Reviews
“As an out of state investor, I feel very lucky to have found Jeff early on in my search in the Ann Arbor area. I could tell pretty quickly that he is very knowledgable in the investment space. He gave me a lot of advice about surrounding markets.
He was very patient while I decided where to start. Then when we found the ideal investment property, his experience and knowledge was evident in negotiating the deal. Throughout the process he was very thorough and responsive. He went the extra steps necessary to win the deal and close the deal despite some interesting criteria with this particular property. This including communicating with the building department, etc.
He is also a delight to work with. I look forward to closing more deals with Jeff and highly recommend him to fellow investors.”

“We had a great purchase experience with Jeff for an investment property.
We worked with him remotely, and never got to meet him in person, but still felt well-connected.
He was very responsive and knowledgeable of the Ann Arbor community. Would definitely use him again.”
— Rebecca Breen
Working with Jeff Roth to purchase our property was the best decision we made. He was responsive and attentive, incredibly knowledgeable about market trends and local communities, and endlessly patient showing properties and answering questions. It was evident he genuinely cared about finding the right home for each family, and knew how to make that happen. The transaction was efficient, but not rushed. He also had a great network of people who were able to handle the details smoothly for us, including a few curveballs we did not expect.
— Christine
“From the very beginning, Jeff was professional, up-front, and very detailed in helping us through the process and telling us exactly what we needed to do. He was extremely helpful during the negotiation process with the banks. Even after we moved out of the country, he was able to keep us posted on the process, and advising us on what needed to do be done to get the deal to close while we were out of the country. We were really blessed to have him as our agent during the process and would highly recommend him to anyone for their real estate needs
