How buying goes with us

Five steps, and no pressure at any of them

  1. Tell us what you actually wantNot the wish list. The three things that would make you say yes and the two you will never live with. That conversation saves more Saturdays than any search filter.
  2. Get pre-approvedSo you know what you can own before you fall for something you cannot. We can point you to lenders we have closed with, and you are free to bring your own.
  3. Search and tourAlerts on the streets you want, and a real person to walk through them with you. We will tell you what we see, including when we think you should pass.
  4. Write an offer that holds upPrice is one term out of a dozen. Inspection, appraisal, occupancy and timing decide as many deals as the number does.
  5. Inspection to closingThe part where things go sideways and somebody has to handle it. That is what you are hiring us for.

If you are also selling, say so at step one. The two closings have to line up and that is far easier to plan than to fix.

What it's like to work with us

★★★★★

“I was going through a lot of different agents and I just wasn't getting the help that I needed. I told him don't be discouraged because he got a little frustrated. I told him to just keep looking, you will come across that one person that wants to do the right thing. Pretty Home Realty had that person, Shawn Calhoun.”

Dozie ObasiBuyer, Metro Detroit
★★★★★

“Shawn and Christina helped me save my building, salon, and my home. I was in a very difficult situation when they walked into my business and offered me lots of options, and I just knew that they could help me, even though other people before could not help. They worked a miracle.”

Judy MoonSeller, Berkley
★★★★★

“I knew that I wanted to sell quickly. I did not want my property just sitting in a mix of unsold properties. Christina took the ball and ran with it. We talked about pricing and what my goal was, and she listened to me and priced it very well. As soon as it went on the market, the first day, my phone was just dinging dinging dinging for viewers who wanted to view the property, mainly because of the pricing factor, so we met my goal.”

Questions we get

Straight answers about buying

Is this the same data agents see?

Yes. Our search pulls from the Realcomp MLS and updates through the day, so it reflects status changes faster than most of the national portals, which re-syndicate on their own schedule. If a home went pending this morning, you will see it here before you drive over.

Do I need to be pre-approved before we look at homes?

Not before we talk, but yes before you write an offer, and in practice sooner is better. A pre-approval tells you what you can actually own, which changes which neighborhoods are worth your Saturday. We can point you to lenders we have closed with and you are free to use your own.

How much does it cost to work with a buyer's agent?

Since the 2024 changes to how buyer agent compensation works, this is negotiated in writing between you and your agent before you tour homes, and how much of it the seller covers is negotiated on each deal. We will put our terms in front of you in plain language and answer every question before you sign anything.

I am selling and buying at the same time. How does that work?

It is two closings that have to line up, and that timing is where most moves go wrong. We run both sides so it is one plan instead of two agents guessing at each other. Tell us both halves up front and we will build the dates backward from your move.

How fast do homes sell in Metro Detroit right now?

It varies sharply by price band and by city, and neighborhood averages are more useful than a metro number. Tell us the areas you are considering and we will send you the current days on market and list to sale price ratio for those specific places.

Can I just get alerts without talking to anybody?

Yes. Save a search and you will get new listings that match, as they hit the MLS. Nobody will call you unless you ask us to.

Own the right house, not the one you settled for.

Start with a search, or start with a conversation. Either is fine.
