  • Zillow 5 Star Review  Paul was extremely helpful throughout the entire buying process, including providing information about the surrounding area and educating me on the process itself. He helped make the process as non-stressful as it could be and checked in with me to make sure things were moving along smoothy, as well as always responding to any questions I had quickly. I highly recommend working with Paul and would work with Paul again in the future when the need arises.

    Zillow 5 Star Review  Andrew Bouman was outstanding from the beginning. Very responsive and followed up with the seller quickly. There was never a point in the process where I felt he was lacking. He also gave me great recommendations to other services that I needed which helped a lot. Even after closing Andrew still helps me with follow up items. I could not recommend him more. If I'm ever in the market again I will definitely give him a call

    Zillow 5 Star Review  My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Paul to find and close on our new home in Holland, MI. Paul's extensive knowledge and expertise of the local housing market were invaluable in making the process smooth and successful. Paul was patient and trustworthy in navigating the strong, competitive market in Holland. He went above and beyond in ensuring that we found exactly what we were looking for while educating us on each step of the process, and consistently checked in to see if we had any questions along the way. We are incredibly grateful for his assistance and highly recommend using Paul!

    Zillow 5 Star Review  We worked with Paul Boonstra on a recent home purchase in Grand Rapids and he made the process incredibly easy. He was very knowledgeable on the market and helped us write competitive offers in a very competitive market. We will definitely work with Paul and Luke Bouman team again in the future.

  • Zillow 5 Star Review  Paul helped my wife and I find the perfect house for us on the first weekend we went out viewing properties! We were first time homebuyers so the entire process was quite overwhelming. He helped us navigate everything from start to finish and provided us with invaluable and easy to understand information. He was not only knowledgeable, but also quick to respond to any and all questions via email / text / phone. I would recommend Paul to anyone looking to purchase a home, especially first time buyers!

GIVING BACK

to our community
compassionate heart

The Compassionate Heart vision was founded by its Executive Director, Donna Bunce, after her first child was diagnosed cognitively impaired and mildly autistic. As she watched her teenage son struggle with friendships, relationships, and social situations, she dreamed of a place where he and others with disabilities could find friends, acceptance, and a place to have fun. In 2006, God answered that prayer, leading her to create Compassionate Heart Ministries. Since then, hundreds of families with loved ones ages 14-35 with mild to moderate disabilities have found a home and a family of support at Compassionate Heart Ministries!

kids food basket

Kids’ Food Basket is a grassroots, community solution to childhood hunger. We began over a decade ago by serving 125 kids each school day through our Sack Supper program and now serve nearly 8,800 kids each weekday in West Michigan. We believe healthy food is a right—not a privilege—for every child. But not all kids have access to nutritious meals and therefore experience hunger and undernourishment. Kids’ Food Basket exists to fundamentally disrupt the social determinants of health for children by alleviating immediate hunger needs and fostering long term positive impact through life-affirming, daily nourishment and education.

hope

At age 10, Krista & Dave Mason’s son Ben was diagnosed with autism and nonverbal communication. As Ben grew, they recognized a need for their son and those like him to have a place to thrive as adults. While similar organizations embrace a “Live, Learn, Play” model, Krista wanted to ensure those with developmental differences seeking a home in the church could experience the full joy of participation in a faith community without judgment or isolation from the larger community. Today, Ben’s Hope offers not only a thriving neighborhood cherished as home by 30 adults with developmental differences, but also a community for Christ’s followers of all abilities, now 400 members strong.
