James Kutschat and his wife Michelle made this buying experience bearable. I was having problems with a big city lender who did not understand rural area living and how things are done locally in a smaller town. Things such as building inspectors licenses and the closest fire department being over 15 miles away almost ended my purchase of the property. James and Michelle intervened through phone calls and emails to help answer every concern and question my lender had which ultimately led to the funding of my dream cabin in the woods. They were also co-representing the buyer and seller and I felt that they had my best interist in mind at all times. I would definitely recommend James and Michelle to anyone looking to purchase or sell a property in the area and can only give them and all of their efforts the highest praise. < less

Jim and Michelle Kutschat did not only show professionalism in their business dealing but they also took into account my personal life's journey that had relevance and bearing to the sale of my cabin. Selling my cabin was not only emotional but also a life changing event. Jim and Michelle showed compassion; they understood and respected my feelings and emotions. They had also ensured a fair and just business transaction among us -- seller, buyer, and brokers. In the end, it was not just about the cabin successfully sold; it was the relationship and the positive experience that made a big difference. Such would eventually help the business of CENTURY 21 Land of Lakes long term. Thank you Jim and Michelle! < less

Jim's location was geographically close to our property and I believed he would be best suited to service our and any prospective buyer needs best. And I was right.

I would consider Jim as a person anyone might consider as a friend he has a warm approachable personality that serves well in a sales position. His wife and partner Michelle takes amazing photos of your property that display it at its best. They placed photos of our property in the local news as a feature. Id give them a 10 out of 10.

Cant say enough about our experience with Jim. We have already passed his card on to others. < less

We were very satisfied with Jim and Michelle's help in selling our lakeshore property. They were very attentive to our needs and always available for feedback and questions.

Since we live a distance from the property it was important for us that we were able to communicate and discuss concerns easily with Jim and Michelle.

Their knowledge and familiarity of the area was a big plus for us and knowing the lake property market was really important in our decision to place our confidence with Jim and Michelle and Century 21 Realty of Grand Rapids.

I would highly recommend Jim and Michelle Kutschat as realtors. < less

Jim and Michelle were very on top of the situation from the get go. They set up showings that we asked to see, felt free to suggest others that perhaps we missed. Throughout the negotiation they were in constant communication with us. The entire process went so smoothly that it seemed almost impossible. We could not be happier and would HIGHLY recommend Jim and Michelle to anyone looking for a great agent/team! < less

Jim was an excellent Broker,we couldn't have be more satisfied with the way he handled the selling of our property,we had been trying to sell it for a while,both with another realtor and on our own with no success. Bill had actually called another realtor and was told that they weren't interested in trying to sell our lot because it would be hard to sell,so we tried Century 21 and talked to Jim and he agreed to look at the property,he called that same afternoon,so we signed with him and he kept us updated when he was showing the place and had an offer very quickly,which is exactly what we were hoping for. < less

Jim and Michelle, You guys are WONDERFUL! I am sorry it took so long to complete the survey, but we have been enjoying our new lake home, and have been very busy. You two make a great team and compliment each other very well. You always made us feel important and answered all of our questions. If you did not know you would find out for us. You even took us to look at homes in 2 snow storms. You knew what we were looking for and at the right moment you sent us the listing that we purchased and so much enjoy. The lake home is beautiful and we appreciate all the times you helped us look for the perfect retirement home(Soon I Hope!) The house warming gift was perfect. And I really appreciate you both stopping by after we settled in to see how we were doing and how we liked our lake home! I will recommend you to anyone that is buying or selling a property. Please keep in touch. You know where we live and how to get a hold of us! Thank you so Much!! < less
