About Your Realtor
Real Knowledge. Real Results.
I'm Kendrick Taylor, and I believe moving should be easier when you work with someone who truly understands homes.
Chapter One
From Criminal Justice
to a New Calling
I graduated from Ferris State University with a degree in criminal justice and worked for the Mecosta County Sheriff's Office. I loved serving my community, but a career-ending car accident changed everything. I had to find a new path — one that would allow me to continue helping people in a meaningful way.
Chapter Two
Discovering
Home Inspection
During a home inspection on a property I was interested in, the inspector offered me a job. I spent three years learning homes inside and out — foundations, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing. I became the person who could tell you what was really going on with a house, not just what it looked like on the surface.
Chapter Three
Why I Became
a Realtor
I saw too many agents who didn't understand the homes they were selling. Buyers were making huge decisions without real information. Sellers were leaving money on the table because they didn't know what to fix or highlight.
I knew I could do better — and help people make smarter, less stressful moves. That's why I became a realtor: to combine my inspection knowledge with a genuine desire to serve and guide people through one of life's biggest transitions.
Core Values
What Drives Me
Honesty
I'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. My goal is to help you make informed decisions, even if it means being the voice of caution.
Knowledge
My inspection background means you get insights most agents can't provide. I understand home systems, potential issues, and what repairs actually cost.
Service
Your goals come first. I'm here to guide, not pressure. Whether you're buying, selling, or just exploring, I'll meet you where you are.

Honest Assessments
I'll give you my professional opinion on properties and market conditions, even when it's not what you want to hear.
Inspection-Level Insights
During showings, I'll point out things most agents miss—from foundation concerns to HVAC issues to electrical red flags.
Patient Guidance
Especially for first-time buyers, I'll take the time to explain everything and make sure you feel confident in your decisions.
Smooth Coordination
For complex situations like estates, probate, or buy-sell transitions, I'll handle the details so you don't have to stress.
Follow-Up Support
Even after closing, I'm here if you need recommendations, advice, or just have questions about your home.
A Little More About Me
I'm based in Temperance, Michigan, and I'm grateful to serve the communities of Southeast Michigan and nearby Ohio. My faith and family keep me grounded, and I believe real estate is about more than transactions — it's about helping people move forward in life. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a family estate, or looking for hunting land, I'm here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
