Selling your home in Orchard Hills
A price based on real sales, a paid social media campaign, and a clear plan from your first meeting to closing day.
Selling your home in Orchard Hills
Selling your home in Orchard Hills starts with what kind of home you have. The neighborhood, on Ann Arbor's northeast side just north of Plymouth Road, was built in the 1960s and 1970s with ranch homes and two-story colonials, and some homes back up to a pond.
A ranch, a colonial, and a pond-side home each compare against their own sales. I use the ones that truly match yours, and we set the price together.
Orchard Hills buyers get two parks most neighborhoods don't have. The Thurston Nature Center, with its 7-acre pond and wooded trails, sits beside Thurston Elementary, and 27-acre Sugarbush Park has tennis courts, playgrounds, and nature trails. If your home is close to either one, the listing and the video will say so.

Marketing the location
Orchard Hills buyers are often thinking about the commute. The neighborhood is close to the University of Michigan's North Campus and medical campus, with easy access to US-23, and the shops and restaurants along Plymouth Road are nearby. The listing makes all of that clear.
If your home backs up to the pond, drone footage shows it in a way ground photos can't. The neighborhood pool residents can join in summer is worth mentioning too.
From listing day to closing
Every listing gets professional photos, video, a property website, Just Listed postcards, and a paid social media campaign for its first two weeks. From listing day to closing, I keep a checklist, and you hear the next step before you ask. Read more about how my campaign reaches more buyers.
