“Luke was a pleasure to work with. Luke was helpful and patient in answering any and all of my questions (and I had many questions as a first-time homebuyer). He also, even after my closing date, continued to assist me in looking into options for how I could handle a few unresolved and unexpected repairs that were needed on the home. In addition, Luke was always available and prompt in communicating with me. He's also amiable and good humored, which makes house hunting all the more fun - or less stressful - depending on how you look at it!”
“Our experience with Luke was spectacular! He is a refreshingly honest and dependable realtor. He is incredibly responsive and a good communicator, whether via email, phone, or in person. Luke gave us a lot of information for comparison, general market data, and current rates. He was respectful of our needs and desires as we sought to purchase our first home. He asked a lot of great questions to help us clarify our own preferences, and kept those in mind when making recommendations. We never felt pressured by him, and when we made an offer, he took the time to make sure that we understood each phase of the sale. We highly recommend him!”
“Luke made our first time home buying experience a very smooth process. He sat down and explained to us how it all worked and also gave us a handy booklet containing the buying process which had a flowchart and also went into great detail about every step. Also, the booklet had notes about what to look out for and his recommendations. He worked with us very diligently to show us the homes we shortlisted and worked with our schedules and asked us questions to understand what we liked and disliked about a house to understand our requirements better and he always kept us updated on where we were in the buying process. He also gave us his professional opinion and when asked his personal opinion too. We highly recommend Luke and we believe we made a great friend.”
“We had an excellent experience with Luke. Very friendly, easy going, keeps his word, honest, respond fast, has a logical approach to problems, professional, on time, proactive, very helpful, humble, excellent communication skills, always meet you with a smile. He will make you feel you are his only customer.”
“Luke worked with us as we sold our first home. As we were brand new to the process, Luke made sure that we understood every step before moving forward with the listing. Luke was very thorough in his market research as we prepared to list our home. Once it was time to list, Luke helped us stage the house beautifully for photos, and thanks in no small part to that, we had a full schedule of showings almost immediately. Our home was not on the market for long, and thanks to Luke's negotiations, we were able to receive above asking for our home as well as ample occupancy time to move ourselves out. Throughout the entire process, Luke was very responsive to any questions we might have. He helped us navigate the closing process, guiding us through the inspection, appraisal, and formal closing. As parents of a 7-month old, we really appreciated that Luke helped make that process as painless as possible for us. All told, we were pleasantly surprised with how smoothly everything went from listing to closing, and that's a testament to Luke's diligent work and energy.”
“Luke was outstanding from beginning to end. He helped us find the perfect house in the perfect area that fit our family needs, and then listed our current home for sale at a fair price which sold in one weekend. Luke was responsive, honest, and approached the home buying process with a sense of calm confidence. We can not recommend him enough. Luke responded to our calls, emails, and texts promptly and we felt that we had an advocate on our team, working for us, throughout the entire process.”
“We had the pleasure of working with Luke on the sales of our condo during our relocation process. Throughout the entire process, Luke was very professional and personable. He was very prepared for each step and highly communicative. We would highly recommend him as an listing agent.”
“I would recommend Luke Tillotson to anyone looking for a real estate agent. We were really pleased with his work and he went beyond what a real estate agent has to do. My brother passed away and he owned several properties, I lived out of state & Luke made sure that we received the best prices for the market. He helped by advising us of the things we could do to the properties to bring up the values. He even called people for us when we decided to use a company. He made several long distance trips to some of the properties talking to neighbors and checking on interest in the properties. I was able to close all the properties in my state with Luke sending the documents to sign, notarize & overnight back to him. I will definitely call Luke when I intend to buy in MI. He did us such a great service. You will not go wrong if you hire Luke.”
“Luke was absolutely awesome to work with. As first time buyers my girlfriend and I knew next to nothing about home buying, and Luke made the process as painless as possible. Our first meeting was a casual dinner over which Luke walked us through the process like we were old friends. From there he remained very patient as we drug him to multiple viewings, and helped us to stay positive when we got discouraged. Finally we found our home! (Took two offers to get it) and we had Luke to thank. Even after the offer was accepted Luke remained closely engaged, communicating with us and the lender to be sure that we understood the process and felt confident as we went along. (He even went above and beyond and drove to the house to get us measurements of the living room so we could go shopping for a couch). Whether you're a first time home buyer or a fifth, if you are looking for a home in the greater Washtenaw county area I highly recommend working with Luke Tillotson.”
