Testimonials
"
From the start to the finish Laura and her team were on it. The same day I contacted them she went to look at my property to give me her opinion. I liked her confidence in selling my place so I pulled the trigger and signed up. Her assistant was all over getting documents put together for signing. I believe Laura had confidence in me as well by ordering professional pictures before all docs were signed. I was very impressed how fast they had my property listed on the MLS!
Due to the nature of the property and more so, my jealous and self serving neighbors trying to sabotage my sale, offers were not coming in like we had anticipated. Laura wasn’t quick to suggest lowering the price. When she did however, I found the timing and amount to be appropriate. At no point did I feel rushed by her so she could be off to the next sale. We did end up finding a buyer! :-) Closing was a long arduous task but had nothing to do with the Ensley team. My land contract holder was very difficult to work with along with her so called financial advisor who only communicates via snail mail. That’s right, no email or faxing and doesn’t even put his phone number out there easily. Hard to believe in the twenty first century a “professional “ conducts business like this:-) Shannon with team Ensley along with Sara from Chicago title persevered through the closing despite the difficulties caused from my land contract holder and her “professional “. Nice job ladies!
High five to Laura and put another win up on the board for Team Ensley!

She was quick to respond right from the first contact when I was looking for a new house. Very knowledgeable and quick with helping me prepare my house for selling. And selling in less than 10 days. Wonderful company to work with and would highly recommend using Laura and her team. Could not be happier

Laura and The Ensley Team are outstanding!!!
Our initial plan was to sell our home and build near water. Therefore, we started to seek out lakefront property, potential builders and floor plans. To our dismay, it became overwhelming, all the good builders were booked until next spring, and we just couldn’t wait that long. We love to procrastinate.....but we hate to wait!
The frustration was setting in, and our plans appeared unattainable. That is, until we called on a property listed with Laura and Five Star. Seriously, it was like hitting an easy button. Laura listed our home and we had a full price offer four days after she listed it. Best of all, we recently closed on our dream home, that was already built!
Bottom line, we will recommend Laura and her team to anyone interested in buying or selling a home:)

Laura helped me with several foreclosed homes! She did more leg work than I ever expected to try to get me where I wanted. Unfortunately, to no fault of hers, I was unable to purchase. I will however use her services when my credit is back up!!

it has been a pleasure!

The Ensley team work very hard to sell our home. The team made sure my husband and I where included in everything. We live in one state and where selling a home in another state. Not as easy as one would think. The Ensley team took that challenge and made the sale happen. Thank you everyone.

I loved working with Laura and Pat Ensley. They sold our house and the whole process was completely effortless with zero stress. Laura is a joy to work with. She is one of the most real and down to earth people I know. I love supporting local businesses and those invested in our community. If you are looking to buy or sell in the Cedar Springs or surrounding areas you can’t go wrong with the Ensley’s!

Laura and her team were amazing!! They are knowledgeable, thorough and have excellent customer service. When I inquired about a house Laura called me right away. She was flexible with her availability to meet our needs and when things needed to move quickly she gets things done. She has multiple trustworthy resources to make the process of buying a house seem-less and easy.

"This is my second time using Laura and Pat. They are exactly what real estate agents should be. I have so many friends who tell me horror stories of not being able to sell their homes, or they have had to do a bunch of work themselves for the sale of their home- my first response is you must not have a very good agent, mine handles all of that. They have made the selling of my home as simple and pain-free as possible and sold my house in one day for over asking price. They also helped me to purchase a home a few years back when I had limited time to find one. Most of all, they actually cared about me and helping me find the right solution for my situation. I won’t use anyone else."

My husband and I had the BEST experience working with Laura Ensley and her staff. Everyone is so friendly and they treat you just like family. My husband and I have complete opposite tastes in homes and Laura was able to find us the perfect home. She was dedicated to making sure we found our forever home. She was very patient with us and would respond to text or phone calls immediately. If you are looking to purchase a home, the Ensley Team is the way to go!!

The Ensley Team did a remarkable job helping us prepare our home for sale, and work through the process of offers, acceptance, and closing. They went to bat all over the county helping this first-time home-shopper hone in on just exactly what we really wanted. Across many showings they helped us understand our options, recognize possible issues, and weigh the pros and cons. Laura and Pat are extremely patient, wildy passionate, and powerfully influential when it matters most. I proudly recommend them and their entire team for both your selling and buying needs.

Where do we begin?
Laura Ensley and her entire team made selling our home incredibly enjoyable and no stress! You will feel taken care of by everyone on their team.
The team employs the most talented and profoundly amazing photographer, Julia Thomas, who was able to express our home beautifully through her photos. She captures the feeling of being "home".
Compare...pull up photos of homes of other realtor listings and compare to the Ensley listings, there is no comparison!!! The photos are professional and absolutely stunning.
Afterall, aren't the photos the first thing you look at before deciding to even consider looking at a home?
The financial part of selling a home and the negotiating back and forth was all a breeze. The Ensley team is very knowledgeable in what they do and they are the best!
We highly recommend them to our friends and family and would hire no other team but the Ensley team!!
If you want your home sold or are thinking of buying a home, or both, please contact the Ensley team. It will be one of the best decisions you've ever made.

From the time we decided to sell we knew we were going to use this team. Laura personally visited our home to help us with what we should do to get our maximum return. We did everything she suggested and we had an offer within a week of listing. The peace of mind that comes with using this team is unbeatable. Thank you Ensley team!

I wish I could rank her 6 or 7 or more stars! Laura not only sold our house for over asking but also over the appraisal value. She is amazing and knows the market and the areas people are looking. Highly recommend her and her team for any home buying or selling transaction!

Laura has worked and lived in the Cedar Springs area for many years. When my husband and I decided we we're ready to sell and buy a new home we knew The Ensley's we're the team for us. I had never heard a negative thing about them. Our realtor team made the process of buying and selling go smoothly. Everyone was kind and helpful. You can't go wrong with The Ensley's

About Laura Ensley
The thrill of the deal and the strong relationships they develop with their clients, keeps Laura and Patrick Ensley in love with real estate. As one of the top power couples in the real estate industry they are a force to be reckoned with at the bargaining table. Laura and Patrick are incredible negotiators and are geniuses when it comes to navigating the home buying and selling process. Their greatest reward is getting their clients the best deal possible. “Negotiating deals is in our blood, it’s what makes us tick.”Laura’s first taste of real estate came at just 18 years old, when she met Patrick who at the time was a custom home builder. The two of them started a business venture together flipping homes and that’s about the time they both fell in love with real estate. Patrick had always enjoyed being on the building side of the business until he saw how much fun his wife was having interacting with clients. From that point on, they formed a real estate team and never looked back.
Patrick and Laura have earned a reputation within the industry as one of the hardest working teams. They are 100% dedicated to their clients’ needs and wants. Most clients become good friends with the Ensleys, a testament to their genuine and honest approach to business.
As much passion as Patrick and Laura have for their work, they have equally the same passion for giving back to the local community. One of the charities nearest and dearest to their hearts Is The Best Prom Ever , a charity that puts on an annual Prom for special needs children.
Laura and Patrick love every season Michigan has to offer and their home in Charlevoix provides the perfect setting to enjoy every outdoor activity their hearts desire. You can often find the Ensley family with friends jet skiing, boating, golfing or just soaking up the Michigan sun. Laura grew up in Greenville and Cedar Springs while Patrick grew up in Sand Lake, they currently call Cedar Springs home. They enjoy the small town feel and more than anything, they revel in knowing all the familiar faces as they stroll through town. The Ensleys absolutely love West Michigan and are passionate about selling the great life style the state has to offer.
