KENDRA havemeier

By Robbyn Moore Photos by Jacob Harr with harr Creative LLC

Finding Her Sole Purpose in Real Estate

10 • October 2021

@realproducers

B

efore launching into a very successful real estate career, Kendra Havemeier was putting her best foot forward and breaking sales goals selling footwear for ALDO Shoes. An extremely self-driven and passionate person, Kendra is caring and attentive toward her customers, leading her to earn elite club-level awards across the country, winning a cruise and a meeting with company founder Aldo Bensadoun. Her savvy skills secured a promotion for her to a flagship store in Chicago, which threw her into real-world experiences and created a stronger level of independence, and

realproducersmag.com

ultimately, shaped her for a future she had yet to discover in real estate.

As successful as she was at making strides within the shoe industry, Kendra wanted to use her talents in a bigger way and sell something that had a greater impact on the lives of others.

“I would chat about having bigger goals and dreams for myself with a good friend from the store,” she recalled.

“We both worked much more than 40 hours a week and felt we didn’t get paid our worth. One day we started discussing the idea of real estate, and that night, I did a ton of research and decided the next day, ‘I’m in!’”

In August 2014, while still working at ALDO, Kendra obtained her real estate license and began her real estate journey with Bellabay Realty Group — Grand Rapids. She continued working both jobs until she received her first paycheck, which wasn’t for six months. Three years later, Kendra acquired her broker’s license.

“I am so thankful for my Bellabay family, who pushed me to go far and to see my strength as a real estate agent and as a mentor,” Kendra said.

In 2015, Kendra was Bellabay Realty’s Rookie of the Year. In 2016, she was

Grand Rapids Real Producers • 11

a Greater Regional Association of REALTORS® Leadership Academy (GRARLA) graduate, and by 2017, Kendra was awarded Bellabay Realty’s Top Individual Sales. In 2018, she earned Bellabay Realty’s Top Individual Sales award, followed by achieving Bellabay Realty’s Top Three Individual Sales and Top Listing Agent in 2019 and 2020. Kendra has also served as the vice president and chairperson of the Greater Regional Alliance of REALTORS® Young Professionals Network and secretary for West Michigan Women’s Council of REALTORS®.

Kendra is currently an associate broker/partner with Michael Balsitis at

12 • October 2021

Bellabay Realty — Grand Rapids. They have a team of 23 agents and 10 others within their lead program. “What I think is really unique about our lead program is that it offers great opportunities for new agents to get out there and meet buyers who want to purchase a home,” Kendra shared. “The goal of this program is to have a group of agents who cheer each other on and help each other along the way.”

Kendra also leads the team’s biweekly accountability meetings to review and discuss issues in the industry so that agents can serve their clients better. “I am very passionate about cultivating our team and identifying growth opportunities for agents

within the company,” Kendra said. “I am also eager to add more agents to our group, and through our training programs, equip them with all the necessary tools for a great start to their career.”

Kendra typically sells 50-60 houses a year in addition to the 60-70 houses she sells through her lead program. Her straightforward business approach is results-driven and filled with a fun and engaging environment.

“Real estate should be a simple process that doesn’t need to be overcomplicated,” Kendra said. “In addition to finding solutions that will grow my agent’s business, I am all about simplifying the process for my clients.

@realproducers

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY BELLABAY FAMILY, who pushed me to go far and to see my strength as a real estate agent and as a mentor.

My tagline is ‘explore the simple side of buying and selling,’ and I can honestly say I live by those words.”

While Kendra was growing up, her parents were shining examples of hard work and determination; they taught her the value of goal-setting and to chase after her passions in life. These fundamental tools have helped Kendra along her pathway to success, but she admitted that

her biggest challenge is dealing with failure, especially in competitive real estate markets. “There are definitely going to be letdowns and rejections,” Kendra explained. “But I always tell myself — and my buyers — to simply learn from the experience and to move on to the next one.”

Nearly two years ago, Kendra’s husband, Mike, got his real estate license to focus on flipping homes.

