Laurie Zwiers REALTOR®

Laurie Zwiers

I love working with buyers to help them find the home that not only fits their needs and desires, but their budgets, as well. It gives me great joy to see how happy people are and how their faces light up when we walk for the first time into their "perfect home"!

I enjoy helping sellers determine a fair selling price for their home. I rely on my 23 years of experience running a retail business to creatively market each property and get it "SOLD!"

I have a passion and great interest in Real Estate Law, including Occupational Code, Fair Housing, Related Statutes, and the Administrative Rules for Realtors.

I have been involved in transactions involving all types of residential properties, including city and rural, lakefront, and multi-family (including foster care homes). I have extensive experience with land contracts, and can help you buy a home using a land contract.

Are you looking to buy a home? I can help!

Do you want to sell your home? I can help!

In 2004, I earned a Top Five Award at the prestigous All American Quarter Horse Show in Columbus, Ohio. I have passed on my love of horses to my children.

My husband, Dave, and I previously managed Parkview AFC, a 12-bed adult foster care home in Zeeland. We love to work with Developmentally Disabled (DD) individuals, helping them to achieve all they can be! In addition, we have been members of Ridge Point Community Church for over ten years. Over the years, we have been involved in various activities, such as serving as Sunday School Teachers, Youth Group Leaders, and sound and stage technicians.

Places I Have Lived

I was born and raised in the Beaverdam area (3 miles northeast of Zeeland), and have been a Zeelander all my life. We currently still reside in Zeeland, but also spend our weekends at our cottage on Gun Lake.
