As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone to advertise your home, show it to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork, and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Often, buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience, which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one selling fast.

Testimonials
"Excellent realtor highly recommend. Worked with John for over 10 years in real estate deals he is dedicated and gets the results! If selling your property or buying property John has your best interests in mind and is very knowledgeable. This realtor represented me and I currently have him represent me on other deals."
-Derrick George, Client
"I found John to be honest, efficient, hard-working, and prompt. He has good business sense. I highly recommend him for any service he undertakes in the future or present time."
-Helen Ochs, Client
"We met John at an open house. At the time we weren't super serious about listing our house and buying another one. John ended up showing us a few hours a week or so later, one of which we wrote an offer on. Needless to say, things moved quickly--we listed our house and had multiple offers within 48 hours. Oh, did I mention the COVID-19 pandemic became an issue about half-way through this process? Adding that complexity is sure to stress any home seller/buyer, but John kept the wheels on the train! John was very friendly, extremely responsive to texts/phone calls/emails, and has done what he said he would do when he said he would do it. If nothing else, that's more than you get with most brokers! We would not hesitate to use John again!"
-Brandon and Stephanie Coop, Client
"We highly recommend John Cotter for your home-buying needs! John was there for us the entire time we were looking for a home, which meant several months of searching and navigating a very hot market. Anytime we wanted to see a house, John made himself available that very same day, which meant we were able to find the perfect house and then act fast to lock it down - a must when houses have multiple offers after only a few days. John is very responsive and easy to talk to, and it made the process of a buying our first house in a highly competitive market manageable. He was always on top of communication with the seller and helped us work with the seller to get necessary work done on the house before closing. All in all, you can't go wrong with Agent John Cotter!"

I’ve been a licensed real estate professional in Michigan since 2005, and I’ve spent my entire life immersed in the real estate world. Coming from a real estate family, I often joke that I’ve been “practicing” real estate for 46 years—I’ve truly grown up around the industry. This deep-rooted exposure, combined with the guidance of a fantastic mentor, has given me a unique perspective on the needs of both buyers and sellers. While every client is different, most share a desire for someone who offers excellent service, expert knowledge, and tangible value throughout the transaction. I’m passionate about what I do because it allows me to make a real difference in people’s lives. I take pride in my ability to offer valuable insights and counsel, helping clients navigate the often-complex decisions involved in buying or selling a home. I believe that effective communication and understanding are key to a successful real estate transaction, which is why I always begin with an informal meeting—especially with first-time buyers. This allows us to discuss the process, set expectations, and address any questions or concerns, ensuring there are no surprises along the way. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned seller, I’m committed to providing exceptional service, exceeding your expectations, and delivering real value. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Feel free to call or text me at 248-662-8106 to learn more.
