Real Estate Success Stories

Martin did an outstanding job selling our house. He did his research for the best price and the house sold in the first weekend. I would whole heartedly recommend Martin to sell your home.

Very professional and successful at selling my condo for a great price.

Emily Russell was such an awesome partner on our home buying journey here in Ann Arbor. We ended up buying a new-build and Emily was with us through the entire process from contract, to design, to weekly updates, to inspections, to closing - nearly a year! She's extremely knowledgeable about the market and has incredible attention to detail, particularly with a new-build scenario. We feel very fortunate to have found Emily. She's not just a great agent, she's a really wonderful person.

Jeremy was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the home buying process as a first-time buyer. He was prompt in answering questions and kept a high level of professionalism and transparency throughout. I especially appreciated his knowledge of the area, including helpful contacts in financing and inspections. Overall I am very happy with the condominium we settled on, and I would certainly recommend him to others interested in purchasing in the Ann Arbor area.

Selling a home is a challenge. Having a stellar realtor makes it a stress-free event. Bouma Realtors are a talented, extremely knowledgeable firm for buying or selling real estate. Their core concepts of clarity and knowledge about real estate values is foundational-they do the research and coach sellers on how to best address the myriad issues that come up along the journey.

Mary Jo Hahn was an absolute brick during our recent sale. She pointed out our strong points and helped us address any deficiencies that could have stalled the progress. She had a fantastic list of vetted experts to address issues that inevitably crop up, i.e. a superstar house cleaner, a really handy handyman in a pinch, and other folks we might need going forward. She was always on top of the project from beginning to successful sale at the end. She gave us clear, do-able advice when asked and helped us keep focused on what the outcome could be.

She was always responsive to our questions and gave us good suggestions to consider when issues popped up. Our property was correctly positioned to get the best price even though we missed the best window for premium exposure to buyers. Our “open-house” event had an amazing turnout and provided helpful insights about how our property was viewed and some small tweaks we could make to seal the deal.

We sold as quickly as she predicted. Would I work with her again? In a heart-beat! Knowledgeable, focused and clear-headed-she was just the right realtor to meet our challenges.

Mary Jo is a gem! You won't find a better realtor in the Ann Arbor area. She was communicative, understanding, and turned a difficult property into a successful sale in no time.

Working with Emily was one of the most positive experiences in buying a house. I’ve been searching for years for a home and have dealt with a few different agents and she was by far the best! She was NOT pushy. She gave me the space I needed but continued to follow up, which was my request (Me personally- I did not like when previous agents would send me multiple links for houses, it’s overwhelming). She was very accommodating and explained everything. When it came to provide the EMD, she was there to take my call as I was very hesitant and wanted to make sure I would not lose that money.

She kept me updated along the way of purchasing my first home. I highly recommend her!

I had a great experience working with Jeremy and his team throughout the purchase of my new home. As a first-time homebuyer, there were a lot of parts of the process that were new to me, but Jeremy made everything easy to understand and was always available to answer questions along the way.

The entire process was smooth, straightforward, and far less stressful than I expected. Jeremy was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and made sure I always knew what to expect next. I really appreciated the communication and support from him and the entire office from start to finish.

I would absolutely recommend Jeremy and his team to anyone looking to purchase a home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience buying my first home!

Bouma Group has their system down! Mary Jo Hahn was so customer friendly, professional, encouraging and accommodating. Always available to address my needs and answer questions. I bought my last condo through Bouma and ended up selling it through Bouma. You can't go wrong with them!

I first met Brittany at an open house I casually wandered into on a lazy, hot summer Saturday afternoon. We exchanged the usual pleasantries, and I left my contact information. Within 48 hours, she followed up with me — the first agent to do so after I had attended quite a few viewings over the previous few months. She also added me to her house-alert list. I got a great feeling about her, and when a listing caught my eye, I contacted her immediately.

As a first-time homebuyer, I was completely overwhelmed and had no idea how to navigate the quagmire of buying a house. Brittany was my star quarterback and made the whole process so much easier.

She was knowledgeable, professional, transparent, incredibly responsive, and an absolute joy to work with. I never felt like I had to chase her for updates or worry about things falling through the cracks. Most importantly, she was genuinely empathetic and could tell when I was feeling overwhelmed. She constantly reassured me that my comfort came first and that we could walk away if something didn't feel right. I never once felt pressured or rushed.

Even after closing, she was still available to help troubleshoot an issue that came up. That really says a lot about the kind of person she is.

I highly, highly recommend Brittany! She made what could have been a very stressful first-home-buying experience genuinely enjoyable.

Brittany Pegeron was a great asset when going through the process of purchasing an apartment in Ann Arbor. She was very patient in answering our many questions and was very knowledgeable about the building. She was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns. I would not hesitate to use her again. She was great—friendly and personable.

We are so glad we found Emily Russell at The Bouma Group! She was super attentive to all our questions as first-time homebuyers. The tools she provided us access to were very user-friendly and her knowledge of the market ultimately lead to us finding a great home we are thrilled to have closed on! Emily provided great suggestions throughout the offer-making, inspections, and negotiation process, and with Emily I truly believe we got the best experience we could have gotten anywhere.

I recently worked with Jack to buy my home through the Bouma group. Jack is an incredibly knowledgeable and patient person. He always had our best interest in mind and took the time to understand what our needs and wants were in a new home as we were expanding our family. He has a very sharp eye for things on initial walkthroughs as well which was very helpful in understanding the full picture of moving forward towards next steps or moving onward. When it came to writing offers, he gave us some great ideas that made our offer pop in a competitive market. I highly recommend Jack to anyone looking in the greater Ann Arbor area. Thank you Jack, and thank you Bouma Group for helping us navigate the waters to our new home.

I had a wonderful experience with the Bouma Group! I worked with Emily Russell and she was fantastic - answered all of my questions, helped me feel comfortable during the whole process, and was available and quick to respond when I needed help. It was a great experience, and I definitely recommend working with her!

Emily was great to work with when looking for our first home! She walked us through each part of the process and provided really helpful advice and ways to understand the different terms and components of the process. She helped us build a competitive offer that ultimately got us our house and made everything happen for us in a short closing window. We would definitely recommend working with Emily and the Bouma Group!

As first-time home buyers, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Emily Russell. She was a tremendous help from start to finish, guiding us through multiple listing offers until we finally found the perfect home.

Emily walked us through the entire offer process and gave us smart, strategic advice on next steps that ultimately got our offer accepted. She also connected us with a qualified loan officer and home inspector, which made the whole experience so much smoother.

Throughout the process, Emily was always available to answer our calls and questions, no matter how many we had. She is kind, reliable, and trustworthy — exactly what you want in a realtor, especially as a first-time buyer.

We will absolutely be using Emily again for any future real estate needs, and we highly recommend her to our friends and family. Thank you, Emily!

Emily Russell was a great realtor to work with. Very knowledgeable about the area, took the time to understand our needs and always had our best interests in mind. She was quick to respond to questions and concerns so I never worried she wouldn’t get back to me. She made the home buying process easier because it can be stressful. I would wholeheartedly recommend the whole Bouma team and especially Emily.

Working with Emily was an excellent experience from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive and always quick to answer questions throughout the entire home-buying process. I am a first time home buyer so I was very nervous, but she definitely put my mind at ease. Emily was very professional and personable which made the process much less stressful. She was super easy to work with and went above and beyond to help me find the right home. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking to buy a home.

We had a great experience working with Mary Jo and the Bouma Group team to sell our house. We were on a tight timeline, and they helped us quickly identify what was actually worth spending time and effort on to make our home as marketable as possible. Their advice was practical and made the whole process feel much less overwhelming, and they were right!

From start to finish, communication was excellent. There was always someone available to answer questions or keep us updated, and having an entire team supporting us made everything run smoothly.

When it came time to review offers, Mary Jo took the time to understand our specific situation and helped us negotiate the offer that made the most sense for our goals.

Selling a home can be stressful, but they made the experience as seamless as possible. We highly recommend Mary Jo and the Bouma Group team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you!

We chose the Bouma Group because they sell high end homes in the Ann Arbor area. They did not disappoint understanding our circumstance (death in the family). Mary Jo came in and was extremely professional, not pushy, and saw the potential for the house right away. They had amazing photos of the house, and the house was sold within a day and a half of being listed. Mary Jo's entire team was professional, courteous, and on time with everything required to make this the most pleasant experience in a difficult time.

We highly recommend the Bouma Group for any sales regardless of the price of your home.

Jeremy was great about keeping in touch with us while we were exploring the area. He understood the situation we were coming from and what we were looking for in Ann Arbor. He found us the perfect home in our target neighborhood, so that we were able to offer before the home was listed at a price we felt good about. Jeremy answered questions promptly, respected our timeline, and put us in touch with the colleagues that could facilitate our buying process. We recommend him and are happy return-clients to the Martin Bouma Group.

Really enjoyed working with Jeremy! We purchase our first house with his help - He was always responsive with our many questions. If he wasn’t available to go to a viewing with us, he helped find backup. Once we found a house, he answered all our texts/emails about the house and if he didn’t have an answer, he made the effort to figure it out in a very timely manner. We wanted to redo floors before we had possession of the house and Jeremy help make arrangements with the seller so that we could go to the house and get quotes & made an effort to be there in person too. Highly recommend working with Jeremy at Bouma group!

Jack McGreal was great to work with. Knowledgeable about local market, patient and listened to our needs. Highly recommend. From our initial contact to close Jack was professional and attentive.

Stephanie did an amazing job throughout the entire process. From the initial meeting, to showings, understanding what her client wanted & helping that vision come true. In addition her responsiveness was second to none & was beyond professional. If you’re looking for a home in the Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti area & beyond you could not have a better realtor than Stephanie.

We worked with Jeremy Juday of the Bouma Group to purchase our home. Jeremy did a top notch job in assisting us with our home purchase. We were moving from out of state and were not able to visit prospective homes in person, but his communication skills, responsiveness, and knowledge of the local real estate market helped mitigate challenges presented by that. Additionally, there were some unforeseen obstacles presented from the seller's side that he was able to navigate us through. Overall, we feel fortunate to have had Jeremy recommended to us and will be happy to recommend him to others going forward!

Jack did an excellent job showing us houses, helped keep us from taking on problems we didn't need, found us plenty of options in our price range, and was really easy to work with!

I recently sold my home—a decision I wasn’t excited about—but Mary Jo made the whole process much easier. Her honesty and clear guidance were exactly what I needed during a difficult time, and she was always quick to respond and keep me informed. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone selling their home.

We had the pleasure of working with Jeremy Juday on the purchase of an investment property in Ann Arbor's Old West Side, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.

Jeremy is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly attentive to his clients' needs. From our first conversation through closing, he was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and keep us informed throughout every step of the process. His communication was exceptional, and we always felt supported and confident in our decisions.

Jeremy took the time to understand our investment goals and consistently brought opportunities to our attention that aligned with our criteria. He provided valuable insight into the local market, helped us evaluate properties objectively, and offered thoughtful advice that enabled us to make informed decisions throughout the process.

We especially appreciated Jeremy's attention to detail, strong relationships within the Ann Arbor real estate community, and willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate our schedule. His knowledge of neighborhoods, including the Old West Side, was invaluable and helped us identify the right investment opportunity.

What truly sets Jeremy apart is his commitment to his clients. He works tirelessly to ensure a smooth transaction and is always focused on achieving the best possible outcome. We highly recommend Jeremy and the Bouma Group to anyone looking to buy a home or investment property in the Ann Arbor area. We would gladly work with Jeremy again.

We worked with Martin and the Bouma Team twice now. Our second time was selling our home and although there were complicated offers Martin explained everything and always allowed us to look at all of the angles and in the end everything went perfectly once again! On the sale of our condo and it was an amazing experience! From the first step to the final step everyone was very communicative and thorough. They made the entire experience positive, stress free and easy. We highly recommend them!

Emily Russell is truly a gem. We relocated to Ann Arbor and found Emily about 6 months later to start the house hunting process. We were not first time buyers and felt we knew confidently what we were looking for, we quickly realized we knew less about the Ann Arbor market than we thought. Emily was patient, knowledgeable and an invaluable asset in our house hunt. We were so lucky to work with her and we highly recommend her to anyone buying a home in the Ann Arbor area, whether you're new to town or a longtime resident.

We worked with Emily Russell, who was essential to finding and purchasing our home! She was always ready to answer any questions we had and was helpful in shepherding us through the entire process. We especially appreciated her knowledge of the local market when making our offer on the home. I would recommend Emily to anyone looking for a home in the Ann Arbor area.

Mary Jo was a pleasure to work with. She is professional, extremely attentive and responsive, she is very easy to get ahold of and seemed to work around the clock to get me the best outcome. She gave me great advice to maximize my homes value and sell it quickly for a good price. Her marketing team was highly proactive and produced some excellent advertisements for my home. Ultimately, I was very pleased to have an offer for full asking price within 24 hours of opening of showing. I highly recommend working with Mary Jo and the Bouma Group.

