Work with a local expert who knows the market inside and out. In Ann Arbor, Brighton, and across Southeast Michigan, homes can move quickly, so having the best Realtor in Ann Arbor on your side makes a huge difference. My advice is to get pre-approved, know your budget, and trust your agent’s negotiation strategy. I’ve helped hundreds of buyers win in competitive markets by staying proactive, prepared, and focused on finding the right home rather than just any home.

Price it right from the start and present it in the best possible light. As a top Realtor in Ann Arbor and Brighton, I use proven marketing strategies, professional photography, and targeted digital exposure to make sure your home stands out. Sellers should know that the first 7–10 days are critical—this is when buyers are most excited. With the right pricing, marketing, and negotiation, I’ve helped sellers achieve multiple offers and record-setting sales.

I’ve worked with just about every type of client—first-time homebuyers, luxury sellers, relocating families, investors, and longtime Southeast Michigan homeowners ready to downsize. Because I’m known as one of the most trusted Realtors in Ann Arbor and Brighton, clients often come to me through referrals or after reading reviews. Whether it’s a starter condo in Ypsilanti, a family home in Ann Arbor, or a luxury property in Brighton, I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs.

One of my favorite recent sales was in Ann Arbor where the seller had been worried about getting the right price. Using targeted marketing and my negotiation process, we generated multiple offers in just a few days and sold above asking. Experiences like this are why I’ve built over 600 five-star reviews as one of the top Realtors in Southeast Michigan. For me, success is about more than just the sale—it’s about making the client feel supported, informed, and thrilled with the outcome.

Before real estate, I toured the country as a stand-up comedian. That background taught me how to connect with people, communicate clearly, and keep things positive under pressure. After earning my journalism degree from Michigan State University, I wanted a career where I could use those skills to help people in a meaningful way. I launched my real estate career in Ann Arbor, and since then I’ve grown one of the top-producing real estate teams in Southeast Michigan, helping hundreds of families buy and sell with confidence.

Yes. I graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in journalism, which sharpened my communication skills—essential for negotiation and client advocacy. More importantly, I’ve built my career around continuous training in marketing, negotiation, and technology to stay ahead in a competitive industry. Combined with being a lifelong Southeast Michigan resident and a leader of a top real estate team in Ann Arbor and Brighton, my education and experience directly benefit clients who want the best results.
