Buying a home in Ann Arbor Hills

You can walk or bike to downtown and the university, and walk to the stadium on game days.
Many of the homes here were designed between 1950 and 1970 by University of Michigan architecture professors, with large windows, warm wood, and wide eaves. When we tour one, I'll help you tell what's original and what has been changed over the years.
What to know before you buy
Most of Ann Arbor Hills has no sidewalks. If you plan to walk every day, that's worth thinking about street by street.
Because the homes vary so much, comparing them takes care. When you find one you like, I'll show you which recent sales truly compare in design, lot, and condition, so you know whether the price makes sense.
At the inspection, we focus on safety, structural issues, and foundation issues, and I'll explain the report in plain words.
How buying works with me
You get pre-approved, and I set up your search. When you're ready to offer, I pull recent sales and call the listing agent to learn about competition and what matters to the seller, which helps shape your terms. Read more in how I help you from offer to keys.
