A Sunday in Grand Rapids

Meet Nate
I came back to Michigan for community. Real estate is how I build it.
I spent a couple of years in Maine during COVID, and it taught me the difference between knowing people and having community. I knew people — but community is something more: feeling connected, integrated, fulfilled in your relationships. So when I moved back to Michigan, I went looking for exactly that, and found it in an unexpected place: a real estate meetup. I fell in love with the work almost immediately, because it was everything I care about in one job — people, relationships, and this place.
It’s also where my graduate degrees in public health and public policy from the University of Michigan finally got to work together: helping people find the ideal home and working toward housing that makes our community healthier. Whether it’s your first house or your fifth investment property, you get all of me — asking the right questions, giving honest answers, and building a relationship that lasts well past closing day.

Get in touch →How I work
Here’s what investing in you actually looks like.
01
Asking the right questions
Comps, inspection history, zoning, what the neighborhood data really says — I dig before you decide, and I'll raise the questions you didn't know to ask.
02
Giving honest answers
If the house is wrong, I'll say so. If waiting is the smarter move, I'll tell you that too. My advice is aimed at your outcome — not my commission.
03
Building relationships that last
Closing day is the starting line, not the finish. Market check-ins, honest answers years later, a call whenever you need one — that's the deal.
Listings, showings, and the full search live on my Cygnus Real Estate page. This is where the thinking lives.
