The Short Version

This page explains how I price and market a home for sellers in Farmington Hills, Michigan. I am Tom Gilliam, a REALTOR® with RE/MAX Classic, with 24 years of Oakland County experience and more than 700 closed transactions.

I price from comparable sales near your home, not from a city average, and I market each listing with professional photography and video, digital campaigns, and buyer targeting across metro Detroit.

How I price your Farmington Hills home

An accurate price is the most important decision in a sale. I start with a comparative market analysis built from recent sales of similar homes near yours, because a city median can be far from what your specific home will bring.

For context, GreaterMLS data for Farmington Hills single-family homes over the 12 months ending August 2026 shows a median sale price of $420,000, 17 days on market, homes selling at 100.0% of the last list price, and 1.9 months of supply. I refresh these numbers every month on my Farmington Hills area page.

To see where your own home stands, start with the free instant valuation, then request an in-person valuation.

How I market your home

Every listing gets a plan built around the buyers most likely to pay full value for it. My selling strategy includes:

  • Professional photography and video tours
  • Digital marketing campaigns
  • In-depth market analysis
  • Home staging advice
  • Buyer targeting across metro Detroit and beyond

For luxury homes for sale in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and waterfront homes for sale in Oakland County, Michigan, the marketing goes further, from aerial video to detailed lake and dock disclosures. See how I market luxury homes in Oakland County for the full approach.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the best realtor in Farmington Hills, Michigan?

Look at local tenure, recent sales in your specific area, and verifiable credentials, and compare at least three agents. I have 24 years of Oakland County experience and more than 700 closed transactions, and you can verify any Michigan license through Michigan LARA.

How do you price a home in Farmington Hills?

I build a comparative market analysis from recent sales of similar homes near yours, then explain the range and the reasoning. That is more accurate than a city average.

What does your marketing include?

Professional photography and video tours, digital marketing campaigns, in-depth market analysis, home staging advice, and buyer targeting across metro Detroit and beyond.

Who do you serve best?

I serve sellers in Farmington Hills, Novi, Northville, Bloomfield Hills, West Bloomfield, and across Oakland County. My SRES designation supports senior sellers and family transitions, and my luxury and waterfront marketing supports higher-end homes.

How do I find out what my home is worth?

Use the free instant valuation for a quick estimate, then request an in-person valuation. A comparative market analysis built from recent sales near you is more accurate than an online estimate alone.
