“Vance was very knowledgeable about many things involving the different homes we looked at. He also mentioned items that may or may not be a factor in the purchase of a home (dirt roads, road noise, etc .), that we had not considered. It was a good education.”

“Working with Vance was a pleasure. We were first time home buyers and he took the time to explain in detail the processes that we would have to go through and complete. Vance was also very responsive during our time working with him and was very knowledgeable on all areas around Ann Arbor. We would highly recommend him as a buyers or sellers agent. ”

“I just recently met Vance as he was my late sister's realtor. He made such an impression on her that it was one of her last requests that he sell her home after she passed. Vance helped me with the entire process and it went as smooth as possible.”

“There seemed to be issues with communication. There were several examples of this including timing issues with the closing which caused last minute confusion and stress. I also did not feel like much was being done to actively market the home. There was an open house and I was grateful for that, but beyond that, I dont feel like much else was done.”

“Vance went above and beyond the Call of Duty to sell my home. He is knowledgeable in all aspects of a real estate transition. I was not able to be there because I am in a rehab center and Vance always stepped in and helped facilitate many issues. He is a personable friendly and honest advocate! I give him my highest recommendation. He will work hard for you and you can trust him.”

“Having met Vance in 2016 when purchasing a home in Milan, MI my husband and I already knew what an excellent man and agent he was. My husband and I were able to have a stress free experience when purchasing our home in Michigan (at the time we lived in Illinois). 6 1/2 years later we are moving to Missouri ; entering early retirement. The first person we thought of was Vance. Who else would give us an excellent experience in selling our home in Michigan? Through these two experiences he has been informative, clear in communication, was always available to answer our questions, and was able to show us the right directions we needed to go in completing this journey. Thank you, Vance. Tim and Debbie Shrader”

“We first met Vance many years ago when my mother moved from PA to MI and we needed a realtor. He was very professional but also VERY caring about my mom's feelings and needs. This was a HUGE move for her! When my mother passed, we once again had Vance as our agent to sell her condo in Chelsea. This time he was very attentive to us because it was a very difficult time for our family having lost mom. Fast forward to this past Tuesday. After many months of delays, our son and daughter-in-law just closed on their new condo in Canton. Of course who was sitting across the table?? Vance Shutes. To our family Vance is no longer a 'realtor'. Vance is part of our family and I have heard that from many people who have used him as their realtor. Our kids were very happy with Vance and we would recommend him to anyone who may need a realtor. Vance comes HIGHLY recommended by the Sholtis family!”

“Vance is my Real Estate Agent and has been on past occasions. He is professional, calm, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I've purchased (2) condos thru Vance, sold (1) and is the only Agent I reach out to when doing business. In 2021 we were looking for existing homes and after being outbid, he showed us a new place under construction. Well, several months later, I'm writing this testimonial from my new home office.”

“Vance is just a very awesome and stellar person and realtor! He helped me sell my house quickly and for a good price several years ago.

Vance was extremely patient, kind, knowledgable, and efficient. He was able to help me find the perfect place! I know he went above and beyond what most realtors would do. I would highly recommend using Vance if you are in need of any real estate services!”

“We had to find a house quickly and we were unable to be in the Ann Arbor area to look for housing. Although this could have been a very difficult situation, Vance made it easy because of his dedication to helping us find the perfect house for us. He went above and beyond by checking out housing options for us snd visiting the properties when we were unable to, letting us know when houses that fit our preferences became available, answering all of our many questions, he explained difficult things in a way that was easy to understand, he was present when we needed him to be, and he never made us feel like we were taking too much of his time. Vance is patient, wise, caring, and very knowledgeable about all that buying a house entails. He is also very quick to respond making communication easy with him. Vance truly cares for his clients and we are lucky to have worked with him. ”

“Second review for Vance since he also brokered the purchase for us of our new house in a difficult situation. Even with the market going crazy, Vance was able to give us advice that kept us from overpaying for properties, ensured we got a property that was right for us, and negotiated on our behalf-- not just for a bigger commission for himself. Additionally, my wife & I got COVID a week before closing and he personally took charge at making sure our closing went off without a hitch-- delivering documents and ferrying checks back & forth us so that we could maintain quarantine. You will not find a better agent!”

“This is the second time we've worked with Vance and his commitment to making sure our home sold for top dollar while respecting our asset limitations is above reproach. He met with us before our house was even close to being market ready and gave us the right path on what we needed to do to make our house market competitive. When the house hit the market, we knew we had priced it right since we got three offers above asking within 24 hours! We were able to complete the sale negotiations while on vacation in Florida, and the entire process went off without a hitch! Vance is the #1 real estate agent in our minds!! ”

“Vance was incredible to work with. As a first time home buyer I didn’t know much about the process of buying a home or some of the finer details to look for in a home. Vance was very knowledgeable and was a huge help in pointing out things in the homes we looked at and how to approach the process of buying a house. Vance was a huge help with all of it and he made the process run smoothly. I’d recommend Vance to anyone who is shopping for a home! Thank you Vance!!”

He is excellent with followup, keeps in touch after the sale or purchase, and uses his experience to offer really good advice. I will work with him again next time.”
