probably be a lot less stress in the world.

Thanks again for all of your caring help and Mary sends her love

Bill Maitlin
