She's very easy to work with, and knowledgeable about homes and the quirks they may come with. She was on site during our home inspection to make sure she knew everything that was going on before we proceeded with the purchase. Evelyn and her team made the process so easy that I was questioning if I was doing something wrong, but she made sure everything was how it should be. 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.

I've recently sold my Ann Arbor home with Nate as my agent, and let me assure you that Nate is the…read morereal deal. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Here's my advice. Avoid trying to buy a house in the midst of a global pandemic…read more Unfortunately, I didn't have much of a choice. Renting our first home in Ann Arbor seemed like a good idea at the time. But leases end, and kids require stability. So buy a house we did. This was our first ever home purchase in Michigan. It's always interesting to see the regional variations of the home buying process state by state. I'm still not 100% how it all works, but I trusted our real estate agent to guide me through the process. That said, I've never fully understood what title companies really do. In Michigan, Title Companies seem to play the role that lawyers do in New York. Make sure all the i's are dotted. The t's are crossed. Facilitate these big transactions. Document the entire process. It was the seller of the house who chose Absolute Title. We were just along for the ride. And to extend the metaphor just a bit, in the age of COVID-19 we were treated to a Drive-In closing. Which means, periodically large stacks of papers were handed to my wife and me through the car window. We signed them, and traded the stack for a new mound of papers to sign. Once it was all done, we were homeowners. We drove down to the city clerk to file some important tax document. Weeks later, Absolute Title sent us a check because apparently there was a subsequent change to taxes in our favor. Woo hoo! All in all, this was about as painless an experience as one could have at the end of a significant financial transaction. And I did prefer signing all those papers in the peace, quiet, and relative privacy of our car, instead of around a meeting room table with all parties watching the process.

BUT, they should still have the processes in place to be a good title company. - I bought a piece of property without an agent and they didn't even keep me in the loop. How was I supposed to know anything that was going on, you ask? Well, they expected THEIR real estate agent to keep me in the loop. UGH. - There were several things that just didn't look quite right, so I ended up having to pay for a lawyer. This was platted land. It should have been very straightforward and clear from their end. It wasn't. - The person that I was communicating with for the two whole weeks this took didn't even come to the closing - someone else did. So I was confused about who I was even supposed to be working with. - I asked how much I owed, so that I could obtain a certified check. She ended up telling me the wrong amount. When I asked to see the invoice, she apologized and told me that she gave me the wrong amount. In my mind, ALL requests for large sums of money should be accompanied by an invoice (and the right amount is a "duh" situation.) The good: - The person that I worked with to close was efficient and understanding of my frustrations. - There is plenty of parking. - Masks were worn and plastic separators were set up in the closing room. Overall acceptable experience, though if I were going to select my own title company, it would not be Liberty Title. I did a commercial deal with Preferred Title a couple months ago, and I DID have a broker - and they still kept me in the loop. They also had a place where we could securely send messages to the team of people involved. Much more professional and thorough experience.
