The Brokaw Group was a perfect match for selling our home!!! Bethany knew exactly what it would take to find the perfect buyer.
What we liked the most is that Bethany and her team had pride and care for our home. Whatever we asked they gave back 100 percent. Thank you for making this a very successful experience!!!!

Beth and her team did an excellent job representing me on the purchase of my condo. They are went above and beyond with every step of the process. I highly recommend them for the sale or purchase of any property.

After 38 years of living in Las Vegas, I made the decision to return to my home state of Michigan. I had contacted a real estate agent in my home town but was very disappointed at the lack of motivation and help. So I took to Zillow and saw a house that was up for sale so I reached out to the agent Josh Holbrook. Right from the start Josh worked with us getting us showings that worked for our 2 hour drive down to Frankenmuth. He was always available and helped us find our Michigan retirement home. Thank you Josh.

Josh Holbrook Was absolutely amazing to work with. Since day one, he answered all of our questions, calls, texts, emails without hesitation or annoyance. He made the whole process so easy from start to finish. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to buy or sell. Such a kind and genuine person to work with. We couldn’t be happier in our new home! Thank you so much Josh!

Josh Holbrook was our realtor for purchasing our new home and we had such a positive experience that we listed with him to sell the house we were moving from. What I liked the most was the fact that he handled all of the details (and there were many) with minimal intervention on our part. He would say that he would take care of things and he did just that. He kept us informed but not deluged with the small details. This is the kind of realtor you want when you are doing a real estate transaction because it is such a busy and hectic time. I highly recommend Josh.

Working with Josh was nothing short of a miracle (and I don’t throw that word around). We had to relocate from out of state for work, right after the housing market turned into a post-apocalyptic wasteland thanks to the pandemic. Every time a house hit the market, it was snatched up faster free tacos. Brutal. Enter Josh – a rare hybrid of guardian angel and house-hunting ninja.
From the very first conversation, he was on it like white on rice. If we sent him a listing at 2 a.m. during our Zillow-fueled insomnia, he was out there the next day scoping it out like it was a crime scene. Through all the chaos (inspections, approvals, etc.), Josh kept us sane.
And here’s the thing: he actually answered his phone, immediately. Who does that anymore? We never had to chase him down, wonder what was happening, or send smoke signals into the void. I’ve heard horror stories of people putting in offers and then being ghosted for days. Not us. Josh gave us updates so often he could’ve had his own nightly news segment: “Today in Real Estate: You’re Still Waiting, But Here’s Why.”
At the end of it all, we didn’t just get a house, we got a realtor who honestly feels like a friend. If your agent doesn’t make you laugh through the pain of house hunting (and maybe want to grab a drink with them afterward), you’re working with the wrong one.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Bethany at The Brokaw Group and Brokaw Commercial to purchase our home in Michigan. I knew as soon as I met Bethany that we would enjoy working with her; she is professional, very experienced with the current Michigan market, warm and personable, and super approachable which we loved. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable, guiding us through each step with patience and clarity.
With Beth we felt heard and valued as clients because she genuinely cared about our experience buying our second home. We also want to give special thanks to Kelly, Bethany’s personal assistant, whose organization, prompt responses, and attention to detail kept everything on track. Together, they made a fantastic team - professional, efficient, and a true pleasure to work with.
If you’re buying or selling in Michigan, we cannot recommend Bethany and The Brokaw Group enough. They made our dream home a reality!

I couldn't be happier with my experience! Josh was wonderful, he came to our first appointment prepared with data and comarables, he provided lists of things to do and made the entire process easy. We had an offer in 4 days and I don't think that would have been possible without the Brokaw Group's experience and knowledge! Will absolutely be using them for my next home purchase!
