Mitch took excellent care of us and was willing to show us so many homes in one weekend while we were in Michigan. We were able to find our perfect charming farmhouse! Mitch is thorough, patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable about the market and all areas surrounding Grand Rapids. He walked us through everything we needed to know, helped us sort out the pros and cons, work through our thoughts and ultimately decide on the perfect home. He kept us informed along the way with every step and every detail, and we always felt like we knew what was happening through the homebuying process. He treated us like family, as he does with all his clients, and we felt very safe and comfortable with him. Thank you for helping us find our first Michigan home, Mitch and Lynne! We are so very grateful!

This was my first time going through the home buying process. Mitch was very helpful. He explained how everything goes and what I should be doing next. Thank you.

Thank you, Mitch, for all your help with purchasing and selling the house. You made the process simple and easy to understand for us, and we appreciated your patience and expertise. You were able to answer all our question and resolve all concerns during the process. Your insight was extremely valuable to us and I don't think we could have done this without you. Thanks again for patience, dedication and professionalism.

Mitch and Lynne did a great job helping us find our new home! Moving from out of town, they were super helpful in showing us a bunch of different areas around Grand Rapids that meet our needs. Their knowledge and connections within the community are strong - they even found a house for us that wasn't on the market yet!! We are grateful to them for all their help and will be using them for any real estate needs in the future!

RECOMMEND. Impressive. Hard worker. Great communicator. After a terrible experience with our past realtor and a no-sale, Mitch Cripe brought his expertise along with solid connections including an interior designer and contractor. While being financially conscious, we made some home changes and he sold our house within a couple days!!

Mitch and his team are wonderful! My fiancé had dreams of moving from out of state, and were extremely intimidated by the process. Mitch and his wife went above and beyond to help us every step of the way. Through every obstacle, they were able to offer a solution and keep us on track! Within a few months, we landed our dream home/property and couldn’t have done it without them! ❤️

Very professional and amazing communication

Amazing support and services from Mitch and his team finding us an amazing home. The home met all of our requirements and had additional bonus features as well! We are very pleased and recommend their services to all. MITCH AND LYNN are part of our family. Our situation was unique and they accommodated with ease. Thanks y'all!!!
04/15/2023

Mitch was without a doubt the best realtor I have ever worked with. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the market. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He definitely goes the extra mile.
01/10/2023

We had a great experience working with Mitch selling our house. When it comes to real estate Mitch is my go to realtor. He has a wealth of knowledge in real estate and made the process so easy. Thanks Mitch for all your work.

Mitch & Lynne were the best to work with! They were professional, kind and attentive to our situation. They worked extremely hard to get our house sold and communicated efficiently and kept us up to date on everything we needed to know. Highly recommend !!!
08/15/2022

Mitch went above and beyond to make our buying a house an enjoyable and positive experience. He’s always there 24/7 to answer questions.

Mitch and Lynne are absolutely the BEST. My husband and I first met them when we rented a home from them when we first moved to Grand Rapids. Subsequently, they helped us purchase our dream home. Most recently, they helped us sell that home, as we were moving across the state for work. They are honest, trustworthy, and treated us like family. We felt supported throughout the whole process of selling our home, and they clearly communicated everything we needed to do and what to expect. They listened to our needs and concerns and addressed all of them so that we felt completely comfortable with the whole process. They have an unparalleled knowledge of the Grand Rapids area and real estate, and provided us with great advice on the pricing of our home, and gave us good insights into the market and how to understand and accept an offer. They spent time with us, walked around our home, and helped us stage the house in an optimal fashion for photos and showings. After we sold our home, they also went above and beyond- really anything we needed to ensure a smooth transition of our home to the new buyers. This was even more appreciated because we were splitting time between our new home across the state and Grand Rapids. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mitch and Lynne, and truly think you could not find anyone more kind, honest, trustworthy and skilled. We have worked with them as renters, as buyers, and now as sellers, and every experience has been exceptional. We are truly grateful to have met them and worked with them and think that they are the absolute best choice for all of your real estate needs in Grand Rapids!

The Cripe team is the best real estate team in the city, I would never do a transaction with another agent, nor would I recommend any other real estate team. Simply the best in the business.

