I had a fabulous experience with Kathy Broock and her whole team throughout the process of selling…read moreour home and purchasing our next one. We were successful with the sale of our unique mid-century modern home in Bloomfield. We were also thrilled with our newly purchased Bloomfield home, which we had to win in a competitive bidding situation. Buying and selling homes is often a difficult experience because it involves success with a million details, at the same time, managing to a complex set of important emotional and financial considerations. As a hands-on business owner myself, I was truly impressed by Kathy's attention to detail and personal assistance throughout the whole process and all transactions. Her entire team was equally attentive to detail and I appreciate all of the care they showed making our experience as turnkey as possible - all the while making us feel like we were their most important client, which we certainly were not. Your real estate agent options are many, especially when buying and selling expensive properties. Everybody wants your business and virtually all of them will say anything to get it. We knew from the first conversation when my wife and I interviewed Kathy that she was the right choice for us. Kathy's lifetime of experience and success in Oakland County, combined with what we judged to be a very honest and direct no-nonsense communication style really resonated with us. As a buyer and seller there were moments I didn't want to hear the truth, either because it didn't fit my narrative, or because I had other realtors in my ear placating me with their inexperience or disingenuous opinions. All realtors are fiercely competitive and if I had to do these millions of dollars in transactions all over again, I would still choose Kathy. She's the kind of rare talent that I want working on my behalf and fighting for my best interests. Everyone has opinions, especially when it comes to realtor choice, and this experience has reaffirmed what I always suspected to be true. She's the most successful realtor for a reason. Kathy is the best, and as a result you can expect that every other realtor is mostly jealous, and of course, will try and talk you into making a different decision. I really did hear it all, and she truly was as hands-on herself and competently supported by her team as if we were her only clients. It didn't matter what time of day, or what day of the week, she was always fast to respond. You shouldn't gift your listing to someone because you are friends or feel pressured. Selling and buying is a competitive process and you should expect your realtor to work their hardest and perform their fiduciary responsibility to truly earn their commission. When I stopped fighting my inclination to micro manage these processes and simply had faith in her by giving her my trust, everything went according to plan and ultimately exceeded expectations. Why on earth wouldn't you choose someone with over a billion dollars in lifetime sales if you had the opportunity? I did, and now we enjoy these beautiful views every day... thanks, Kathy!

Tim and I want to thank you for your prompt response to our repair needs. You are the BEST and we are so thankful to have you onboard now for our property manager! It was so hard to get things repaired before, but since you've been on board, things are finally getting done here. Not just getting done, but in a timely manner too, and the "right" way the "first" time, not having to have someone come back again for the "same" problem! Repairmen arrive when said, not an hour later or hour earlier. Dependable! We finally feel appreciated and are grateful to you both! Thank you to (name of our landlord) for finding Wanda and her company. If we ever hear of anyone looking for a property manager, we know where to send them.