“Luke was amazing through out the entire home buying process. This was my first home so I was a bit overwhelmed. He was able to help me understand the process, what I should be aware of, and much more. He was patient, and honest with me while looking at a variety of homes. Once we moved forward with the purchase, he helped with making sure we were on track, and I was understanding everything that was happening, why things had to be done, and was great with addressing all of my questions/concerns. I highly recommend working with Luke!”
“Luke is the best of the best! Luke helped my husband and I through selling and purchasing our homes. He is honest, knowledgeable and willing to help every step of the way! We had never sold a home before and had many questions, Luke was beyond helpful and exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Luke is prompt, responsive and made us feel comfortable asking any question, big or small. I would recommend Luke to any family or friend looking to buy or sell.”
“Bottom line - if you're looking for a real estate agent do yourself a favor and go with Luke Tillotson. My family worked with Luke to sell multiple properties in a complicated probate case so I knew what to expect in terms of superb customer service. That being said, when my husband and I worked with Luke to buy our first investment property in Ann Arbor I was still blown away. Luke is upfront and honest and incredibly hard working. He was there on site when we couldn't be and multiple times flagged for us things during the inspection process that were critical to getting us to closing. He exudes professionalism and integrity and we'll definitely be working with him again in the future!”
“Luke Tillotson was more than amazing. I could write a review for an hour on how happy we were with Luke, but want this to be read so I'll get to the point. After living the condo life for many years, my partner and I wanted to purchase a home in Ann Arbor. The Ann Arbor market was hot, with many houses already being sold within a couple days of posting. Luke was acutely aware of the fast-paced market and showed us houses within hours of our request. He also let us know personally (not just through the listing portal) when he saw a newly listed house that met our criteria. Luke was also wonderfully understanding as we modified criteria over time and went through some of the ups and downs of purchasing our first single family home. Ultimately, Luke found our perfect home. Even though it met our criteria, we had passed on seeing it based on the online pictures. It has been a few months now and we are thrilled with our new home. Luke is very knowledgeable and honest; if he doesn't know the answer to a question, he will state that and find it out. If you are looking for an honest, friendly, knowledgeable, and diligent realtor, I cannot recommend Luke Tillotson more highly.”
“Luke was a very knowledgeable and reliable agent. He even drove to meet us at an open house an hour from his own home in a snowstorm in Feb 2018! We are appreciative of his strong communication skills because he got us the perfect starter home. Highly recommend to anyone looking, regardless of area or size of home or budget. He is respectful and tries to understand exactly what you are looking for so you do not waste your time looking at houses that don't meet your desired criteria.”
“My husband and I had such a great experience buying our first home with Luke. Luke was recommended to us by a friend who was also looking into buying in the area. We reached out to him and were able to set up a meeting to get to learn more about the process and get to know Luke. This meeting was so informative and we left feeling confident in Luke and were very excited to work with him. We ended up having a change of plans and needed to move to the Detroit area and Luke stuck with us and helped us find the perfect home. We were on a very tight timeline and Luke really went above and beyond what we expected to accommodate our schedules and help us see all of the houses we wanted to see. He was very informative and always easy to reach and quick to respond. Once we put in an offer and it was accepted, he helped every step of the way and we always felt like we knew exactly what was going on. We feel very fortunate to have worked with Luke and can't recommend him highly enough!”
“Luke is an awesome agent! We were first time home buyers and he walked us through every step of the process. He's knowledgeable, proactive, and personable. He was patient as we figured out exactly what we were looking for, and he helped us find a home in Ann Arbor that fits all of our needs. We'd definitely hire him again!”
“We worked with Luke for over a year to find exactly the right house in which to downsize. He understood that we were quite particular. He met us at MANY locations and never pressed us to decide on any one place. When we finally found our house he was extremely helpful in all areas, including the closing. We highly recommend Luke.”
“We met with 3 other realtors before meeting Luke Tillotson. Once we met him, we knew that he was the PERFECT person to help us find our perfect 1st home! He was reliable, flexible, patient, and kind. He answered every question, replied to us quickly, and was such a joy to be around! He walked us through the entire process in great detail and helped us find a rental home a few years ago, while we were making plans to purchase in the future. When we were ready to purchase this year, we knew that we needed Luke Tillotson! He was honest with us and made the entire process FUN! We truly felt supported and knew that he had our best interests at heart! I cannot imagine going through this process with any other realtor. He was exactly who and what we needed to to go through this process and find our 1st home. Not only have we found a realtor for life, we have made a new friend and for all of that, we are so thankful! We will happily refer anyone and everyone to Luke Tillotson! He is simply the BEST!”