Mitch and Lynne provided great service for us, especially selling our home during the virus stay at home order. Mitch embraced the opportunity to sell our home virtually, listing our home on a number of websites as his office has the latest technology to broadcast listings. Of several interested buyers, one from out of state actually made an offer on the home after a Zoom video walkthrough that Mitch set up and we conducted. Unfortunately, an over zealous home inspector scared off the buyers. Always make certain to have a home inspector that is a member of The American Society of Home Inspectors:https://www.homeinspector.org. Mitch assured us that our home would sell and the day the stay at home order was lifted, we had interested buyers walk through our home. Two days later we had an offer. Mitch and his team were there for us during one of the worst periods to sell a home and they came through for us. He will do that for you as well.
08/24/2020

We deeply appreciated having Mitch as our landlord. He is very responsive to any needs. He is also very personable. When the pandemic occurred, he was quick to phone us and allow us to leave the rental. This demonstration of generosity will not be forgotten. We also appreciated the home we rented. After looking at many houses, we walked into his rental and immediately knew it was the one! Go with Mitch as your realtor! You won't be disappointed!
04/21/2020

Mitch helped us buy a condo in 10 days! His negotiating skills truly impressed us and saved us a significant sum. He was readily available and patient with our questions and particularly our concerns over a wire transfer of funds from another state. We highly recommend him.
02/22/2020

I'd only been in my home for a year when an opportunity with work prompted a move out of state. Mitch and Lynne met with me and really made me feel comfortable with the process. They did a great job of marketing the home and also in offering suggestions to help get it sold as fast as possible. The communication throughout the process was great and they were very responsive to any of my questions or concerns. I'd definitely recommend Mitch to anyone that needs a great realtor.
03/04/2019

Working with Mitch and his wife was a great experience. Our household was growing on top of having to relocate and he had tremendous patience with us. He didn't rush us knowing our situation and told us that he was ready when we were. He kept us informed on the current market which ultimately paid off for us as we got several offers over asking price. We did a walk-thru prior to putting the home up for sale and he gave us his opinion on what we should work on. We ended up investing additional cash into the home but it again paid off thanks to his expertise. My wife used Mitch to purchase the same home that he sold for us 6+ years later. I would consider Mitch our realtor for life. We appreciate all your efforts in making the selling of our home and acquiring our vacant lot to build a great experience.
02/08/2018

Mitch Cripe and his wife Lynne were awesome to work with in helping my son find his first home. We appreciated his honesty, time spent with us, knowledge of homes, and his guidance in keeping everything moving quickly with the bank, homeowner and the buyer (my son). Excellent communication skills. Kept my son on top of what was happening from the beginning to end of sale. I definitely would recommend Mitch and his wife Lynne when looking for a new home.
01/31/2018

My husband and I went through Mitch when we purchased our condo in Caledonia. We thought his service and knowledge was outstanding. He always made himself available for us. I would recommend him to my friends and family if they ever need a good outstanding realtor.
01/25/2018

Mitch is probably the hardest working realtor I have ever met. He is extremely loyal and treats you like family. He covers every detail from beginning to end and goes above and beyond to make sure you are 100% satisfied. We have used Mitch several times in the last few years to buy or sell and would definitely recommend him to all of our friends.
01/17/2018

We had the pleasure of working with Mitch to buy and sell our first home and also to build our new home. He was so knowledgeable which was super helpful when we were young newlyweds and had no idea how to buy a house. He is amazing at negotiating and always gets you the best price. Im pretty picky and he showed us a ton of houses until we found the one! I would (and do) reccomend him to everyone I know. He's the absolute best!
01/17/2018

My husband and I worked with Mitch to purchase 2 different homes and really can't say enough good things about him. He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with his time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). He answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Mitch made it as painless and straightforward as possible. We highly recommend him. Plus you will gain a great friend in the process!
01/16/2018

If you choose Mitch as your realtor, you have made the best choice in the process of either selling or buying your home. Mitch's knowledge of the market is what sets him apart from the others. I trust Mitch because he will market my home (selling) at a price that gives me a better chance of multiple offers and in the end, a higher price. Through the whole process , whether selling or buying, you will always have the latest information. Your first best step step in maximizing your real estate investment s choosing Mitch as your realtor.
08/21/2017

Mitch was so great to work with and we would highly recommend him to any of our friends and family.
08/17/2017

Mitch has worked with me throughout the last couple of years and there is no other realtor I would trust more! He was wonderful to work with and I would 100% recommend him to anybody looking to buy or sell!
03/13/2025