Working with the Bouma group was an absolute pleasure! Mary Jo was My listing agent for a property in Ann Arbor, Michigan. From the first conversation until the closing, I was well taken care of and a carefully thought out strategy was implemented to maximize the things that mattered most to me as a seller.

Our communication was extremely transparent and when challenges inevitably arised I was given timely and accurate advice to make the best decision.

I would highly recommend working with this agency if you are looking to sell a home! Thank you, Mary Jo and the Bouma group.

Jack is very near and dear to my heart. His expertise in the local real estate markets allowed him to help me find the perfect home in an area I very feel welcomed. Jack was responsive to all my needs even when I felt overwhelmed in the home buying process. He is calm, cool, and collected at the negotiation table and always had my best interest's in mind. His honesty and open-mindedness helped me set expectations and was always willing to explore new ideas. His expert knowledge helped answer all my questions and made me feel very welcomed at the Bouma Group. I would recommend Jack to anyone looking to buy a home in the Ann Arbor and greater Detroit area.

I've purchased houses with Bouma group two times now, and each time I've had great experiences with them. In the recent time, Jack was my agent, and he helped make the process much nicer and easier. He was extremely responsive and pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend Bouma group.

Stef was great to work with! As first time home buyers, she walked us through everything and made the experience very positive for us. She was always very easy to get in contact with and made herself available to us at all times.

The BOUMA Group is a wonderful company to work with when buying or selling a home. Mary Jo Hahn guided me through the selling process, Jack McGreal and Jeremy Juday assisted me in the buying process and Kandace Fredrick kept the financing on track with both properties. Kelly Stone kept it all together in the front office…. Wow! I can’t say enough about what a great experience I had.
It was quite by accident that I met this fabulous team because I knew nothing about any Ann Arbor realty company. This should be your first choice for any realty needs.

We just sold our home and cannot say enough great things about Mary Jo and the Bouma team! From start to finish, she was communicative, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. We got a great price and the whole process was quick, smooth, and low stress. Selling a home can feel overwhelming, but Mary Jo made it feel effortless. She exceeded our expectations at every turn. We would recommend her absolutely, without hesitation. Thank you, Mary Jo and the Bouma team!

Our experience with Mary Jo Hahn and her team at The Bouma Group including Kelly & Candace were wonderful from start to finish . We had so many offers and she guided us in the right direction to the perfect Sale thru to closing went very smooth!

Bouma Group sold my house with higher than Zillow price right after open house.

We absolutely loved working with Emily Russell! She was quick to send us listings we loved, was always eager to write an offer, and always made sure we felt comfortable taking our time through our house search. We trusted Emily completely and she made our closing process so easy. We had a quick close (less than two weeks between open house to closing day!!!) and she was always one step ahead. We highly recommend working with Emily for your house search!

Jack McGreal went above and beyond to help us find the perfect house in Ann Arbor. We were from out of state and he conducted several video walkthroughs which were most helpful of both condos and small ranch homes so we would have options to consider. He also solved touch problems such as negotiating a contingency offer which made of r a complex closing. He was always responsive and available and answered all our calls and written communications promptly. He knew about the neighborhood where we live now and was always proactive in helping us find that dream home. He made the often stressful process smooth and easy. Working with Jack was the best decision we made. We trusted him completely from start to finish. We recommend him highly!

We purchased our first home from out of state (several hours away) with The Bouma Group, specifically, Emily Russell, and we highly recommend their services. Emily is professional, kind, and very experienced. She guided us through several challenging and unique scenarios in purchasing our home and we could not have done it without her! We also greatly appreciated Kandace Fredrick, of the closing department, for her helping us close on our home!

When my brother decided to sell his home, we searched for a reputable agent and found exactly that in Mary Jo Hahn and the Bouma Group. From our very first meeting, Mary Jo stood out by providing a comprehensive market analysis and walking us through the pros and cons of each offer, which made us feel confident in every decision we made. Within hours of our Open House, we received five competitive offers, and thanks to Mary Jo’s guidance, we secured a sale price that exceeded our initial expectations.

The Bouma Group’s dedicated team, including Kelly and Kandace, consistently went above and beyond by responding promptly and managing every detail with remarkable efficiency. We confidently recommend Mary Jo Hahn and the Bouma Group to anyone buying or selling property in the greater Ann Arbor area, and we are extremely satisfied with our experience.

The Bouma Group, specifically our realtor Jeremy Juday, did a fantastic job ushering my partner and I through the home-buying process. Jeremy was responsive, helpful, and detail-oriented from start to finish and helped us land our dream home in a competitive market. As first time home buyers, we often felt intimidated by the process but Jeremy ensured we were well-supported the whole way through.

Jeremy helped us buy a house in Ann Arbor and he was great—he got a sense if what we were looking for right away and helped get us in to all the houses we were interested in as soon as they were on the market. He helped us write great offers, and had a bunch of tricks to make even low offers stand out. With his help we got our dream house!

Working with Mary Jo from the Bouma Group in Ann Arbor, MI was a fantastic experience. She handled the listing process with professionalism and care, ensuring everything was presented at its best. The property sold within just a few days of being listed, which speaks volumes about her expertise and market knowledge.

Mary Jo was always available to answer questions and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. Beyond her professionalism, she is genuinely kind and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thanks again Mary Jo and the entire crew!

We also worked with Mary Jo to sell our previous home. Mary Jo was wonderful throughout the process of selling our home. She was very personable, saw what made our house special to us and a potential buyer. Mary Jo was very informative and helpful during the home search process. She and all her colleagues at the Bouma Group answered all our questions swiftly and were very accommodating to our schedule. Selling our home was very daunting, but Mary Jo made us feel comfortable at every step. We definitely recommend working with Bouma Group for your home purchase!

As a first-time home buyer, I was extremely nervous about the home buying process. Emily was always available to answer any questions that I had. She was helpful from the beginning to the end. I appreciated Emily’s expertise and insights throughout the process. After my offer was accepted, the entire Bouma Group team was outstanding. They prepared me for next steps and were by my side until I closed. I am so appreciative of Emily and the entire team!

We have enjoyed working with Jack McGreal since day one! We told him the areas we were interested in and he worked diligently in keeping us updated on up coming sales. He even went door to door seeking potential sellers! Jack listened to our requirements and was in constant contact with us up to the closing and after! Thank you Jack, we appreciate you and will highly recommend you!

This group helped us purchase our first home. We felt like we were in such good hands with Emily and Adam, and we found the perfect home for our little family in Ann Arbor, something we previously didn’t think possible. So happy and excited for our new home!

I would recommend Emily to anyone looking to buy a house. She toured many, many houses with us and even agreed to help us when we decided to change our initial search area. Emily is very knowledgeable and always points out any major issues a home may have. I felt very confident with the process of putting in an offer, going through inspection, and closing with Emily at our side. She was patient, kind, and someone I enjoyed spending time with throughout the whole process!

We had an excellent experience working with Emily Russell. From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping us achieve our goals. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and her expertise in the market was invaluable. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We worked with Jeremy for the purchase of our home. He was awesome during the entire process. We enjoyed working with him and the Bouma Group because of the prompt responses and flexibility to meet our family's busy schedule. Jeremy was very informative and helpful during the home search process. He worked quickly and efficiently during the transaction/purchase process and was great at answering all of our questions. We definitely recommend working with Jeremy Juday and the Bouma Group for your home purchase.

Huge thanks to the Bouma Group—especially Stef and Kandace—for making our closing go so smoothly. They were patient, quick to answer questions, and stayed on top of every detail. Prompt clear communication made the whole process fast and smooth :)

Working with Emily throughout the buying and home searching process was great. For someone who came in with little knowledge of the home buying process at all she was there to help every step of the way. She knew the home buying areas I was looking in, and was able to help narrow down the search with her knowledge. Emily always was super responsive, always stayed in touch and took the time to respond to any questions or info needed. Along with working around my schedule, she had a great attitude making the process as easy as it could be for me. For anyone looking to buy in the Ann Arbor area, I couldn't recommend Emily and the Bouma Group enough!

Mary Jo, my realtor and Kandace in the closing department, were both excellent communicators and were very professional thru the entire process. Mary Jo had our best interest at heart and was never pushy but always informative about the current market.

We highly recommend Bouma Realtors to anyone looking to sell their home. Our agent, Mary Jo Hahn is an experienced and highly expert sellers’ realtor. From the moment we interviewed her we knew Mary Jo was a rare find. We can’t say enough about both her and her entire support team. Within one week, and just after our open house, we sold our long term home above asking and closed in mid December 2025. Thank you Bouma Realtors!

Emily was the best agent I've ever worked with. I didn't really know what I wanted but she helped narrow down the selection, kept me organized and checked in with me frequently. I loved her temperament, she was stern when she needed to be but gentle and empathetic at the same time. Her and her circle of contacts worked quickly and efficiently together. This wasn't the first home buying experience for me but even with some bumps along the way on the seller side, she was able to keep things rolling. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy and I hope to work with her again in the future.

After having my home languish on the market for months, Mary Jo Hahn of The Bouma Group sold my house within a week! She is a consummate professional and has an amazing team - together they executed a well-planned strategy that created a ton of interest, plenty of showings and multiple offers- all within the first week of listing! I highly recommend Mary Jo and The Bouma Group. I will be back the next time I have a real estate transaction!

Emily Russell was a true partner throughout our search for a "forever home". She was super responsive and knowledgable about the area, and she was always willing to go the extra mile to help us make an informed decision. We've spoken so highly of her, my Mother-in-Law is working with her now, too!

Emily Russell, of The Bouma Group Realtors, was amazing throughout our entire buying & closing process. Our challenge was being an out of state buyer and she handle that not so easy situation with ease. She juggled her schedule and made it all happen so we could see what we needed to see. So easy n kind to work with. Choose Emily & you will have a great buying experience.

We worked with Emily Russell as first time home buyers and had such a wonderful experience.

What could have felt overwhelming ended up being completely manageable because of her knowledge and support.

My wife and I worked with Mary Jo Hahn and she was phenomenal! She made the process super easy and informative. Provided a ton of great resources to makesure we were setup for a successful first time home purchase. Will be recommending to friends!

We met with Mary Jo Hahn at the recommendation of friends for whom she had just sold a home. We knew at out first meeting that she was the right person to lead the sale of our parent's home! Mary Jo made some excellent recommendations to prepare our home for listing; we took all of Mary Jo's advise (and her excellent resource of truly outstanding local service providers!) and made every suggested improvement. The home looked absolutely beautiful when we went to list. From preparing to list to closing, we felt wonderfully supported in the very capable hands of Mary Jo and her Bouma team of Kelly Stone and Kandace Frederick. We always felt respected, heard and understood and they were always available to help answer questions and guide us. We felt as though we had a friend in our corner. We were very satisfied with the final transaction and would highly recommend Mary Jo and the Bouma Group to anyone wanting to list their home.

We had the best experience working with Jack as he was always approachable and confident when he did the research for us. I told him that i am interested in the property and he right away agreed to do the showing and worked alongside with us as one team.He made sure we knew the details and always respected our offer and supported us. He was the part of every process from showing to the closing and made it easy for us. Thank you Jack it was a great pleasure to work with you!

Emily is hands down the best realtor. She is so genuine, kind, professional, and responsive on everything. She made the buying process an absolute breeze. Emily always made sure all of our questions were answered and made sure to keep all other parties involved in the process on track and informed. I can not recommend Emily enough. I will recommend Emily to everyone I know! When it comes time for me to buy my next house, Emily is who I am going back to. She has gained a customer for life. The entire Bouma Group is amazing. As a first time home buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better team or realtor to help me along with this process. I wish I could put into words what Emily and the Bouma Group did for me but all I can say is Thank you so so much. They welcomed me into the area and made this place already feel like home💙

The whole group was outstanding to work with. Never had any problems seeing a house, no matter how many I asked to see. Very prompt with information for all the many question I had. Couldn't ask for a better group to work with. Thank you.

My agent Jack is a wonderful guy to help me. We went through all steps with friendly, promptly, professionally, knowledgeable skill that lead me to finish all the procedures in every aspect of my question and concerns that made hold purchases finished perfectly. Thanks Jack.

We had the pleasure of working with sales associate Jeremy Juday. Jeremy was phenomenal, he sent us daily links to listing that fit our criteria, was knowledgeable about the market, and promptly responded to any emails or voicemails. Jeremy treated us like friends instead of like customers. We recommend Jeremy and the Bouma Group without reservation.

Emily at The Bouma Group was wonderful to work with!! As first-time homebuyers, we had lots of questions about the process & area, and Emily was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive throughout. She listened carefully to our needs and preferences, and guided us towards the best options without pressure. We highly recommended Emily for anyone looking for a positive home-buying experience in the area.

Mary Jo Hahn is a professional, realistic, detail & results oriented, and positive energy Realtor. My Mom moved into an Independent Living facility in September 2024 so we needed to sell the house that my Mom and Dad built in 1997. Our Family had many wonderful memories in that house and there were 88 years of accumulated treasures that had to be moved out.

