Smooth Real Estate Transactions
There have been many changes to the real estate business in the last couple of years. But, the most jarring change and the one that affects all buyers and sellers of real estate is the increasing complexity of the transaction. Finding the perfect home or parcel of land, or even selling your home, is not the necessarily the hardest part anymore. Navigating the transaction, working with lenders, underwriters, lawyers, insurers, and appraisers is an area in which an experienced agent and your brokerage can provide some needed expertise. The reality is that the real estate transaction will get more daunting, not less, over the next several years. With that in mind, Jaqua Realtors has made significant investments to bring many of these independent elements of the real estate transaction in house; under one roof.
Summit National Mortgage, an affliate of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, is now part of Jaqua Realtors. Summit National brings the strength of one of the nation's largest home mortgage lenders, Well Fargo, to the Jaqua family of businesses. Additionally, Jaqua Realtors has collaborated with Chicago Title, a leading national title insurance company, to create Southwest Michigan Title. Southwest Title operates out of all of Jaqua's office and provides title insurance and real estate closing services. Our most recent addition to the Jaqua Realtors group of affliated businesses is Arcadia Insurance. Arcadia is an independent insurance agency offering a full line of homeowners', car, boat, life and health insurance to our clients.
Corporate Relocation
Jaqua Realtors is also part of the largest corporate relocation network in the United States. As a leader in the real estate community, we provide relocation services for individuals, families and corporate transferees. Jaqua Realtors comprehensive Relocation Division is called upon by area corporations and national relocation companies to ensure the transition of their employees is handled with the utmost professionalism. We concentrate on assisting with all aspects of acclimating job candidates, new employees and transferees to the community.
Jaqua Property Management
In its on-going commitment to full service, Jaqua Realtors is the only real estate brokerage in the region with a full time Property Management division. This unit was created to service the growing demand from our relocating corporate clientele, and individuals looking for housing alternatives. Jaqua's Rental Division offers single-family homes, condos, and duplexes for lease.
In addition to long-term property management, Jaqua Realtors is a leader in southwest Michigan and Lake Michigan vacation rentals.
