Kagiso was very responsive and got me in to see houses quickly, which was a must for houses in my price range. He did a great job pointing out pros and cons of a house and being realistic with things that would need to be updated, etc. When it came to selling my house, he made solid recommendations on what we should do to best show our house. He set up showings based on our schedule and hosted an open house. We got a list price offer from our first showing! When it came to coordinating the two closings, Kagiso and his team managed all the logistics. I didn't have to worry about a thing. Would highly recommend Kagiso and his team!

Kagiso (KG) brought both knowledge of the market and insight into how to deal with different prospective buyers. I chose to work with KG because he knew the market between Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, and Holland MI very well. He also gave valuable suggestions for the timing of the listing of our home, photography, and other ways to make the house marketable. Although we sold the home while out of state, KG made this remote transaction easy and brought peace of mind. He would frequently go to the home, making sure it was presentable, and ensuring that the utilities were on or off based on scheduled open houses or showings. He really did go above and beyond other realtors I have worked with. His communication is frequent and responsive. He would relay pertinent information exactly as it became available.

I would highly recommend KG to anyone trying to sell their home.

Working with Kagiso (KG) was a pleasure. We were not in a hurry to purchase and did not initially know exactly what we wanted for this new residence. KG was patient and helped us understand the area and the market. Once we decided on our direction, KG found an ideal property in a short amount of time. We were able to see the property before others and he helped us quickly obtain the property.
Highly recommend KG for your real estate needs!

I can honestly say I would not have this home with KG's help. As a first time home buyer he walked me through the process step by step and was always available for questions. His knowledge of what to look for in a house and all the little things he did to make my offer look even better in the eyes of the seller was super helpful in getting this condo. Most importantly you can really tell that his number 1 goal is to help you get the home you are looking for. He doesn't push you to accept the first thing that comes along and really helps find a place that suites your needs and wants.

We worked with Will twice. He helped us to buy our first home in 2015, and he helped us again in 2022 when we sold that house. Both times he went above and beyond to make the whole home buying, and selling process smooth, easy, and as stress-free as possible. When we bought our house, he provided us will excellent knowledge and information on what to look for, and look out for. He is always responsive. And he helped to get us a great deal on our home. When we sold our house in 2022, he brought in experts to help us stage the house, get photos taken, and get the house sold quickly. He negotiated on our behalf, and got us more for our home than we had hoped for. Finally, when we moved in 2022, we moved out of state. Will vetted agents in the area we were moving to, and set us up with a great agent. We actually didn't use the agent he referred us to at first, because we were also referred to someone by my wife's employer. Unfortunately, that relationship was not a good fit. We ended up going back to the agent will initially referred us to, and it was an excellent fit, and we actually had our offer accepted on a new home yesterday, with her assistance. We are forever thankful for all the help that will has given us over the years. He is definitely a top tier professional. We cannot recommend him enough, or give him high enough praise.

He made the house buying process which is stressful especially during these times less stressful and walked me through every process. I truly enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a home. You will not be disappointed.

It was quite an awesome experience working with KG. From the start, he had an answer for each question we have had and more. Working with him was above and beyond a real estate transaction. With his help, we managed to get the house we were looking for in Grand Rapids' competitive housing market. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a straightforward and honest agent.

Will was extremely helpful through the home buying process, and most importantly did not try to be pushy with our decision. I could tell he wasn't just trying to get us into any house, but the right house.

He was patient and very flexible to accommodate busy schedules. I plan to recommend Will to my friends and family in the future.

This is the second home we have purchased with Will as our realtor. His knowledge of what his job are second to none. Anything he may not know the answer to he works diligently to find out. He is easy to get along with, and makes the home buying process easy and enjoyable. Choose Will as your realtor and you won’t be disappointed.

I cannot say enough positive things about working with Will. Moving from out of state and being unfamiliar with the area was quite daunting. From our initial meeting all the way to closing, we knew we had a fabulous realtor. Will was attentive and discerning when we were touring homes. He was very accessible and responsive throughout our home buying process. His kind demeanor puts you at ease. Once we found our home, that’s where Will’s strengths as a negotiator were evident. He definitely represented us well and with integrity. Will also was a tremendous help recommending potential lenders and other businesses we needed to contact for our new home. We couldn’t be more pleased and highly recommend Will whether you are buying or selling a home. He truly is your friend in real estate!

Will was so positive thru out the entire time we searched for housing. I never felt pressured and I always felt he was looking out for my best interest. He was professional along with caring. Will made this crazy time and process doable. He answered any and all of my questions. He is knowledgeable.
He helped me find a home I can feel really good about at a price I really feel good about. I would highly recommend Will Friend if you are looking to purchase the home that's for you. He listens to the details you want and he searches for them. This is a hard market at this time I'm so glad Will was my agent to navigate me to my home.

I would recommend Will without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. From his immediate response to our initial inquiry to anticipating potential problems with closing he got us through both buying and selling a house. We found our dream home the first day out with him and sold our house almost immediately after it was listed for more then asking. We worked with a good real estate in the past and Will is in a class of his own. We will track him down if we ever need an agent again and already recommend him to our friends.

As first time home buyers, Will was an absolute dream for my husband and I to work with. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. He found exactly what we were looking for in a short period of time. He was always willing to work extra hours. He talked us through our offer while on his anniversary date. After we closed, he gave us the most thoughtful housewarming gift bag. We don’t see him as just our realtor, but now as our friend. We couldn’t recommend him more.

