Tell Us Your Story

Working with Team Schaumburg was such a fantastic experience!

Kathy and Sue are knowledgeable and understand the market. They gave us incredible advice on what to do to prepare our house to sell. We followed their wise advice and sold our home in hours over asking! Everything they did was incredibly professional! If we could give them more than five stars on this review, we would! (May 2023)

Kirk and Brenda (Farmington Hills)

Listed and sold my condo in less then a month!

Had some issues with the first buyer which was not the fault of Sue or Kathy. After that was settled everything else ran so smoothly I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They kept me in the loop on every aspect of the selling process. I easily give them a five star rating. They were extremely helpful and professional and would recommend them to anyone selling or buying a home. They will work extremely hard for you! (November 2022)

Karen - Farmington Hills Seller

Sue and Kathy Schaumburger are an incredible team.

When I first met them, I could immediately tell that they knew what they were doing and that I was in the right hands. My mom, who has decades of real estate experience in Florida, was also very impressed. They were clearly knowledgeable and rightfully confident. When they came to my home, they thoroughly looked around and expertly and creatively came up with ideas for making it look nicer for showings. They also did an analysis on the current market to draw up estimates of what the best price to sell my home would be, as well as multiple sales scenarios so that I could be prepared and have a decent understanding of what I'd be walking away with after the sale. The estimates were extremely close to the final figures and were off by just a couple hundred dollars! For staging, Sue and Kathy went above and beyond. I'm a bit of a nerd and do not own any contemporary decorations that the average home buyer would look at without feeling alienated, but Sue and Kathy worked with stagers to make my place look like a model home out of their own pockets. I wish I could have lived there like that, honestly! It was incredible. They also hired a cleaner to make the house sparkle and shine for photos and showings. They actually previously sold the home with the owners before me, and I remember at the time feeling like it looked like a model home. After they staged and cleaned mine, it was clear how that happened. The house got an offer just a day after the first showing, and we were under contract shortly after. Sue and Kathy fantastically negotiated, and in the end, the house closed just a few weeks after being listed at the listing price, cash, inspection waived, and with 45 days free occupancy, which was a boon for my move. The sale could not possibly have gone smoother and less stress-free. If I ever sell again, Sue and Kathy will undoubtedly be on speed dial. I highly recommend them. (December 2022)

Melaine (Canton Seller)

I could not be happier with my experience working with Sue and Kathy.

This was my first time purchasing a home which can be very overwhelming at times, but having these two amazing people in my corner truly made a difference. They bring tons of knowledge and experience to the table, are always responsive to my questions, and know how to get you a winning deal done during a highly competitive market. Working with Kathy and Sue was definitely the difference maker in beating over a dozen other offers on my new home. I would recommend them to anyone. (March 2023)

Luke (Canton Buyer)

When I interviewed Kathy Schaumburger by telephone and then met her in person, I instantly liked her spirit!

She is intelligent, experienced, and savvy -- 3 traits that I wanted for a Listing Agent. Kathy came to my home and presented her "best foot forward" plan to prepare for photos and a listing. Because of my concerns about the downward shift in the market, I challenged her on certain aspects, such as cost and timing. She remained confident on the issues, and began the process the next day. Kathy introduced me to her team, which included Sue Shields. Sue is intelligent and diligent, and her strengths were valuable in preparing for and conducting the Open House. I also appreciated her prompt communications with me throughout the process! Kathy and Sue are a great team -- professional and friendly. They are hard-working and have a can-do attitude. Their efforts delivered outstanding results, with multiple offers in just days after the listing went active. Kathy and Sue get my highest rating, and I enthusiastically recommend them!

Michael (Farmington Hills Seller)

Kathy and Sue are fantastic to work with!

We’ve bought and sold with them multiple times. They are excellent communicators and are always a text, call, or email away. They go above and beyond with everything, truly dedicated hard workers. I can’t recommend them enough! (May 2023)

Tom and Kat (Canton Sellers)

Sue and Kathy make for a fun and knowledgeable duo.

As a first-time homebuyer, I had lots of questions that were met with patience and many great answers. Most importantly, they offered strategies regarding an attractive offer that led to my offer being accepted. This team is persistent, responsive, and caring! (October 2022)

Carson (Northville Buyer)

Sue and kathy treated me like family and took the time to explain everything I needed to know about buying a house (first home buyer here) they always were quick to respond back to any questions I had and gave me details on any house we looked at.

