From Joe’s industry experience as an investor to Mike’s amazingly responsive and meticulous day-to-day support to Ani’s capable handling of the purchase process, these folks encompass everything you would want in a team handling your investment search. They are responsive, knowledgeable, helpful, transparent, and most importantly, pleasant! They took the intimidation out of our first investment purchase process, and we look forward to continuing to work with them for future investments. As an investor, you know how important it is to build a trustworthy team, and this team is that important first step of the process. Give them a go. You will not regret it!

I have been pleasantly surprised at the level of service from Nick Harris and the FIRE Realty Team. Nick has gone above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need to be successful. He took a lot of time during our first call to fully understand my needs, and has been extremely responsive since. Most impressively, he notifies me of properties that might be of particular interest to me, and even creates financial reports for the investments. I highly recommend Nick and hope to close many deals with him!

I loved working with Joe and Richi! Amazing people who know the area super well and truly care about what I am looking for. Not only are they professional and responsive and strategic, but their customer service is absolutely top notch. I loved working with them and won’t do another deal there without them.

Hip Hip Hooray! Nick Harris from FIRE Realty helped me nail property # 3 for my portfolio! Excellent communications, always on top of things, and there to back me all the way through closing! It was by far the best experience with real estate agent I’ve had. Thank you Nick and FIRE Realty team!

What Our Customers Have to Say
Posted on RohitOctober 23, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Jessica has been an incredible experience. As a first-time duplex buyer, I had a lot of questions and concerns, and she made the whole process feel manageable and even exciting. She knows the area inside and out, understands the neighborhoods, and is amazing at analyzing comps and sending me the numbers I needed to make confident decisions. What really stood out was her honesty—she always gave clear, straightforward advice, even when it wasn’t exactly what I wanted to hear, which I truly appreciated. Her guidance, responsiveness, and patience made me feel supported at every step, and she went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable with my choices. I could not have asked for a better realtor in this journey, and I am so grateful to her and her team for helping me achieve this milestone. I would recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely invested in their success.Posted on NLT NLTOctober 20, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Terri B for all the hard work and effort you put into getting my home sold!! Great experience.Posted on Scott JenkinsOctober 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Fire Realty Team to acquire my Rentals Units was a real pleasure. My Realtor Julia Fradette is very astute and helped me through the hurdles of the process and learning curve of all things related; she was quite patient as I learned new things. She was there the whole time for me and was never interested in a quick sale, but for me to get the correct thing that served my needs the best. Fire Team’s support staff was fantastic. Mike Helfant with great advice was there to back up Julia when needed. Stephanie Semple in Admin as the Transaction Coordinator was near perfect in timing and execution and always there immediately to aid. Of course Joe Hammel was always there if needed. The network of vendors and service people that Fire Realty Team works with have been great to deal with with. I consider myself very fortunate to have found this great Agency. Everything went off fine. I now have 6 Units and am moving forward with more property transactions with Fire Team Realty. Use these people; I can’t imagine you’d go wrong. I give them a 5 STAR ***** Service Award !Posted on Khalila DouzeSeptember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tadoh from FIRE Realty was fantastic to work with on my first home purchase. He really advocated for me and educated me along the way, he was very honest and generous with his time and opinions, as well as patient and encouraging through any roadblocks and along the process. The FIRE Realty team as a whole is super professional, knowledgable, and inspiring - highly recommend working with them!Posted on Henry StallingsSeptember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great experience working with Mike Helfant and the FIRE team for my first duplex purchase. The team was proactive and quick to get back to my questions during every step along the way. I look forward to working with them again!Posted on Siddhartha VarmaAugust 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Michael as my realtor for investment properties in the Detroit area and have purchased three houses through him. He has been extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and always straight to the point. One of the things I appreciate most is that he has never been pushy about making a purchase—he gives me genuine, thoughtful responses to my questions and allows me to make decisions at my own pace. Every property I’ve purchased through him has been well worth the price, and the entire process has been smooth from start to finish. Michael also goes above and beyond by helping coordinate the transfer of properties to my property management company, making the transition seamless. Overall, I’ve been very happy with his services and will definitely continue working with him for future investment properties in the Detroit area.Posted on Charles RyanAugust 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure working with Shane and the FRT Realty Team. Quick closing with no hassle or headaches.Posted on Gregory Tuayev-DeaneAugust 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was a first time investment property buyer and worked with Matt Hibbs from the FIRE realty team. Before working with Matt, I was in contact with two other agents from other agencies and I'm so glad that I came in contact with Matt because his knowledge of the area, and his prompt, patient communication style was precisely what I needed as a first-time buyer. I cannot recommend him enough and hope I get the opportunity to work with him again. He went above and beyond for me many times and even after closing continues to be of great help. The other great aspect of working with FRT is that they have a great network of mortgage lenders, contractors, handymen, property managers etc. who you get connected with and help make the whole process less intimidating & smoother.
