Colin Kraay is a self-appointed West Michigan goodwill ambassador. Born and raised in the greater Grand Rapids area, educated at Calvin College and now principal at Colliers International | West Michigan, Colin gets what clients need when they’re buying and selling real estate on the west side of the state. Even further, he intensely believes West Michigan is a sure bet when it comes to investing in a community.

After 13 years in commercial real estate, Colin estimates he’s been involved in more than $500 million of real estate transactions both as an individual investor and a real estate advisor for buyers and sellers around the country. Colin’s projects include industrial and office net leased transactions, retail strip centers and multi-family and senior housing.

“I like real estate because it’s tangible,” Colin states. “You can feel it. You can touch it. I also enjoy working with people and providing them with services they need. I’m fortunate because I get to work on projects of all scopes and sizes that cross all property types and range of clients.”
