land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Kent County. East Grand Rapids’s 2.93 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every East Grand Rapids property in Lansing Loamy Plain?+

No. Lansing Loamy Plain is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The East Grand Rapids boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Grand Rapids as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 2.7 miles west of East Grand Rapids’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near East Grand Rapids?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
