A West Michigan Residential Real Estate Company Specialists in Probate, Trustee, and Attorney-In-Fact Managed Real Estate
“No amount of talent, skill or charisma can sustain us the way that integrity, character and attitude does” Sidney Mohede
ExpectMoore Realty is a family owned residential real estate company with a Big Plus.
Between the two broker owners, we’ve been serving our amazing clients and friends for over three decades.
In 2006, a physical therapist friend asked if we could possibly help a family who had survived a major accident. Since a conservatorship was part of the equation, our entry into the world of probate court related real estate had begun, and it has been impacting our business and life purpose ever since.
“Done best, our business is equal parts competency and heart. If you know your stuff, are candid, yet gentle, and you genuinely care about what happens to others, everything will work out.”
We’re confident that the residential representation we provide to our clients is among the best in our profession. Our genuine concern is always for our client’s best interest and our standard is to provide the very best possible outcomes, while delivering an enjoyable and informative buying or selling experience. With hundreds of transactions under our belt, our ability to recognize potential issues is as sharp as our intuition is when it comes to negotiating the terms of a deal.
So what’s the Big Plus?…
Normally, having divided attention is not ideal. But, when it comes to acquiring an extensive knowledge base in real estate, few would argue that possessing this extra insight wouldn’t be of benefit.
The knowledge base we draw from today began the early 1980’s, first by developing a thorough understanding of property chain of title, sub-surface mineral ownership, and the acquisition of leasehold interests. Throughout the 1990’s, our tool box expanded to include broad based knowledge of retail and multi family commercial real estate, deep experience before many municipal planning, zoning and historic preservation boards, along with a solid understanding of property development. Over the last twenty years, these talent sets have been utilized to serve a growing number of fiduciary clients as they seek to maximize the value of real estate holdings for long term care needs, or to better serve the beneficiaries in the settlement an estate.
Regardless of a client’s particular need, our skill sets are far reaching. As always, our aim is to excel at personal relationships, help our clients make excellent decisions, and help families keep the peace through often stressful times.

Enhancing The Value of Real Property
As professionals with decades of wide ranging residential, commercial and appraisal experience, our tool box is extensive when it comes to determining the current (and future) value of a real property asset. While the valuation of some properties is straightforward, others hold the possibility to create what we refer to as “intellectual value”. Knowing how factors, such as future land use, highest and best use, availability of public utilities, possible financial incentives and zoning change possibilities can be used to significantly enhance a property’s current value, is key to understanding the true monetary potential of a property. Without considering all the possibilities, owners are left without the complete picture of what an asset’s potential true value Learn more about how properties are valued here.
