What Our Customers Have to Say
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I set out working with Matthew Bahoura and Josie Wilt a few months ago to buy my first property and my goal wasnt just to buy a property but find a great group of people to help me get it done. There's a huge amount of complexities that come along purchasing a property, especially when doing it from out of state. Working with these guys was easily the best decision I ever made and my experience was nothing short of spectacular with this group. Matt is very caring, responsive, and with his experience he will help you get the property you want. Don't be fooled by Matts calm demeanor up front, because after you start working with him his attitude is anything but. If you want to work with someone that will help you stay on top of navigating the complexities of buying a property, Matt will be right there along side of you not only helping you solve problems but on the ground quickly taking action and getting things done. Everytime something seemed to get off track or go sideways with the deal Matt was always there talking through every problem and ensured everything kept moving forward through closing. I believe it's priceless when working with true professionals during this process and with Matt and his team I definitely always felt confident about making my decision.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A big thank you to Brett and team for getting us across the finish line on our investment property. His expertise and resources have been invaluable as new investors in Detroit. It was a pleasure working with him and we hope to work with Brett on future investments!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt Hibbs was a tremendous help during both the scouting and purchasing process. As a new investor he answered many(!!) dumb questions and helped me understand the market in Wayne County better than I think any agent could. I will 100% be purchasing more homes with Matt and he has become the first person I mention when I am asked about what has helped me most on my real estate journey.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank You Fire Team for a job well done. Thanks, Greg and Amy WestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been working with Matt Hibbs from the FIRE Realty Team on a few investment property purchases and would highly recommend him as a buyer’s agent. Matt consistently brings me great deals, accompanied by thoughtful analysis and his honest opinions. He's incredibly responsive and always takes the time to answer my questions with patience, clarity, and detail. He's also very thorough. Even for borderline deals I'm unsure about, Matt would still take the time to walk the property and check key details to help me make a more informed decision - always with a "no pressure" attitude, which I really appreciate. Matt knows the local market and regulations very well, and he clearly understands the needs and mindset of investors. He's always looking out for my best interests and has helped me negotiate effectively throughout each transaction. If you're looking for someone who will truly be on your side, go the extra mile, and make sure you're not missing out on great opportunities - Matt is the guy. Highly recommend working with him and the FIRE Realty Team!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Worked with Mike Ventimiglia on my first investment property purchase. He and his team made the entire process seamless and straight forward for me - even when there were hiccups on the inspection. Mike took care of business when needed and was very communicative throughout the whole process. I will definitely be using Mike on the next transaction. Thanks team!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used them for multiple transactions. They work fast and always give constant communication.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked directly with Matt H, and he was incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the process. After hustling through the market, we finally closed on a property! Thank you Matt, and your entire team for all the support! I will surely be working with you all again! I highly recommend their team.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had to share how awesome Mr. Shane was in helping us get our first rental property! From day one, he was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Shane really took the time to understand what we were looking for and guided us through the whole process with ease. He was always just a text away whenever we had questions, and his insights into the market were super helpful. Thanks to Shane, we were able to find the perfect property that fits our needs! If you’re thinking about buying or renting, definitely reach out to Mr. Shane!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I met Shane Snow in early to mid-2023. At the time, we had just formed our LLC and were in the process of securing funding to embark on our new real estate investment venture. With so many possible paths in real estate, we thought we had a solid plan after doing extensive research. However, after meeting Shane, it was clear he not only understood our vision but also recognized that we still had a lot to learn. He has spent countless hours, collectively with my partner and me, helping us understand the intricacies of this industry. In many ways, he has taken us under his wing, serving not only as a fantastic agent but also as a trusted mentor. This wasn’t originally the role we envisioned, but it has been incredibly valuable. Since then, we’ve completed our first flip and successfully sold the property. What’s particularly impressive is that in a neighborhood where houses were sitting on the market for months, our property was under contract just four days after listing. Shane’s expertise in the Detroit market has been invaluable, and his knowledge of real estate strategies has been crucial in helping us develop new ideas to achieve our long-term goals. We are now already in the process of looking for our next property, which we plan to make the first of many rental properties to add to our ever-growing portfolio. Because of all this, if I’m buying property in Detroit, Shane is my go-to person—and that won’t change as long as he’s in the game.

The answer varies based on your investment strategy. If you're house hacking (living in the property), you could get started with as little as a few thousand dollars. For a straight investment, we typically recommend having at least $25,000-$30,000. This amount covers the down payment, closing costs, and ensures you have some reserves for unexpected expenses.