I live in Midland, MI and was unfamiliar with the Real Estate scene in Ypsilanti, so I interviewed 6 local Realtors to find the best one that satisfied my requirements of getting the most money for the house and selling it within 1 month. Mary Jo’s realtor experience, successful sales history in Ypsilanti, assessment of Mom’s house & market conditions, recommendations for house preparations, strategic marketing plan (website, social media, professional photography, open house, etc.), communication plan, schedule, sales support team organization, digital lockbox, and extensive list of vendors to help prepare mom’s house for sale differentiated Mary Jo from the competition.

I leveraged the Carpet Cleaner, Window Repair, and Landscaper from Mary Jo’s extensive very helpful vendor list. Mary Jo had a realistic perspective of the value of house in the current uncertain chaotic economic environment that we find ourselves in along with the time of year the house was being listed and proposed a listing price that would sell the house in 1 month.

The sales support team was outstanding. Kelly Stone and Kandace Fredrick were very helpful and would always pick up my calls on the first ring and have answers for my long-distance questions. The professional photographs & videos on social media sites were outstanding.

As Mom’s house was on the market for almost one month, we didn’t have an offer, so I met with Mary Jo to determine a price reduction. Right before we were going to lower the price, we got an offer for slightly less than the asking price. I consulted with Mary Jo and decided to accept the offer. Everything went exactly as planned with no surprises. For the Closing, Mary Jo made arrangements to meet at Mom’s Apartment for her signatures. The cherry on top of outstanding client service on this journey was the most excellent gift for Mom, a hard cover photo album of Mom’s house. Mom loved it. This was the perfect ending for Mom’s home.

Mary Jo and the Bouma Team exceeded all my realtor expectations, and I highly recommend them for your realtor needs! They have strongly demonstrated their Real Estate expertise in Ypsilanti.

Thanks so very, very, very much, have a wonderful day, and keep up the awesome work

Emily Russell was AWESOME to work with! She was so communicative, responsive and knowledgeable. Our process took 6 months and she was with us all the way! Thanks, Emily!

Martin Bouma leads The Bouma Group with professionalism and dedication in Angell. His team is recognized for their local expertise and results-driven approach.

Clients highlight Martin’s approachable nature and his team’s reliable communication. Together, they make the process straightforward and stress-free.

The staff of the Bouma group are absolutely amazing. They operate a well-oiled machine. Everything was handled exactly as they said it would be. All my questions were handled expertly, with ease and humor. If I forgot anything, some on their staff was always available to help. My condo sold in 3 days and they took care of all the closing issues. Best experience I ever had, and I have bought and sold a number of houses in Ann Arbor in the past.

I recently found myself in the difficult position of returning to Michigan after the passing of a very dear friend. In addition to grieving her loss, I was entrusted with settling her estate, which included selling her beloved home in Ann Arbor. In that moment of need, I knew exactly who to call; The Bouma Group, because of the exceptional experience I had with them when selling my own home 18 months ago.

Once again, my journey began with Mary Jo (Listing Agent & Director of Sales). Her professionalism, patience, and warmth were exactly what I needed during such an emotional time. She brought both expertise and compassion, guiding me with care and ensuring that the process honored my friend’s home while also moving things forward smoothly.

The transition to Kelly Stone (Listing Manager) was seamless. Kelly coordinated the listing details, photography, and showings with such precision that I felt immense peace of mind knowing everything was handled thoughtfully. She captured the home beautifully in both description and images, which made the sale process feel like a respectful tribute rather than just a transaction.

Once we moved into the closing stage, I was introduced to Kandace Fredrick (Closing Manager). Kandace was extraordinary. She provided clear, step-by-step guidance through every document and detail. Her professionalism and reassuring communication made the complexities of the closing process feel manageable and smooth, even in the midst of my emotional burden.

Throughout it all, Mary Jo stayed by my side, checking in, answering every question, and ensuring that no detail was overlooked. The Bouma Group once again exceeded all expectations. They didn’t just sell a house. They supported me during a very personal and challenging time, treating me with kindness, patience, and integrity.

For anyone needing a realtor team that combines unmatched professionalism with genuine care, I can confidently say The Bouma Group is who you want by your side.

When we sold August 2025: Let me encapsulate our regard for Mary Jo's realty skills in seven words: "smart, sensible, savvy, proactive, and deeply experienced." Although we are Boomers, we never sold a house before. Rank amateurs, but chock full of questions, we peppered her with queries. She peppered us back (a good thing!) and proved willing & able to move as quickly as we could towards a successful sale. How refreshing to hear her comment on things like, "I know this buyer's agent and he wouldn't push unless it really bothered the buyer..." A positive experience all the way through the bumpy sales process. We recommend her without qualification.

When we bought in 2021: Why did we want to buy a house in Ann Arbor? That's a long story. Suffice to say that we were visiting our daughter and decided to check what was on offer in the housing market. We walked over to the first realtor we saw. It happened to be Bouma Group. What a happy piece of luck. We were teamed up with Stephanie Roberts. Another happy piece of luck.

A few days later she was piloting us through a mixed listing of condos and houses (we only had one day to shop!). A few days more and we made an offer. A few more days and now we own a house in Ann Arbor. Stephanie and the Bouma staff were engaged, efficient, and professional. They just got things done. And “getting things done” was not trivial. We were working through the inspection and closing process from 1,500 miles away. Worked like a charm. Bouma even lent us a moving truck over a weekend to move in! We could not have been more pleased.

We recently moved across the country from Arizona to the Ann Arbor area, and we could not have asked for a better realtor to guide us through such a big transition! From the very beginning, Emily was so kind and responsive. Always willing to jump on a call quickly and address our questions or concerns.

Because we were house-hunting from afar, we really valued how seamlessly she worked with us both virtually and locally. She once spent an entire day showing us homes while we were in town, which made such a difference in our crunched timeline.

When it came time to make offers, she worked very efficiently, guiding us through every step with care and professionalism. She was also incredibly patient and helpful during a difficult inspection process, which gave us peace of mind.

Her expertise, dedication, and genuine care for our family’s needs truly set her apart. Thanks to her support, we found our home (soon to be) dream home quickly. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area!

Jeremy was a great realtor and helped us find a place we love. He connected us with great partners at points in our buying journey that made everything simple for us. Recommend!

My wife and I worked with Emily Russel and she was fantastic.
After the first few houses we looked at, we had an in-depth conversation about what we were looking in our new house in terms of must-haves, possible options, and deal breakers.

Emily then tailored her search for houses that matched our descriptions to find us the right spot.
More than a general list, it felt like Emily really took the time to understand our housing needs and steer us toward the correct location.

The buying process was simple, and Emily got us in touch with everyone we needed to make the process easy. This was my first home buying experience and I felt like it was a pretty painless experience.

Emily was very helpful throughout the entire home buying process. She was a great communicator and worked around our schedule to set up tours and other meetings/visits. She was proactive in making sure the homes we were looking at fit our needs, and she helped us negotiate a price that everyone was happy with. I would recommend Emily to anyone who is looking to buy a home!

Stephanie Roberts is fantastic! She went above and beyond to help us with our relocation from California to Michigan and with our custom new build. Undoubtedly, anyone who has worked with her will agree that she is unmatched in responsiveness and diligence. Stephanie is willing to do what it takes to help her clients even when it's not something within her job description. She made a very stressful situation manageable and we are so grateful to her for that. She helped us with the new build process while we were still in California and assisted us with securing a rental home in Michigan that met all of our specific needs (and helped us through unexpected issues that arose with that home). She even handled various move-related tasks before we arrived in Michigan (including personally vacuuming and wiping down the countertops in our rental home!). We will be recommending Stephanie to all of our friends and family.

I cannot say enough about the job Mary Jo and her team did in helping me sell my home. She started off by advising me how to best prep my home for sale. The photos that her team posted online made my home look so attractive and were definitely an asset in the selling process. Finally she helped me price my unit competitively. The end result was that I received multiple offers and was able to sell at above asking price. Bouma Group helped me successfully sell and buy my homes 10 years, and they did it again. I highly recommend they take care of your real estate needs.

The Bouma Group provided a very professional, high-quality end to end sales and marketing experience in support of our condo in the summer of 2025. The photography, property staging, sales support and handling of the relatively complex documentation and closing was superb, and owner involvement and effort was minimal. From sale agreement execution with Mary Jo Hahn to listing with Kelly Stone, and closing with Kandace Frederick, the experiences were executed professionally and with minimal impact to the owners. Along the way, their support through the Fox Design and Staging Group and Preslie Hughes at State St Title made the transaction relatively simple, efficient and effective. We appreciate and applaud the group professionals and their affiliated support teams and highly recommend them to others considering the sale or purchase of properties in the Ann Arbor and surrounding areas.

Working with Mary Jo Hahn of the Bouma Group to sell my little house was a five star experience from beginning to end. As a seller with little experience myself, she made the stressful process feel less intimidating. She assuaged all my concerns, answered all questions-big and small- quickly and, most importantly, had a unique understanding of the changing market, which led me to receive what I believe to be the best price possible for my small, well-loved bungalow. To say I am happy with the outcome is an understatement. I will without hesitation work with the Bouma Group in the future and recommend them as a top notch reality group in the Ann Arbor area.

Working with Mary Jo Hahn from the Bouma Group was an absolute pleasure! From day one, her communication was off the charts — she was always quick to respond to our questions, whether by call, text, or email. Mary Jo crafted a fantastic offer for us and negotiated hard to make sure we got the best deal possible. Her professionalism, dedication, and market expertise made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Mary Jo and her team!

Mary Jo recently helped me purchase my first home - she and her team were wonderful to work with every step of the way. Being completely new to the process I'd have been lost on my own. She made it a priority to get to know me to better understand what I needed from a home and was very attentive to my thoughts on everything we looked at - before long I think she had a better sense of what I was looking for than I did. She has the kind of granular knowledge of Ann Arbor that can only come with years of experience and is well connected with other local agents. When it came time to negotiate she was direct with me about market conditions, gave clear recommendations, and was a fierce advocate for my interests. I always felt like she was putting my long term satisfaction ahead of closing a deal and she made sure I never got too far out over my skis. When it did come time to close the experience was no different. I had no idea what to expect but Mary Jo, Kandace, and the rest of the team at the Bouma Group were prepared and responsive which made the entire process incredibly smooth. When it was all said and done, I felt like I was celebrating a major milestone with a friend and not just an associate - I am so glad that I worked with Mary Jo and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Jeremy was a great partner in helping us find the perfect home. He was incredibly accommodating given that we moved from out-of-town, and helped facilitate virtual walk throughs. He took the time to show us a wide range of properties that matched our needs and preferences. His strong relationships across the local market gave us valuable insight and made us feel confident in our decision. We would gladly work with Jeremy again.

Jeremy Juday did an outstanding job finding the perfect house for me! As an out of state buyer, I needed special attention, and Jeremy did just that. I highly recommend his services!

It was a pleasure to work with Martin and his team. Everyone in his realty group was extremely prompt (even on evenings and weekends), on-the-ball, kind, and showed common sense and courtesy. Our house selling process was so smooth because of Martin's experience, excellent advice, and knowledge of the local real estate scene despite a difficult market. I wouldn't hesitate to choose Martin and his team again for any of our real estate needs.

Jack McGreal, went above and beyond! Made the process fast and very easy. Great communication, great professionalism, looking forward to do more business. Thank you very much!

Our realtor, Emily Russell, did an outstanding job finding our family an ideal house one thousand miles from our previous home. She determined our needs and preferences and devised a search that generated a good working list to start from. Once we had a short list, Emily scheduled virtual showings which worked wonderfully. The house that my wife and I selected had two other offers, but Emily deftly explained our best strategy to craft a more attractive offer. It worked! I highly recommend Emily and the Bouma Group without reservation.

Stephanie and the Bouma Group provided an exciting home buying experience. Stephanie was on top of current trends in the area and negotiated the deal that helped me get the home of my dreams! She made me feel like I was more to her than just a client. She was always available to listen to my needs or concerns and provide honest answers to my questions any time of the day or night. The Bouma Group streamlined the process of buying a home so much that I was completely relaxed during the process knowing that I had a highly competent team supporting me. I highly recommend Stephanie and the Bouma Group to anyone looking for their dream home!

We worked with Emily Russell. She was outstanding. Super knowledgeable, a great communicator, and smart strategist. The Bouma Group overall is great, too. We've been part of three transactions with them over the past two decades and I'm always happy with their work.

Martin has extensive experience working in the Ann Arbor neighborhood. He was able to help us find the exact home we wanted. He and his team were always willing to answer my many phone calls or text messages, regardless of the hour. He was there when I needed him and was tenacious when he needed him to be. Thanks for helping us purchase our dream home Martin!

He was always willing to answer my many phone calls and text messages, regardless of the hour. He was tenacious and professional every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

She was on top of current trends in the area and negotiated the deal that helped me get the home of my dreams.

