I highly recommend NestEgg for any First time buyer.

Buying a home, particularly the first time around, can be a daunting, somewhat harrowing…read moreexperience. Luckily for my partner and I, we were in capable hands. Jon Gordon helped my partner connect with the perfect commercial/studio space earlier in the year. So when the time came to jump into the market for a home, we immediately thought of him. Jon mostly handles commercial properties, and is also an associate broker, so we weren't sure if he would take up our cause or pass us along to another agent. We were happy when we heard that he would indeed be our buyer's agent. We knew from the start that we had a good "gut feeling" about Jon -- he seemed to have enough experience in the business to know all the ins, outs, and everyone around town, but he also seemed honest, up-front and on the level, something I haven't always sensed in my interactions with other agents. Throughout the process, we were glad to have Jon representing us and going to bat for us. He was a great listener and plenty personable, but could get tough when the situation called for that approach. And, of course, the situation did at times. We honestly could not have been happier or had a better guide through the process of first-time home ownership. After this positive experience as well as the positive experience with my partner's commercial space, I'd recommend Jon or any agent on his team that he personally recommended in a heartbeat.

He was very flexible with us, i.e. was willing to list our house for more than he thought it would get and was willing to put in an offer on a new house for much less than the asking price. After we closed on both houses, he went out of his way to take care of a small issue we had with our new house. Just to be clear--he had already received his commission, but he still went way out of his way to help us out. At some cost to himself. We would definitely work with him again. He's a really good, decent human being.

From the first day when we met, when he picked me up on campus during my welcome weekend visit and drove me to a wide variety of his properties, I was impressed by his care and his desire to make sure I found a place to live where I was really happy. The apartment I rented was exceptionally well-maintained, and I lived there the entire 3 1/2 years I was in Ann Arbor. Every time I called Bob, he answered the phone. And anytime I needed a repair or regular maintenance, his warm and friendly staff (the wonderful Al and Tony), arrived within the hour. Whenever I called Bob, he asked how I was doing, and it took me a while to realize he was really asking and really wanted to know. And once, when I was horribly sick with the flu and I had to be on campus until 10 p.m. and I had a flight at 6 a.m. the next morning and my car was snowed in, I called Bob to tell him of my predicament and ask if he knew anyone I could call for help, and he sent over his crew to shovel me out, just out of kindness. I felt cared for and taken care of by the folks at Arbor Properties. I'll miss them, and I give them my highest recommendation.

Here's my advice. Avoid trying to buy a house in the midst of a global pandemic…read more Unfortunately, I didn't have much of a choice. Renting our first home in Ann Arbor seemed like a good idea at the time. But leases end, and kids require stability. So buy a house we did. This was our first ever home purchase in Michigan. It's always interesting to see the regional variations of the home buying process state by state. I'm still not 100% how it all works, but I trusted our real estate agent to guide me through the process. That said, I've never fully understood what title companies really do. In Michigan, Title Companies seem to play the role that lawyers do in New York. Make sure all the i's are dotted. The t's are crossed. Facilitate these big transactions. Document the entire process. It was the seller of the house who chose Absolute Title. We were just along for the ride. And to extend the metaphor just a bit, in the age of COVID-19 we were treated to a Drive-In closing. Which means, periodically large stacks of papers were handed to my wife and me through the car window. We signed them, and traded the stack for a new mound of papers to sign. Once it was all done, we were homeowners. We drove down to the city clerk to file some important tax document. Weeks later, Absolute Title sent us a check because apparently there was a subsequent change to taxes in our favor. Woo hoo! All in all, this was about as painless an experience as one could have at the end of a significant financial transaction. And I did prefer signing all those papers in the peace, quiet, and relative privacy of our car, instead of around a meeting room table with all parties watching the process.

BUT, they should still have the processes in place to be a good title company. - I bought a piece of property without an agent and they didn't even keep me in the loop. How was I supposed to know anything that was going on, you ask? Well, they expected THEIR real estate agent to keep me in the loop. UGH. - There were several things that just didn't look quite right, so I ended up having to pay for a lawyer. This was platted land. It should have been very straightforward and clear from their end. It wasn't. - The person that I was communicating with for the two whole weeks this took didn't even come to the closing - someone else did. So I was confused about who I was even supposed to be working with. - I asked how much I owed, so that I could obtain a certified check. She ended up telling me the wrong amount. When I asked to see the invoice, she apologized and told me that she gave me the wrong amount. In my mind, ALL requests for large sums of money should be accompanied by an invoice (and the right amount is a "duh" situation.) The good: - The person that I worked with to close was efficient and understanding of my frustrations. - There is plenty of parking. - Masks were worn and plastic separators were set up in the closing room. Overall acceptable experience, though if I were going to select my own title company, it would not be Liberty Title. I did a commercial deal with Preferred Title a couple months ago, and I DID have a broker - and they still kept me in the loop. They also had a place where we could securely send messages to the team of people involved. Much more professional and thorough experience.