Mitch and I had an unexpected multi-year process of trying to find a house. Jumping into a market in the initial stages of an exploding pandemic, we tried and were outbid numerous times. Mitch always kept things positive and adjusted parameters as the market kept shifting. I had all but given up after rate increases, when I started looking again this fall. Mitch's sage advice found a house with everything I was looking for, in the exact area I had wanted. Thanks for sticking by and helping guide this journey.
12/23/2024

We had a great experience working with Mitch. He was easy-going, on top of getting showings set up, and all-around super knowledgeable about houses beyond buying/selling. We would recommend him to anyone looking.
06/27/2024

Mitch has sold several properties to me, and sold several for me. The latest one he sold for me went for more than I was expecting and Mitch had it sold in 2 days! I highly recommend using Mitch for your real estate needs.
03/23/2024

I have bought and sold numerous homes in both Florida and Michigan over the past 35 years and I've never had a more professional and pleasant experience than I had buying a home with Mitch and Lynne in late 2023. We are new to the Grand Rapids area and their knowledge and understanding of this market was a huge plus for us, we were dealing with a challenging seller and Mitch got the deal closed promptly and efficiently. I would highly recommend the Cripe Team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Grand Rapids area!
02/12/2024

Mitch did a great job selling my parents condo.
10/19/2023

Mitch been helping me since I was a college student, and still does, and always show up when I need his help. Can’t ask for more
07/12/2023

I moved to Michigan from out of state and needed to find my perfect home very quickly. I cannot express how much I appreciate Mitch Cripe for listening to what I wanted and immediately going to work finding me many options to explore. Mitch and his wife Lynne were always available when I wanted to see a house or had any questions. Professional, knowledgeable and personable describes this amazing team that found me my perfect home. I highly recommend!
03/05/2023

Mitch is the best! My husband and I have purchased our first home with him and now sold that home to buy a new one. He’s motivated, efficient, kind, hardworking, and helpful. We couldn’t say enough good things about our experience with him.
10/31/2022

Mitch was GREAT! He was extremely knowledgeable about homes (design, good/bad things to look for, etc..) and really made us feel like he cared we found a great place. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a home. He made our first time home buying experience a great one.
10/09/2022

Great experience selling our home! Mitch was outstanding to work with. He is so personable, extremely helpful and his years of experience comes in handy when it comes to navigating the ups and downs of the real estate market!
07/28/2022

Very knowledgeable. Goes above & beyond.
04/21/2022

Mitch was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job on selling our home. He made the process super easy and provided valuable advise on how to best market our home and prepare it for sale. We would definitely recommend him as a realtor!
01/09/2022

Mitch and Lynne were fantastic throughout the whole house buying process! As a first time home buyer in the current market it can be a little daunting however Mitch made the process extremely simple and put us at ease during our whole experience. We are very fortunate to have been able to work with Mitch and could not recommend him more! For anyone who is looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy realtor, look no further than Mitch!
04/14/2021

Times were difficult when we listed the house for sale. It was during the holidays which can be hard enough but Mitch and his wife Lynne were great to work with. Meet us at the house, knowing that I was going to meet up with another realtor as well that week before making a determination which way to go. They advised us of something's we should do as well as what wasn't needed plus they left the paperwork with me knowing a determination was pending. At any rate - working with them went well. They listened as well as advised through the process. The market was tough but we held out , stayed focused and had great results with the sale being completed. Very happy with my decision to list with Mitch.
04/29/2020

Mitch and his team were wonderful to work with. We used them Six years ago when we bought our house, and we immediately chose to use them again when we decided to sell and find a new Home! Mitch is prompt in responding to us, and extremely Knowledgeable about the market. He does his research, And is honest. He made the process of buying and selling our home easy.
03/09/2020

Awesome service, personable, and friendly. Couldn't have been better.
02/17/2020

Thank you Mitch, for everything you did for our family when we relocated from Oregon to West Michigan. We expected significant challenges and a lot of stress when trying to find a house as winter approached, especially in an area that was completely foreign to us. But none of that became reality while working with you. You made the entire process easy, and ensured that we knew everything we needed to about each house that we stepped into. And when it came time to make the offer on our home (which was for-sale-by-owner), you were able to get us a better deal than we expected. Now that we have abruptly relocated to Wisconsin to be closer to family as we raise a family of our own, we knew right away that we wanted your guidance and opinion for what Realtor we should work with as we begin our search for a home in Green Bay. Thank you for your diligence and patience with us back in 2014, your persistence with our lender and title company to get the deal done quickly, making us feel a part of the Cripe family (we love your cards and newsletters), and for your continued guidance and support 5 years later as we move out of state.
01/29/2019