We had a fantastic experience working with The Bouma Group in Ann Arbor! A special thanks to Stephanie, who helped us find our home. She was incredibly patient, never made us feel rushed, and consistently offered thoughtful, honest advice throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful for her support and highly recommend The Bouma Group to anyone looking for a home in the Ann Arbor area!

The entire selling experience with Mary Jo and Bouma was awesome! We really appreciated all the help for staging and prep to list our house. The pictures and virtual tour were fantastic. The Bouma team had friendly, fast, and knowledgeable support from pre-listing through closing. We would definitely recommend Mary Jo and Bouma to anyone looking to sell or buy in the area!

I had an excellent experience in purchasing a home. Stephanie Roberts was my realtor, and I found her to be knowledgeable, conscientious, responsible, and dependable, as well as pleasant, congenial, and courteous.

Stephanie was acutely attuned to my needs and wishes as the home buyer. She took care of all the necessary details so that I could focus on the home’s features, lay-out, and suitability for our family.

If and when the time comes to sell this house, I will definitely call Stephanie. She made this whole process easy and low-stress for me.

Thank you to Bouma Group and Stephanie Roberts!

Emily was truly fantastic to work with! She was patient and knew the market, which was especially important since we were moving from out of state! She went above and beyond by meeting with local contractors since we have work we wanted done with the house. Overall, we’d recommend her wholeheartedly.

Mary Jo Hahn was amazing to work with on the purchase of our new home in Canton. We had some bumps along the way and she was with us every step. It was such a comfort to have her as a sounding board and ultimately, to help us make some hard choices. She never wavered in her support and her willingness to do what was best for us...even if it wasn't best for her! We are so grateful for her time, energy, and tough negotiation skills that helped to make Canton our new hometown. We highly recommend Mary Jo if you are looking to make a move. You simply won't find a better partner to help you navigate the process.

We really enjoyed our time working with Stef and the Bouma group. They were professional and helpful throughout the entire process. We look forward to working with the Bouma group again in the future!

Jeremy was assigned to us over a year ago and understood what we were looking for. Finding the right home to a while because we didn't need to move, through his effort, we found the house we wanted

We had a fantastic experience working with The Bouma Group in Ann Arbor! A special thanks to Stephanie, who helped us find our home. She was incredibly patient, never made us feel rushed, and consistently offered thoughtful, honest advice throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful for her support and highly recommend The Bouma Group to anyone looking for a home in the Ann Arbor area!

**Exceeded Every Expectation!**

Selling our home with Mary Joe bouma group was an outstanding experience. Their **local market expertise** ensured we priced perfectly, and their **marketing plan** (professional photos, targeted ads, virtual tours) attracted serious buyers immediately. They made a complex process feel simple, kept us informed daily, and even helped coordinate repairs. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome — **highly recommend!**

It was a pleasure to work with Martin and his team. Everyone in his realty group was extremely prompt (even on evenings and weekends), on-the-ball, kind, and showed common sense and courtesy. Our house selling process was so smooth because of Martin's experience, excellent advice, and knowledge of the local real estate scene despite a difficult market. I wouldn't hesitate to choose Martin and his team again for any of our real estate needs.

Martin really understands the market and priced my home correctly. The team, especially Kelly, did a great job helping me prepare my house so it would sell fast and over asking. This is the second house I’ve sold with the team that received multiple offers over asking in its first weekend on the market. If I need to sell a property again, I would go back to Martin’s team a third time

Stephanie was more than just a real estate agent, she was a constant support throughout my home buying journey. She made me feel like I was more to her than just a client. Stephanie was always available to listen to my needs or concerns and provide honest answers to my questions. She was on top of current trends in the area and negotiated the deal that helped me get the home of my dreams. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for an exciting, stress-free home buying process.

Jeremy was very knowledgeable, and helped us refine our search to find the right house for us. He was always available and helpful, including contact info for services we needed. He helped with finding a local mortgage company and made the vlidd sad ing process easier. I would recommend him highly.

We have purchased two houses with Stephanie. She was a great agent the first time my wife and I worked with her; but this time she was even better. I may have never even considered new construction without her. She helped guide us through the process of a new build and helped us negotiate for essential upgrades for our needs. I can’t say enough nice things about her; but I can summarize a few. She is thoughtful, kind, generous and most importantly really knows her stuff. She helped us find the perfect home in a great neighborhood.

Jeremy was professional from the start. He was referred to us by a friend. We had also been speaking with another realtor in the area. The difference was apparent rather quickly. Jeremy was more proactive in reaching out to see how we were doing and also gave his thoughts on properties hitting the market, rather than just letting the automated emails do their thing. He led us to an off-market home, which we ended up buying. That probably would have never happened if we continued working with the other realtor. The closing process was rapid, and Jeremy did a great job communicating deadlines and trying to represent me the best he could.

We had a wonderful experience selling our home with Stephanie and The Bouma Group. Getting our house ready to go on the market with an infant was no easy feat, but she was there every step of the way to guide us, answer questions, and offer great advice. She is also a kind, wonderful person, and easy to talk to. Our daughter adores her and it was so relieving to work with someone who was understanding when she’d get fussy during calls or meetings. When our closing took a little longer than expected due to something on the buyer’s end, she also saved the day by finding some toys for the baby to play with. We would work with Stephanie again in a heartbeat.

Jeremy is the ultimate professional. It didn't take him long to figure my wife and I out and lead us to exactly what we were looking for. Very thorough and personable. Jeremy is just an all around good guy and made the process real easy. Highly recommend Jeremy.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Stephanie as our real estate agent!  From the moment we started our search, she truly felt like a partner on this journey with us.  My husband and I were first-time homebuyers, and we weren’t entirely sure what to expect.Stephanie was right there to guide us, patiently answering every question and giving us advice that helped us feel more confident with each home we toured.She’s the kind of agent who makes you feel like you’re her only clients—she’s so responsive, attentive, and genuinely rooting for you.

We toured homes all over the area, from Ypsilanti to Saline, and eventually landed in our dream home in Ferndale, MI.  Stephanie’s charisma and positive energy kept us hopeful, even when things felt uncertain.  She made the whole experience feel smooth and even fun, which was more than we could have hoped for.  We feel incredibly lucky to have had Stephanie by our side, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a home. She’s truly the best!

Mary Jo Hahn and the entire Bouma team is extremely professional. Mary Jo’s knowledge and guidance is by far the best I have experienced in my 9 home transactions. Mary Jo and the entire team support you in every step and effectively communicate the status of the sale

Jeremy Juday was awesome! He helped us narrow down our search to find the right house for us. He was knowledgeable and helpful in finding services we requested. He helped us through negotiations and set realistic expectations. We would recommend him highly!

Mary Jo and the entire Bouma Group did an extraordinary job selling our large home and finished barn on 16 acres. The entire process was handled with the highest level of professionalism. Mary Jo was a complete pleasure to deal with. We are very grateful to The Bouma Group for the successful sale of our home.

Mary Jo did a great job of marketing my condo and did an awesome job at price negotiation. I was able to get the price I wanted thanks to her negotiating skills. She was responsive to my calls and the brochures were beautiful.

Mary Jo Hahn was exceptional and very knowledgeable. When I listed my home with her- Very thorough and helpful and responsive- My home sold in a good amount of time- I really appreciated the marketing and helpfulness of Bouma- The entire Bouma Group experience was a delight- I’ll definitely be recommending the group and Mary Jo to my friends and colleagues.

Jeremy was very facilitating of my busy schedule to make sure everything was done properly. I bought with a VA loan and he communicated with the sellers and provided recommendations of offers to ensure I would be able to purchase my home. Would buy again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Jeremy from The Bouma Group. As homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and Jeremy was knowledgeable, and responsive every step of the way. He understood our needs and helped us find the perfect home in a great neighborhood. Jeremy was quick to respond to every question, thoroughly explained the buying process, and guided us through every stage. He had a lot of data points which helped us navigate through the whole process. We truly felt like we had an advocate in our corner. Highly recommend!

Mary Jo was very professional. She helped us selling our condo in Ann Arbor. She also was very helpful in leading some last work ordered by the HOA, to remove some hooks on the garage. With my husband we don't live in Michigan, and it was good to have a reliable person to take care of those last things before the sale. We will recommend Mary Jo and the Bouma Agency. Probably the best in town!

Bouma and his team, especially Mary Jo, exceeded my expectations of great agents! Due to bad past experiences, I was nervous and cautious about everything, but this team made it pleasant and reassuring through their 100 percent commitment and dedication to their client. To begin.. Michael is the concierge with the nice soothing voice you would want to expect when calling multiple times a day to the office and still not be annoyed with you ;) Kelly was always on top of marketing materials and listing information. She had dug up more details about my house history then I did which helped to support the condition of my house. Then there was Mary Jo.and she knows how to NEGOTIATE! I ended up with a great deal and above asking price even though it didn't look promising as the market was slowing way down and other similar houses were dropping prices. These professionals are pros and are great at what they can do. Each one brings their specialty onto the table. My experience has been awesome due to the Bouma group, felt I had a team that worked and looked out for my interest, and even towards the end, where there were delays, whole team worked and communicated together and got things done!!! WOW!!!

Stephanie Roberts and the entire Bouma team Absolutely wonderful wonderful to work with. Everyone was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and compassionate. I received prompt attention to questions every step of the way, and things went very smoothly from start to finish. Thank you!

Jeremy and the entire Bouma Group was very helpful in the purchase of our new home. Very knowledgeable, response time was amazing, very happy with the whole process of working with them.

My experience with Mary-Jo and The Bouma Group was excellent. Maryjo was incredibly thorough in the entire process, and helped ensure that I was getting the best value for my house. She is very knowledgeable on the general areas that she sells in and always came more than prepared with information on the houses (brought house reports that broke down age of all appliances, age of house, etc.). When I was finally ready to make an offer, Maryjo was quick and efficient in the turnaround, which helped me land the house. She drove hard negotiations and fought for my best interest, which made my involvement in the process very simple. I would highly recommend her to anyone that I know.

The Bouma Group in general was always very efficient and made my life very easy, from offer to closing to moving in. At every step, the Bouma Group provided me clear steps to ensure everything was done correctly and quickly. They also made an effort to make my experience special, providing a gift basket and checking in once everything was closed. I appreciated all the work that their team did through this house buying experience. I could not have imagined a smoother process working with Mary-Jo and The Bouma Group.

The Bouma Group, Realtors were wonderful to work with. They were very professional, and I would recommend them to anyone. Overall fantastic experience. Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful through each step of the selling process.

Jeremy was always available and helped us find a home that (1) met our needs, (2) fit our budget, and (3) fit our timeline -- we had a baby just a month after closing. We couldn't have done it without him! I would recommend him to family and friends. Jeremy is extremely friendly, personable, knowledgable, and has a wonderful sense of humor. Honestly, I miss seeing him!

Bouma group did a fabulous job from initial signing, guiding and helping us setting up our house for sale. Mary-Jo’s effort was far and beyond our expectations in getting our home sold in a very short time. We are grateful for her patience and professionalism. Kelly Stone was a huge help in staging which made it possible to get 3 offers at the first Open House. Thanks to the photographer and videographer who showed our house on line for the buyers to fall in love with. Kudos to Martin Bouma and The BOUMA Group for a job well done! It was an unbelievable experience and we highly recommend The Bouma Group to anyone buying or selling their home.

Mary-Jo and all of Martin’s team were fantastic. The entire process was highly efficient. Working with them was easy and yielded the results I wanted. I highly recommend them and would work with them again.

Mary Jo Hahn was a tremendous asset for us in selling our condo. She worked through the weekend to help secure a 2nd offer when the prospective buyer of the first offer backed out. We feel Mary Jo & her team went over & above what was necessary to help us sell our condo. We would highly recommend Mary Jo & her team to help anyone with selling their home!

Stephanie was a great help in purchasing my home. She had good input and pulled the deal together very quickly so I came out on top! She was very accessible and patient. If research was needed she followed up quickly with the results. With her lead it was a painless purchasing experience.

Mary Jo and her team at the Bouma Group did an outstanding job selling our condo. From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful. I was impressed by how quickly our condo sold, and I believe that was due to their expertise and effective marketing strategies. I would highly recommend the Bouma Group at Keller Williams Realty to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate.

Highly recommend Mary Jo! She recently assisted us with the sale of our beloved home. She was not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but very supportive during what for us was a “goodbye” to our home and community.

Mary Jo and her team were outstanding. The first time that we met, Mary Jo was prepared and instilled confidence. She was well informed, had researched our home and knew all of the comparables for the neighborhood. She understood what was important to us and her recommendations were instrumental in helping to get the best pricing possible. We were kept well informed throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Mary Jo and the Bouma group to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.

Worked with Mary Jo. Found her to be knowledgeable & connected. Her knowing the buying agent helped the transaction proceed smoothly. Her knowledge of the area helped us price the house perfectly (higher than we initially expected). The whole crew is really organized. Martin's video of our home is kind of a keepsake to remind of all the good times we enjoyed in it.

We had a wonderful experience with Jeremy and the group. Jeremy was always available and booked our showings within 24 hours of our request. He was knowledgeable and came prepared with all the papers regarding each property. Jeremy was very patient in helping us close on the right home! Will recommend to friends!

