I highly recommend NestEgg for any First time buyer.

After going back and forth, they said they could meet at 11 am on Saturday. Now, Saturday came, my husband was in the online meeting room, but nobody showed up. He waited for 30 minutes there and ended the online meeting. Now, after he left home, Evelyn called him and said she had forgotten the meeting, with no legitimate reason. And after wasting part of his weekend, she told him that they only offer the full management service and do not help just with finding a tenant. The purview of their service is fine; that is their choice, but this could certainly be communicated via email instead of going through this unprofessional and disrespectful experience. I was surprised to find many great reviews about this company, which was good for them, but I guess our need wasn't lucrative enough for them to care if you can drop a meeting they scheduled without giving a legitimate reason.

From the first day when we met, when he picked me up on campus during my welcome weekend visit and drove me to a wide variety of his properties, I was impressed by his care and his desire to make sure I found a place to live where I was really happy. The apartment I rented was exceptionally well-maintained, and I lived there the entire 3 1/2 years I was in Ann Arbor. Every time I called Bob, he answered the phone. And anytime I needed a repair or regular maintenance, his warm and friendly staff (the wonderful Al and Tony), arrived within the hour. Whenever I called Bob, he asked how I was doing, and it took me a while to realize he was really asking and really wanted to know. And once, when I was horribly sick with the flu and I had to be on campus until 10 p.m. and I had a flight at 6 a.m. the next morning and my car was snowed in, I called Bob to tell him of my predicament and ask if he knew anyone I could call for help, and he sent over his crew to shovel me out, just out of kindness. I felt cared for and taken care of by the folks at Arbor Properties. I'll miss them, and I give them my highest recommendation.

Definitely not recommended…read more When I was looking for a house 2 years ago - I just dialed an agent from a listing (to get started - when you are looking at hundreds) and it happened to be a Drake Team rep. My first clue this was going to be a short honeymoon should have been when the agent in so many words outlined she wanted me to search for the property's I wanted to look at - send it to her - and then she would arrange for access to the home. Maybe that plan worked when the going was good back in the 90's / early 2000's in oversaturated markets - but an agent to think they can get paid for not doing the main part of their job is truly bogus. The Drake team obviously employs weekend real estate agents who get their license simply to make some side money on the cheap. Moving on - we entertained the help of this agent for a couple weeks - being we had an eagerness to find a home we decided to lunge into looking at what was out there and stay on top of the house search. This was my first home buying experience (late 20's at the time) and I certainly was no "in the know" on everything with real estate. That knowledge was compounded by the market crash and the change in landscape on home buying with so many short sales and foreclosures. Long story short - the Drake Team agent kept prompting us to look at short sales. Ignoring the fact that a process to buy a short sale can be lengthy and we were on a timeline to make a purchase due to moving needs, renting on current property etc. We just didn't have 6-12 months to monkey around. The more laughable component was when looking at some of the short sale homes (before we knew better as buyers) - the Drake agent continued to feed us a line that we could under bid the asking on a short (in once example by 30,000-40,000) and would still have high odds at landing the property. After being aloof for a small period - I contacted a someone I knew in real estate (not from the area) and also a family member in banking to get the scoop on as much as possible on what we should expect. It ultimately lead us away from the logic of looking at short sales and ultimately dealing with this Drake agent (due to her ignorance to helping us as buyers). We then moved to an agent with the Surovell Realtors. The agent we awesome (she has since move on to Charles Reinhart) - and one of the first things she did was tell us to stay away from short sales based on the components of our search. Further - she constantly sent us homes and updates from the market and would personally set up viewings to get the max out of our time. Ultimately we found a home within a month of leaving the Drake team and bought hour place (great home) by December. If you ever wonder why you see Drake Team signs on property for years at a time - it's because they don't do anything productive for the home sale or buying experience. STAY AWAY!!!!!

If you're reading this review, you must be where I was a couple of months ago-trying to get a sense of which agent will be your greatest advocate in your real estate transaction. I met with several real estate agents in my search and decided to go with Nate. I'm so glad that I did. The first thing I noticed was Nate's honest appraisal of my situation. He didn't try to up-sell me or promise me the world; his advice was earnest and reflected his years of experience in the Ann Arbor market. I was living 2,000 miles away in California while the house was on the market. But with Nate as my agent, I was always in the loop. Texts, emails, home checkups, phone calls-- he was always available for my questions and to give his recommendations. Nate's a "Full Service" Real Estate Agent-- and he exceeds his reputation. It should have been difficult to sell your house from the other side of the country. Nate made it a breeze. His price recommendation was right on the money. As a negotiator, he was able to work with the buyers to get any issue resolved quickly. With his help, I was even able to complete the transaction remotely. But as an agent, he went well above any expectations I had. Allow me to share a story with you. At the house I've had stuff stashed in storage in the basement for years. Photos, books, personal knick knacks. When the house closed, Nate and his wife drove to the house to sort, pack, and then deliver my things to my parents' home over an hour away. WHO DOES THAT?? I was blown away by the level of service. Let me say that Nate Foerg is an absolute professional. Like you, I found him on Yelp. But his rating and reviews on here are well deserved. The guy truly goes above and beyond. And if I ever decide to return to Ann Arbor, he'll be the first person I call. I hope you do too.
