Selecting Your Real Estate Club

Michael Weitzman • January 28, 2014

It may not seem like spring yet when you look outdoors, but it’s never too early to start thinking about your golf game. You know what else it’s not too early to think about? Spring home sales, whether you’re buying a home or selling.
Whatever your spring passion may be, perhaps you’re already preparing for it. For a golfer, that may mean practicing putting or shopping for new gear for the upcoming season. Golfers actually put a lot of thought into things like finding a particular club to improve their game. When you select a club, you make sure that it fits you, your hand, your game, your power. You can even get evaluated for a custom fit driver to help you accomplish your goals.
Choosing a new club can be a lot like finding a real estate agent. Whether you’re selling a home or buying one, if you want to have a great experience, you need an agent who fits with the type of home as well as with your personality.
How do you know a real estate agent is a good fit for you? Certainly that varies, but generally, you’ll be most successful with a real estate agent who possesses these qualities:


  • Is intimately and passionately
    familiar with your market
  • Has a demonstrated track record
    for your type of home
  • Communicates and makes you a
    priority
  • Is a recognized winner
  • Has appealing listings

How you measure each of these qualities is up to you, but when you meet an agent, ask as many questions as you need to until you’re comfortable.
At The Sprich Group, we’ve been passionately involved in the Grand Rapids market for years, consistently among the top agents. And 2013 was no different. I sold over $8.6 million in volume last year, finishing 4th out of 218 agents in personal sales in the entire Grand Rapids area. I even finished 13th out of both teams and single agents in the Grand Rapids area. We pride ourselves on responsive communication and knowledge of the ever-changing Grand Rapids real estate market.
Much of golf is preparation – for the shot, game, or season. Selecting the right club is key to success. When you’re preparing to buy or sell a home, choose a real estate agent who will help you succeed. Contact The Sprich Group today at 616.485.0952 to see if we’re a fit for you.
