Judy also guided my parents who were representing me, through the whole processes. When I returned to the US recently, Judy helped me find my dream house. Judy's knowledge of the metro Detroit area and years of experience make house hunting quick and painless. Judy's list of handymen, insurance agents, inspectors, and so on is older than Angie's and more reliable than Craig's! I fully recommend talking to Judy if you're looking to sell or buy a house, or just want Real Estate advice.

It was a short sale, and very difficult because of the housing crisis going on and my fiances after a divorce. She was EXTREMELY helpful and held my hand all the way.

I would hire Judy to sell my home if I ever decide to move!

She kept saying how there were tons of interested buyers, as she was talking to the selling realtor. Trusting Kate as she has many years in the reals estate business, we put an offer in. It was accepted and she advised us not to have an inspection, because there was soooo many other buyers. We closed and moved across country. We got to the house and the refrigerator didn't work, the windows were rotten, and the house was filthy. It took me 3 weeks to get the house clean enough to live there. We have had the water heater go out, an air conditioner, and many other problems. Thousands of dollars later I wouldn't recommend Kate anyone. We won't ever buy long distance again, but thought we had a relationship with her.

The referrals were extremely helpful and I feel like Christine was the perfect realtor for my situation. She was able to give me some great advice to take care of some things that needed to be done to get the house ready to sell. When it was time to list, the process was quick and painless and Christine's experience was a key to making it happen. With her knowledge of the area and experience we were able to list and sell the house quicker than I thought would be possible. Through every part of the process I appreciated Christine's Professionalism and timely communications.

She was very patient, never rushing us to any decisions and showed us numerous homes before we found the one we wanted. Once we found our house, she advised us on an offer and then did some research on comparable square footage prices in the area, which helped us make the best offer. she also pulled info from the local assessors office to see what the assessed value was. Once we were ready to close, Mary went through EACH document with us, explaining what it was. She found a $100 charge the seller's title company was trying to charge us and made them take it off. Me likes that! Anyway, I highly recommend Mary Rettig if you are looking for a Realtor in the Detroit area. She was great for us and I'm sure she'll do a great job for you.

Her agency CENTURY 21 Today of Farmington Hills was not helpful either, her boss defended her actions of her firing us as her clients...but said we had to stay with CENTURY 21 Today...another wtf for the books? (Yes, I feel great being represented by an agency that doesn't believe I am serious about buying a house...that is who I want to be my buyers agent...Seriously wtf were they thinking?) We finally get untangled from the contract and so we start all over... find a whole new agent and agency...5 days searching with a new agent, who had a great attitude, we find a house and close on it. Looking back now, I can't even imagine how much time and energy we wasted working with Mary. I don't feel she understood our needs as buyers and I feel like A LOT of time and effort was wasted.

I had a fabulous experience with Kathy Broock and her whole team throughout the process of selling…read moreour home and purchasing our next one. We were successful with the sale of our unique mid-century modern home in Bloomfield. We were also thrilled with our newly purchased Bloomfield home, which we had to win in a competitive bidding situation. Buying and selling homes is often a difficult experience because it involves success with a million details, at the same time, managing to a complex set of important emotional and financial considerations. As a hands-on business owner myself, I was truly impressed by Kathy's attention to detail and personal assistance throughout the whole process and all transactions. Her entire team was equally attentive to detail and I appreciate all of the care they showed making our experience as turnkey as possible - all the while making us feel like we were their most important client, which we certainly were not. Your real estate agent options are many, especially when buying and selling expensive properties. Everybody wants your business and virtually all of them will say anything to get it. We knew from the first conversation when my wife and I interviewed Kathy that she was the right choice for us. Kathy's lifetime of experience and success in Oakland County, combined with what we judged to be a very honest and direct no-nonsense communication style really resonated with us. As a buyer and seller there were moments I didn't want to hear the truth, either because it didn't fit my narrative, or because I had other realtors in my ear placating me with their inexperience or disingenuous opinions. All realtors are fiercely competitive and if I had to do these millions of dollars in transactions all over again, I would still choose Kathy. She's the kind of rare talent that I want working on my behalf and fighting for my best interests. Everyone has opinions, especially when it comes to realtor choice, and this experience has reaffirmed what I always suspected to be true. She's the most successful realtor for a reason. Kathy is the best, and as a result you can expect that every other realtor is mostly jealous, and of course, will try and talk you into making a different decision. I really did hear it all, and she truly was as hands-on herself and competently supported by her team as if we were her only clients. It didn't matter what time of day, or what day of the week, she was always fast to respond. You shouldn't gift your listing to someone because you are friends or feel pressured. Selling and buying is a competitive process and you should expect your realtor to work their hardest and perform their fiduciary responsibility to truly earn their commission. When I stopped fighting my inclination to micro manage these processes and simply had faith in her by giving her my trust, everything went according to plan and ultimately exceeded expectations. Why on earth wouldn't you choose someone with over a billion dollars in lifetime sales if you had the opportunity? I did, and now we enjoy these beautiful views every day... thanks, Kathy!
