We're Mike and Angelle Batten—Realtors, investors, and longtime Southeast Michigan residents. We help people buy, sell, and invest with thoughtful guidance, honest advice, and a clear strategy for moving forward.
Every client and every property is different. Our job is to listen carefully, do the homework, and build a strategy around your goals.
Before we recommend a strategy, we take time to understand what is changing, what matters most to you, and what a successful move looks like.
We study the market, evaluate the property, review comparable sales, and look closely at the numbers so you can make an informed decision.
From pricing and preparation to negotiations, inspections, and closing, we stay involved, communicate clearly, and help you navigate each decision along the way.
We've helped clients buy their first homes, move into homes that better fit their lives, downsize, relocate, and build wealth through real estate. We've also guided people through divorce, the loss of a parent, estates, foreclosure, and properties that needed significant work before they could be sold. Whatever brings you to this decision, you can expect thoughtful guidance, honest communication, and a plan for moving forward.

Before real estate, we were both educators. Mike went on to spend years as an elementary principal, while Angelle built a career in teaching, consulting, coaching, and community leadership. Those experiences shaped the way we work today: we listen, explain complicated information clearly, and help people feel confident making important decisions.
As Realtors and real estate investors, we bring both a client's perspective and an owner's perspective to the table. We understand pricing, preparation, negotiation, renovation, and the practical realities that can affect a property's value. Most importantly, we understand that a real estate decision is rarely just about the house—it is often about what comes next in someone's life.