From taking my first phone call during the holidays, showing me multiple houses on New Year's Day, researching homes and prices of improvements I would need to make, and giving tips/hints along the way -- Mitch was a pleasure to work with and exceeded every expectation I had of a realtor.
02/04/2018

Mitch and Lynne did a fabulous job in helping us transition from the east side of Michigan. When you hire Mitch you also get Lynne - a bonus - and they both help you figure out your need and location. Once done, then they are great at scouring the area for opportunities while also sharing with you information about that area and great places to go and visit once you move in. They also have access to those with financing options. We highly recommend them!
01/27/2018

Mitch is very knowledgeable about the local real estate market and trends. He has an extensive contact list of experts ranging from finance/loans to home maintenance and repair/construction. I have used his services on several transactions on both the sale and purchase side and have been completely satisfied with the results. He gives good advice and has an excellent sense of current market conditions. I trust him completely to put my interests first in any real estate transaction.
01/19/2018

Mitch was always available to answer questions. He has wonderful customer service. He is a highly competent realtor and is a very good people person. He also had a wide network of connections.
01/17/2018

Mitch represented me and my husband throughout our first home purchase. At the time, we lived in Chicago with plans of relocating to Grand Rapids, and houses were selling faster than they were listed. He was incredibly helpful and responsive, even meeting us at a home last minute on a Sunday when we tried to act quickly on what looked like a good buy. Ultimately, we ended up building a home and Mitch guided us every step of the way, checking in on the progress and sending photos, as well as helping us with the final walk throughs and touch ups. We are so thankful for his expertise and guidance throughout our first home building/buying process and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for their next home!
01/17/2018

Mitch and Lynne Cripe have worked as a dynamic team for as long as we've known them. They know the Greater Grand Rapids area like the back of their hand and so when it was time for us to select a realtor whom we trusted to sell our family home, we called Mitch. Mitch and Lynne put together an awesome brochure of our home which included professional photos and video to help advertise as well as using several websites to get our home out there to prospective buyers, no detail was left behind. The Cripe's made a point of being in touch to give us feedback on every openhouse they had and whenever there was a showing. We would not hesitate to hire them again...top notch realtors and wonderful people and a dynamic team!
01/15/2018

We interviewed several realtors before meeting Mitch. Between buying and selling homes, we're going on our 4th home utilizing him. We wouldn't go with anyone else! He's the only realtor we've found that truly pays attention to our home needs for our family. He's so responsive to our calls, texts and emails. We're very choosy homebuyers and we will never work with anyone but him. . We just purchased a lake house that he found for us! He knew what our price range was and sent us houses everyday for us to look at (like I said, we're very choosy and have looked at a great deal of properties). He made us feel like we were his only clients- and that is key for us! And he found us our new home! We're so excited and so thankful we found Mitch!
08/18/2017

Mitch and Lynne were fantastic to work with. They helped me navigate the home buying process as a first time home buyer and answered all of my questions and concerns. They were super friendly and knowledgeable, and helped me find a home very quickly! I highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy a home!
02/23/2025

Mitch was great. He worked with us and helped us navigate as first time home buyers.
12/18/2024

Mitch goes the extra mile to help people, amazing guy to work with. Keep up the great work, certainly nice to find folks who care and take pride in their work. Thsnks
05/12/2024

I recently used Mitch Cripe to list my home after a terrible experience with another realtor. Mitch is an incredible agent! He brought an amazing wealth of experience and know-how to the table. His ideas, recommendations, and execution in prepping my home for listing on the market were a home run -not to mention he spearheaded everything as I was already living out of state. Mitch brought competing offers to the table and had the home under contract within 24 hours, he furthermore had it closed on and cash in the bank within 2 weeks. I highly highly recommend Cripe Real Estate if you're considering listing your home.
03/01/2024

Mitch and Lynne went above and beyond during the sale of our home. They made the process painless and stress free. We felt we were in good hands from day one until our closing. Their use of technology, such as the web presence in showing our home made a huge difference in getting more views of the house. We have bought (2018), and now sold a home with Mitch & Lynne. We would strongly recommend the Cripe team!
01/26/2024

