Buy Your Next Home in Metro Detroit with Tenhave Realty
Smart Guidance. Local Expertise. New Rules That Save You Money.
Buying a home in Metro Detroit today means navigating one of the most competitive and fast-moving real estate landscapes in the country. You deserve a knowledgeable, data-driven agent who understands every micro-market — Royal Oak, Berkley, Birmingham, Ferndale, Troy, Bloomfield, Grosse Pointe, Downriver, Westland, Canton, and more.
Tenhave Realty was built specifically for Southeast Michigan buyers who want experience without the corporate fluff, local insight without pressure, and clarity in a new rule environment where smart buyer representation matters more than ever.
Why Work With a Buyer’s Agent in Metro Detroit?
Across Metro Detroit, inventory is tight, prices fluctuate neighborhood by neighborhood, and homes can sell within hours. A strong buyer’s agent protects you from overpaying, missing hidden problems, or losing out to stronger offers.
Here’s what smart Metro Detroit buyers get when they work with Tenhave Realty:
✓ Real-Time Neighborhood Analytics
Royal Oak behaves differently than Ferndale. Birmingham pricing isn’t Berkley pricing. We give you hyper-local insights so you know what a home is really worth.
✓ Strategy for Fast, Competitive Markets
Homes in the Woodward Corridor, Grosse Pointe, and Plymouth/Canton areas can go pending within days. We help you write offers that win without paying more than you need to.
✓ Protection Under the New Commission Rules
With changing industry regulations, buyers must understand how agent compensation works more clearly than ever.
We walk you through your options so you stay protected and informed from the first showing to closing day.
✓ Skilled Negotiation — Start to Finish
Inspection issues, appraisal gaps, occupancy negotiations — our experience protects your bottom line and reduces your stress.
✓ A Guide Who Actually Knows Metro Detroit
Not a national franchise. Not an agent juggling dozens of clients. You get a seasoned broker with nearly two decades of experience and deep knowledge of Southeast Michigan neighborhoods.
