60 years of
attaining success

Since the beginning, we’ve been committed to serving our clients in commercial real estate and property development and contributing to the economic development and prosperity of the communities we serve. Our present-day success as one of the premier real estate companies in Michigan originates from William G. Martin’s ambition to establish our company over several decades. We’re proud of our history and driven to add more milestones in our future as we continue to partner with you.
