Ferndale moves at its own pace. Houses trade hands quickly, buyers come in from all over Metro Detroit, and the commercial storefronts along the main corridors turn over for reasons that have nothing to do with the residential market. Vincent A. Colbert has spent 28 years in Michigan real estate watching markets like this one shift, and he brings that perspective to every Ferndale buyer, seller and investor he works with.
Working with Vincent in Ferndale
There is no handoff here. Vincent works one-on-one with his clients, from the first phone call through to the closing table, which means the person who reviews your listing price is the same person who answers your questions on inspection day. He listens first, gives you a straight read on what the market will bear, and then does the work of getting the deal done. Services are provided through Fortuna Realty LLC.
Clients have rated the practice 4.9 out of 5 across 7 reviewsand the reasons they give tend to be the same ones.
Vincent Colbert is highly professional. As a client, I appreciate that he keeps you informed through every step of the process. He's a strong advocate.
Vincent is a MI Licensed Realtor and a member of the Grosse Pointe Board of Realtors (GPBR)handling both residential and commercial transactions across Southeast Michigan.
