Buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction—it’s an emotional journey, and you deserve a Realtor who brings not just knowledge, dedication, and experience, but also enthusiasm and heart. This is one of the biggest decisions of your life, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way, making it smooth, supportive, and even enjoyable.
I specialize in residential real estate throughout Southeast Michigan. Born and raised here, I’ve experienced firsthand the magic of finding the perfect home. From Westland to Milford, East Pointe to Plymouth, I’ve lived in all four corners and traveled beyond. I still remember the pride on my dad's face when he bought our new construction home in Westland with Livonia schools. And I’ll never forget when my mom, after years of driving by her dream home in Farmington, finally convinced my dad to knock on the door and make an offer—even though it wasn’t for sale. And you know what? They sold it to us. That one bold move changed our entire lives.
One of our cherished family traditions was our yearly summer vacation to Camp Dearborn. We stayed in Tent City with our cousins while our dads went into the city for work and returned each night. Sixteen years of that tradition made such a lasting impression that I always said I’d live in Milford one day. And I did! My husband Chris and I made a tidy profit on our first home and used it to buy undeveloped land on the edge of town—at least three acres per home, no HOA, just peace and privacy.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but when we started building our dream home, I was also building the foundation for a real estate career that would come later. At 30 years old, I designed and helped build a 3,000 sq. ft. walk-out ranch in just six months. The land was flat, but I was determined to make that walkout happen—so we brought in thousands of yards of dirt and created our own hill. We built a peaceful haven: wooded acres, a pond full of frogs, a pool, tetherball, and the biggest deck you’ve ever seen—1500 square feet of deck magic for entertaining friends and family.
The only thing I didn’t think to consider? The orientation. We didn’t realize the back of the house faced north, which meant not enough light for this sunshine-loving girl. That lesson now guides how I evaluate homes for my clients. If natural light matters to you, I make sure you know how a home is positioned before you fall in love. It’s little things like that—the lived experiences—that make a difference.
Funny enough, my best friend’s cousin bought that dream home of ours, and they’re still living there. (Ask me to see the photo album of the build sometime—it’s so cool!) That entire experience lit a spark in me. While Chris went to work each day, I acted as our general contractor. It was a challenge, an adventure, and the beginning of my deep love for homes and architecture. That passion eventually led me to real estate, where I found my true calling.
My approach is simple: honesty, expertise, and a genuine desire to help. I’m not a salesperson—I’m your advocate. I make sure you know the good, the bad, and the "hmm, maybe not" of every property, so you can make the best decision for your heart and your finances.
Beyond real estate, I’m all about new adventures. I’ve been flying in small planes and helicopters since I was 16 (still in awe every time I’m in the air, soundtrack on, eyes wide). I stay involved in my community—volunteering with NorthRidge Church, Open Door Ministries, and serving as the editor of my neighborhood’s monthly newsletter for our 360 homes. And when I’m not working with clients, you can find me dining at the best restaurants within flying distance of Plymouth, playing Mahjongg or dominoes, building intricate Lego creations, or whipping up something delicious to share with friends.
Helping you buy or sell your home is the icing on the cake of a life full of experiences, heart, and hustle.
Let’s connect and make your real estate dreams a reality.
You’re always at Home with Cindy
