NEWSLETTER: MAY 2023

May 16, 2023

WE’RE 10!

(THOUGH OUR MOTHERS LIKE TO BRAG THAT WE READ AT THE LEVEL OF AN 11 YEAR OLD)

As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we want to use our May 2023 Newsletter to extend our sincere, heartfelt gratitude to all of you.

When we opened shop back in 2013, industry peers scoffed at the idea of a new construction-specific brokerage.

“No one has ever done it,” they said “and there is probably a reason for that.”

Well, fortunately, we are stubborn (plus none of them could cite an actual reason), and we had all of you on our side. So here we are, 10 years later… along with New Home Experts Las Vegas (2018), and New Home Experts Sarasota (2021).

It’s been a wild ride and we can’t wait to see where the next 10 years take us.

To those of you who have built with us – some of you multiple times! – and/or referred friends or family to us, thank you.

To our builder partners, who entrust us to market and list their spectacular creations, despite our quirky methods, we thank you as well.

We appreciate all of you more than words, and enthusiastically await our next project(s) together!

CURRENT LISTINGS

OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION COLLECTION

LOT #15 | WHISPERING RIDGE ESTATES

Brick is going up on this BRAND NEW/NEVER-BEEN-BUILT ranch floor plan by Strathdale Development. Featuring 3 bed/2.5 bath/2,450 sqft, a 3-car garage, and a ton of high-end finishes, we are excited to see this home take shape.

Located near Benstein & Glengary in Commerce, Whispering Ridge Estates is located in a particular section of the township that might be the only one which doesn’t require navigating 2-lane roads while winding around every lake in Oakland County, resulting in commute times that range from 30 min to the Donner Party. Yay! Connect with us for the details!

24191 TRAFALGAR CT | NOVI

Located near 10 Mile & Beck in the heart of Novi, and featuring award-winning/awe-inspiring/otherworldy/all-the-things Novi Schools, you can’t Novi any harder than this.

Built by Kensington Family Homes and priced from the mid-$900s, this Ava floor plan features 5 bed/4 bath, over 3,000 sqft, and a 3-car side entry garage, along with all the luxury finishes you’ve come to expect from Kensington.

This home is far enough along that the window for customizing interior selections is closing quickly, so now is the time to add your personal touch!

Connect with Lou and Jeff (if you’re already working with us), or reach out to Julie or Kim directly for the details.

IN OTHER REAL ESTATE NEWS…

TRIANGLE DISTRICT | BIRMINGHAM

Blue construction fencing has encircled the vacant lot on the southeast corner of Woodward and Maple for the better part of a year now, giving hope that something might actually come of the former Barclay Inn Hotel site. We have now learned that, while construction isn’t imminent, it is in the works; Minneapolis-based developer Ryan Cos., is eyeing the parcel for a mixed use development that would include retail and commercial space, along with 210 residential units. Late last month, the Birmingham Planning Board postponed site plan approval to work on traffic and access concerns. Projected to top-off at 9-floors, it would be among the taller buildings in Birmingham… [read more]

VARIOUS GOLF COURSES | LYON TWP

Ah, development life. Making your way through the world today takes everything you’ve got and if you’re a former golf course in Lyon Twp., then odds are what you’ve got is density issues. It’s the age old debate: developers need more density to make the numbers work, while townships want less density because EVERYTHING MUST BE BEAUTIFUL and they’re both right, so here we are; quoting ’80s sitcom theme songs with little else to report until everyone can make nice. In the case of the former Coyote Golf Club, Lombardo Homes has reduced density, while also gifting the township 8 acres + some existing infrastructure, but it appears that still might not be enough… [read more]
