Cindy Minnema: REALTOR

Cindy Minnema

I am married to a wonderful man. Hank is a Critical Care Paramedic with Life EMS and also on call 24/7 with the Michigan State Police and Walker Police as a member of their Special Response Team (SRT).

We share 3 children, Crystal 26, Shelby 18 and Dalton 14.

We are members of Brightside Church in Caledonia, Michigan.

We currently live in the Alger Heights area and love the togetherness of the neighbors. Most of the houses were built in the 1950's and have unique character. I love old houses. My dream house is a cabin in the woods, however I'm afraid that I will miss the hustle and bustle of the city. Maybe someday I will have both.

As a family we love to visit Lake Michigan at all times of the year, however my favorite time is during the summer months.

We love riding the White Pine Trail on our bikes. This trail extends from Riverside Park in Grand Rapids and currently you can ride all the way to Cadillac, Michigan. We have never gone that far. Usually we will ride to the City of Rockford for lunch and watch the activity on the river.

We really enjoy our family time traveling to different places around the U.S. Usually spring break week finds us lounging the beach of Anna Maria Island in Florida. However we have traveled to San Francisco, all over the East Coast and of course all over Michigan. My family roots are in Petoskey where my grandparents had a nice size farm with cattle and Arabian horses.

I love to read and especially love electronics. Look me up on Facebook, Linked In and Plaxo.

Personal Statement

I specialize in attentive honest service in all areas of Real Estate. I sell Real Estate anywhere in Michigan. With a medical background in geratric patients, I love to work with the Elderly in their downsizing needs. With a background in Management, Nursing and teaching, real estate is a perfect fit for me. I enjoy working with first time home buyers. Taking the stress out of the unknown and helping you to have fun in finding the right home, writing the offer, inspections, financing and attending your closing. I love to guide, manage and give 100% attentive service.
