I have known Gene for over 40 years as a remodeler, as a State Representative, and most recently as my real estate agent. And also, for the entire time as a friend.
He did a yeoman’s amount of mental and physical “heavy lifting” while aiding me in the presentation of my house and property. In addition to using his abundant experience and energy in dealing with potential buyers and their agents along with all the associated steps required in the process.
His advice and emotional support in helping me make decisions regarding how to downsize for my move to a smaller residence, and help in dispensing of the other items eased the entire process for me. Even dealing with the occasional hiccups along the way.
Through it all, Gene helped balance the stressful periods over the approximately four months from inception to completion, with many pleasurable conversation and experiences working together toward a common goal. He was always eager to discuss with me and answer all my questions (lots of them) and educate me about the entire scope of the process. He always treated me like the individual I am and not just another “seller”. The end result was fantastic in that the buyer could not have been nicer and I am very pleased that they will get to enjoy what my wife and I had created and enjoyed for so many years.

As a first time home buyer the process can be very overwhelming. Not only do you feel the pressure of finding the perfect home, but the amount of paperwork and possible complications can be very stressful.
As a real estate agent with many years of experience, Gene DeRossett, simplified that process for me.
He was there to help every step of the way. Gene’s main office was an hour away from the are I was looking to buy a home in, but that didn’t stop him from driving there multiple times a week for showings. The personalized service he showed me made me feel like I was his only client.

We never thought when you built our house in 1978 that 38 years later you would be selling it for us. We selected you to build it for us for the same reasons we selected you to sell it – your honesty and integrity.
The selling worked out just as well as the building. You have us the right amount of push to get us and it ready. Because of your years of experience, you were able to connect us to the qualified contractors needed to prepare our home for sale. Your help in getting them to schedule us was simply invaluable. We would never have been able to meet the timeline we laid out for ourselves without that help.
Thank you for all the time you took answering all our questions. holding open houses, doing all the follow-up with people who showed an interested and your frequent visits to assure us we were on the right track.
We feel that you are the ultimate professional and can’t think of anything you could have done better. We think anyone buying or selling a home should definitely use you as their agent.

We want to thank you for doing the sale of our home on Waters Rd. Your wide spread knowledge was very much appreciated. The patience you had to find us the right new owner was right on.
You were very helpful to us in many ways in our journey to a new lifestyle. The transition was made much easier by having you as our realtor. We are enjoying our new place. We will not hesitate to recommend you as a great realtor to work with.
Thanks again friend,

Gene has helped us purchase three homes and sell two with complete peace of mind. He is experienced and knowledgeable in all aspects of the home buying process from the paperwork to the construction of the home.
During the selling process he held weekly open houses and communicated effectively with the buyers agents and title company, making it a stress free process for us. His familiarity with the various requirements of Washtenaw County and surrounding areas is extremely helpful. We highly recommend Gene to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home!
