ERA Real Estate President Alex Vidal joined ERA Reardon Realty Great Lakes agents to celebrate the grand renaming and opening event on Aug. 6.
ERA Reardon Realty Great Lakes expands in Comstock Park ERA Reardon Realty Great Lakes has taken over the entire two-story building at 3934 West River Drive. The former Midwest Properties ERA Powered changed its name and moved from its Belmont location to Comstock Park in June 2024. Jamie Sauline, director of operations for ERA Reardon Realty, said the name change reflects the strong partnership with Midwest Properties and ERA Reardon Realty and notes ERA Reardon Realty is the #1 ERA office in Michigan. Broker/ Owner Rick Reardon bought into Midwest Properties a company that has been in the Comstock Park area since 2003. He has been in the real estate business since 1991. ERA Reardon Realty is one of eight Michigan locations with about 50 agents who service an area from Lowell to the lakeshore, north to Big Rapids and south to just north of Kalam-
azoo. ERA Reardon Realty is also currently looking for more realtors Community is important to ERA Reardon Great Lakes. “Our big goal is more community involvement. We’ll have the opportunity to host events such as buyers and sellers’ seminars and educational seminars especially for the younger generation,” Sauline said. “We want to get to know people around the community and see where we can help out.” Sauline has been with the company 12 years and works in accounts payable and receivables, marketing, and serves as an event coordinator as well a “therapist” to help home buyers and sellers navigate the market. Sauline currently serves on the Alpine Township Planning Commission. Sauline and her husband Mark Sauline Jr. live in Comstock Park and their three children are the third generation
from Comstock Park. Although her children have graduated from high school, Sauline stays involved in high school athletics and recently led the Comstock Park Athletic Boosters Cash Bash in February. Strong Local Market Sauline describes the current real estate environment as a “roller coaster” although still very strong in the Grand Rapids area. “It’s been upside down from normal since COVID. It’s still a strong market especially for sellers who are still getting multiple offers,” Sauline said. She noted that Comstock Park is still very strong although there is low inventory. She said that nationally the Grand Rapids area is becoming known as a tech city and makes Top 10 lists on the best places to live.
