“Kippy was so kind, knowledgeable, and honest with us...”

We contacted Kippy to sell our home near Holland, and from the first walkthrough she was kind, approachable, and thorough. She was honest with us and gave us an accurate market assessment. She went out of her way during every step of the process and kept us updated constantly. She helped us find our dream home in the exact neighborhood we wanted. You cannot go wrong working with Kippy Ellis and Five Star Real Estate!

“We absolutely loved our experience with Kippy Ellis...”

It was obvious from our first meeting that Kippy is deeply knowledgeable about the West Michigan market. She guided us on pricing and marketing, and our home sold in record time with multiple offers over asking. She stayed in constant touch and made everything simple.

“Kippy made our relocation to Grand Rapids feel so easy...”

Relocating from out of state can be stressful, but Kippy spent hours on video calls walking us through neighborhoods, school districts, and lakeshore communities. When we visited, every showing was seamlessly organized. We love our new home!

“Kippy helped us navigate the first-time buyer process with patience and clarity...”

As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous and overwhelmed. Kippy walked us through every single step, explained options in plain English, and negotiated a great price and terms for us. We are forever grateful.

“She helped us sell our acreage in West Michigan faster than we thought possible...”

We had land in West Michigan and didn't know the best way to position it. Kippy came out, walked the property, evaluated comparable sales, and brought qualified buyers quickly. She treats every client like family.

“Kippy worked through a long list of interested buyers...”

Kippy Ellis sold our commercial property, and she earned every bit of the outcome. Commercial isn't a quick, easy sale — it takes patience and a realtor who keeps the momentum going. Kippy worked through a long list of interested buyers, coordinated showing after showing, and fielded several bids along the way without ever letting things stall. Her persistence paid off: we ended up with two offers on the same day and sold for over asking price. Communication was steady the whole way through, and she never let a lead go cold. If you're selling commercial property on the lakeshore, Kippy is who you want representing you.