They also made me feel like they cared and they would tell me their honest opinion of the house we were looking at and would let me know if they thought I was over paying or there might be a better house I would like if I didn’t feel 100% on the one we were looking at. I also NEVER felt rushed when looking for a home they would take the time for each house and walk through it with me each time. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is looking for a house or selling a house. They are the perfect team for anyone and will make you feel like family. (November 2022)

"Sue and Kathy were absolutely amazing! They were enthusiastic about listing my home and jumped right in to get started with their knowledge of my area and about my home. My home was a unique home with a special charm and they were committed to finding the perfect buyer and to get the best sales price and were so successful in these objectives! They were so quick to respond to any questions and to provide updates. If I have further real estate needs, they will be my first call! If anyone I know has real estate needs, I would recommend them without hesitation! Thank you both for making the difficult decision to see my home such a pleasure!"

"We can’t thank Susan and Kathy (Team Schaumburger) enough for all their hard work, patience, professionalism, and positive attitude. Our experience was everything we could have hoped for—and more! Both Susan and Kathy was always patient and understanding, guiding us every step of the way, and going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Kathy and Susan expertise and friendly approach made the entire process not just stress-free, but enjoyable! Her communication is thorough and prompt. They helped us to understand everything along the way and basically let my husband and I sit back while they tackled all the hard work. They drew in many offers and got us top dollar for our home. I highly recommend Team Schaumburger!"

"Working with Sue and Kathy was an absolute dream—so much so that this was our second time partnering with them! They made the home-buying process so enjoyable and easy to understand, from beginning to end. Thanks to their expert advice and spot-on market knowledge, we felt confident every step of the way. They knew exactly which levers to pull to make our offer stand out in a competitive market, and their knack for building quick trust with the seller’s agent was key in getting our offer accepted.Sue and Kathy have this amazing ability to make you feel supported while handling every detail with complete professionalism. They genuinely care, and it shows in everything they do. We’re thrilled to be settling into our dream home, but honestly, we already miss working with them! If the time for house number three ever comes around, we wouldn’t hesitate to call them again.If you’re looking for real estate agents who know the market inside and out and truly have your back, we recommend Sue and Kathy in a heartbeat. Thanks, Sue and Kathy, for everything—you made this experience unforgettable!"

"Sue is fantastic. She educated my husband and I so well on the buying process before we started looking. This made it so we were able to purchase the first house we put an offer in on. After our offer was accepted Sue and Kathy kept us up to date and made sure we were ready when it came time to close. 10/10 would recommend working with Sue and Kathy."

"Exceptional Service from Sue!Sue was an absolute lifesaver during my home-buying process. From start to finish, she made everything feel seamless and stress-free, even during what was a very hectic time in my life.

"I cannot recommend Sue and Kathy enough if you are looking for a home. As first-time home buyers, they made the stressful experience actually enjoyable. Having two realtors to help us cannot be overstated. They were able to break down each step of the process and made sure we stayed on top of everything. After taking us through some houses, they were able to expertly identify which features in a house we were looking for and made some great recommendations when new homes came onto the market. Their expert knowledge of each of the locations we were looking gave us the confidence we needed to make the right choice. Not only this, but they were also able to work out a great deal for our house and steer us in the right direction during negotiations. I do not think we would have found our perfect home without her and Sue.It's not just a job for them, even after closing, Sue and Kathy gave us recommendations for anything we needed like carpet cleaners.Caitlin and I could not be happier with our home and I highly recommend them if you are looking or even in the initial stages of searching.Thank you both!"

"Kathy Schaumburger and Team Schaumburger did an outstanding job selling my parents’ condo in Canton, MI. From the very beginning, Kathy had a clear strategy and executed it flawlessly. She coordinated a beautiful remodel of the master bath, had the entire condo professionally painted, and brought in staging that completely transformed the space.The result? It sold within 24 hours for top dollar.The improvements Kathy recommended and managed undoubtedly contributed to significantly higher net proceeds. She truly understands the Canton market, knows exactly what buyers are looking for, and backs it up with action. What she promises, she delivers — and then she over-delivers.If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, hands-on team that treats your home like their own investment, I highly recommend Team Schaumburger."
