About Your Realtor
Real Knowledge. Real Service. Real Results.
I'm Kendrick Taylor, and I believe moving should be easier when you work with someone who truly understands homes.
From Criminal Justice to a New Calling
I graduated from Ferris State University with a degree in criminal justice and worked for the Mecosta County Sheriff's Office. I loved serving my community, but a career-ending car accident changed everything. I had to find a new path—one that would allow me to continue helping people in a meaningful way.
Discovering Home Inspection
During a home inspection on a property I was interested in, the inspector offered me a job. I spent three years learning homes inside and out—foundations, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing. I became the guy who could tell you what was really going on with a house, not just what it looked like on the surface.
Why I Became a Realtor
I saw too many agents who didn't understand the homes they were selling. Buyers were making huge decisions without real information. Sellers were leaving money on the table because they didn't know what to fix or highlight.
I knew I could do better—and help people make smarter, less stressful moves. That's why I became a realtor: to combine my inspection knowledge with a genuine desire to serve and guide people through one of life's biggest transitions.
