Real estate decisions based on reality, not emotion.

Most people find us during a hard chapter: a missed mortgage payment, a parent's estate, a rental that has become a burden. We help you see the real numbers, the real timeline, and every option you still have.

Free, confidential, and no pressure.

Why people call us

Experience most brokerages simply do not have

High-stakes situations are not a side specialty here. They are the work.

  • Former USDOJ bankruptcy counselor. Dave spent years reading household budgets and lender paperwork before he ever listed a house.
  • Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist. He knows what the court expects, what a Personal Representative can and cannot do, and how to keep an estate on schedule.
  • Direct lender experience. Loss mitigation departments have their own language and their own timelines. We have worked inside both.
  • Local, not regional. Monroe County and Downriver pricing, buyers, and inspectors are specific. We work here every day.

What a first conversation actually sounds like

  1. 01You tell us what is happening, in your own words. No forms first.
  2. 02We ask about the numbers: the loan, the payments, the repairs, the deadlines.
  3. 03We tell you plainly what we see, including the options that do not involve us.
  4. 04You decide what happens next, on your timeline.

Confidential either way. Nothing is shared with a lender, a family member, or anyone else without your say.

How we work

Clarity first, decisions second

The same three steps whether you are facing foreclosure, settling an estate, or weighing an investment.

  1. 01

    Understand the situation

    A free call or meeting where we listen, ask about the numbers, and find out what deadlines are actually in play.

  2. 02

    See every real option

    Keep it, sell it, negotiate it, or wait. We lay out each path with its likely outcome, cost, and timeline, in writing when it helps.

  3. 03

    Execute carefully

    Once you choose, we handle the details: lender calls, court paperwork timing, cleanout, pricing, and closing.

Work we have done

Real situations, handled quietly

Written client reviews are being collected with permission. In the meantime, here is the kind of work Dave does, described plainly.

Helped a family sell during the redemption period and keep the equity that was left, instead of losing it at the sale.
Foreclosure, Monroe County
Guided a Personal Representative through pricing, cleanout, and sale of an inherited home while the estate stayed on schedule.
Probate, Wayne County
Reviewed a homeowner's real budget, then worked with the servicer on a plan that let them stay in the home.
Lender negotiation, Downriver
Walked an owner through repair estimates and both retail and cash numbers so the decision was based on figures, not pressure.
Investment property, Washtenaw County
Where we work

Southeast Michigan, known street by street

Local knowledge matters most when the timeline is tight and the pricing has to be right the first time.