I should start with the fact that our family just purchased and moved into a great property. A…read morefantastic home! Going all the way back to the beginning, we find ourselves near our condo, our previous dwelling that we were trying to sell in summer 2017. That 38th showing should have ended already. I opened the door of my garage and... found two people inside. The buyer and his realtor were standing right in front of me and apparently had my face expression: quite surprised and very funny. These guys were taking their time... Or were they just very thorough? The next 15 minutes we spent talking about the condo. They barely asked questions. Instead, the buyer's realtor started telling me things that I hoped no buyer would ever find out and complain to me about. Such as uneven floors under the laminate. I learned to live with it. I put some heavy furniture on top of it that silenced the worst of the squeaks and I imagined the new owner would do the same. And in fact, in 40 showings I had that summer, no one ever noticed that. However, that was just the beginning. The realtor went further exposing one problem after another. It seemed like he could not stop running through the list. I was genuinely surprised that in a single showing he learned much more about my condo that I did in three years. When they were leaving, I asked for his business card. The name of the realtor was Scott Sowles. Key Realty. On the back of the card I read: ... expertise that you will have hard time finding elsewhere. After two more unsuccessful showings, I asked my realtor N. to take it off the market. Two months later, I called Scott Sowles: We wanted to discuss buying a new property OR buying a vacant lot to build a brand new custom house. Scott spent almost four hours at our place drawing various scenarios on his laptop. Having him at our disposal suddenly felt like having been granted access to a powerful tool that we now should learn how to use. The tool guided us through various dimensions of every decision we would potentially make and gave us a perspective in all its complexity as well as provide solutions. That evening truly convinced us that Scott was not the usual realtor. With that realization, the back of his business card seemed to have a deeper meaning: Scott was sharing with us the time of his life. In the next 1.5 mo. we tried to understand what we actually wanted. We were not ready for Scott, we would just waste his time. Then I called him to see a vacant land. One lot was particularly interesting. We went on evaluating it, until we found that... a custom house was not what we needed. Finally, we found an existing house that was on the market for two months and no one wanted to buy it. Don't get me wrong: this is the fantastic house we own now! What could be wrong with it? Well, the realtor and the sellers were not talking to anyone. I mean, it was as if they never wanted to sell anything at all! Call them, send them an email - be sure, they will NOT respond! Scott and I were already a team and I was not expecting Scott to do all the work for me! I owned my part. Scott still does not know it, I hope he will not read this... haha... but to get the seller's realtor out of his hide, I sent him an email saying I was going to buy the house! Whatever did it, in the morning the seller's realtor suddenly started talking to us. Long story short, Scott helped us purchase that house in late November. Scott also sold our condo to the 5th visitor in late November (our closing was on December 21). It wasn't the great summer time when potential buyers storm your house. Scott personally took the pictures. And no, this wasn't because he was trying to save money. We used Scott's mortgage rep and did not get a better offer anywhere else. We used Scott's recommendations for the home inspection, sewer inspection,... We learned what great improvements we can make to the house. We even learned realtor secrets not every realtor knows :-) By the way, Scott teaches sales, negotiation etc. He knows a lot in every subdomain of real estate and a lot around it. We have already recommended Scott Sowles to my sister and her husband. We will keep recommending him to every good friend of ours. We are recommending him here to You. Ask me what was that one thing that made me feel so thankful to myself and happy about my experience with Scott? I trusted this guy all the way. I looked at Scott's card again: Trust Scott... I would add: don't judge Scott. You can buy a good house, but you can't buy a good friend. Scott isn't a tool that you buy. I know I said otherwise above, but I just realized that! When you call him, if you can, please treat him as your close friend. Please treat him well. The house will come (or sell). Not: "Trust Scott and expect results". Instead, "Trust Scott, the results will follow" Thank you, Scott Sowles!

19 minutes ago NEW I…read morehave never been so disappointed and screwed over with any situation let alone a real estate agent. This was going to be my second house buying process. It's a long process to finally get done so the amount of experience I've had going through this plus having my father be a real estate agent my whole life, I highly DO NOT RECCOMEND SCOTT SIMS. My husband Ryan West and I went through Scott as our agent for the church he was selling. He had us go through all the work of getting proof of funds, signing papers, and everything. We were the HIGHEST CASH offer, at $100k. The church was listed at 109k and Even told him we would offer $140k, which was 30k above asking price!!! After making us do all the paperwork and promising us it was ours and just had to wait on the sellers agreement, Scott completely ghosted us for a week, blamed it on being on vacation and having no service, then said the seller went from under him and accepted an offer 20k UNDER ASKING PRICE! what????? So after having another real estate friend do some research, he ended up just selling it to a friend of his which caused the company to lose out on what could have been $50,000 more. Not to mention once I messaged him kindly expressing how horrible this process with him has been, he blocked us on everything. I'm so upset by how screwed over I was in this situation by Scott. I'll make sure to let everyone know not to use him or this company.
