ASHLEY DIETCH-SCHAEFER
Hello! I’m Ashley, Broker/Owner of Hello Homes GR. After being a licensed Realtor for 7 years in other firms, I decided it was time to open my own! Hello Homes GR embodies what I believe in for life and work; passion, culture, honesty, transparency, unwavering ethics, attention to detail and, of course, fun! My clients know that I am always available for them and their needs are my top priority. I take pride in leading a brokerage that excels in superior market knowledge, timely and effective communication, industry involvement, creative problem solving, being well-connected, and perhaps most importantly, well-respected. In addition to owning and operating Hello Homes GR, I have the honor of sitting on numerous local, state, and national committees to stay up-to-date on current events and issues and to be a frontline leader and voice for all. Aside from all that, my greatest honor is being a wife and mother! I would be truly humbled to help you navigate the real estate world and I look forward to working together!

TAYLOR SCHUMACHER
Hello! I’m Taylor, a Realtor with Hello Homes GR. I have been in the Real Estate industry since 2020, and it has been the best and most rewarding career change! I had been in the Interior Design industry for 7 years, and I decided this would be a great step forward for me to help others find their dream home and to use my degree in the process! Buying and selling a home are some of the biggest decisions and changes you can make in your life, so I believe it is very important to make sure my clients are well educated, always comfortable in every situation, and to make sure it’s as stressless as possible. It truly is an honor to be able to help every client throughout this process!
I was born and raised in Lowell, MI, and have been living in Grand Rapids since 2013. I love the atmosphere Grand Rapids has to give, and I am excited for the years to come! In my free time, I love going on walks with my dog, hanging out with my husband and daughter, trying out new restaurants, going up to the lake, and enjoying time with family and friends. I look forward to helping others and helping you find your new home!

KARA KASPER
Hello! I’m Kara Kasper. I grew up in the great state of Ohio, then moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan where I attended college and met my husband, Adam. In 2009, we moved to Idaho, where Adam began work as a pastor. Recently, my husband got a job at a church in Grand Rapids, so we moved our family across the country back to the Midwest to start something new. We lived in Boise for 12 years and I began my real estate career there where it was one of the fastest growing markets in the country, so I am confident that the experiences I had there will translate well to the West Michigan market. With a background in corporate marketing and a passion for working with people, being a Realtor is perfect fit for me. I love working with both buyers and sellers and feel my skill set can be a great benefit to both. I have worked with a variety of buyers and sellers, everything from first time home buyers to new construction of a forever home to investment properties… I love that every transaction in real estate is unique and different! Real estate transactions are typically of the biggest events in someone’s life, and I am honored every time someone chooses me to help
them in that endeavor. I am a determined, hard-working individual and hope
to use these qualities to serve you well should you hire me as your agent. I
look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
