What do clients say about Noah Higa?

Clients give Noah Higa 5-star reviews and mention his attention to detail, communication, and how he handles difficult situations. He is a licensed Realtor with Howard Hanna, one of the largest real estate companies in the United States.

Does Noah Higa work with both buyers and sellers?

Yes. Noah Higa represents both buyers and sellers across Southeast Michigan. He guides buyers through the search, offer, and inspection, and handles pricing, professional marketing, and negotiation for sellers.

Do buyers pay anything to use a buyer's agent in Michigan?

Following NAR settlement changes effective August 2024, buyer agent compensation is negotiated separately in each transaction rather than being automatically baked into the listing. In many cases sellers still offer to cover buyer agent costs. Before touring homes, buyers sign a buyer representation agreement that clearly outlines the compensation terms.

How do you decide what to list a home for?

Noah Higa prepares a Comparative Market Analysis using recently sold homes comparable in size, condition, and location. Active listings and expired listings factor in too. The goal is a price that reflects what buyers are actually paying right now. Overpricing is the most common and costly mistake sellers make.

How long does it take to buy a home in Southeast Michigan?

Most financed purchases take 30 to 45 days from accepted offer to closing day. The search phase varies. Some buyers find their home in a few weeks, others take a few months. Ann Arbor and the surrounding markets move quickly at competitive price points, so having pre-approval before starting the search matters.

Does Noah Higa work with first-time home buyers?

Yes. Noah Higa walks first-time buyers through every step of the process: pre-approval, making an offer, what inspection findings mean, and what the numbers look like at closing.

Who I Am

I'm a full-time Realtor at Howard Hanna serving Ann Arbor and Southeast Michigan. I studied finance at Western Michigan University and spent time in the skilled trades before getting into real estate, so I understand both the financial side of a transaction and what I'm actually looking at when I walk through a house.

I work with buyers and sellers across Washtenaw, Livingston, Oakland, and Wayne counties. My approach is straightforward: I tell you what things are worth, what the risks are, and what I'd do if it were my money.

I work across the full range, from vacant land and buildable lots to luxury properties like Ann Arbor Hills, where homes run well past $3 million. I pull the same comps and run the same numbers at every price point. View current listings

What Clients Say

★★★★★

"Noah could not have been better. Other realtors showed us comparables and took notes. Noah had comparables as well, but he also had a biography, recommendations, checklists and time frames for moving, things we could do to help sell, sales he had done, a list of Howard Hanna team members who would be involved, various price points, etc. In other words, he came prepared to sell the house, so picking him was an easy (and excellent) decision. We would recommend him with no reservations."

Peggy

Home Seller

★★★★★January 2026

"I worked with several agents over the years trying to sell this property, and Noah was the one who finally got it sold. He was patient, straightforward, and easy to work with. After going through multiple agents, it was a relief to have someone dependable handling the sale."

Tom Nowatzke

Home Seller

★★★★★March 2026

"We first met Noah at an open house event last year. We liked his gentle demeanor, accurate in presenting the property, not overly aggressive or indifferent. He quickly understood the kind of buyers we were, and we bought our new house through him. His attention to details through the presentation of the house and house inspection was perfect, and we found the handyman whom he recommended very capable. We liked Noah's service as our buyer's representative so much that we hired him to represent us in the sale of our previous house. Again, there was nothing we had to be concerned about his professionalism, and we were very happy to have found a nice buyer within two days of listing. As a married couple over more than 50 years, we have moved thirteen times. Of all the agents we have met, Noah is unquestionably at the top."

What I Offer

Buyer Representation

Before we put an offer in, you'll know what the house is worth, what the inspection is likely to find, and whether the price makes sense. I pull comps before every showing. I worked in the skilled trades, so I walk a house the way an inspector would: the electrical panel, the roof, the plumbing, the foundation. I'll flag likely inspection problems before you're under contract.

Seller Marketing & Sales

Pricing is the biggest decision you'll make as a seller. An overpriced house sits, and a house that sits sells for less. I'll bring you a full CMA showing what comparable homes sold for, where yours fits, and a realistic list price for today's market. Every listing gets professional photography and goes out to Zillow, Realtor.com, and the other major sites. If the price needs to come down, I'll tell you early, before you lose your best window.

Investment Property

Single-family rentals, buildable lots, multi-units, and value-add projects. I run cash flow, cap rate, true carrying cost, and tax estimates based on actual Michigan millage rates. I also know what deferred maintenance costs to fix, which can sink a deal that looks fine on paper.

Neighborhood Expertise

I work across 12 communities in SE Michigan, from Milan and Ypsilanti up to Northville, Plymouth, and Ann Arbor Hills. I know which school zones carry a real price premium and which ones buyers overestimate. I know which areas have flood exposure that won't show on the listing, which streets have been quietly appreciating, and which markets hold value when things slow down.
