Meet the Team

---

I’ve been lucky that I chose a career that has kept me loving what I do for over 25 years!  I take great pride & feel a sense of accomplishment each time we fulfill our client’s real estate needs.  I have been fortunate that past clients have referred me to their family & friends and they to theirs - the fact that they trust us enough to do so is truly a testament to the why of what I do. Not only do I get to meet new & interesting people from all walks of life, but I also get the benefit of working with my wife, Toni, and my son Ryan in a team atmosphere that really works together to make all of our transactions the best that they can be!  I love West Michigan, truly, everything about it, and have been here most of my life.  I’ve discovered so many things about it over the years in my real estate career, and I’m ready to share those insights and discoveries with you!  And, I can promise you, if I don’t know the answer, I will find a way to get it for you!  I look forward to meeting you!

Hi there!  I'm Toni Schaefer, and I'm the transaction coordinator & office administrator for The Schaefer Team.  I guess you would call me the "behind the scenes" gal who rarely gets seen but is often heard. That's my job - to get you to closing as smoothly and seamlessly as possible - and I like to believe that I've gotten pretty good at it over the years!  I've been working side by side with my husband Pat for over two decades and now with our son Ryan, and it's been a great journey - one that I look forward to every day!  I am proud to say that I work with my husband and son - obviously because I am biased and because they are two really cool guys who always want the best for every one of our clients!  I look forward to working with you!

I'm Ryan. The most important thing you need to know about me is that I love my family. My daughter, Kit, was born in March and is the greatest gift I've ever received. My favorite part of the day is seeing her joyous smile in the mornings. I also wouldn't be where I am without the support and patience from my wife, Julia. My passion for family seeps into my passion for families. My drive in this industry stems from a lifetime of working hard and helping others. I grew up asking questions and tagging along to meetings with my dad, so it is no surprise to me that this is what I am doing and where I am now. I am thankful for the opportunity to use our resources, time, and knowledge to bring clients true satisfaction every step of the way. I am hoping that my family continues to grow. Maybe our current home will remain ours...maybe we'll need to find a new home for our new needs. But I am not worried about that because, well, this is what I do. What does home look like for you? I want to know.
