REALTOR® · Ann Arbor, MI
A clear plan for your move in Ann Arbor, and the marketing to back it up.
13 years helping buyers and sellers across the Ann Arbor area, with a plan you can see at every step.
Full-service real estate across the Ann Arbor area
Whether you are buying, selling, downsizing, or relocating, I guide you through every step with a clear plan, so you always know what comes next.
I work across Ann Arbor, Dexter, Chelsea, Saline and Ypsilanti, and in Brighton, South Lyon and Plymouth.
Start with how I sell, how I help buyers, or get in touch.
Why this works
Marketing is what gets your home seen
A listing on the MLS reaches buyers who are already searching with an agent. Many good buyers are not at that point yet. Every home I list gets a paid social media campaign, so it reaches more of the right buyers in its first days on the market.
- Professional photos, video and drone
- A price based on recent nearby sales
- A paid social media campaign
Meet Nancy
I explain each step and show you the numbers
I'm Nancy Arnold, a REALTOR® with The Charles Reinhart Company. I've helped buyers and sellers across the Ann Arbor area since 2013, and I've been a member of Reinhart's President's Club every year since 2019.
Before real estate, I spent more than 20 years as a Certified Athletic Trainer and personal trainer. The same habits shape how I work with you: one clear step at a time, so you always know what comes next.
How buyers find your home
Three things that help the right buyer find your home
When buyers start looking, they search for their own situation, in the place they want to live, and they want information that is up to date. That is why I write a separate page for each neighborhood and each situation, instead of one page that tries to cover everything.
- Relevancy
- I write about one situation at a time. A buyer moving here for a new job and a seller moving to a smaller home have different questions, so each one gets its own answers.
- Recency
- I keep this site current, so what you read matches the market you are buying or selling in today.
- Proximity
- I write about specific neighborhoods, not the whole county: Ann Arbor, Dexter, Chelsea, Saline and the neighborhoods inside them. That is how a buyer looking for your street finds your home.
How I work
How I approach buying and selling
Two clear methods, one for each side of your move, so you always know the plan before you make a decision.

What clients say about working with me
“Nancy Arnold was exactly the right realtor for us. She was quick to recognize and address our concerns. She was honest and straightforward while carefully considering questions. She was informed and knowledgeable. Nancy was also sensitive and caring about our experience and non-judgmental while giving helpful feedback.”
“Nancy Arnold is efficient and easy to work with. She's prompt and makes herself super available. She's professional and thorough, she thinks of everything. She really makes the whole scary process doable and enjoyable. She has handled 3 properties for me and my family.”
“As stressful as buying and selling a home can be, Nancy helped this process move very comfortably. We appreciated her continued open communication through the process. We always felt that she was fair and thorough in what expectations were and what needed to be done to close the deal.”
“Nancy is awesome, professional and always very attentive. She always keeps in touch and returns every call. Really just an overall great person to deal with who knows her stuff.”

I'm Nancy Arnold, a real estate agent in Ann Arbor and a REALTOR® with The Charles Reinhart Company. For 13 years, I've helped homeowners sell and helped buyers, including people moving here from another state, find the right home across the Ann Arbor area.
I've lived in Washtenaw County since 1997, including 14 years in Dexter.

I explain how something works, show you the facts, tell you what I recommend, and let you decide.

Where I work
My office is on West Stadium Boulevard in Ann Arbor, and I work across Washtenaw County and the towns around it.
In the city, that includes Ann Arbor and neighborhoods such as the Old West Side, Water Hill, Ann Arbor Hills, Geddes Heights, Burns Park, and Orchard Hills, along with many other Ann Arbor neighborhoods.
Nearby, it includes Dexter, Chelsea, Saline, Ypsilanti and its College Heights and Normal Park neighborhoods, Brighton, South Lyon, and Plymouth, and the neighborhoods within each of them.
The places named here are the ones with their own pages on this site, so you can learn about each one. They are not the only places I work. If your neighborhood isn't listed, call me and ask.
Selling with a plan you can see
Sellers often tell me the same two worries: "Are we pricing this right?" and "Is it going to sell?" My answer is a plan you can see before you decide anything.
It starts with a price from the homes that actually sold near you, set together. Then your home gets professional photos, video and drone footage, its own property website, and a paid social media campaign that reaches buyers in and around the Ann Arbor area. And from listing day to closing, you hear the next step from me before you need to ask. Read the full plan in how I sell a home, or see how I help sellers.
Results you can check
My Google reviews stand at 5.0 stars. On more than one home, my campaign has drawn more views than Zillow's own count for the same property.
When we meet, let me show you the numbers, and you can judge the marketing for yourself.
Start here
If you're selling, start with what your home is worth. If you're buying, especially from out of state, start with relocating to Ann Arbor or how I help you buy.
Either way, call me or send a note, or call (734) 260-3505. We'll start with a conversation about your plans, and you can decide from there. Make it a great home selling and buying day.