Will was very patient with me and truly understood what type of house I was looking to make a home. I couldn't put the exact words what I was looking for but Will described the type of home I was looking for to a "T". He never wasted my time and showed me houses that were exactly within my price range and with the amenities that I desired. He made me feel like I was a priority even though I know he had other clients. He was very professional especially with Covid-19 regulations and extra precautions that were required. Will and his assistant, Tiffany, were very responsive and transparent through the whole process from pre-qualification to closing of my home. To put the "icing on the cake" he even gave me a congratulatory gift at closing and checks in every so often. Thank you to Will and his team!

Will came highly recommended by my two sons who bought and sold homes through him. He helped me from the starting point of finding the market value for my condo, to presenting it in the best way by staging and photos, which turned out to be especially important through COVID 19 when open houses and showings became impossible and then very limited! What a challenging time for seller and agent! His negotiating skills finally brought the sale of my condo to a successful completion. A lovely person and great realtor. I agree with my sons and highly recommend Will.

Working with Will was great! He did a great job of managing the process and ensuring that it was smooth every step of the way. His communication was top-notch which gave me peace of mind that things were moving along. Also, he has a very good understanding of the West Michigan market, which helped ensure that our strategy was adjusted accordingly.

KG Motaung began working with me in May, 2020. Every interaction with him has been professional, courteous, and personalized to meet my needs, calm my anxiety, and find the perfect home for me. KG seemed to know exactly what I needed shortly after we began telephone conversations, as I live a few hours away. When he found the home he knew was meant to be mine, KG worked tirelessly to make sure the offer he presented was the best offer. And I am so glad he did; working most of Memorial weekend to continue to enhance it, KG was able to make our offer stand out in a sea of 23 offers!

KG knows that while price is important, he also understands instinctively what both the buyer and the seller need/want in an offer. He always does this with kindness and humility and he always puts his client above any self interest or financial intent. I trust him completely to make decisions in my best interests. KG is open and honest and explains things in a way that makes them easy to understand and he is the most optimistic person I know!

KG follows up on all the details of the real estate transaction and makes me feel like I am his only customer, even though I know how busy he is. He is responsive to email, text, and phone calls and meticulous in following up on questions and concerns. KG has amazing communication skills both verbally and in writing. Even though we met due to business, I believe we will remain friends for many years.

Will has now helped my whole family purchase our homes here in Michigan. Our family has all had great experiences with him and his team. We gave Will a very hard task of finding us a home before our lease was up on our apartment and he did! I will always use Will as my realtor.

Will Friend was excellent to work with. We used Will to find our new home, as well as sell our old home. He was very knowledgable about the buying and selling process. He was very patient with us when we asked lots of questions. He made everything go as smooth as possible for us. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to work with and we would definitely recommend him to others!

Kagiso (KG) was an absolute joy to work with! He made the process of buying and selling our house simple and stress free for us. He was professional, he knew the area well and had the data to back it up, he was always on time and available for all our unique questions. He was a big reason that our house sold in a day and a half (and above asking price!). He understands real estate and has a passion for serving other people. I loved getting to know Kagiso and his heart and without a doubt would work with him again.

We could not be happier about our experience working with KG. He worked extremely hard helping us get our house ready to be shown and gave a lot of valuable insights. He came impressively prepared with comps and help us price our home appropriately. Our house sold in one weekend and every step of the process went smoothly. I would happily recommend KG to anyone looking for a realtor that goes above and beyond for his clients.

Will was wonderful to work with in selling our home! We appreciated his attention, assistance in helping us rearrange our furniture and decor to maximize the home, and negotiated with realtors to ensure we received the best offer on our home. He even helped us find a great realtor in the city we were moving to out of state. Highly recommend Will if you're looking to sell or buy a home!

Will Friend II is the epitome of what a Real Estate Professional is. I was pleased by his friendliness and professionalism. His negotiation skills got us over the asking price of our house and I would certainly recommend him to anyone who is interested in selling or buying a home. You can not go wrong with a good Friend.

We have nothing but good things to say about Will! He truly is a friend to us! He made the selling and buying process so simple. He kept us informed every step of the way. His negotiating skills are exemplary. We received well over our asking price when selling our home and purchased our new home below the sellers asking price. It was a win win deal and we could not have done that without Will's expertise. If you're looking for the best in real estate, look no further than Will Friend!

In a highly competitive market and with a narrow window of time, Will did a fantastic job of helping us find a solid house that meets our family's needs. He walked with us each step of the way and advocated for us through the process so that our offer was accepted. We are so thankful our paths crossed through a family referral, because Will has become not just our agent but our friend.

This is our 3rd time closing a transaction with Will Friend in the last 4 years. We have only have positive to say about Will. Everything he says and does is done with honesty and integrity. He makes sure all questions are answered thoroughly and promptly. He responds to messages and texts basically immediately regardless of the time of day. On top of it all hes a great christian guy that we can honestly just say, "we don't know what all this means but we trust you" and that says a lot while making these types of decisions. Will Friend goes above and beyond and we recommend him to everyone that talks about realty needs.

Will helped us through the whole buying process from beginning to end and beyond. He helped us find the best mortgage company, warned us about pitfalls in this market, prepared us for what we needed to offer, and negotiated a quick deal. He was patient with our questions and a calming presence in our urgency to find a house. You can't find a better realtor than Will Friend. If I ever move again, he will be my first call!
