John is the best in his field. He teaches real estate courses and seminars on real estate because he loves what he does so much. He is someone who cares deeply about helping people through an enormous and often fraught change in their lives. John navigated us (with the best energy ever) through an interstate home purchase so that we could fulfill our dream of moving from AZ to MI, and he was there for us for every single step. I’m not a practiced reviewer and I’m not sure how deep to go into the weeds of the intricacies of our own personal home search/purchase experience but it was not a straightforward one by any means. We are a family of four and we had to time the move with the selling of our own home in AZ (btw, John recommended and vetted for us the agent who successfully sold our old home in AZ while helping us to find our new one). All of this during a super erratic time in the housing market. John is also an amazing networker who is generous with sharing his contacts and connections. We purchased a home that needed renovations and are forever indebted to him for all the professionals he put us into contact with so that we could set things up from out of state. I cannot stress enough how Every. Single. Person. John connected us with sang his praises and shared some story or another of how he had helped them at some point. He is so well respected and well-loved in this industry it blew our minds. And obviously this speaks volumes to his character as a person and a professional. Our real-estate journey began with a family holiday to MI look at homes, John does his homework and knew everything about the homes beforehand. He was honest with us about each home we looked at with him and when we found the one we wanted he MADE IT HAPPEN. He is like the friendly uncle and friend who also happens to be a killer negotiator. This is an incredible combination of traits working in your favor. I have never been so grateful and felt so lucky to have someone on my team. We absolutely love him and he has become an honorary part of our family due to just being such a wonderful and inspiring person. Do yourself a favor and secure him for your team if you need someone to help you find a home for your family. You will be so, so happy that you did. Myself, my husband and two little boys will be forever grateful for his skill, knowledge, communication, energy, and just general awesomeness as an absolute expert in his field. We now get to live in our dream home because of him.

When I contacted Reinhart Company, I had already picked out John Tenza, of Reinhart Company, to be my realtor. John works with his wife, Linda, who is also a realtor. John and Linda staged my home and had offers on it above asking price in less than a week. The Reinhart Company also helped me find a realtor in the city I was moving to. They made sure I was happy with the realtor and realtor company they found for me in my new city. John and Linda kept me informed every step of the process and continued to make sure everything was ok after the sale of my home in Ann Arbor, MI. They have done a wonderful job for me.

I had to sell the agent on a higher sales price due to the facts of the sale from my neighbor the year before. But the agent insisted on their own computer model. I sold it $5,000 above the price I had suggested. I otherwise would have lost money.

We were referred to them by a coworker and they have been great. Our agent has been great. She is quick to get us into a house that is listed before it is sold.

My mother died suddenly of a heart attack, leaving me in charge of her estate. I had to make many decisions about her house and her home-based business in just a few short months after her death in order to minimize the costs (property taxes, utilities, etc.) for the family. Marygrace provided a great deal of advice regarding the real estate transactions, but also shared her wealth of knowledge regarding related business people, including appraisers, plumbers, roofers, and cement contractors. She held my hand throughout the entire difficult process. I was able to trust her completely at a time when others could have taken advantage of my grief and confusion. I am deeply grateful for her compassion and expertise. More recently (February 2011), Marygrace also gave me free advice regarding the appraisal of my own residence, helping me work with the bank on a refinance.
