This is my second experience dealing with Greeks in Detroit. It's been bad. Mike Ismail charged me $150 to remove a lockbox from my house. He calculated numbers in what it would take to sell my home and got the math wrong.
I dealt with a realtor named Faith Blythe who only charged me $15 for her services. Mike Ismail made the excuse it was for photos as to why the numbers were so high.
Don't do business with Greeks or Arabs in Detroit. They are causing too much problems in the city with their business practices.

I wish I could give them 1 star. Dave Abdullah and Mike Ismail from Century 21 have shown themselves to be completely untrustworthy and unethical in their business practices. During my recent experience trying to buy a house in Livonia, the listing agent, Mike Ismail, misrepresented the condition of the property, claiming it required hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs to dissuade potential buyers and lower the offers. He even went as far as to provide fabricated foundation repair estimates. After these manipulations, he ended up purchasing the house himself for $275,500 by merely offering $500 over the final bid and is now listing it for $500,000 after only minimal improvements.
In discussing the sale with Mike, he confirmed that he did not pay the customary 6% real estate commission, which unfairly advantaged him in the transaction. Dave, when confronted, was fully aware of these actions and allowed them to proceed under his supervision. This behavior not only violates ethical standards but undermines the trust required in real estate transactions. I strongly advise anyone looking to engage in real estate dealings to steer clear of these agents. Just because someone has a long history in the industry doesn't mean they are the best choice for your real estate needs. Update 5/20/2024 Mike Ismail the crook sold the property for $475,000 making a clear $200,000 for his pocket due to his unethical dealings and business practice I blame his boss Dave who condones and accepts this behavior

We are currently searching locations to open 5 more restaurants in Warren, Novi, Dearborn and the surrounding areas. That being said, I would never use or recommend your agency in the future. Ali Charara has been nothing but unprofessional and impossible to work with. We will make sure that we let our corporate office know how your agency deals with prospects and to ensure other prospective franchises do NOT USE you. So disappointing.

A friend referred us to Valarie Arington and we are so happy we went with her. She worked with us over the past year help us find the house that was perfect for us. Even our inspector, the listing agent for the sellers, and anyone else that she spoke with said she was amazing to work with as well.

Maria Lacaria came through for me, held me together when I was ready to fold because of this crazy market! But finally we found a beautiful home that I just love! I'm thankful for your skills and knowledge on setting up the perfect contract... and thank you Bella Maria for pushing me past the goal line!! Also, thank you so much to Joe and Darrell for watching over me like I was their top priority.

If you are looking for a realtor that will make you a priority, look no further! Maria Lacaria Rauti and her team are who you definitely want on your side. It only took me one month to find a home and close on it! I could call, email and text her whenever I had questions. She dropped what she was doing and would drive 40 minutes out of her way just so that I could see a home and decide I didn't like it (I felt horrible about that by the way) but herself as well as her lender never made me feel like I was a bother, rather their top priority.

Kelly Cassise was a great co-op agent to work with on a recent transaction in Madison Heights. She represented the seller and was thorough in her communication and follow-up. We made it to the closing table with a smooth experience for both of our clients, and I hope to do more business with her in the future! Thank you! - Erica Hendren, Thrive Realty Co

Abdulilah Adjabur scheduled a showing late Saturday evening for a12:45 showing on EASTER Sunday. My Seller was shocked that they scheduled it on such a day. She complied thinking they must be very interested. She and her family adjusted their plans accordingly and left the home for the viewing. At 12:50 a cancellation is sent. Buyers schedule changed. My Seller was beyond upset. It might not be the Agent or the Buyers religious holiday but it was theirs. To cancel after the fact was rude and unprofessional. They had to know their schedule in advance. Posted for my Seller
