William Whitehouse | Associate Broker | Commercial Advisor

With over a century of collective experience backing every handshake, I serve the Detroit DMA as a specialist in the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Kee Realty Commercial Division. Real estate is more than a profession for The Whitehouse Team. As part of the "First Family of Real Estate," I carry forward a legacy of strategic guidance and local market mastery that helps clients navigate complex commercial landscapes.

My role as an Associate Broker focuses on the high stakes environment of commercial acquisitions, leasing, and investment. I leverage my designation as a CyberStar to integrate modern technology into every transaction. This ensures that whether you are looking for a strategic retail space or a multi unit investment, you have a data driven advantage in the Michigan market.

I believe in clear communication and rigorous negotiation. My approach is rooted in the deep history of my team while staying focused on the future of Detroit and the surrounding regions like Lathrup Village. I am here to ensure your commercial goals are met with professional precision and a personal touch.

Specialties:

• Commercial Acquisitions and Sales
