miOaklandCounty.com is Oakland County Michigan’s original real estate blog.
Maureen Francis
Maureen is a Birmingham native, though she lived in Europe for nearly a decade. She is the voice behind this blog. When she is not out helping clients, she likes to travel, read and garden. She sits on the Village of Beverly Hills Zoning Board of Appeals and is involved in her neighborhood association, committees at the board of Realtors, and other community volunteer efforts. Maureen is also a tech geek of sorts, and she likes finding new technologies that will help sell her client’s homes faster. Another top producing Realtor in Birmingham recently called Maureen “the most tech savvy real estate marketer” in Oakland County.
Dmitry Koublitsky
Dmitry, a newly minted US citizen, moved here from Ukraine, where the couple met. His background is in foreign policy. His current obsession is cars. Just ask him about his Chrysler 300, but be sure you have lots of time. Dmitry is also very passionate about providing outstanding advocacy for his clients. He is a strong negotiator and he really protects his clients’ interests. He holds a real estate broker’s license.
Our Muse
Life revolves around a three year old precocious beam of sunshine named Katya. Katya will likely stage a coup d’etat before she turns thirty. She is in preschool at Pierce Elementary.
Our Company
A broker is like a partner to a Realtor, and the partnership we’ve chosen is with SKBK Sotheby’s International. While Sotheby’s is new to the Michigan real estate market, we’re more than impressed by the marketing support and exposure we are able to offer our clients.
Birmingham-Bloomfield Realtor Network
We are proud to be founding members of the Birmingham-Bloomfield Realtor Network, a cooperative of 9 top producing agents from competing leading real estate offices. This group meets monthly to network, discuss client needs and share ideas on the market. We work together to create unique marketing events to promote each other and our listings.