We could not have been happier with Mary Jo Hahn and the team at the Bouma Group. As we sold my mother’s long-time home this spring, Mary Jo and the Bouma team excelled at every step of the process. They gave generously of their time, and provided genuine expertise at every stage. They helped us work through many decisions about when to sell, how and how much to best prepare the house, how best to market it, how to describe it for the listing, and how to price it. They also gave us consistently excellent referrals for contractors to help us to get the house ready. And they approached each step with a combination of long experience, sound judgment, and hard data about sellers in comparable situations, leaving us not only well informed, but also reassured.

In the end, Mary Jo and the team got it exactly right at every step. The result was a huge surge of buyers’ attention, and the signing of a contract just three days after we went on the market—at a closing price significantly above our robust asking price. We closed less than two weeks after going on the market. In short, our experience could not have been more positive. Strongest recommendation.

Bouma Group represented us for the sale of our home in May, 2024. Their professionalism was impressive with easy accessibility throughout the process. Entire team worked seamlessly during different phases of home sale from staging to closing with a personalized touch. They did an outstanding job!

We have been very happy with the Bouma Group. They listened six years ago and found us the Ann Arbor condo we wanted. When the time came to sell it to be closer to our grandchildren they were experts at helping us market the condo. This led to a timely sale at an attractive price. They are always available to help and they listen to you.

Stephanie Bell from The Bouma Group has been an absolute game-changer as my marketing coach! In just a few months of working with her, I've felt empowered to drive our Real Estate marketing efforts forward. Stephanie's wealth of experience and proven strategies have transformed our approach, noticeably increasing traffic to our website. She's always prepared with a game plan for our meetings, and her kindness, support, and willingness to tackle any challenge, whether basic or high-level, make her an invaluable asset. I'm incredibly grateful for her guidance and couldn't recommend her highly enough for anyone looking to take their business to the next level!

We worked with the Bouma Group to list our house. Mary Jo went above and beyond to keep the client's best interests in mind. The Bouma group is well connected and market data driven. The listing and advertising strategies are precise and streamlined. The Bouma group works with local service providers to cover every aspect of a property transition. The team should be congratulated for their incredible accomplishments and integrity. I highly recommend the Bouma group to anyone who has real estate needs in the area.

Stephanie from the Bouma group is an amazing agent. We took over 2 years to buy a property due to market conditions. She was patient with us throughout the process. Since we are also out of town buyers she would schedule back to back showings for us during the weekends and also would do showings via facetime. She understood our needs and taste and I trusted her opinion. She never pressured us and was always very happy to work with us. She is the best.

I have known Martin Bouma for many years and have always been impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of the real estate industry. Martin and his staff have always exhibited the utmost integrity and caring for their clients. My recent closing was handled with the same integrity and smooth transition from the time the property was listed and throughout the process to closing. I worked with Maryjo Hahn from the day of listing through the closing and her professionalism and knowledge was impeccable. I also have to say that the entire staff, including Michael Barbour and Kelly Stone were extremely helpful in making the whole transaction go so smoothly. I will continue to refer future potential buyers to the Bouma Group.

Martin and Mary Jo are excellent. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were there every step of the way and made the home sale process as smooth as possible. The Bouma Group always goes the extra mile for its clients. Highly recommended!!

Real Estate Sales is often a team effort, and Mary Jo has one heck of a team! Enjoyed working with her every step of the way.

Stephanie from Bouma group helped us with the purchase of our first home. She very knowledgeable about our desired market, answered to all our questions patiently and gave us helpful tips at every step of the process. Overall, it a pleasure to work with Bouma group, very resourceful team.

Wonderful experience from start to finish! Bought a house and sold another and it went seamlessly!

Mary Jo and her team were fantastic! I was kept in the loop on everything throughout the selling process and they made sure I was getting the best offer for my house!

Mary Jo was wonderful to work with - from market appraisal to staging the property, Mary Jo really went above and beyond to show the condo, make the sale, and assist me with post-closing transfer of utilities and title.

Mary Jo Hahn did a fantastic job of helping us sell our condo. She knew the market and exhibited great negotiating skills. Everything went smoothly. The whole team was professional and kept us updated and in the loop on what was happening. She and the whole team were great.

Mary Jo Hahn was an easy choice to be our listing agent. Our sale went very smooth and I am confident the Bouma group maximized our selling price. The team kept us informed throughout the process. Next time I will use Mary Jo and the Bouma group again!

Mary Jo and team did such a great job selling our home. Even though Ann Arbor is a strong seller’s market, one still needs advice and support when pricing and presenting the home to ensure the best possible sale! Mary Jo’s knowledge of the local market and conditions, connections with experts to help stage and landscape the home quickly and her support in the negotiation process were critical to the great outcome we experienced. She is backed by a whole team who were so knowledgeable and responsive. I appreciate you all!

We know right away when we met Mary Jo she was the right person for us. She was very relatable and understood our situation exactly. She guided us through the process carefully tolerating my many calls, questions, concerns to be heard and addressed. It was great to have the strength of her team supporting us the whole way through. The process was fast moving and needed careful organization from start to finish. She and her team members were super responsive. They addressed concerns and questions even before i could ask them. We received great advice through quality research while working to set the price of our home. We are thankful we chose the right person.

Bought and sold a condo with Bouma Group very satisfied with both transactions in the 4-year period. Very cooperative, responsive and highly recommend them for any real estate needs.

Mary Jo and her group made selling my condo extremely easy and simple. They were extremely knowledgeable and handled all my questions and requests swiftly. Would highly recommend to anyone selling in the neighborhood.

Mary Jo Hahn and every member of the Bouma team were excellent throughout the whole process. Mary Jo and Martin convinced us to list with them instead of the realtor who sold us the house because they had a superior marketing plan backed up by compelling data. The Mary Jo and the professional stager provided clear advice including several details that we had not heard before, and we believe it made a significant difference in achieving a quick sale at a high price. We got the house on the market in less than 2 weeks and it sold in just a few days with multiple offers. Mary Jo negotiated well to achieve a higher price than we thought possible due to escalation clauses. The closing process went smoothly, again with the help of excellent specialists in closing. Even though they had specialists assisting on different aspects, Mary Jo was always our main contact and could be quickly reached at any time. I highly recommend the Bouma team and Mary Jo Hahn.

Mary Jo and the team were incredible! After an unsuccessful listing with a previous agency we listed over 7 properties with The Bouma Group and within 6 months all 7 were sold! They managed all the details and we had an incredible experience!

Martin and Mary Jo are excellent. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were there every step of the way and made the home sale process as smooth as possible. The Bouma Group always goes the extra mile for its clients. Highly recommended!!

Our experience with the Bouma Group was outstanding. The Bouma team worked like a well-oiled machine. Everyone had their specialization and did the tasks they were responsible for effectively and efficiently. It was a pleasure selling our home with the Bouma Group. We would work with Martin Bouma and his team again in a heartbeat and will be recommending the group to our friends.

Mary Jo and the entire Bouma team did an excellent job selling our house and vacant properties in Salem Township. They have a process and the process works. Their communication was excellent, I was always in the know without having to ask. I highly recommend working with Mary Jo and the Bouma team.

Stephanie is super responsive, knowledgeable and patient with me. Anytime I have questions, she would respond quickly with detailed explanation. I really enjoyed working with her, since she's super helpful and resourceful. Stephanie, she is the best. I will continue to work with her in the future on next home.

From listing to sale…the whole process was streamlined, efficient and flawless. The complete Bouma team is at the top of their game! I could not be more pleased with the sale of my home!!!

Very smooth working with the group, closing was super fast and efficient, realtor was amazing

Mary Jo was the constant professional, who guided me through the process of selling my home. It quickly became apparent that her main concern was that I was comfortable with each and every decision being made through the sale of my home. Knowing that she had my best interest in mind was a huge comfort during a very stressful time. Overall I had an amazing experience with the Bouma group. The entire staff truly were amazing to work with.

Stephanie from the Bouma group was a dream to work with. She made herself available to us during the house hunt, was very responsive, and always followed up in a timely manner. We especially appreciated Stephanie's transparency and no-pressure style. She would send houses our way when she saw them, but never pushed too hard. The entire process through signing the closing documents was smooth. Highly recommend working with her and the Bouma group!

Words do not do justice how thankful we are to have met Mary Jo Hahn and the entire Bouma Group! They helped us buy our place three years ago and recently helped us sell it. Everyone is extremely professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. What may seem like a daunting process to some, Mary Jo made selling our house convenient and efficient. We were actually out of the country for the open house. We had full faith in Mary Jo and her team for a successful showing and they did not disappoint. Thanks again to everyone at the Bouma Group and special thanks to Mary Jo!

Martin and his team are exceptional. This is our second time listing with the Bouma group. Both experiences were efficient, painless and they take time to u sweat and what we needed as sellers (cost, timing and home features). They get us top dollar. They understand the market. They are reasonable.

Over the past year, we have had the pleasure of working with Mary Jo Hahn of The Bouma Group to prepare and list our home for sale. From our initial conversations and throughout the entire process, the service we received from Mary Jo was phenomenal. Her understanding of the real estate market and deep knowledge of local housing trends and timing combined with her strategic insights, experience, and dedication to helping us sell our home made us confident that we were in good hands and that our needs were a top priority. Whenever we had questions, she was quick to return phone calls or texts—even after hours—to provide us with helpful guidance and great advice.

We couldn’t be happier with our entire experience of working with Mary Jo. She is extremely pleasant to work with. Her responsiveness and commitment to us made us feel as if we were working with someone who had our best interests at heart as opposed to someone who simply cared about selling a property.

If you are looking for the best realtor to handle the sale of your home, we can confidently recommend The Bouma Group and Mary Jo Hahn. They will partner with you and support you through your journey from listing to sale and beyond. Their hard work, expertise, and support enabled us to successfully sell our home quickly and over the asking price!

This is the second time we have chosen Martin to sell a home in Ann Arbor. He inspires confidence with his understated professional manner, and delivers substance in the form of accurate assessment of what we have to deal with in selling in a particular market. We trusted his judgment and his advice led to our selling both properties within a few days of listing. His team was stellar in shepherding us through the entire process - prompt, knowledgeable, thorough, detail-oriented. Even the other parties involved in our transaction made particular comments about how impressed they were with Martin and his group! They deserve every accolade I can give for providing a stress-free selling experience.

Mary Jo and her team of professionals met with us at our home and gave us constructive guidance on how to stage our home and make it as presentable as possible. They explained in detail how they reached a suggested sale price by reviewing line by line, the market comparable properties. After receiving multiple offers within the first day of listing, we knew that we selected the right real estate professional. We are very happy with the entire experience.'

It was a pleasure to work with Mary Jo on the selling of our Ann Arbor home. She walked us through the process and provided expert advice on how to best prepare to list our home, especially in a challenging market. Not only was Mary Jo very responsive and helpful throughout the process, but she also successfully sold our home (over asking price!). We highly recommend working with the Bouma Group!

The best real estate transaction I've ever had was selling our condo with Martin. He and his entire team were excellent communicators, always responsive, quick to follow-up, and kept everything on track. Martin's knowledge of the local market was quite impressive. And his knowledge and experience were very helpful for setting a price, evaluating offers, understanding seasonality, and setting our expectations and selling strategy.

Mary Jo was a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with in selling our long time family home. She lead us through the process and brought experts from her group when needed. I would highly recommend Mary Jo and the Bouma Group.

Mary Jo was a pleasure to work with start to finish. She is so responsive and anticipates your every need. Her team makes everything effortless and easy. You can’t do better than the Bouma Group.

The Bouma Group was outstanding during the listing and selling of our home. Mary Jo was our realtor, she was always available and receptive to our needs and concerns, a definite 5 star rating for her work. This is a very professional and organized group from top to bottom, everyone we encountered with group was helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend their services to all prospective sellers.

Stephanie provided me with an excellent realtor experience. My purchase offer amount was right on and her strong recommendation to do a “just before” closing inspection found a hot water tank leak not existing previously. Stephanie negotiated an appropriate and readily agreed to financial solution that allowed us to close shortly after. Stephanie and Bouma’s staff guided me thru a very short offer-to-closing time with ease

Knowledgeable realtors.

Martin and his team at Bouma Group were extremely helpful and professional with us under very trying circumstances. Due to a horrific auto accident while we were on vacation in Canada, we were unable to return to our home in Michigan. We were forced to rent out our home and not leave it vacant. Martin’s team found a tenant for us. Two years later, the second tenant in our home wanted to move out, so we decided to return to Michigan to list our home for sale. Travel is difficult for us, since we still have mobility issues post-accident. In the midst of Covid, and with help to make repairs to our home prior to listing it for sale, Martin and his team were extremely helpful. We were able to get the home fixed up, staged, and listed for sale. We received a fine and aggregable offer shortly after listing it for sale, and were able to complete the sale. We highly recommend the Bouma group!

