About FIRE Realty Team

When We Began

Financial Independence Retire Early

Named after the Financial Independence Retire Early movement, FIRE Realty Team is dedicated to helping investors achieve FIRE and build wealth through real estate investments in the Metro Detroit area.

Founded in 2019 by Joe Hammel, FIRE Realty Team quickly made its mark in the industry, gaining recognition as the go to team for investment properties in Metro Detroit. Through hard work, passion, and an emphasis on client satisfaction, FIRE Realty Team became the #1 Medium-Sized Real Estate Team in Michigan and the #3 Medium-Sized Team in the entire country.

This success is attributed to our commitment to going above and beyond for our clients. We don’t just help clients buy or sell properties; we aim to help them achieve long term financial goals. Our team excels in this by leveraging extensive resources and a deep understanding of the investment market.

At FIRE Realty Team, our agents are not just real estate professionals; they are investors themselves. Modeled after Joe’s personal portfolio, which generates over $100,000 in annual cash flow, the team knows what makes a good deal and consistently repeats those results for our clients.
