About Us:

If you were to travel around Southeast Michigan, you would be able to find many real estate agents working with local buyers and sellers. You would not, however, find many teams like ours'. After years of consulting, training and first-hand observation, my business partner Todd Buckley and I decided to team up to offer a better real estate experience for our clients. We knew that combining efforts, we could do a much better job on a lot of different levels.

First, we provide a wealth of knowledge and expertise by having specialists in each of the areas of real estate.

Second, we provide a better marketing system for our sellers by combining resources. Did you know that most advertising costs are paid by the individual agent and not the brokers? We advertise all our properties as a team. Our marketing is consistent and provides great coverage for our sellers.

Third, there is an exponential effect with a team. Can you imagine the difference between working with one agent vs. a team? We have a competitive edge working together. Many of us came from traditional brokerages. We know what it is like to work on our own even though we were surrounded by many other agents in the broker's office. Just ask anyone on our team if they feel they were more effective working alone or as they are now working together. Personally, I like collaboration and seeing members on our team succeed at a high level.

Fourth, it is fun! We work well together. Enjoying your career is probably the first key to success. Could that be why we are selling more homes than last year, and more homes last year than the year before? It hasn't hurt. Our team is positive, moving forward, and successful at getting the job done in a market that continues to decline. - Karen Jolley

"You all went above and beyond my expectations...I have sung your praises before my home was even sold... All of you were just so pleasant and polite anytime I called. Each of you did your part during the entire process... I'm suffering with "withdrawals". I so miss talking with Tricia, Sara, Emily- all of you. I'm just going to call you up soon to say "Hello". You all were just so special and you never made me feel I was in "pain" but just the opposite." -Mrs. T. Nicholas (San Marino seller)