“We were first introduced to Luke through a friend in the area as we were moving from out of state. He was very quick to connect with us and started immediately on developing our profile that met both what we were looking for in our next home as well as meeting our budget. Luke was very attentive and helped us navigate everything from refining our search parameters after seeing some homes with us (even in a blizzard!) to home inspections, finance options, and offered any help he could when trying to sell our home in Iowa. Luke is very thorough in his research and really listens to what your needs are; offering suggestions only when appropriate and necessary. I would absolutely trust him to help any of my friends or family navigate purchasing their next home or even rental- in fact I already have!”
“Luke is a terrific realtor and a pleasure to work with. We're first-time home buyers. After holding off for years because the market was so competitive, we started working with Luke because we wanted to see a condo that looked too good to be true at the price listed. We ended up passing on the condo (it really was too good to be true!), but we decided to keep house hunting with Luke. Luke quickly understood where we were at and where we needed to go. He spent a few hours giving us a basic course in real estate and provided useful resources to refer to throughout the process. Just three months later, we were moving into a home that we love! We found Luke to be very knowledgeable about all things house- and real-estate-related, and when he didn't know something he would find out the answer for us quickly. At every step, he gave great advice without being pushy, and he listened carefully to our preferences and priorities. The other vendors he recommended and worked with (home inspector, real estate attorney, mortgage lender, etc.) were all top-notch. He was very fast and responsive when it came to showing us properties and writing offers, which is essential in this market, and he felt like a real partner throughout the entire process. We couldn't recommend him more highly!”
“From the very first time we met, I got the sense that he was very customer focused - he listened and remembered what my wife and I wanted to accomplish and as we would discuss options, he would ask how the outcome would affect our goals. Every piece of advice, recommendation and answer was 100% accurate and ensured that we made the absolute best decisions in both leasing a new home and selling an income property. As an added bonus, Luke has become someone I consider a friend as well as a trusted agent. When I'm asked if there is anyone I recommend, my response is "don't sign anything or make any promises until you've talked to Luke". I am looking forward to partnering with Luke as we prepare for our next purchase.”
“My husband and I were moving overseas and we needed to sell our home fast. We bought our place in 2018 and did some upgrades. We were looking at some agents and invited Luke to share how he would go about selling our house. These are some of the things we liked about Luke: - He was very methodical in how he assessed the price point. He didn't try to sell our house”
“I have worked with Luke for a few years now and he is always prompt, very knowledgeable and if he doesn't know something he goes above to find out, he's very professional, willing to go above and beyond to get things done and get you the best deal! Would highly recommend Luke!”
“Luke was absolutely great to work with. Very responsive and knowledgeable and provided good guidance through the entire process. He had great tips on where to look and how to hone our own preferences and possessed good knowledge of the local landscape (neighborhoods to check out, inspectors to use). I would definitely recommend him to a friend or family member seeking a realtor.”
“Luke exceeded all expectations during the entire home buying process. This was our first home and Luke took the time to walk us through each step of the process. He was responsive and on top of all the details. He made sure we were able to make informed decisions throughout the home buying experience. With the added challenge of buying during COVID, Luke was very helpful with facilitating the entire process virtually. We are exceptionally happy with our experience and would recommend Luke to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“Luke was very strongly recommended to us by a friend, and he did a fantastic job! On our first meeting he took the time to thoroughly walk us through the home buying process, and had even prepared a presentation on how COVID-19 has affected the buying process. Since we didn't live in Detroit, he offered to do video walkthroughs of each house that we were interested in. He is incredibly responsive, and was in touch with us literally 24/7. When it came time to make an offer he negotiated hard and got us a great price on our first choice home. He genuinely made us feel like we were his first priority. More importantly, Luke is very charismatic and personable. We consider ourselves lucky to have worked with him, and he will be our go to realtor for as long as we are in the Detroit area!”
“Luke was an amazing realtor and helped my fiancé and I through the whole process of buying a home from start to finish. As first-time home buyers we didnt know what to expect or what the home buying process entailed, but Luke walked us through each step with incredible detail so we never felt loss. He stayed on top of everything to make sure things got done in a timely manner and was always super easy to reach if we had any questions. Luke found us an amazing home that was well within our budget and never tried to sell us a house that he himself wouldn't feel comfortable living in. I would recommend Luke to anyone that is looking to buy or sell their house. He did a fantastic job and went above and beyond the duties of what a typical realtor would offer. Thank you, Luke, for finding us our first home!”
