About Jerry
I have lived in SW Michigan and the Kalamazoo area since 1965, when I came to attend Western Michigan University. I began my real estate career in October of 2012, after working in the business and production sector for 30 years. As part of The Ron Ekema Team at RE/MAX Advantage, I work very closely with buyers and sellers to help educate them in every aspect of the buying/selling process. My mission is to serve buyers and and sellers to help them with the smoothest transaction during one of the largest events of their lives, and to have a good working relationship with other Realtors in order to make that happen.

Outstanding & Streamline Results

Outstanding & Streamline Results

Ron & his team were so easy to work with; overall an amazing experience. Through each step of the selling process they made sure I was well informed with all my options to get me the best deal possible within a efficient amount of time. They answered all my questions and were very easy to reach- ready to assist whenever I needed. Within a week of home being on the market I had my house come with quite a few offers. After my home a month of being on the market it was no longer mine. I had offers come in and the process to sell got me out of the home quickly. When I was stressed to move, Ron & his team made this an easy and comforting experience ready to assist. I highly recommend using Ron for any realtor needs!

EXCELLENT!

Ron and his lovely wife, Tammy were ALWAYS ready to answer any question for us with professionalism. They always responded very quickly which was so greatly appreciated. Selling or buying a house is so very stressful. We wouldn’t have been able to get through this stressful time without them! If anyone ever needs a realtor, that’s who we will refer them to!!
