Jake did a great job assisting us with the purchase of a condo. His knowledge of the local area and market expertise were instrumental in the whole process. Very responsive to even the smallest of queries and concerns, and guided actively throughout the process, even after closing. Would be happy to recommend him.

Jake did an amazing job, he listened to what our wants and needs were, and was able to find us a perfect spot for our family in a great city while fitting our budget.
— Buyer
Jake took the time to listen to what we were looking for in a home. He was able to utilize his relationships to find us an off-market home. It was exactly what we had been looking for, and we couldn't be happier with how things worked out. Jake was always quick to answer our questions. He is knowledgeable about the market trends and knows the Rochester Hills area very well. We had a great experience working with Jake, found him to be honest, and therefore we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.
Born and raised in Rochester, MI, Jake brings honesty, hard work, and accountability to every real estate experience. Whether buying or selling, he’s ready to guide you every step of the way.
