    About 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 buyers and sellers. While every client is different, most desire 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. Effective communication and understanding are key to a successful real estate transaction, so 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 no surprises. 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. To learn more, feel free to call or text me at 248-662-8106.

    Relocating from out of state can be overwhelming, but working with John Cotter made the entire process smooth, reassuring, and even enjoyable. As someone who didnt know much about Michigan, I was initially nervous about finding the right neighborhood and navigating a new housing market. John immediately put me at ease with his deep knowledge of the area, his thoughtful recommendations, and his ability to truly listen to what I needed. He went above and beyondaEUR"offering virtual tours, breaking down local market trends, and even sharing insights about schools, commute options, and community vibes. John was incredibly responsive and patient, always taking the time to answer my questions and explain every step of the process. His professionalism and warmth made me feel like I had a trusted partner on the ground. Thanks to John, I found a home that fits my needs perfectly and feel confident about my move to Michigan. I cant recommend him highly enough to anyone relocating or looking for a realtor who genuinely cares.

    John is an outstanding and highly experienced agent. He helped me thru a difficult house purchase from start to finish, assisting me with his calm, professional demeanor. His breadth of knowledge for real estate is impressive. With his professional insightful advice, he helped me get my offer accepted for a house that had considerable interest and continued to manage the difficult home buying process up to the closing. He is very responsive and communicates effectively. I highly recommend John!

    John did an incredible job selling my parents house. He had incredible insight into the market to price the house correctly. It sold very quickly and for a higher price that we didnt even anticipate. His photographer did an incredible job as well! The experience was smooth and effortless on our part.
