Hello, my name is Don Rake!
I have decided to get into Real Estate because it has piqued my interest for years. My son, Connor Rake, recently became a Sales Agent helping family, friends, and the community buy and sell their homes and asked if I’d be interested in becoming a Sales Agent, so I did.
By day I am a Safety Professional for a small mechanical contracting company in West Michigan. By nights and weekends, I have many interests including spending time with my wife (Kris) and kids, golfing, taking vacations, and enjoying life by our pool. While our kids were growing up, I coached many sports including my favorite, Football. I even had the privilege of coaching our two boys while they played high school football and being on the coaching staff for 10 years.
Now I’m in my mid 55’s and looking for a new challenge. Real Estate seems to be the logical choice. In 2000 my father-in-law decided to help my wife and I build a house. We did all the work. The experience has left a lingering love of construction. Since that house my wife and I have built two additional homes. My sons and I work great together on projects ranging from completely remodeling our oldest son’s home to helping our youngest install new flooring in his home. We like to DIY. Taking on projects like basement remodels, landscaping, siding, etc. I believe all the experience from buying, selling, and building our own homes gives us a unique perspective to our future clients. We can help our clients make informed decisions on one of the biggest purchases they make in their life.
I am excited to see where this opportunity takes me. I am very much looking forward to the challenge.
