Filloreta understands that buying a home is one of the biggest investments a person can make, and she loves seeing her clients in a better position in life than when they started their homebuying process. “I like to think of myself as the bridge leading them to the next chapter of their lives,” she said, smiling.

“As real estate professionals, we have the privilege of being a part of a significant milestone in our clients’ lives. Witnessing the excitement and relief when we help them find the perfect home or secure a successful sale is a feeling that cannot be matched," Amy Jo said.

Both Nate and Brandi agree that one of the most rewarding aspects of being agents is when they can exceed client expectations. “I love being able to create a tailored and unique experience that will most benefit each person who I help and the outcome of each sale,” Brandi shared. 

“It isn’t about a sale: It is about the family we serve,” Tammy Jo explained. “We give straight talk with no fluff, and we are respected for that. That is what has earned our customers’ trust year after year.”

“Real estate for me has been less about sales figures and more of a way to connect with and assist people. Once I became a full-time agent for the second time, I was surprised with how effectively those extra 25 to 30 hours were absorbed into my business, yet, somehow, it felt like I was working less," Pete explained.

Despite Major Homes’ numerous achievements, Rachel remains grounded, acknowledging the challenges that come with the territory. “One of the largest challenges in the past couple of years is finding suitable and affordable housing for clients,” she admitted. However, her team’s proactive approach and strategies have enabled them to overcome obstacles and find creative solutions for their clients.

Ryan passionately refers to his work as the “life moments industry,” recognizing the profound impact real estate has on people’s lives. “We have the privilege of guiding clients through both the heights and depths of their circumstances, creating lasting memories and meaningful experiences along the way,” he said.

Drew focuses on tackling challenges that others consider unsolvable and is continually improving the client experience. “My aim is to deliver a memorable and consistent experience,” he said. “As an entrepreneur, there’s no limit to the number of people you can support and serve.”

As an agent, Lauren is passionate about helping families that are relocating to West Michigan. It is her personal mission to find the perfect home and community for them in the area so they immediately feel welcomed. She especially loves to tour old houses. “The older and quirkier, the better!” Lauren said. “I love old-home history and fun facts about real estate!”

According to Amanda, the most rewarding part of her business is being able to watch herself grow and blossom after a hard closing of her previous business. “I’m very thankful for fresh starts and new opportunities, and I never want to find a new job again,” she said. “I absolutely love real estate and all it offers for our family!”
