Full-service real estate agency owners Dan Sundberg and Linda DeZeeuw of Calder Properties are known for doing more for their clients. But that’s not what’s different. It is, however, a big part of the reason for their recent expansion and name change. Calder Properties is not just a real estate agency anymore. It is also a comprehensive property management company. But that’s not what’s different either. So, what’s different about Calder Properties? It’s the way they do business. As both real estate agents and property managers, Calder Properties partners with buyers, sellers, investors, and renters. Maybe you’ve heard that real estate agents all work for the seller. While it’s true that sellers pay agents their commissions, Dan and Linda understand that renters will someday be buyers, and buyers will someday be sellers. Instead of just banking sales commissions, they are committed to providing the best service to ALL of their clients and creating customers for life. A Full-Service Agency Serving Buyers and Sellers in the Greater Grand Rapids Area When acting as buyer’s agents to help you purchase a home, Dan and Linda will give you an honest professional opinion concerning every property you see.

And it has made Calder Properties very popular with both owners and tenants. “I don’t think of myself as much a manager as I do a partner,” Dan explains. By helping property owners to keep their properties updated and in good condition, the tenants are happy. And happy tenants take better care of their homes and stay put longer which is good for the property owners. Dan’s unique fair-pricing strategy for rent and property management fees is also well-liked. “I believe in keeping unit rents priced close to the market but at a point where you can eliminate vacancy as much as possible.” We’ll post more about Calder Properties’ property management fees and pricing your rental unit in coming weeks.
