A Fresh Start for Your Home Sale

Your house is not the problem, Forhad.

Last month, 14 homes between $290,000–$360,000 sold in Sterling Heights. Yours should have been one of them.

What Happened

  • Not Enough Buyers Saw It

    Your home was listed, but it didn't reach the people who were actually looking to buy.

  • The Photos Didn't Do It Justice

    Dark rooms, odd angles, the pictures didn't show what makes your home special.

  • The Price Felt Off

    Maybe too high to start, or price drops that made buyers wonder what was wrong.

  • You Were Left Guessing

    Weeks without updates. No idea what buyers thought after showings.

  • Cookie-Cutter Marketing

    The same approach used for every listing, nothing tailored to your home or neighborhood.

  • Money Left on the Table

    Offers weren't negotiated well. You gave up more than you needed to.

What's Different Now

  • We'll Get It In Front of Real Buyers

    Targeted outreach, agent networks, and thoughtful distribution so the right people actually see your home.

  • Photography That Does It Justice

    Professional photography, video walkthrough, and twilight shots that show your home at its best.

  • A Price Grounded in Data

    Fresh market data and thoughtful positioning to attract serious offers, not bargain hunters.

  • You'll Always Know Where Things Stand

    Showing feedback within 24 hours. Regular updates. Direct access whenever you have questions.

  • A Plan Built Around Your Home

    Thoughtful, custom marketing that highlights what makes your property genuinely unique.

  • Every Dollar Fought For

    Careful negotiation from offer to closing, protecting your bottom line at every step.

“You did everything right. Your home just needs the right plan, and the right partner.”

Homes that relaunch with a thoughtful plan tend to regain momentum quickly. Homes that wait usually end up competing against more inventory, getting less attention, and absorbing additional holding costs. The next few weeks matter.

Why Tegest Walker

What my clients say, in their own words

“Agents overpromise and underdeliver.”

Tegest Walker is an exceptional realtor. From beginning to end she was there every step of the way, she went above and beyond, she assisted with a minor repair that needed to be done to the home. She was very knowledgeable and professional… I would give her 10 stars if I could.

J.E., Verified Client

“I won't get top dollar for my home.”

Tegest was instrumental in helping me sell my Southfield home and purchase a home in Plymouth within a 2 month timeframe… She was very responsive, gave recommendations using her data analytics tools, and was extremely realistic, personable, and energetic during a competitive and stressful market search.

G.L., Verified Client

“How do I know they understand my market?”

Tegest listened carefully to what we were looking for, were incredibly responsive to all our questions, and provided expert guidance every step of the way. Their knowledge of the market and attention to detail truly set them apart.

R.K., Verified Client

“I tried selling before and it didn't work.”

This agent is the most patient agent I've ever met! Everything that could be thrown at her was, and she handled it with such grace and kindness. I recommend Tegest for your next home purchase or sale.

D.C., Verified Client

“The process will be stressful and complicated.”

If you are looking for a trustworthy realtor who gets things done, Tegest is the one. Tegest helped my husband and I get through the home-buying process so smoothly, we went from first call to closing in just over a month. She also sold my previous condo in a heartbeat and with zero issues or delays.

O.I., Verified Client

What Sets Me Apart

  • A University of Michigan–Ann Arbor graduate who built her early career at Goldman Sachs and Fortune 500 companies before real estate, a numbers-first perspective that still shapes every listing strategy.
  • Her path into real estate began as an investor, long before becoming an agent.
  • Her name, Tegest, means patience, and her clients describe exactly that: someone who listens, never rushes a decision, and won't steer them toward a choice that doesn't fit.
