Metro Detroit
Carl purchases residential property throughout Metro Detroit and considers opportunities statewide, with a practical view of condition, land, and future potential.
Ferndale's classic bungalows, most just 900 square feet, were built in the early to mid twentieth century for a growing working class population, and their tiny kitchens and single car garages still show it. With almost no vacant land left in the city's 3.9 square miles, Carl buys these homes as is, dated layout and all.
Explore Ferndale →Carl's first home after college, Royal Oak is a city he still knows block by block, from its tight, walkable streets of bungalows and colonials to its packed downtown. With almost no vacant land left to build on, an older home's value here often comes down to its lot and location as much as its condition, and Carl buys it as is either way.
Explore Royal Oak →Oak Park filled in almost overnight in the 1950s, and its compact brick ranches, most with three bedrooms and a single bath, still reflect that postwar boom. Carl buys these homes as is, so a kitchen that hasn't changed since the Eisenhower years is never a reason to wait.
Explore Oak Park →Berkley's small, well kept bungalows sit close together on tree lined streets just blocks from a walkable downtown, and buyers here tend to expect a home that's already move in ready. Carl buys the ones that aren't, and handles whatever updating a house needs after closing instead of asking you to do it first.
Explore Berkley →Madison Heights grew up almost overnight after its founding in 1955, and its neat, modest ranches on rectangular lots still reflect that first wave of postwar construction. Carl buys these homes directly, including ones that have sat as rentals or passed through a family for years without an update.
Explore Madison Heights →Auburn Hills didn't see major development until late in the twentieth century, so its housing runs from a handful of older homes to mid century ranches to subdivisions built well after 2000, often on larger lots than its older neighbors. Carl evaluates each property on its own land and condition rather than assuming every house in the city fits one mold.
Explore Auburn Hills →Carl bought his first property here in 1997, and Pontiac has been part of his story ever since. As the oldest inland city in Michigan, Pontiac carries more than two centuries of housing, from the company built homes of its historic Modern Housing neighborhood to buildings now being converted back into apartments downtown, and Carl still buys directly from owners across all of it.
Explore Pontiac →Hazel Park's housing stock is mostly small capes and ranches built just after World War II, with 9 Mile Road splitting the city into more affordable blocks to the north and pricier ones to the south. As Ferndale's prices have climbed, more buyers have discovered Hazel Park, and Carl buys homes here as is, whether they need a full rehab or just a new owner.
Explore Hazel Park →Much of Troy filled in between the 1970s and 1990s, giving many neighborhoods their classic split level and center entrance colonial look, alongside newer condos closer to the city's business corridors. Carl buys directly and works around your timeline, whether a home needs decades of deferred updates or just a faster path to closing.
Explore Troy →Rochester's downtown blends century old homes with new condos and lofts along Main Street, a mix that traces back to the city's start as a mill town on the Clinton River. Carl buys older homes here in whatever condition they're in, from a place that needs full modernizing to one that just needs a new owner.
Explore Rochester →Birthplace of Carl's daughter, Rochester Hills is home to more than four hundred subdivisions, ranging from 1950s bungalows near Stoney Creek to newer colonials and contemporary builds further out. Carl has personal roots here as well as professional ones, and he buys homes across every era of the city's housing stock.
Explore Rochester Hills →Pleasant Ridge packs a National Register Historic District into one of Metro Detroit's smallest cities, with 1920s and 1930s colonials, bungalows, and Tudors lining its tree lined avenues. Inventory here is genuinely limited, so Carl moves quickly and privately when a home in Pleasant Ridge does come up for sale.
Explore Pleasant Ridge →Known locally as the City of Homes, Huntington Woods is almost entirely residential, with Tudors, colonials, and bungalows built between the 1920s and 1960s lining streets that border the Detroit Zoo and Rackham Golf Course. Carl buys these homes directly, with no showings required in a city where privacy tends to matter most to sellers.
Explore Huntington Woods →Carl's hometown, Bloomfield Hills is where auto magnates built some of Michigan's grandest estates in the 1920s and 1930s, and many of those wooded, half acre and larger lots are still what gives a property here its real value. Carl evaluates the home, the land, and the location together, the same way he sizes up every property in the town he calls home.
Explore Bloomfield Hills →Birmingham grew up around Detroit's northernmost streetcar line, and its older homes still carry that era's carriage houses, wide porches, and parlors even as new construction fills in around them. Carl offers a private alternative here when getting a home ready for a public listing doesn't fit your timeline or the home's condition.
Explore Birmingham →With 34 lakes covering more than a tenth of the township, Waterford's housing runs from 1960s cottages to brand new builds on the same street, especially on lakefront lots where older homes are often torn down and replaced. Carl buys as is, lakefront or not, and can take on repairs after closing.
Explore Waterford →Southfield pairs one of Michigan's largest concentrations of office space with housing that ranges from wooded single family neighborhoods to high rise condos overlooking the skyline. Carl's construction background helps him see past dated finishes or deferred maintenance to what a Southfield property is actually worth.
Explore Southfield →Carl buys older, inherited, rental, vacant, and as-is homes throughout Macomb County, with a direct process and flexible closing timeline.