Mary Jo did an awesome job. She assisted us in selling our house quickly. She was involved in all aspect of closing. She was friendly, responsive and gave us great advice.

During the last 36 hours prior to closing, the buyer was making many demands to close the sale. Mary Jo handled everything, minute by minute with superb expertise. I found out later that during the last 24 hours prior to the closing, Mary Jo was out of the country on holiday. I am so impressed that she was still vested in getting to the finish line.

Mary Jo was so clear and efficient in explaining what immediate steps we needed to take in order to get our house "sell ready". Then she helped find the workers to make things happen. As a result, we had immediate offers and a smooth selling process. The entire Bouma Group was integrated and skilled at their various parts of the process --- selling, closing, working with the Title company. They all responded ASAP to emails or texts or calls, and knew details immediately. I was reassured and impressed all the way. Highly recommend the entire company.

My husband and I are first time home buyers, but the bouma group made the home buying process so clear and really simplified it for us. They respond quickly to questions and requests!

Our experience in selling our home with The Bouma Group was fantastic. Martin Bouma is a consummate professional. He has outstanding listening and communication skills and never failed to return a call promptly (day or night), especially during the listing and showing period. He kept us well informed and provided sound advice as feedback from potential buyers and offers came in. At our first meeting, Martin conveyed a strong eagerness to gain our business and his attitude throughout the sale process was that our sale was very important to him. The marketing effort was particularly good. The Bouma staff is very well trained, from marketing and listing through closing; we found them all to be knowledgeable and very welcoming and friendly.

The Bouma group is the best- professional all the way through! I have used them twice- purchasing and selling a home. Mary Jo was my selling realtor and she is extremely kind, smart, thorough, responsive, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!

We worked with the Bouma Group when we bought our first home in MI, and when we were ready to sell, they were the immediate first choice to go back to. We felt very cared for by the whole team, and it's clear everyone who works there has expertise in this field. We highly recommend them!

The process of selling a home can be a very trying process. Yet Mary Jo made it all seem so effortless. Had an acceptable offer in one week and every aspect went smoothly. I definitely made the right choice in Realtors with Mary Jo and The Bouma group. Couldn't be more satisfied with the results. Thank You Mary Jo and your team.

The Bouma Group worked hard to help us find a condo and to make the process very smooth. In this market it's great to be able to rely on the expertise of professionals and Stephanie Roberts did not disappoint all the way through to the end of the transaction it was great service and a pleasure to work with them.

If you are looking or trying to sell consider working with the Bouma Group.

Stephanie from the Bouma Group has been excellent! She was very communicative, honest, and was always available to answer our questions and ease our concerns as first-time homebuyers. I would recommend them for anyone starting out and looking for a new home that meets their budget and location.

The Bouma group helped us through a difficult sale from out of state. I honestly don’t know how we could have done it without them. Always upbeat and thoughtful, I don’t hesitate to give them the highest rating.

Great overall! We interviewed several people and in the end Mary Jo offered the best mix of knowledge, process, and responsiveness. Furthermore, we were selling from out of state, so her and her team were able to help us clear out some stuff left behind and a couple touch ups here and there.
10/10 would recommend.

I worked with Mary Jo and the Bouma group on the selling of my home. I was out of the country until the closing which made communication and understanding critically important. Mary Jo and the Bouma group managed this situation very well. We sold the home at a good price and the process was very well done and efficient.

We moved back from Arizona to southeast Michigan to be closer to family with a number of expectations for our new home. Stephanie was responsive to our requests to see places as soon as possible after listing. She responded to our questions, need for more information as promptly as able and guided us in making an offer process in these trying times. When she was not as available due to vacation/ after offer accepted, coordination with the team was not as smooth. During the entire process we always felt that meeting our expectations and desires for the " right " home were of prime importance to her and we appreciated that so much.

We worked with Martin and the Bouma Team on the sale of our condo and it was an amazing experience! From the first step to the final step everyone was very communicative and thorough. They made the entire experience positive, stress free and easy. We highly recommend them!

Mr. Bouma and his great team made my house sale a very fast and smooth process. They kept me informed every step of the way. This is very first time for me to sell a house. I am amazed that Bouma Group made this process so easy. We sold the house within a week after I hand my house key to Mr. Bourma. I will definitely rely on Bourma group when I sell my next house.

Having just purchased my first home, there is no one I could recommend more than Mary Jo She was able to help me navigate this crazy housing market and made sure that I was up to speed and fully understanding everything that was going on.

The market dictated that this deal moved very fast, from walkthrough to final inspection, and Mary Jo was there each step of the way ensuring that everything went as smoothly as it possibly could.

My experience with The Bouma Group, especially Mary Jo Hahn, is one that I recommend for anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Thanks again, Mary Jo!

Purchasing a new property and selling my existing went smoother than I expected. Their agents helped me purchase the home I wanted even in a competitive market, and sell my house for more than I expected. Communication was great with everyone on the team, and the use of their moving truck was a great bonus!

Stephanie Roberts of the Bouma Group made our inter-state move a dream come true. She was responsive, friendly, and helpful, and her knowledge of the home-buying process helped us find the perfect home. We are forever grateful for her patience and kindness. She made us feel so welcome.

I would recommend the Bouma group to anyone! I found the entire team to be highly professional, knowledgeable, responsive. They have seemingly thought of everything to make the daunting task of moving as easy as possible, including access to a courtesy truck. Martin maintained frequent communication regarding feedback from potential buyers and marketing strategies. When we received an offer, the closing team gave clear direction on what was needed from me to facilitate the process and avoid unnecessary delays. I will definitely use the Bouma Group the next time I need a realtor.

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

We contacted the Bouma Group for the sale of our condo. Mary Jo promptly set up an appointment with us and came well prepared with an effective listing and marketing strategy. Mary Jo was always available to answer all of our questions and concerns. Within a few days of our listing we got an offer and the sale went through smoothly. During the entire process, every member of the Bouma team was very helpful and on top of things at all times. We would love to work with Mary Jo and the Bouma Group again and highly recommend them.

It has been a pleasure to work with Martin and his team. They have gone above and beyond to help me sell my home and find me a new place. I really appreciate first class work with personal touch. I know who to call for my next home search.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you for your great work.

I’ve worked with Martin and his team for over 10 years now - both buying and selling houses. He and his team are always professional, knowledgeable and available at all hours to answer any questions. Martin works collaboratively with you throughout. This last time was not straightforward at all with the pandemic going on, but they went above and beyond to get it done and patiently supported and guided me through the process. I definitely recommend this realtor group!

Mary Jo and I had been in touch for over a year while I was considering selling my home. Once I decided to move to a Senior Citizen Apartment I got in touch with her. She impressed me immediately after I told her I was represented by someone else, but could she answer some questions? She said it wasn't ethical for her to discuss the property while I was represented by another realtor. With that response, my confidence in Mary Jo went up immediately and when my first contract expired, we began to work together. She provided advice about prepping the house which was opposite the prior agent's advice. I agreed totally with Mary Jo's advice. She went on to provide good guidance on the best way to sell the house. She and her team provided excellent service in marketing the property and they were able to generate many showings. She was very effective in the final negotiations and I will confidently recommend her to my contacts.

Bouma is so great! They were great guiding us when we bought our condo 8 months ago and they’re great now, giving us a free Zingermans pie! I love it!

Mary Jo Hahn was the realtor who recently helped me sell my house where I had lived for 35 years. It was the right decision to move, but I felt emotionally overwhelmed.

I couldn't have found a better person to help me to move through the process. Mary Jo Hahn was very sensitive to my feelings, which meant a lot to me. She referred me to various companies to do necessary types of repairs. It was clear to me that she was always advocating for me and focused on my best interests. I knew she would always return my texts and calls promptly.

Mary Jo Hahn is totally professional, and I highly recommend her!

I learned about the Bouma Group by chance when I was casually looking around for a possible home, and I'm happy to have reached out to them. They gave me a lot of guidance & always responded to my questions within a business day. From loan application to the closing process, it was definitely a great learning experience for me as a 1st-time homebuyer. I feel honored to have them as a connection now.

We worked with Stephanie from the Bouma Group. She is responsive, knowledgeable, explains things simply, and is a delight to work with. She went above and beyond in helping us find the home we now live in - and we love it. Would 10/10 recommend her.

Martin and the entire Bouma team worked tirelessly to sell our home. Every member of the team was enthusiastic, genuinely friendly and most importantly, knowledgeable in every step of the process. Our former home is in another county but we received the same level of services as if it were located in the Ann Arbor area. We could not be happier with the Bouma Group and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Martin and the Bouma Group were very helpful in my particular set of circumstances. My father had passed and we needed to sell his condominium. I specifically asked for Martin because Martin had worked with my late parents on a few other real estate transactions while they were alive.

I can see why they worked with Martin! We were able to sell the condominium in Ann Arbor very quickly at a price above what it was listed for. The folks in the Bouma Group office were also very helpful managing the transaction. I would recommend Martin. He's a seasoned professional and a very friendly person.

Why did we want to buy a house in Ann Arbor? That's a long story. Suffice to say that we were visiting our daughter and decided to check what was on offer in the housing market. We walked over to the first realtor we saw. It happened to be Bouma Group. What a happy piece of luck. We were teamed up with Stephanie Roberts. Another happy piece of luck. A few days later she was piloting us through a mixed listing of condos and houses (we only had one day to shop!). A few days more and we made an offer. A few more days and now we own a house in Ann Arbor. Stephanie and the Bouma staff were engaged, efficient, and professional. They just got things done. And “getting things done” was not trivial. We were working through the inspection and closing process from 1,500 miles away. Worked like a charm. Bouma even lent us a moving truck over a weekend to move in! We could not have been more pleased.

Mary Jo and the team at Bouma Group were very professsional, strategic, and data driven with very positive results. Mary Jo was always available and responded promptly to any questions or concerns,. Her knowledge and experience were invaluable for the successsful sale of our large home. We would highly recommend the Bouma Group!!

My past experience with realtors has been less than stellar. It was refreshing to be represented by Martin who was able to bring a level of professionalism and experience that is missing from the vast majority of "amateurs" out there. It seems everyone thinks they can sell houses. The fee is always the same, so you might as well use the best. That would be Martin.

We decided in the current market to sell our home last minute. This magnificent team of professionals was above our expectations and was fantastic to work with. Martin and his entire Bouma Group deserves higher than 5 stars. From the minute we listed, his knowledge and skill plus additional support through a zoom meeting to prepare for a home sale was informational and effective. Our entire process could not have gone any better and certainly exceeded our expectations. Lastly, the generosity of using his company moving van assisted our transition and saved us time and money. I am beyond grateful for Martin, his team, and this experience.

Mary Jo Hahn and the Bouma Group was wonderful to work with. She nailed our sale price and was very responsive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone I know.

My husband and I recently purchased our first home with the indispensable help of Stephanie Roberts and the Bouma Group.

We needed to relocate from the Washington, DC area to Ann Arbor due to a career change, and our timetable (summer 2021) just happened to coincide with one of the most competitive home-buying markets in history (not to mention a global pandemic)! We truly believe that our offer would not have been accepted without Stephanie’s assistance. Throughout the process she became our guide, our teacher, our coach, and our advocate; but perhaps the best way we can communicate her professional competence is to say: our first offer was accepted (we didn’t have the stressful yet all-too-common experience of making offer after offer) and we are now living in our dream home!

Throughout the process Stephanie was a great communicator. She always seemed to be available when we needed her (at times responding to our questions while on vacation with her family). If for some reason an issue came up that she could not help us with, the rest of the team at the Bouma Group made us feel supported and taken care of (shout out to Amoreena!).

Stephanie’s extensive knowledge of and familiarity with the local Ann Arbor market was critical to our successful offer strategy. By this I don’t mean simply the housing market - she has consistently provided stellar recommendations for people and services that are integral to the home-buying process (loan servicers, home inspectors, home insurance providers, and even movers)! Since we were buying this home long-distance, we leaned on her as a resource for these crucial local recommendations and she never disappointed us.

Finally, we want to praise Stephanie for her social skills and emotional intelligence. During what was a difficult and nerve-wracking weekend waiting to hear back about our offer, Stephanie expertly managed our expectations and kept us calm while we waited. She distracted us with ice cream from Washtenaw Dairy and took us on several other home tours while we were in town that weekend. She never got our hopes up or let us dwell on worst-case scenarios. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience - but the best part was finding out our offer had been accepted!

We could go on but we need to get back to unpacking! Thank you, Stephanie, and thank you, Bouma Group!

Mary Jo was great! Walked me through the whole process in selling my condo and gave suggestions on what would increase the value. It worked! The condo sold in 3 days! Thank you, Mary Jo and the Bouma Group!

Mary Jo is very professional, yet she also understands what a home seller goes through. She helped me through every step and gave suggestions which had my condo sold in 3 days! She’s wonderful! I highly recommend Mary Jo for selling/buying a home.

Stephanie was our agent as we were relocating from another state, and was nothing short of wonderful. She consistently went above and beyond while helping us search for a home. She was so knowledgeable and patient with us as we navigated the remote buying process. I will recommend Stephanie and the Bouma Group to anyone I know looking for an agent in Ann Arbor!

