🍎🏡 Come for the c***r. Stay for the house.

You're officially invited! 💌

I'll be hosting an Open House this Saturday, October 24, from 12–3 PM at 1506 Dicken Drive in Ann Arbor, and we're adding a little fall flavor to the festivities!

Thanks to Wiard's Orchard, there will be delicious c***r and doughnuts waiting for you! 🍩

But let's talk about the house...

Located in Ann Arbor's sought-after Dicken Park neighborhood, directly across from Dicken Elementary School, this home sits on a quiet dead-end street leading toward the Dicken Woods Nature Area.

Inside, you'll find a beautifully renovated kitchen, updated bathrooms, hardwood floors throughout, and plenty of thoughtful upgrades. There's even an unfinished basement with approximately 804 additional square feet of possibilities!

Whether you're actively house hunting, curious about the neighborhood, or just want to see what's behind that charming front door, I'd love for you to stop by!

I have some clients moving from AZ to MI and need a short-term rental from Oct 28-Nov 8. Anyone got anything dog friendly?

🏡 FIVE FOR FRIDAY: MONROE COUNTY & DOWNRIVER RENTALS! 🏡

Not quite ready to buy a home yet? That's okay!

Maybe you're working on improving your credit, building up your savings for a down payment, or simply aren't ready to take the leap into homeownership just yet.

Whatever the reason, renting might be the right move for this chapter of your life!

Now, I won't sugarcoat it... rental options are looking a little slim around here. 😅

I searched throughout Monroe County and several Downriver communities, and let's just say the MLS wasn't exactly overflowing with options!

BUT, I managed to round up five rentals worth taking a look at, from Monroe and Dundee to Trenton!

Whether you're looking for a temporary landing spot while working toward homeownership or simply prefer the flexibility of renting, take a look and see if one might be a good fit.

And remember, you don't have to be ready to buy today to start planning for tomorrow. 🏡

🏡 FIVE FOR FRIDAY: HOMES WITH CHARACTER 🏡

They really don't build them like they used to! 😍

Every once in a while, I come across a house that makes me stop scrolling. This week, I found one that inspired an entire Five for Friday!

I have a soft spot for older homes. The original hardwood floors, detailed woodwork, grand staircases, wraparound porches... and all those little architectural details that give a house its personality.

So, this week I went looking for homes with a little history and a LOT of character!

I found five unique homes across Southeast Michigan, built between 1850 and 1929, and each has something special to offer.

🏡 One has an original carriage house.

⚓ One offers waterfront living with canal access.

🌸 One even comes with a well-established flower shop!

🌳 And another sits on nearly EIGHT acres, complete with a massive barn.

Some have been beautifully updated, while others are waiting for someone to bring their next chapter to life.

👉 Swipe through all five and tell me which one catches your eye!

🔗 I'll put the individual listing links in the comments.

🏡 A new home is hitting the market tomorrow in one of my favorite waterfront communities in Southeast Michigan — although I might be a little biased. 😉

12172 N Lakeshore Dr in La Salle is coming soon, and if you've ever wondered what it's like to live in this little Lake Erie community, this could be your chance.

And the timing couldn't be much better. You might even move in just in time for trick-or-treating and get your first taste of one of my favorite neighborhood traditions — our annual Halloween Golf Cart Parade! 🎃

There's something special about living in a neighborhood where golf carts, lake days, neighbors chatting in the driveway and community traditions are just part of everyday life.

If you'd like the details on this one or want to schedule a private showing once it goes live, send me a message!

🧱 There’s just something about a brick ranch...

Maybe it’s the classic Southeast Michigan charm. Maybe it’s having everything on one level. Maybe it’s the basement, the backyard, or knowing brick never really goes out of style.

Whatever the reason, brick ranches continue to be a favorite around here — so naturally, they had to get their own Five for Friday.

This week I found:

🏡 5 three-bedroom brick ranches
💰 All under $250,000
📍 Downriver, MI
And there’s a little something different about each one — updated kitchens, hardwood floors, extra basement space, big garages, backyard perks... even one with three garage spaces. 👀

👉 Swipe through all five and tell me which one you’d pick.

I’ll put the individual listing links in the comments.

And now I need to know...

Are you a brick-ranch person? Or is there another style of home you’d choose every time? 🏡

A little impromptu weekend getaway to visit Grandma & Grandpa turned into ice cream walks along the pier, bonfire nights, freezing our feet off at Iargo Springs, getting our steps (and then some 😅) at Lumberman’s Monument, plenty of beach walks, and blueberry picking at Tawas Blueberry Farm. 🫐

The blueberries were great. The blueberry doughnuts may have been even better. 🍩

Nick even taught us how to whistle with an acorn - I'm sure the neighbors weren't sad to see us leave. 😂

We also somehow came home with a slightly larger souvenir than expected… 👀

Now to turn some of those blueberries into a pie. 🫐🥧 Stay tuned.

Thank you, Grandma for having us come visit!

🌳 You spoke. I listened.

Last week, Five for Friday was all about waterfront homes under $350K.

Then my sister very clearly informed me that she would choose more land over Lake Erie... and judging by the comments, quite a few of you are on her side. 😂

So, Team Land — this one's for you.

This week's Five for Friday features:

🏡 5 properties
🌳 5+ acres each
💰 All under $400K

And there's actually a pretty fun mix this week — from a remodeled home on 5 acres to properties with ponds, pole barns, room for horses... and one with a whopping 53 ACRES. 👀

👉 Swipe through all five to see what your money can buy when a little more breathing room is the priority.

I'll put links to each property in the comments.

And now that I've given BOTH sides a fair shot...

🌊 Team Water or 🌳 Team Land?

I'm still Team Water... but I have to admit, some of these made a pretty convincing argument. 😂
