MacIntyre & Cowen RE/MAX Real Estate Professionals W Lake Lansing Rd, East Lansing

Joel was fantastic and was with us every step of our home search and purchase. We valued his pragmatic and generous insights and it was crucial as we dealt with counter offers. We never want to have to buy another house, but if we do, we are calling Joel and this office. We also want to thank Kaycee for her amazing work and patience. The Shaws.

My husband and I were very lucky to have Joel Sodeman as our Buyer's agent in our successful search for three different properties for personal and investment purposes. He was very professional, responsive, patient and knowledgable. He offered his professonal opinions but was not pushy, promptly prepared all paperwork, organized inspections and contacted other third parties on our behalf. He managed and guided us through the entire process We feel we have found a new business partner and friend in Joel. We would not hesitate to recommend Joel to family and friends and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Eleanor is the best!!!!!!!!!! She got us into every house we wanted so see ASAP. When you look at as many houses as we did, you have to see your agent a lot, which means you need to be comfortable around them. Eleanor is now considered part of our family. She found every flaw and made sure the house we wanted was what we got. The closing process was fairly quick and she updated me as often as she could. I will never use any other agency. They are the best!

I had a fantastic experience working with Jeff. As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions that he was happy to answer, and he was great pointing out any possible problems with the houses we were looking at. Jeff also had great ideas on how to negotiate when there was another offer on the home we were interested in. I would highly recommend Jeff and RE/MAX to any who was looking for a home.

Highly Recommend Eleanor. I already bought several houses with her. She is an expert. If she is not with me, I never give an offer out. I was impressed by her accurate evaluation of a property. The price always goes as she expected. She is very knowledgeable about houses. She told me how much I would spend to fix the house. Finally, the cost would be very close.

We worked with Joel Sodeman and he is so wonderful! Last time we bought a house, our realtor was greasy and seemed so shady, he ignored me, would look at my husband for all decisions, and just really left me feeling pretty peeved. This time, we started out on the recommendation of a different realtor and the first interaction with him was really lackluster, he didn't send us half of the available houses and wasn't willing to look at houses in the price range we wanted. I googled realtors, chose the one with a million 5 star reviews and called the office. I told the girl that I wanted someone who would let us look at as many houses as I wanted, would talk to us like normal humans, and wasn't going to try to talk us into anything just for a bigger paycheck. She referred us to Joel and he is great! He is just a normal guy doing a fantastic job at his profession. So knowledgeable, but totally down to earth. We are not at all the keeping up with the jones type and he got that and didn't try to talk us into anything. He let us look at houses all over the literal map and houses in a huge range of prices. We started looking in December and closed in May-I think we looked at 80+ houses. We had one under contract and then realized it wasn't for us and when I called Joel to apologize/let him know, he was not only cool as a cucumber, but got us half our deposit back! And after all this, he was willing to keep looking with us. Joel is fantastic and I would never buy a house with anyone else in the Lansing area. I highly recommend him-trust me, we spent a lot of time together...he has the client's best interests at heart. And is fun to work with to boot. Call Joel if you need a realtor.

Me and my wife worked with Joel and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him. Joel worked with us as a buyer’s agent. Joel is very professional, always turns up 5 mins before scheduled showings. We worked on a very tight budget. After having a terrible experience with another big realtor in Lansing and wasting a month of our time we decided to shop around for realtors. After meeting and trying out 6 other realtors, we decided to work with Joel. He caught our attention because of his sharp observations on pros and cons of a home and a no non-sense approach towards protecting his client’s interests. We worked on a very tight budget and looked at a lot of houses in Lansing. BUT Joel never tried to discourage us because of our low budget, no matter what. In fact he encouraged us to “leave no option, and see everything”. Joel was always very quick to respond to our requests of showing houses on a short notice. Many times we would text him at 7 pm in the evening and he was able to schedule a showing the next morning by 10 am. Every potential home we saw, Joel could quickly tell us ballpark dollar values for the potential repairs and fix ups. This was really helpful to us. On the home we liked, it was like Joel read our minds and even while we were just driving back after the showing, Joel gave us a ring and informed us of the criticality of quickly making an offer on the home we ended up buying. I think had Joel not been on top of things, we would have taken a day or two to decide and would have definitely lost the home which we now know for a fact after meeting the seller. All in all, I would give him 10 stars if it was possible here. Cheers

Michele Hrusovsky at Remax did an amazing job with helping us find the perfect home. Michele was knowledgeable about all the homes, sent great suggestions for viewing, knew the home-buying process in and out, and helped us get a great deal on the house. I should also add that she's just a pleasure to work with. In a few weeks, we'll be closing on home that is everything we were looking for, and Michele is a huge part of why this happened.

We recently sold our home and bought a home with the help of Peter Macintyre and his team. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Peter was our sellers agent and priced the home appropriately. We had showings requests within a few hours and offers coming in within a few weeks that were at or above asking price. Eleanor was our buyers agent and we cannot say enough good things about her. We looked at a lot of homes before we found the right one. She was very patient with us and VERY knowledgeable whenever we had questions. Her expertise goes way beyond what a "typical" agent does. There were a few hiccups during our sale and purchase that neither party could control, but having them on our side made the process so much easier. If you're looking for a team that you can rely on and will go the extra mile to make it happen if needed, this is it! We are now enjoying our dream home and couldn't be happier with our decision. Thanks guys!

I worked with Joel Sodeman on my first time home buying experience. He was amazing!! Very professional yet fun to work with. During a few challenging instances, he kept me calm and was very reassuring. I would definitely recommend Joel and would most certainly work with him again.
