She was on site during our home inspection to make sure she knew everything that was going on before we proceeded with the purchase.

We rented from Bob Rubin through Arbor Properties for two years from 2007-2009. We had a great…read moreapartment in a quiet neighborhood in the old West side of town.

We would recommend renting from him and his property management group.

Bob was by far the best landlord I've ever had--better than I could've ever imagined a landlord…read morecould be. 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.

I cannot imagine you could find anyone better as an agent to partner with for your real estate efforts! Stacie Dugas was highly recommended by a dear friend to help me find a place for my husband and I. When we 1st met, I realized that I wasn't ready to move forward. Stacie kindly showed me the property I was interested in and was wonderfully accepting that I wasn't ready. Months later, I called on Stacie again and she immediately jumped to help! We saw the property one day after it was listed and she had the offer submitted that evening! With her guidance and her crafting of a stellar offer, our bid was accepted 2 days later! From that moment on till even after the closing, Stacie's gentle guidance and perfect communications ensured the smoothest transaction I could have ever imagined! We love our new home and I am fully convinced that we got a fair price and the best timing possible! Need an agent? Do not hesitate! Stacie Dugas is the best!

Homebuyers beware: based on our experience, we did not feel that our buyer's agent from Reinhart…read moreRealtors had our best interests in mind. We worked with Judie Wu from January through April 2025. We viewed several homes together, and she generally seemed patient and low-pressure. However, one incident left us deeply shaken and ultimately caused us to end the relationship. In April 2025, we viewed a home that appeared to meet all of our needs, and we decided to make an offer. During the process, Judie repeatedly told us that the property was popular and that we would need to offer above the asking price to have a chance of getting it. We declined to do so and decided to submit an offer at the asking price. She then sent us the offer documents to sign. On a whim, I searched the homeowner's name online and discovered news reports stating that the owner had been murdered in that same home only a few months earlier during a home invasion. The reports also indicated that the alleged perpetrator lived nearby. When we confronted Judie, she cited a law stating that sellers were not required to disclose this type of information. While that is true, she was representing us as the buyers. We were extremely disturbed that this information had not been shared with us, particularly while we were being encouraged to bid above the asking price. We immediately terminated our buyer representation agreement and ultimately stopped our home search. This experience seriously damaged our trust and left us feeling that our interests had not been adequately protected.

After using an agent from Reinhart to write an offer on a home, and having another agent from…read moreReinhart as the listing agent, Nancy Bishop, indicate that we had the successful bid on a house only to sell it to someone else, the general manager for Reinhart defended the practice and the agent. This is the worst real estate experience I've had after working on deals in several states. The General Manager was only interested in trying to cover up an unethical practice rather than seeking to improve and rectify poor performance. It is stunning that two agents from the same company would not work together, and in fact openly feud with each other and the General Manager would not seek to address the issue. A previous agent from the company had contacted us and indicated that Nancy Bishop had a bad track record of poor dealings with clients, but the general manage wasn't interested in addressing that issue. I would strongly encourage you to seek another real estate firm as you look to buy or sell real estate in Ann Arbor.

Buying a home, particularly the first time around, can be a daunting, somewhat harrowing…read moreexperience. Luckily for my partner and I, we were in capable hands. Jon Gordon helped my partner connect with the perfect commercial/studio space earlier in the year. So when the time came to jump into the market for a home, we immediately thought of him. Jon mostly handles commercial properties, and is also an associate broker, so we weren't sure if he would take up our cause or pass us along to another agent. We were happy when we heard that he would indeed be our buyer's agent. We knew from the start that we had a good "gut feeling" about Jon -- he seemed to have enough experience in the business to know all the ins, outs, and everyone around town, but he also seemed honest, up-front and on the level, something I haven't always sensed in my interactions with other agents. Throughout the process, we were glad to have Jon representing us and going to bat for us. He was a great listener and plenty personable, but could get tough when the situation called for that approach. And, of course, the situation did at times. We honestly could not have been happier or had a better guide through the process of first-time home ownership. After this positive experience as well as the positive experience with my partner's commercial space, I'd recommend Jon or any agent on his team that he personally recommended in a heartbeat.

He was very flexible with us, i.e. was willing to list our house for more than he thought it would get and was willing to put in an offer on a new house for much less than the asking price. After we closed on both houses, he went out of his way to take care of a small issue we had with our new house. Just to be clear--he had already received his commission, but he still went way out of his way to help us out. At some cost to himself. We would definitely work with him again. He's a really good, decent human being.

I am writing this long overdue review for J Keller Properties. My partner and I have been with J…read moreKeller for almost a year now, and it was one of the best and luckiest decisions we made. We had previously been with another property management company for ~5 years, and we lost A LOT of money while with them. We are very trusting, but over time we couldn't trust them, as they're accounting was horrible. Hey couldn't understand the simplest of requests. They used antiquated systems, and we would get statements 1-2 months late. It was just horrible. We knew it was time to change, and to be honest we didn't think there would be a huge difference between management companies. We interviewed 5 places. One place has been in the business for a long time, but he was too arrogant, and the others were nice but didn't seem to do anything extremely special. We settled on one, not J Keller at first, and then Jon convinced us to just give his company a shot so we switched last minute. We were impressed by his motivation and professionalism. We can only thank Jon tremendously now for convincing us to go with him because for the first time in years we are in the black. He is honest, organized and uses updated technology for accounting. His team is excellent at communication, and we trust them 100%. We were at API t where we couldn't afford the losses we were taking when with the other management company, but we have now decided to keep the properties since with J Keller they are in excellent shape, and we finally have cash flow. You have to be crazy not to go with J Keller, and I say this after being a landlord for over 10 years and having worked in the Ann Arbor real estate business. I know who the other companies are, and J Keller is head and shoulders above them all.

You really can't beat a 10 min walk anywhere. The unit itself is better on the inside than the outside. The countertops and cabinets are in good condition. They offer a pretty decent furniture deal but you should buy your own mattress. Plus, free laundry!* Also, the maintenance guy, Ahmad, is a chill dude who will always go the extra mile for you. Negatives: 1. It's old. The building is literally falling apart. A 15lb piece of the ceiling fell and almost hit my neighbor's car. When emailed about it, they just took the piece and did not repair the wall. There's rust everywhere and most of the windows should be replaced. The asphalt where you park your car is literally rubble and jagged rocks. A three person apartment is about 650sq ft, smaller than you think. 2. It's dirty. The laundry room is covered in dirt, hair, trash, and smells like a potluck of sweat and garbage. There's trash from the neighboring frat everywhere and graffiti on the walls. Also, my roommate had bed bugs in his mattress. We had to be fumigated twice... 3. Safe? I've had multiples incidents of homeless people sleeping below our stairs, yelling at me while digging through the trash, and had my car broken into. Also, there's no lights around the building. 4. Management doesn't care. All the complaints about fixing serious safety and maintenance problems were ignored...My roommate's and my car were towed even though mgt said that we were okay without a pass temporarily because they were closed when we tried to get one. When confronted, they blew us off. They just don't care about tenants. They didn't even trim the lawn for five weeks until I complained. 5. Mgt office is far. They are located east of campus deep in the residential neighborhood, a problem without a car. This isn't a huge problem, but it's a residential house and a few times no one was there during OH. 6. Communal water bill. Doesn't matter if you take a 30 minute shower, or don't shower at all, the entire building splits the water bill! This allows for "free laundry." 7. Parking is tight. Backing out of this driveway is difficult. I smashed my side mirror trying to back out. Also, people are forced to weave in between your car and often there are scratches "appearing" now and then. Location is the only reason you choose this property.