“Together, we share our love for real estate,” Kendra said. “I find the house, he flips it, then I sell it — it’s a great team effort.” When the couple isn’t working, they enjoy hiking, kayaking and swimming. They also find time to hang out with their Shih Tzu named Bitsy, as well as boating and entertaining with friends and family.

Kendra defines success as discovering her “why” and living with passion every day. She often tells her new agents to be patient, find a champion in mentors and advisors, and never give up. “Hard work pays off, and smart work pays dividends,” she said. “I’m always stressing to others to not overthink everything and to make solid connections with experts in their respective professions — that’s the key to offering the best client service.”

Because Kendra loves all the different avenues that real estate offers, she has a wide range of plans for the future. “I want to grow our lead programs to help newer agents, and to add multiple offices and expand current offices. I’d also like to own a few Airbnbs and to continue helping my husband develop his flipping business with more investment properties.”

From selling shoes to selling homes, Kendra has never shied away from tackling a challenge. “To achieve great things, you have to believe in yourself,” she said. “And if you take calculated risks, you will go far!”

Real Estate Made Beautiful by a Team of Skilled Creatives

Owner & Photographer

able to provide work for other photographers is very rewarding for me.

Why did you choose to pursue a career as a photographer?

What is your funniest or most bizarre photo shoot experience?

JACOB

Photography always interested me, especially after I bought my first camera — a Pentax K110D — at the age of 16. I couldn’t put it down!

With the encouragement of a brother, I turned my hobby into a business. I’m grateful that my work is something I enjoy.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

Finding work in the creative fields isn’t easy. Being 16 • October 2021

I once went into a house that was supposed to be empty for the day. After ringing the doorbell and knocking, I used the key from the lockbox to open the door. Upon entering, I said “Hello.

Photographer!” just in case someone was home but hadn’t come to the door. I was greeted with a friendly “Hello!” in reply. I was confused because the homeowners were supposed to be gone, and the voice sounded odd. After a couple of hellos back and @realproducers

forth, I went upstairs to the living room and was greeted by the cheerful face of the homeowners’ pet parrot.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

It’s been such a joy getting to experience something so meaningful to the homeowners and being a storyteller behind the lens.

What do you do to stay grounded/centered/sane?

Spending time with my family, friends and church.

TYLER Photographer Why did you choose to pursue a career as a photographer?

With a background in the creative field, I found myself wanting to pursue something different. Coincidentally at that time, I also met Jacob Harr. Proper timing is my answer.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

Receiving feedback from the people I help. There are few things as satisfying as knowing my time and effort were genuinely appreciated.

What is your funniest or most bizarre photo shoot experience?

A few months back, I was taking pictures at a home and the agent was there helping to move things out of the way. We got to one room and realized there was a bunny cage we had to move. As soon as we lifted it up, the bunny escaped, and we spent like 15 minutes trying to catch this thing. What made it even more funny is that I had just asked the agent about her crazy real estate stories, and we could not stop laughing over this bunny on the loose.

When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?

If I’m not outside enjoying the beach and the warm weather or going on hikes, you’ll always find me at Starbucks — I have a serious iced coffee addiction.

DAKOTA Photographer

What is your funniest or most bizarre photoshoot experience?

It’s tough omitting so many unique stories. Earlier this spring I was fortunate enough to take a step back in time by photographing a 1960 Cadillac Coupe DeVille parked in front of a gorgeous mid-century modern home. To me, that was quite bizarre.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

The most rewarding aspect of my job is getting to meet a lot of people and hearing interesting stories and memories that were made in the house.

When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?

How would you describe your photography style? What inspires you?

When I’m not working, I’m very active. I like to play tennis and work out. I also enjoy cooking and going to the beach.

Calculated. Candid. A yin-yang experience. Seeking a story inspires me.

JACKSON Photographer

What is one thing about you that others might find surprising or interesting?

I have an absurd love for my hydrangea.

When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?

Before work, I love sitting on my porch with my cat and a cup of coffee. For better or worse, I enjoy my home teaching me new lessons. I also adore spending time with my family.

MORGAN

Why did you choose to pursue a career as a photographer?