Stephanie and the Bouma group were perfect and fantastic in our search. She was responsive and knew exactly what we wanted. The procedure from sale to closing was also well done. Highly recommend Stephanie and the Bouma group.

We recently purchased a home as a rental with an excellent agent of Bouma's; Stephanie Roberts. She was so effective in helping us to find just the perfect location and price for our budget. We will recommend her highly to any future buyers.

We had such a smooth, amazing experience selling our house with Mary Jo. This was our first time selling and Mary Jo and the Bouma group took care everything for us - from setting a good selling price, marketing the house with wonderful 3-d pictures and internet presence, and guidance throughout the closing. We received an offer we were very happy with, and had a seamless, smooth selling process. If you are selling in Ann Arbor, we would highly recommend.

Mary Jo Hahn and her Team from The Bouma Group KW Ann Arbor were fantastic ! From our first meeting to the sale and closing of our Mothers Home Was seamless. The stress was taken off of us and all questions, emails and phone calls were answered immediately. I highly recommend and will use them in the future.

Martin is the epitome of everything you could want in a broker; he is well-connected, knowledgeable, and professional. His likeability is what you want in someone representing your home to others. More importantly he is a skilled professional bringing the business acumen to the transaction. There is an ease about the way in which he conducts himself even amidst all the stress that comes with negotiating such an important personal transaction. Martin is also surrounded by a team of experts at the Bouma Office directing every aspect of the transaction. We 100% recommend his services, Bouma Group is above all others in the market.

Mary Jo is an absolute delight to work with. She made the recent sale of my condo seamless and easy. Mary Jo is very reliable, incredibly in tune with her customers and extremely knowledgeable about the local market and conditions. Mary Jo has a knack for relaying complicated information to the customer in a simple and timely manner. I appreciated all the hard work that Mary Joput in to the sale of my condo - Thank you!

Mary Jo did a phenomenal job with our home sale. Showed the house in the best light, got significantly above asking, and worked out some potential appraisal issues in our favor. Quick responses and detailed knowledge of the process helped calm our nerves immensely. We would definitely contact her again if we were selling.

This was our first time selling a property, and it was nerve racking! We were lucky to have Mary Jo Hahn and her team at Bouma group as our agents. They are very helpful, efficient and professional. With their profound local resources, our sale was done quickly and smoothly. I would strongly recommend Mary Jo as your real estate agent too!

We had a great experience with Martin and his team. Martin's knowledge of the market and the industry as a whole, helped us get the best offer for our home. He is honest, clear and concise with all communications, and explains all aspects of a deal to help educate his clients. I highly recommend The Bouma Group.

Martin is a fantastic agent to have on your side. We had The Bouma Group help sell our home, and it was the best experience I've ever had with a real estate group. Some bumps from the buying agent and Martin handled it like a pro.'

Mary Jo and Bouma Group did a great job listing and selling our house. They were extremely professional. They gave great advice. We got frequent and great support from her team as well. Sold in 3 days for over asking. We especially appreciated the advice from her staging expert on how to present the house.

Mary Jo was very helpful with listing our condo. Selling your home can be stressful, but the confidence we had in Mary Jo made the process so much easier. We highly recommend you work with Mary Jo if you ever sell your home. We had multiple offers and she helped us get top dollar.

Mary Jo was very professional, knowledgeable, and effective in selling my house. Everything went very smooth. Communication was very prompt. This was very important as I was a out-of-town seller. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking to sell a property.

We had a likely buyer well before the house went on the market. Bouma agreed to handle negotiations and all other details involved in completing the sale with a substantially reduced commission. They did a superb job, keeping us informed at every step and providing excellent advice about decisions we were required to make during negotiations. I enthusiastically recommend The Bouma group and Mary Jo Hahn, with whom we primarily worked.

Mary Jo Hahn gave us the best experience in selling our condo. We started with another agency but after six months moved to Bouma group because our house wasn’t selling even though the market was in positive for seller.

Mary Jo was very helpful to me when I needed to sell my condo. Since I had never before sold property, she carefully and thoroughly explained the process to me and showed me many examples of similar properties that had recently sold. She monitored all the necessary steps, including paperwork, price setting, showings, offers and counter-offers. After a relatively short time on the market, my condo was successfully sold for a satisfactory price.

Mary Jo was a pleasure to work with. She was professional and direct, provided clear guidance and we had over 20 showings the first weekend and accepted an offer 6% over listing price.

Very professional group. Nice to work with during a down market. Martin Bouma and his group got the job done. Thank you very much!

Mary Jo became our listing agent when we decided to sell our house and approached the Bouma Group to help us. She worked hard with us (and for us) to effectively market our house. Mary Jo wore different hats through the process of marketing and selling. She was our analyst, advisor, and negotiator. She directed us to clinch the best offer on our house. Thanks to her communication, she was always available via email, phone calls, and even text -- and she answered our question promptly and effectively. The selling process was smooth and pleasant. We could not have asked for a better agent for impeccable honesty and integrity.

Very professional and knowledgeable. They were able to sell my home and wire the money even though I’m outside the USA. They made the process very smooth and they were very helpful.

Martin's team handled our home sale flawlessly from start to finish. Beginning with Martin's expertise in pricing our home, to the stager's design recommendations, and finally the closing team's communication and help with the inspection and closing process. We felt supported and well cared for all  along the way. Martin and his team were always available to help with decisions. We will not hesitate to use his group in the future and highly recommend him to others.

Working with the Bouma Group was extremely successful in selling and finding our new home. Everyone including the contractors they recommend are top notch at what they do

I had a great experience purchasing my new condo with Mary Jo. She was able to immediately figure out what I liked and found properties right away that met my needs. As a buyer's broker she works for the purchaser and not the seller. I had to close while out of town and she and her associates at the Bouma Group made the process go smoothly. I highly recommend anyone looking for a home in the area call Mary Jo.

Mary Jo was excellent in all aspects. First meeting, daily updates, answering questions, everything. As a first time home buyer, I honestly had no idea what to expect or how to even start. Mary Jo was happy to walk me and my girlfriend through every step, detailed the needs and the deadlines, and  made me feel confident about the final steps of the process. I can’t recommend Mary Jo more, Her knowledge and methods were indispensable. Still may be looking without her!

October 2019

I loved working with Mary Jo. She was as professional as she was friendly and knowledgeable. She got the job done and sold my house. She was there for me when I had questions.She walked me through the process and made it easy for me. I would like to say a great big Thank You to her and her group.

Have used Bouma twice now to buy a house, and could not imagine the experience being any better. This June we also worked with Bouma to sell, and they made the process very easy. There is always someone to contact with a question (no matter how small). My family felt very taken care of during the entire process.
We will never use anyone else

Made the home buying process easy! They were patient, informative, and all around wonderful though the whole process, and helped us find our dream home, in the right neighborhood, at the right price.

Highly recommended.

The Bouma Group is an outstanding firm full of very hard working conscientious people. Our house sale was not easy given the start during the toughest winter in years but ultimately we closed at what we had set our price to be. I highly recommend this firm.

The Bouma Group made my first home purchase an extremely pleasant experience. Even though they are so very busy I felt like I was their only client. Their knowledge base of Ann Arbor was incredibly vast. They found several homes for me to look at which resulted in my first home purchase. I couldn't be happier with my experience! They are professional. precise, and they know Ann Arbor inside and out. They responded to my questions (that I had a lot of) very quickly. I would use them again in a split second.

The team at Bouma Group are top notch, very professional, and very responsive to all communications. Our selling agent offered very helpful advice in getting our condominium sold in Ann Arbor. The closing manager did her very best to get all parties aligned and finally to close (which unfortunately was more difficult than it should have been). She was very helpful, patient and responsive! We highly recommend them!

Everyone at the Bouma group was super helpful and nice. All the way from viewings to closing, every step was smooth. Will definitely recommend.

As first time home buyers, my wife and I were initially overwhelmed. However, in working with The Bouma Group, we were immediately put at ease, and the whole process became very enjoyable. They even allowed us to use their privately owned moving truck free of charge, which was an unexpected bonus! The Bouma Group team is very knowledgeable and personable, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my family and friends.

Buying and selling real estate can be overwhelming, however, the Bouma Group minimizes that for you. They are a VERY professional, competent, group of people who are on top of the transaction from start to finish, keeping you informed as well. I can't recommend them highly enough. Use them, you won't be disappointed.

May 2018

Buying or selling real estate is the most significant financial transaction many of us will undertake. It's also very complicated and stressful. You need a competent and knowledgeable agent on your side. Bouma has a well oiled machine in place to help you maneuver through every step of the process. We used them for the second time recently. You not only get an agent to work with, you get an entire team of people with expertise in and passion for their part of the transaction. From enthusiastic buyer's agents who are genuinely interested in finding YOUR house to seller's agents willing to go to bat for you when dealing with challenging buyers and their agents. Yes - there are some really difficult people out there. Make sure you have someone on your side to fend them off, minimize the BS and ensure your best interests are attended to. If you're buying or selling a home, you're missing out if you don't talk to Bouma.

The Bouma Group is your best choice for all of your Ann Arbor Real Estate needs! They are true professionals that provide extraordinary service and extensive knowledge about the process and all of the neighborhoods in the area.

Martin Bouma is arguably the sharpest mind I have come across in real estate, and it comes shining through when you meet with his team. These guys know the market inside and out and give the best advice possible with that knowledge!

Martin Bouma is in the top tenth of 1% of the highest producing agents in the largest real estate company in the world, Keller Williams Realty. (His/Her) commitment to excellence is evident. He is a life long learner and “doctoral student” of the real estate brokerage industry and is the local economist of choice in the Ann Arbor market. I have had the privilege of participating in quarterly mastermind sessions with Martin and other top Keller Williams agents for many years. If you want the best in Ann Arbor, hire Martin!

The Bouma Group does an amazing job! Their fantastic customer service ensures their clients the best experience possible.

Martin is a wonderful human being with a team to match. All you have to do is check out his review from clients to see that the entire team follows through - and doesn't forget you after the sale!

March 2018

I can't say enough about Martin's team. They helped my sister buy a home and treated her beautifully. The Bouma group cares about their clients, handle all of the details and keep you informed. Bravo!

March 2018

We had a very pleasant experience working with Bouma. Everything was well executed and on time-- we didn't have to do a single thing! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a speedy, professional house sale.

February 2018

I have had the pleasure of working with The Bouma Group and can say from experience they have put together an amazing group of professionals. They have been very selective and successful in building a culture for their organization with a primary focus on the entire customer experience. Their knowledge of the areas they serve along with outstanding team support ensures success and happy customers!

February 2018

Everyone at Bouma Group was professional, helpful, and eager to make the process an easy one. I would recommend them to anyone (and already have!)

February 2018

The Bouma Group is a fantastic organization to work with. Everything they do is timely, organized, and thorough. The complimentary moving truck is an example of their desire to exceed the expectations of their clients, and we couldn't be happier!
The best part of working with my agent was the fact that he never made us feel pressured, and his practical insights were always geared to what would work best for our family. Throw in the fact that he was very patient with us looking at multiple homes, with three little boys in tow, and it made our time with him very enjoyable!

February 2018

We have really appreciated our experience working with the Bouma group buying our first house! Our realtor was actively involved through the entire process. He sent us many suggestions throughout our time with him, drove far and wide to help us find a place, and our children even adore him. As far as the closing team in the office goes, they were amazing! They were so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. They walked us through each step of the way and even gave us gifts to celebrate our closing on the house. Even after all this we were able to use their complementary moving truck for free. We are so thankful that everything has gone so smoothly with buying our first house. We are thankful for everyone on this team:)

February 2018

Both times we sold our home in Ann Arbor we utilized The Bouma Group, great experience both times! The Group is organised and collaborate well from listing through closing! I highly recommend Martin Bouma and his colleagues to coordinate all of your real estate needs in the Washtenaw County Area.

December 2017

The team was professional and handled both the purchase of our new home as well as the sale of our old home with a sense of urgency that was really appreciated! Wonderful team to work with!

November 2017

The Bouma Group worked with me even as my ideas changed about the type of home I was looking for. Martin suggested an agent for me that matched our needs in a home with an area we liked. Our agent was able to clarify when the decision looked muddy and we ultimately purchased the first home we looked at. The team worked tremendously to finalize the close and get us everything we needed along the way. Their process is unique and it works. Each person on the team is matched to their unique strengths. I couldn't have asked for a better result. We are so happy with our home purchase and the ease of our sale. Thank you!

November 2017

Martin and his team were professional, responsive and fun to work with. Best of all they sold my house in two weeks. They were very helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process, and made it as easy and painless as possible. If I were buying or selling a house in Ann Arbor, I would look no further. Five stars all the way!!!

The agent went out of the way to find listings specific to my needs and as my criteria changed was right on top every step of the way. He answered every inquiry on was on call all the time. I highly recommend the Bouma Group for their knowledge, expertise and work ethic.

