Meet Alicia Joustra
Alicia’s passion for real estate began in childhood, when she and her mom would visit model homes, dreaming about the design and features of each space and imagining the lives that could unfold within them. These early experiences instilled in her the belief that a home is more than just a building—it’s the backdrop for life’s most meaningful moments.
Outside of work, Alicia finds joy in exploring West Michigan’s lakeshore, shopping local, and trying new restaurants. Her Cavapoo-boo, Tootsie, is her shadow and she stays active with pilates, going for walks, and being outdoors!
Passionate about the community, Alicia loves spending time with organizations like Kids’ Food Basket and Gilda’s Club. She is also actively involved in the community through the Economic Club of Grand Rapids and the Chamber of Commerce.
At home, Alicia embraces her love of hosting, whether it’s a dinner night with friends or simply quiet moments spent listening to worship music and working on house projects. Her faith is the foundation of her life, and she is continually inspired by God’s goodness.

Alicia was extremely thoughtful, professional, and knowledgeable. She always had our best interest in mind and went above and beyond time and again. We originally planned to sell on our own, and I’m so glad we didn’t! Alicia made the process easy and got us much higher than asking.
home seller condominium
This is the second property we have purchased with Alicia's help! We were transferring in from another city; Not only is she very knowledgeable on the area real-estate market, she made us feel like we were her only client. We ended up going with a house under construction and Alicia acted as our personal project manager, kept us up to date and held the builder to his commitment!
