TAYLOR CARDON
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!

DEVON HIGGINS
Hello! It’s me, Devon. I’m a business owner, entrepreneur, sports enthusiast, husband, father of two beautiful girls, and of course, a Realtor! I was born in Okemos, Michigan just outside of Lansing and moved to Grand Rapids when I was 5 years old. I grew up in Forest Hills and went to highschool at Forest Hills Central (go Rangers!) where I graduated in 2007. I then attended Michigan State University (Go Green!) where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business and Marketing with a minor in Entrepreneurship. After college I did a short stint in Chicago working for a logistics company before moving back to Grand Rapids to begin my career in marketing and opening up my own marketing agency.

Blake Crabb
Hi, I’m Blake, a proud Michigan native, GVSU graduate (Go Lakers!), and Realtor with Hello Homes GR. Over my 20+ year career in sales, leadership, and corporate training, I’ve built my reputation on keeping my clients front and center. Real estate is a passion of mine, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Years ago, I followed a professional opportunity to Southern California, where I fell in love with the fast-paced world of real estate. Navigating such a dynamic (and expensive!) market taught me invaluable lessons that I brought back to Michigan – where real estate opportunities are abundant and investment potential is endless.
Since returning to Grand Rapids, I’ve mastered the art of strategic real estate investment, from owning and holding vacant land to maximizing waterfront properties with short-term rental strategies. As a proud downtown condo owner, I also understand the unique lifestyle perks that come with urban living – no lawns to mow or snow to shovel, just endless opportunities to enjoy the vibrant city life!
Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading to your dream property, or diving into investment opportunities, I make it my mission to ensure your journey is smooth strategic, and stress-free. With personalized care, expert guidance, and clear communication, I’ll help you achieve your real estate goals.
Outside of Real Estate
When I’m not helping clients, you’ll find me exploring the beauty of Michigan’s four seasons. In the summer I’m soaking up the sun at the lake with my partner and our dogs, and in the winter, I’m hitting the ski slopes in Northern Michigan. My partner and I also love traveling – whether it’s discovering new places across the U.S. or venturing abroad.
I’m deeply passionate about cancer research and have proudly served on Van Andel Institute boards for over a decade. Having such an internationally recognized research institution in the heart of Grand Rapids is just one of the many reasons this city is so special.
Let’s Make Your Real Estate Dreams a Reality
Grand Rapids is thriving, and whether you’re looking for a downtown condo, a metro-area home, or an investment property, I’d be honored to be your trusted Realtor. Let’s turn your vision into reality – together!