September 2017

The team here has the process worked out to a T at every detail. They were very patient and explained each step of the selling process whenever I asked. You go through different team members for each step, but whoever you call - because it's hard to keep track of who's who - they will work to find your answers and help. Cannot express enough how helpful this entire team was. I wish we could sell another house just to work with them again!

We sold our house just above asking price and quickly. The process was very smooth, and Martin and his team were always responsive. We'd recommend him to anyone.

July 2017

Jan and I would like to Thank the Bouma team for being so outstanding to work with.  Jan and I have moved eight times in our past, but this selling experience was truly exceptional and the most professional we have ever had the privilege to be a part of. Everyone was a pleasure to work with and truly "Best in Class".

Thank you so much for everything you did for us...

June 2017

We had difficulty selling our condo, but switched over to The Bouma Group. It sold fast, several offers and above our expectation. A very professional team. The communication with us from the beginning, placing the property on the market to closing was great!

June 2017

My agent did a wonderful job as our realtor!! I would definately recommend him and the Bouma Group to anyone looking to buy or sell. It was my boyfriend and my first time buying a home, and we both greatly appreciate the time and effort he put into answering our questions and working with us on finding the best home at a great price!!

June 2017

My agent was amazing! This was our first experience buying a home, and he made it painless. We were in a time crunch to find a house, and he was able to find us the perfect place in less than a week! He showed up to all of our walkthroughs even after we had put down a deposit. He even went to the house (we moved from out of town) to take a picture of the gas meter for us so that we could resolve an issue with setting up our utilities. I would highly recommend The Bouma Group!

June 2017

Bouma Group did a good job selling my condo, getting me a transaction I was happy with, and quickly. They were also very professional and nice to work with.

June 2017

I assisted my son in purchasing a condo in the Ann Arbor area. I contacted my agent and he responded within hours. He was friendly, knowledgeable about the area, ( we are from the East Coast), Very responsive to our questions and helped us make the purchase sight unseen. He set up the home inspection and stayed throughout. Most of all, he was honest, which was refreshing. I wouldn't hesitate to use this group again and especially my agent.

May 2017

Outstanding customer service! The Bouma Group will work with you from start to finish! Sold our condominium in three days!!

May 2017

The team at Bouma could not have been more helpful. Purchasing your first home is overwhelming, but their team detailed what to expect before we even started the search, and made our lives as easy as possible. They found us a house within a few weeks, and made the purchasing process extremely easy. They also got us in contact with a lender which made the process all that much easier to do. From the moment we started with Bouma, right until we moved in, they were there for us and were amazingly supportive. Go with these guys!

May 2017

We needed to sell our parents' well-maintained but dated home and neither of us live in Michigan. The Bouma Group did a spectacular job and the house was sold and closed to a cash buyer in seven weeks, which helped make my parents' transition to assisted living much less stressful.

The Bouma Group are true professionals. They know the market and give seasoned, expert advice. My home was positioned in the upper end of its market and they got the job done. They receive my highest rating.

It is wonderful to trust that the Bouma team will do everything to make the experience a good one. Martin and his team provided excellent advice and were very responsive. The closing was handled professionally. They know how to walk anyone through the process.

October 2016

July 2016

I first worked with the Bouma Group over 10 years ago, when I purchased my first home. Because of their level of service, professionalism, and attention to detail, I subsequently sought after their services as a leasing agent and finally once I sold my home in 2016. I have never regretted my decision to form what became a long-lasting partnership and would not hesitate to offer my highest recommendation. They are unparalleled.

July 2016

Martin has a very professional team. Martin understands the Ann Arbor market very well and had a cohesive plan on how to obtain the best price in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Martin for anybody looking to sell property in the Ann Arbor area.

They were able to sell my home quickly and negotiated an offer above my asking price. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home.

June 2016

We have been worked with Bouma Group for our home property purchase in Ann Arbor. It was a very pleasant experience. The team is very professional, and dedicate to customer's needs. Bouma has buyer agents, and "closing manager", they focus on different phases of transaction, but co-ordinate closely to get the job done seamlessly. When we were in doubt, Bouma Group team always provide analyzed data as basis for us to think and make decision. That made us being much confident during initial offering, and later negotiations. Also the Bouma Group's "pre-closing" reminder is really helpful - from inspectors selection, to utility transferring, and cleaning services, ... the whole chain of services in a list to choose from. Another important benefit as Bouma Group's customer is to receive monthly, quarterly market updates, tips on sell/buy/upgrade house, re-finance mortgages. The last, but not least important, is Bouma Group's office - decorated nicely, and offered for customer closing meeting. Our purchase was closed at Bouma Group's meeting room, many other customers did so. We're very thankful to the high quality from Bouma Group's services.

May 2016

Processing is very methodical and thorough. They make the seller's job so easy. I was living in California and the Bouma team took care of everything to getting the house ready for sale up to processing the sale.

March 2016

We had great experience with the group. Our agent made sure that she or her partner was always available and they set up showings promptly and answered our many questions immediately. This is critical in a hot real estate market like Ann Arbor. Also, their Closing Manager made the completing our purchasing process so much easier. We appreciated the team's availability to us with questions even after closing. We highly recommend them.

March 2016

My husband and I used the Bouma Group for the sale of our old house and purchasing the new one. On every level, from the beginning to the end, the Bouma Group were superb. They are extraordinarily professional and provide extremely high levels of support and advice. By way of example, the Bouma Group provide details assessments of the local market when selling your home. This is important given trends, the time of year or other events that can increase or decrease the value of the home.

We also utilized the Bouma moving van which is an incredible extra benefit and not the standard among other Realtor offices.

All in all, we would highly recommend Martin Bouma and his group to assist anyone with the sale and purchase of a home.

They did an outstanding job of helping us with a successful closing. They did an outstanding job of helping us 'stage' our house in a way that achieved results. I recommend the Bouma Group enthusiastically!"

12/22/2012 -Sold a Single Family home in 2012 in Ann Arbor, MI.

We were involved in a protracted sale of a large home and property in Ann Arbor. The process began in 2006, ended in 2012. The best plan of action was to split the house from two other lots. In a depressed market, we slowly sold all three parcels. Martin patiently stayed engaged, gave sound advice, and never encouraged us to move our price points inappropriately. We got the best result possible out of a difficult situation. He has an excellent staff, and a firm grasp of the realities of the Ann Arbor market. We would use him again, without question.

10/17/2012 -Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $300K in Ann Arbor, MI.

Our story is unique in that at first we thought we didn't need a realtor. We tried to sell our home on and off for two years receiving lowball offers and not much interest. Then.. we decided to get serious and listed our home with the Bouma Group, after hearing that they were the best in Ann Arbor.

Long story short, Martin sold our house after one day on the market receiving higher than our asking price! He was professional and so knowledgeable. We would highly recommend Martin Bouma and the Bouma Group any day!

10/07/2012 -Sold a Single Family home in 2012 in Ann Arbor, MI.

I was very impressed with Bouma. I thought it would take several months to sell our house given the current market in our area. We were going to be happy with breaking even or taking a small loss. After meeting with Bouma, he was confident that it was the right time to sell and that he would sell our house in less than 1 week. He priced our house much higher than a competing realtor but had the documentation (comps) to back up his pricing. After meeting with him on Wednesday, our house was put on the market Friday afternoon and we had 15+ showings over the weekend with two competing offers by the following Wednesday. We actually got our asking price which was higher than we anticipated! He even had a moving truck that we were able to use free of charge. I am still left in disbelief how successful we were in selling our home. I would highly recommend Bouma to everyone wishing to sell their house at a profit and fast!

09/20/2012 -Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $350K in Ann Arbor, MI.

Martin and his team are truly amazing. I have had the pleasure of working with them on multiple purchases and sales over the past 10 years. They have always been very prompt, professional, had excellent advice and service and were always available. Martin and his staff have consistently gone out of their way to make my home purchase experience special. I have had many friends that have used other area realtors and been disappointed. With such an important decision as the purchase of my home, there is no one I would rather trust and work closely with. I have referred him to many friends and colleagues and they have always had similarly excellent experiences. In the current turbulent economic and real estate climate, Martin shines as a pillar of knowledge and professionalism that is unrivaled allowing his clients to make calm and sound decisions. I owe him and his team for finding and helping me negotiate an acceptable price to allow me to move into the home of my dreams.

10/25/2011 -Sold a Condo home in 2009 for approximately $675K in Ann Arbor, MI.

I built a beautiful custom home at the tail end of the economic boom. Unfortunately, I ended up going through a difficult divorce 4 years later during the economic landslide. In the midst of the divorce, I went to Martin asking for help selling my home. I needed to sell it quickly and did not want to loose a ton of money. Martin and his team were amazing! Within 4 months, they had negotiated an offer I could live with. My beautiful home had wonderful new owners and the price was something I could live with. They were kind, thoughtful, and professional. Whoever said "realtors are all the same" is nuts! Martin Bouma's group sets a new bar in the industry. I will never sell or buy again without the Bouma team behind me.

"Could not be happier with my home buying experience. They were very experienced and knowledgeable in every aspect of home finding and purchase."

But in regards to the sale of the home, which as you can imagine we were most apprehensive about the prospect of selling it; you and your team made it one of the most painless aspects of settling our dad's affairs.

The entire team is very service oriented. Every time I stopped by the office, made a call, or sent an email, the team answered my questions, listened to my concerns, and helped me feel less anxious throughout the entire process of selling."

"Our Initial Meeting With Martin Really Convinced Us That The Bouma Group Was The Right Fit For Us!"

"The team's sales numbers as listed in the Ann Arbor Observer were what made me call initially. Our initial meeting with Martin really convinced us that the Bouma Group was the right fit for us. Martin spoke like a really experienced professional and advocate, NOT like a salesperson, and relied on lots of data to explain his perspective, instead of "gut feelings." I can't think of a thing they could do better- The entire team was so professional, quick, and a pleasure to work with."

August 2010

"...We Said to Each Other, "I Think We've Found Our Realtor!"

"After having interviewed 5 other Realtors, we interviewed Martin Bouma. As we closed the door behind him, we said to each other, "I think we've found our Realtor!."

I See The Bouma Group As Being Aggressive

 

"In a buyer's market, it is especially important to have a Realtor who seeks every  means possible to locate buyers and at the same time effectively educates the seller to the market price of the home. The Bouma Group exceeds at keeping folks informed as to what other style of homes are also in the same price range as well as asking for feedback from folks who have been shown the home. Shannon and I have sung Martin's praises and will continue to do so. The Bouma Group worked wonderfully for us. It was a great fit. Thank you to all who worked with Shannon and me. We felt totally respected by all the staff. Your efforts paid off in this being a smooth ride for us."

You Took the Time to Explain the Current Market

Thanks for helping us sell our Ann Arbor home. Being a long way from Michigan and in a difficult real estate market I felt good that your organization was working for us. I was never concerned about the details of selling our house because I knew that you guys were on top of it...(We) were both encouraged by all the communication we received from your organization...I don't know how many other homes you were trying to sell at the same time as ours, but I felt like we were important to you... If we hear of anyone in your area thinking of selling their home we'll be sure to share our positive experience with The Bouma Group.

July 27, 2009

The service is excellent and very refreshing!

"The Bouma Group is an extremely professional team of real estate agents, very different compared to previous experiences with Realtors. Everything is so professionally handled, it makes me feel really good, the service is excellent and very refreshing!"

We appreciate your level of communication

"Hi Martin,

Just wanted to let you know that we got your message and appreciate the update. We especially appreciate the communication level of you and your group and believe that if you can't sell our home, no agent can! None of our other agents ever communicated anything to us and it was frustrating to say the least."

 

March 19, 2009

I really like the updates
"It is nice to receive these updates. Tell Martin I really am impressed with the way you folks strive to keep your clients informed !! Thank You!"

Your Employees Speak Highly of You

"[I hired you] because your employees speak so highly of you and your work ethic."

You Are A Stellar Example of Professionalism and Customer Service

"From the moment we drove around to 'just look' at homes with your Buyer's Agent, until the moment when we closed on both our former home and our wonderful new place, we felt thrilled with the complete experience. The home loan company you helped us connect with also completed our service to beyond our expectations. Even Moving Day was more fun because of the great truck you lent us at no charge. You are a stellar example of professionalism and customer service. Richard and I are an unpaid, live advertisement for the great service and caring that resulted from doing business with all of you. Thank you for your kindness, service, and supporting us through this whole process of buying and selling our home."

You Were So Patient!

"The friendly service, the hand-holding throughout the process, and the patience—thanks for letting me use the truck too!!"

You Showed Genuine Concern

"No pressure; genuine concern for finding the best property for me; took care of all the details for me."

There Was No Pressure

"Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We never felt pressure to buy something we didn't like, out of our price range, etc., that we found with other realtors we'd spoken to."

Your Buyer's Agent Acted Solely in Our Best Interest

"We had a hard time finding a realtor who would act solely in our best interest—we hired you because our agent was specifically a buyer's agent who explained the process & took the time to answer our questions. Keep up the good work!"
