Alison’s journey in real estate spans five years, focusing on first-time homebuyers and estates. As a listing agent handling both buying and selling, she has become a key player in the Greater Lansing market.

Known for its low cost of living and short commute times, the market reflects this mix of professionals and students.
In the ever-changing economic landscape, Alison navigates the real estate market, helping sellers price their homes appropriately and guiding buyers to submit competitive offers. Despite market fluctuations, Michigan remains relatively affordable compared to other regions, with trends showing increased offers over asking price and a majority of houses closing above list price.

Overcoming the challenges of distance, she conducted virtual tours, providing in-depth insights and ultimately helping them secure a home they were thrilled with. This personalized approach reflects Alison’s commitment to her passion for real estate.
In a personal venture, Alison is currently involved in renovating her own home, a 1909 build. Facing challenges and incorporating interior design principles, she not only enhances functionality but also imparts valuable experiences to clients considering properties that may require renovation.
Alison’s achievements extend beyond real estate, with her hosting an Emmy-nominated show, “The American Dream TV.” Through this platform, she features local businesses like the Oldtown General Store, fostering community engagement. Alison believes this exposure benefits both her clients and the community, showcasing the area’s attractions to potential residents.
In her five-year milestone in real estate, Alison emphasizes strategies and lessons that have not only allowed her to survive but thrive in the industry. Recognizing the challenging nature of working with buyers, she embraces a “Nothing in life is fair” philosophy, maintaining a positive attitude and focusing on what she can control.
