Yesterday I spent a few hours sitting at a booth at the Birmingham Farmers Market with Rebecca Meisner from Weir Manuel. Our group, the Birmingham Bloomfield Realtors Network, is a sponsor of the market this year.
One of the people who stopped by to chat with us picked up my card and said “If I see a Sotheby’s sign, I know I can’t afford the house.”
Phew! Most likely, NOT TRUE.
Yes, our Sotheby’s office is fortunate to have many gracious luxury homes amongst our listings. Some of Oakland County’s finest homes have been sold by Sotheby’s agents.
But our Sotheby’s office serves all segments of the market, from rentals going for $1,000 a month, up to $10,000,000 lake front estates. I think the distinction is that our Sotheby’s agents strive to offer exceptional service and superior market knowledge to whomever we represent, regardless of the price range.
You may see a lot of SKBK Sotheby’s signs in Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills, but you will also find plenty of them in Royal Oak, Troy, Beverly Hills, Berkley, and throughout Metro Detroit.

That was something I always put together – Sotheby’s listing and extremely expensive. But I have seen some Sotheby’s listings for homes/condos that are not-so-extreme in the pricing area. My parents are wanting to sell their home. I told them about you — they live in the older section of Bloomfield North Estates. Which I think is actually called something different. They’re looking to downgrade into a condo, but they aren’t sure how to proceed. Just a lot of looking. My dad showed me a condo yesterday that he and my mother are interested in … it’s off Square Lake just before the 75 onramp going north.

Thanks for telling your parents about me Ben. You know I just sold a house in their neighborhood. I would be delighted to talk to them about their plans.
