Customer Testimonials
“I have worked with Randy Bronkema at least 4-5 times – leases,
buying/selling, etc. I have never
worked with a better prepared or more knowledgeable real estate salesman in my
life. Very hard working, and very
comfortable in what he does. His company
should be proud to have Randy Bronkema represent them!”
Richard Bisbee, Owner - Bridge Electric
“Randy Bronkema is an exceptional professional, and I would use him again
for industrial real estate needs.”
Patricia Duthler, Member - Duthler Truck Center
"I worked with Randy
when we bought our new office building here in Grand Rapids.
I found him to be very knowledgeable of the industry and easy to work
with - great on the details. This
property had a number of problems, and Randy worked through them with the skill
that only a seasoned veteran could. Our
business is growing, and we have been involved in a number of real estate deals
around the country. We have found there
is a big difference in realtors. Pick
the wrong one, and the entire project can be a nightmare. Randy represents the best - a true
professional. I recommend him to anyone
looking for commercial or industrial real estate."
Ron Williams, President - Williams Form Engineering Corp.
“I have worked with Randy on one acquisition, two
dispositions, and three leases of property for my company and have found him to
be a great representative for us. He had
our best interests in mind while making each transaction flow smoothly. His persistence in getting accurate
information and getting the transaction closed was greatly appreciated.”
Doug Nagel, Owner - Hi-Tech Engineering, Inc.
“We had been looking for a building and land
in the area north of Grand Rapids
to relocate our operations. The
properties at 679 and 651 S State
Street were perfect if purchased together. One of the obstacles was that there were two
different owners of the properties we targeted.
The land was the most important aspect to the transaction because we
have a large outside storage need. Randy
did a fantastic job of helping us negotiate with the sellers of both
properties. His advice, attention to
detail, and quick responses made all the difference – we would be happy to work
with him again.”
Verne Cappell, Supervisor - Consumers' Energy ROW Acquisition, Title &
Zoning/Permitting
“…I want to
thank you for your help in completing this transaction. Your market knowledge and assistance in the
final negotiation were very beneficial to the process.”
Michael Litwin, Manager of Real Estate - Dayton's
“I have worked with Randy
Bronkema on several difficult real estate deals, and Randy has been able to
pull them together. Randy is the type of
broker who is not afraid to get his hands dirty. When you need to move your real estate and
you need a broker who will roll up his shirt sleeves and dig in and get it
done, Randy is the right person for the job.”
Bart Hamlin, Vice
President - Macatawa Bank
"Randy was referred to me prior to meeting him. My company has been growing, and he has
helped me with several leases as my agent.
He is always informative, detail oriented and knowledgeable of every
aspect of the transaction from start to finish, from site selection, proposal
presentation, negotiations, and finalization of all of the details. Every time I had an assignment, Randy jumped
on the opportunity to help me and was persistent to the end using his
professional experience to my company's benefit. Hiring Randy to work for you or your team, whether you are selling,
buying, or leasing, is to your advantage.
He is the best and will help you to make the best real estate
decisions."
David C.
Kuritar, President - Unified Title & Settlement
"My sons and I worked with Randy to find a 10,000 square foot
manufacturing facility. That particular
size in a freestanding building was a rare item. Randy has a system in place so that he could
notify us the same morning that the building went on the market. With Randy's help, we were able to move fast
and make an offer even before a realtor's sign went up. Randy was present with the listing agent when
the offer was made to the seller. Randy
feels it is in his client's best interest to see that there is no
miscommunication. Randy is a joy to work
with. He pays attention to details and
always follows up."
John
Becker, Partner - Consolidated Metal Products, Inc.
"Our
company's mission statement is 'ALTL -The best, as long as we serve,' and part
of our quality policy statement says that if a vendor offers the best value,
ALTL will create opportunities. Randy
came to us with a buyer who fit an opportunity in one of our facilities. The deal that emerged was a win for both
parties. The deal took four months and a
lot of patience to complete, but Randy's persistence and follow-up made it
happen."
Ross Luurtsema, President - ALTL, Inc.
"I have worked with Randy Bronkema on several office leases and have
found Randy to be an excellent representative for his clients. He does this by doing whatever is necessary
to truly understand his clients’ needs, by providing good solid advice, and
working for win-win situations, which in leasing is important as it is the
basis for a long term relationship.
Randy stays on top of the details and issues involved in a deal and
follows through not only 'till the deal is done, but afterwards. I can recommend Randy without hesitation to
anyone looking for a realtor to represent them in an office real estate
transaction."