Mitch was in a word, awesome! As a realtor myself, I have high expectations, and Mitch delivered on those to perfection. Relocating to a new state can be challenging, but Mitch made the process as smooth and efficient as could be. He also moved mountains when issues arose that removed a lot of stress from both me and my husband. He did an excellent job negotiating on our behalf and exudes the dedication and passion of a trusted real estate professional. It was a pleasure having him by our side throughout the home buying process, and we are forever grateful.
09/29/2023

Mitch was wonderful to work with! The entire process of buying a house can seem daunting, especially for first time buyers like ourselves. But Mitch walked us through each phase with patience and knowledge. We are so grateful to have had him as our realtor!
07/11/2023

They are reliable and knowledgeable in real estate business. They are customer oriented.
02/12/2023

Mitch and Lynn have been a joy to work with for years.
10/30/2022

I have recommended Mitch several times to others. He is very knowledgeable and energetic. He understands the market very well. He has lots of experience and has helped me avoid making mistakes in several instances. He helped me end up with the perfect house for my family.
08/19/2022

Mitch went above and beyond to help me find my dream house!
07/28/2022

Great company and agent! Highly recommend and would use again and again. Lynne found this beautiful house for us as soon as it was listed and Mitch’s recommendations on how to win it with multiple offers from others was perfect and did the job! We are so lucky to have worked with this great team and grateful that it went smoothly and efficiently. What a wonderful experience working with talented and experienced people at this real estate office.
02/18/2022

Mitch exceeded all expectations in assisting us with the listing and sale of our home. I/we would highly recommend Mitch in the future.
12/09/2021

We closed our home with Mitch and then closed on our new house THE SAME DAY and everything went smooth as silk! No stress! We could not be pleased more with the results of how everything turned out! Thank you for making our dream come true! 5 stars!
09/22/2020

Mitch and his wife Lynne were beyond helpful! They made our first home buying experience a breeze! We will be recommending them to friends and family and will work with them again should we move! Thanks again Mitch! :)
04/23/2020

Mitch and his wife were fantastic from start to finish in helping us sell our home. Would definitely recommend Mitch to anyone in need of professional representation in a real estate transaction.
03/06/2020

I can't recommend Mitch enough, from the prompt communications to the spot on knowledge of the market in the area to the above and beyond the sale relationship. Quite often help and advice on matters outside real estate made his input incredibly valuable. Do your family a favor, trust the experience and knowledge he has to offer. One of the smartest decisions I've ever made.
12/24/2019

Mitch and Lynn have helped us sell and move twice (once from California). They are very knowledgeable and kept us informed every step of the way. We enjoy working with them, and look forward to future opportunities.
02/14/2018

We were extremely pleased to work with both Mitch & Lynne Cripe when purchasing our Condo. They both exhibit a high level of Real Estate knowledge & enthusiasm. They responded to our questions or concerns very quickly and never pressured us with sales pitches. Mitch always did his homework on what was a good offer, he never tried to get us to over pay. This made us very comfortable working with them, especially when the market was booming. We always felt Mitch & Lynne was working with us not just for us. We wished Mitch & Lynne would have listed our house that we sold. Thanks Mitch & Lynne.
02/03/2018

Mitch was so helpful and insightful along the process of finding and purchasing my first home. He listened to my needs and found several options in the various target areas I provided him. Mitch educated me on what to look out for when touring homes and also provided insights relating to the utilities/features of various homes we toured before I found my ideal fit. As a first time buyer there were many things I didn't know to look for in each home and Mitch made sure to educate me on what to lookout for when touring homes. Mitch is very honest and upfront and treats you like you are family. I would highly recommend working with Mitch and look forward to working with him again when the time comes.
01/25/2018

Mitch and Lynn are a great team. Our family has used them for many years for our realistate needs. We recommend them to everyone we know looking to buy or sell a home!
01/18/2018

Mitch is an awesome Realtor to work with! Very responsive and negotiated an awesome price on our first new build. Full of integrity!
01/17/2018

We have purchased and sold a couple of homes with Mitch, and he has always been a pleasure to work with. Mitch never left any questions unanswered and is always quick to respond. Thank you Mitch for your assistance throughout the years, and we look forward to working with you again in the future!
01/16/2018

You were great to work with and very friendly/informative!
08/22/2017

Mitch is a great realtor and helped us find our DREAM home! We would recommend Mitch to all of our friends who are looking to buy or sell a home.
