We're Realtors and Builders. That's a major difference.
Buy Better.
Unlike typical real estate agents, our background in building and renovations gives us a keen eye for noticing the red flags that determine whether a home is a good fit...or a money pit. It's also how we specialize in helping to re-imagine a potential space to make it your own. Whether you prefer something that's move-in ready or you're interested in taking on a whole-home renovation, we'll help you find the right home and guide you from start to finish. We can even help with new construction.
Sell Better.
We're experienced, knowledgeable and trusted real estate experts who specialize in strategies to maximize a seller's take-home dollars anywhere in Suburban Detroit. More than 1000 sellers throughout Suburban Detroit already know that our sound advice and reasonable commissions got them top dollar no matter the season, the market, or the home's condition. And when it makes sense, we're able to tackle repairs or make some updates before you sell if it'll make you more money. Reach out to learn more.
Live Better.
From concept to completion, we're the guys who can bring your ideas to life. Whether you're planning to build a custom home, you want to update your kitchen or bathrooms, or you want to make big changes in the the way your home lives, we'll help you design and budget your project and then get it done. Styles and tastes change, and if you're like most people you live in a home that was built or decorated by someone else. It's about time you make your home fit your family and your lifestyle. Let's talk.
Meet the family.

Real estate is my life. And my passion.
I've sold more than 1000 homes throughout metro Detroit since 1999. I've bought, renovated and re-sold nearly 100 homes around southeast Michigan since 2007, and I've built several from the ground up, including my own personal residence in Commerce Township. (I'm a licensed broker

Real estate is my life. And my passion.
I've sold more than 1000 homes throughout metro Detroit since 1999. I've bought, renovated and re-sold nearly 100 homes around southeast Michigan since 2007, and I've built several from the ground up, including my own personal residence in Commerce Township. (I'm a licensed broker and a licensed builder, too). I'm also a published author on real estate related matters, an experienced arbitrator, and a current member of the risk reduction, professional standards and finance committees of the largest Realtor association in Michigan, GMAR.
My experience is further supported by earning these professional designations that benefit my clients: RENE-Real Estate Negotiation Expert, MRP-Military Relocation Professional, SRS-Seller Representative Specialist, ABR-Accredited Buyer Representative, SRES-Senior Real Estate Specialist, BPOR-Broker Price Opinion Resource, SFR-Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource.
Personally, I'm a Dad of three (plus dog) and a husband of 25+ years. Detroit sports fan (especially the Wings). Avid concert-goer. Popcorn junkie. Lifelong Michigander.

Fun fact: In the 1990’s I was a licensed real estate agent in New York City and worked to find homes for clients including music and fashion mogul Russell Simmons, and the late music great Luther Vandross! (Luther insisted I try his sugar free Gummy Bears.)
I’ve also been involved in the television and film industry for a good portion of my life. You may recall the Listerine commercial where the guy struggles to “swish” for 30 seconds. He has a lot less grey hair, but that was me! I’ve had the good fortune of appearing in over 100 commercials, and still dabble on occasion.
On the home front (no pun intended) I am a single dad of two middle school-aged girls. I enjoy treasure hunting at flea markets and antique fairs and using my hands to bring vintage finds back to life.
It's our Dad's fault.
If you know anything about us, it's that we're siblings who still like each other as adults after enduring a pretty normal childhood growing up in Southfield and West Bloomfield, Michigan.
We attended public schools and our parents stayed married for 42 years until our dad passed away in 2006.
Our dad was the Popcorn Man. He was an entrepreneur all his life.
But his real passion was real estate.
He built a few homes for our family and invested in real estate over the years, and his real estate bug was contagious.
He encouraged us to get our builder's licenses back in the 90's. And we've been buying, building, and selling homes around town ever since.
So here we are, and as time has passed we've collectively been involved in real estate in some way, shape, or form for more than 50 years.
Thanks, Dad.