I have been fascinated by photography since a middle school pinhole camera project. I chose photography because I love to make beautiful images and I don’t draw well, so creating art with photography works for me.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

Meeting new people, hearing their stories and playing a very small role in a big event in their life.

Photographer What is your funniest or most bizarre photo shoot experience?

Why did you choose to pursue a career as a photographer?

I found my passion for photography at an art camp in sixth grade. I remember we could choose multiple different art classes to try out and that was one of them. After that, I couldn’t put a camera down.

realproducersmag.com

Having a real estate agent knock on a window while I was photographing in a vacant house. I haven’t jumped that high or quickly since I was 17!

How would you describe your photography style?

What inspires you?

Documentary with an artistic flair. I’m inspired by people, colors, and structural lines and shapes.

Grand Rapids Real Producers • 17

What is one thing about you that others might find surprising or interesting?

I swam across Little Traverse Bay from Petoskey to Harbor Springs.

What do you do to stay grounded/centered/sane?

Landscaping and gardening.

CAEDY Photographer Why did you choose to pursue a career as a photographer?

I’ve always loved all forms of creative expression. When I graduated high school, my parents gave me my first nice camera, so I decided to take a class to learn how to use it. I immediately fell in love with photography and have been exploring the photo world since then.

How would you describe your photography style?

What inspires you?

Photojournalistic and funky. I’m inspired by interesting light, in-between moments and Wes Anderson compositions.

What do you do to stay grounded/centered/sane?

I feel most at home in nature — Lake Michigan beaches are my happy place.

When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?

I love reading, backpacking, dancing and anything that brings me in contact with beautiful places or delightful people.

What do you do to stay grounded/centered/sane?

I tell myself life is too short to be stressed, take deep breaths and listen to music.

When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?

Camping, trail riding and crafting.

KAT Administrative Assistant How did you end up in the photography industry?

I fell into this position through a friend of mine. Growing up, I’ve always loved photography, and now I get to work indirectly in the industry as an administrative assistant.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

JEN Manager What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

Working with agents and homeowners to help them feel at ease during a stressful time.

What do you do to stay grounded/centered/sane?

Spend time with my family and cuddle with my dogs.

When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?

Spend time with my family and friends on my patio. I love baking!

RONDA Administrative Assistant What is one thing about you that others might find surprising or interesting?

My craftiness.

18 • October 2021

I love being able to go through the finished photos and double-checking to make sure everything is correct and looks amazing. It’s rewarding because I get to see all the work the photographers do throughout the day as well as all the different homes.

What is one thing about you that others might find surprising or interesting?

I have always been an animal lover — which is no surprise — but this past year, I have worked extensively on training dogs. It’s now become kind of a hobby in which I am growing in my experience and helping others with their pets. I’ve learned so much about dogs and have a whole new level of appreciation for them.

What do you do to stay grounded/centered/sane?

I like to meditate and do yoga. It helps me stay in the present and just chill.

When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?

I enjoy all things outdoors like hiking, fishing, kayaking, etc. I am always looking for a new adventure. @realproducers

SOCIAL event recap

Photos by Jacob Harr with harr Creative LLC

Our SUMMER SOCIAL revved up at GR Auto Gallery where top real estate agents and our Preferred Partners joined together to have some fun mixing and mingling in the expansive showroom of antique, classic and sports cars. Guests also enjoyed food and drinks as well as prizes provided by some of our partners.

“What I enjoyed most was meeting with other agents,” said Paul Leason from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “You deal with so many people and never actually meet them!”

$2.5 MILLION DONATED THIS YEAR TO HELP END MODERN-DAY SLAVERY.

Did you know there are more victims held against their will today than ever before? That’s why The N2 Company – the company behind this publication and 850+ others like it – is financially committed to end human trafficking.

FOR EVERY AD SALE WE MAKE, N2 DONATES ENOUGH MONEY TO FREE 2 SLAVES FROM CAPTIVITY. The average Fortune 500 company donates about 1% of their profits to charity. The N2 Company donates 2.6% of their gross revenue.

Thanks to the businesses within these pages, our Area Directors, and readers like you, we’re able to break the chains of this horrible reality.
