Bob and Lisa run The Novosad Team, LLC, a four-person group with annual sales over $10 million per year. They consistently rank in the top 5 of the market center's 160+ agents. Here is some background on the team so you can get to know them better. 

Bob Novosad 

"I teach Hunter Safety because it helps show children respect for nature, for private property and for God's creations. In class we show them what sportsmanship is all about, and why you need a personal code of ethics and honor when you are outdoors where no one is looking. Kids need to know how important even the smallest detail is to any undertaking, whether on the range, in the field, or making a major investment like buying a home." 

First licensed in 1994, Bob moved to Keller Williams in October 2000 to join its team of agent-partners. An Associate Broker, he has served as a member of the Agent Leadership Council (ALC), the policy making board for the 160-agent office. He has served on the Professional Standards and Residential MLS committees for the Grand Rapids Association of Realtors. Bob has earned the following designations: 

e-PRO --- Certified by the National Association of Realtors for providing high quality and innovative on-line real estate services. One of the only 31 in the Grand Rapids market out of 3,200 licensed Realtors

ABR ----- Accredited Buyers Representative from the National Association of REALTORS® for excellence in buyer agency. One of only 75 in the Grand Rapids market.

CRS ----- Certified Residential Specialist, held by only 2% of all REALTORS® nationwide. One of only 110 in the Grand Rapids market. 

He is married to his best-friend and sweetheart, Lisa, and has four children: Brian 29, Kevin 26, Alayna 20, and Derek 18. With the last child off to college (Derek is now a University of Kentucky Wildcat!), he and Lisa can spend more in community service while their real estate business continues to grow. 

Lisa Novosad 

"I enjoy teaching Project Charlie because it is a great way to interact with children at an impressionable stage in their lives. We tell them about what they will encounter once they get to high school -- or even junior high. If I can help steer one child away from the path to drug or alcohol abuse, it's worth every minute of my time in the classroom. I'm convinced not letting drugs and alcohol into their lives enables our children to make better choices and mature faster." 

Lisa Joined The Novosad Team in 2003 as a Realtor Associate. Her specialty on The Novosad Team is in working with relocating buyers, especially corporate executives transferring to the area. Lisa's goal is to help them and their families make smooth transitions while locating a home with solid re-sale value.  

Prior to real estate, Lisa had a 16-year career with Knoll Inc., one of the major players in West Michigan's contract office furniture industry. At Knoll, she specialized in project management and for seven years was the company's West Michigan sales representative. She also developed regional business with county, state and federal agencies and assisted Knoll dealers in building their businesses.  

Lisa is active in the Forest Hills Public School system including a Junior Achievement and Project Charlie Facilitator as well as a member of the Forest Hills Educational Foundation. Lisa and Bob belong to St. Robert of Newminster church in Ada where she has taught catechism and is currently a member of the Stewardship Committee. She enjoys reading, music (learning Irish step dancing is next on her list!) along with spending time with friends and family.
