Doug helped me and my 2 brothers thru the process of selling our childhood home. He was helpful answering all the questions we had along the way. He negotiated the best price we could get and are happy with the outcome.

Helped me buy and sell homes • Grand Rapids, MI • 2025
Doug and his team helped us sell our house in Grand Rapids and find a new home in the country. His plan for selling our house and being patient with us as we searched for a new home was second to none. He was always available to let us know our options when we received an offer, and how he helped us in negotiating for our new home was outstanding. Finding that just right house wasn't easy but Doug and his team were helpful finding and visiting homes, even in a snow storm. We would recommend Doug to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.

Listed and sold a home • Caprice Jenison, MI • 2025
Doug helped my daughter and husband sell their home and they had nothing but positive things to say about him, so we gave him a call. Doug was excellent to work with and I would highly recommend him. He walked us through the process step by step. Our home was posted for a week and sold the that same week (for more than our asking price)! I highly recommend him to anybody needing an experienced realtor.

Listed and sold a home • 2025
Doug was excellent to work with and I would highly recommend him. We met with him prior to listing and he was completely up front about his commission and related fees regarding the sale of our house. We discussed with him what price we should list for and he did some comparables for us to make sure we were reasonably pricing our home. We listed in the winter which is not exactly prime time to sell real estate. We listed on a Wednesday and Doug had our house sold on the following Monday for an above offer sale price. It really doesn't get any better than that.

Helped me buy and sell homes • 2025
Doug helped us make a home purchase and also sell our home. His expertise in the area of all things real estate was invaluable as we had to make several big decisions. Especially in making an offer and negotiating a fair price, Doug helped talk us through the process. We were more than impressed by how Doug worked to list and sell our house in the slowest time of year. We were able to sell our house in less than two weeks of being on the market. If you want a friendly, professional and knowledgeable realtor who will answer all your questions and be availabe when you need them, we can't recommend Doug Takens enough.

Doug worked with me to sell my condo quickly. My unplanned surgery and relocation to a new area were complications he accommodated. I highly recommend Doug for his commitment to the best business practices and for the care he has for his clients.