Bill
Battjes, Vice President/Broker - Belfry Development Corporation
“Thank you
for your assistance in helping our client, Entergy Systems & Service, Inc.,
to reach its office objectives. Your
professionalism and prompt response has been appreciated very much by both Mike
Farien and me. If we can
ever be of help to you here in Dallas,
I hope you will give us a call. I will
certainly know who to turn to if another requirement comes up in your city….”
Tom Freeman, Office Properties Division - Grubb & Ellis
“We have worked
with Randy Bronkema on several instances.
When the US-131 expressway was closed down, my company decided to find a
branch location north of Grand Rapids. Suitable sites were scarce, but Randy worked
very hard, and we were able to find the perfect spot. He also provided valuable information when we
sold a building north of our location on Clyde Park Avenue.
I find him
to be very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I would
recommend him to anyone either selling or purchasing a commercial or industrial
real estate property. It’s a pleasure to
work with someone with his energy and enthusiasm.”
DickYoung - Behler-Young Company
“Just a
short note to tell you how pleased we are with the work you did for us. Much of the time it was like trying to sweep
water uphill – but you did get it all done – and kept everyone happy during the
process. Great job! We’re grateful.”
Jay Newhof
“Recently,
we had the pleasure of working with your company under the guidance of Randy
Bronkema. A few years ago, Randy was
referred to us by another satisfied client, and while we weren’t in a position
to sell just yet, Randy continued to keep in touch and advise us on what
improvements would complement the resale value of the property, while always
making himself available to address other questions as well.
Randy
displayed the utmost professionalism and expertise in administering the sale of
our property. He was very informative
and took full responsibility to see that our transaction was handled properly. We would
like to convey our thanks to you, your company, and especially Randy for the
fine service we received.”
Jamie May - Ameriprise
“A few
months ago, I entrusted your company to sell a property for me on Crofton Street, SE. Until recently it was occupied by Hill
Machinery Company which is owned and operated by my son, Don Vanden Bos
Jr. He has now relocated to a new 46,000
square foot building near the airport.
I had
never, before this endeavor, had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Mr. Bronkema in whose hands this project was placed. From the very first instant I was impressed
with Randy’s mannerisms. Recently, the
final signatures were affixed by both parties to consummate the sale of the Crofton Street
property.
I was so
impressed by the professional and courteous manner which Randy exhibited to me
in the last several months, I felt obliged to make you aware of my feelings.
Chances
are, I will not have any more commercial or industrial property to dispose of
or reasons to purchase same, but be assured that I will recommend Mr. Bronkema
most highly to anyone.”
Don Vanden Bos Sr.
“I had a conversation today with Dick Kuchnicki of
Philip Morris USA. He is very pleased
with the services provided by your company and Randy Bronkema. He stated more than once that he was glad I
had asked you to contact him. I thought
that you and Randy would like to know how pleased Dick is with him.”
John Bryan - Long
Development
“Thank you
for assisting me in the sale of my industrial property. I appreciate you r persistence in keeping the
sale on track, especially when the buyer became a little disinterested.
I will be
referring you to my friends when the need arises, and I will be contacting you
if I decide to relocate my business.”
Art Blackport, Owner - De Groot Moving &
Storage Co.
“A note of
appreciation for your prompt and professional response to our recent request
regarding Grand Rapids. I will keep you abreast of that situation,
and you will be our contact in Michigan
with further developments.”
Jim Craige, Real Estate Department - United
Refrigeration, Inc.
“…..Just to let you know that I very much appreciated
the fine work you did in getting us set up last March. We are very
happy with the space and with our involvement in West Michigan………We believe
that in the next five years, we will be a substantial player in the big West
Michigan game, and very likely will want to build ourselves…..When that time
comes, I look forward to working
with you again!”
Bob Hartin, CEO
“…Randy, I
really appreciate your working with me this whole time and being very patient
as this has been a very challenging period for us. Your knowledge and advising had been very
crucial and helpful to the decisions we have made up to this point….”
Shayne Eisenga - Natural Choice Foods
“I want to
thank you for the hard work you accomplished for PROCARE Landscape Management
Inc. Our company journey from July, 2007
to November, 2008 took many twists and turns.
It was good to explore all the possibilities and options available to my
company.
We are very
happy with our lease and future purchase of our facility and property at 675 Clyde Ct, Byron
Center MI 49315.
I would
highly recommend Randy Bronkema as a commercial/industrial real estate agent. He worked hard and always understood my
specific company need.”
Dirk Bakhuyzen, President - PROCARE

He is accessible, knowledgeable, and has an uncanny knack for matching
tenants/users with the space available.
Keep
up the good work!"
