The GR Business Breakfast promises to be a strong presence in the Greater Grand Rapids area for business networking and leadership development.
Birthed out of a desire to bring back a professional early morning format for Business Owners and Leaders, Gary Ball and Michelle Steffes began the early stages of forming GR Business Breakfast in July 2013.
The Purpose and Vision of this group is to offer a structured platform where business leaders can thrive in an environment of their own peers. As a team, we are striving to operate a highly organized and effective business group and offer business professionals an opportunity to develop their skills and create stronger connections through:
Elevators are available through the main entrance in the middle of the building.

In 1991, I chose Grand Rapids to be my home. I love it here and have never looked back.
But I learned some things when I bought my house in 2001. First of all, I learned that treating my home buyers and sellers as I would like to be treated is the underpinning of my work as your real estate agent. I added to this my 20+ years of sales experience and developed a philosophy for working with clients that lets me help you move smoothly through the negotiations of the buying and selling process.
My goal is premium customer service for my clients. This includes providing you with well researched Buyer’s and Seller’s Packages so that you are able to make the informed decisions that are right for you.
To assure your agent is always up to the minute on current trends and practices in real estate, I continually seek out sources of information and credentials. Consequently, I am an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR), a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and have earned the Graduate Realtor ® Institute’s GRI designation. The latter required 90+ credit hours of education. In January 2014, I earned my Associate Broker license.
On the personal side, I have experience as a volunteer police officer, and enjoy beading jewelry for myself and as gifts for friends and relatives. My idea of relaxing is to take a walk or curl up with a cat and a good book.
When you are ready to buy or sell a property, “Ask for Alix” and get ready for a great real estate experience!
