When it comes to the area real estate market, Ann Arbor gets most of the time and attention. Thanks to a new office in Ypsilanti, staffed with local agents, homebuyers looking to purchase there can get the attention they're looking for.
"There was a need," says Dennis O'Hare, associate broker and manager of the new Ypsi office. "We just had an awful lot of people ask when are we going to open an office in Ypsilanti. Now we have agents who know Ypsilanti, believe in Ypsilanti and support Ypsilanti."
The 1,675 square foot office opened on June 4 on S. Huron. O'Hare says the central location was chosen for its easy access to the highway, as well as high visibility. The office currently employs seven agents and one administrative staff, but that's just the beginning.
"Our goal here is to have get up to 20 agents," says O'Hare. "As we continue to grow, we'll keep adding staff as well. I'm recruiting constantly for new agents, as well as experienced agents."
The new Real Estate One office will celebrate a grand opening on July 17.
