Natalie has access to local trades and all things home so you can enjoy the benefit of an integrative approach to real estate.

A Realtor Who Values Kindness

Natalie understands what’s needed in real estate: professionals who value and provide human kindness and compassion. Buying or selling can be an exciting experience, but it can also be prompted by unexpected and sometimes unfortunate circumstances. Natalie is here to help you not only get through life’s twists and turns but also enjoy the journey.

A Realtor Who Guides You Through Life Transitions

Buying or selling a home is often tied to major life changes, including divorce, relocation, or shifts in family or finances. Natalie offers divorce-sensitive real estate guidance, bringing neutrality, clear communication, and a steady presence to an otherwise emotional process.

With specialized divorce real estate training and personal understanding of how heavy these moments can feel, Natalie helps clients navigate decisions calmly and thoughtfully, reducing stress and avoiding unnecessary conflict whenever possible.

A Realtor Who Supports Her Community

When she’s not exploring properties with clients, Natalie enjoys spending time with her three children, reading, listening to podcasts, talking about chickens and bees, trying new nourishing recipes, biking, and catching a movie at the Michigan Theater. She believes the way we live in our homes matters just as much as the homes themselves.

Our Happy Home Owners

Jessica Duiven

Working with Natalie was a dream. We are first time homebuyers, and she patiently educated us about each step in the process and provided amazing guidance and input based on her experience. She was kind, available, and understanding – scheduling viewings on short notice and cheering us on even when we took a break from our home search to welcome a baby. We’re so grateful for her perseverance because now we’re in a home and neighborhood we absolutely adore. Hopefully we’re here for a very long time, but we would definitely work with Natalie again!

Ashley W

We are beyond happy with Natalie’s work in assisting us in selling our home and buying our forever home. She was diligent,
knowledgeable, patient was us, empathetic and efficient. She was responsive and personable and a great advocate for us. She was also kind to our kids and relatable. We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us with the stress and anxiety of the buying and selling process. She displayed confidence in her ability to sell our home and helped us with benefitting more than we ever imagined. She also has great negotiating skills. Overall would definitely recommend her to others and use her again!

Chelsea D

My agent, Natalie, helped me find the house we’re in now and I couldn’t be more grateful. The housing market is tough right now
and she made it feel manageable. She was positive, communicative, and committed to identifying our needs and finding a property that matched that. This process required us to move fast and make smart decisions, and Natalie was in lockstep with us every step of the way. Both Howard Hanna and Barristers were so easy to work with and I’d recommend both to anyone else!

Tim and Erin G

Natalie is the consummate professional in every way. Great communication, persistence and hustle. Ann Arbor is a highly
competitive market and she knows how to navigate it. We couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Natalie to handle your realty needs. Not only was she incredibly responsive and experienced, but very personable and easy to work with. I appreciated her suggestions and willingness to go above and beyond to help me while selling my home. I’ve never had that level of attention to detail in the previous realtors I have worked with. I can’t say enough positive things about Natalie.

She takes the utmost care of her clients, and is always very responsive and willing to answer your questions and concerns. We highly recommend Natalie!

Alexandra B

Natalie is amazing. She explained everything, and gave thoughtful, candid guidance to us through the whole process. She was patient, constantly available via text, and clearly extremely knowledgable about old homes and where to find good croissants (honestly our two biggest priorities). She is also just cool. We can’t wait to recommend her to others and hope to see her again soon over big glasses of wine.

Peggy D

Natalie Jean made the purchase of my first home a very good experience. Her kindness and expertise had a calming effect on me during a relatively stressful time! Natalie is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. She advised me in such a way that I got the perfect house for a really good price! With full confidence, I would highly recommend Natalie Jean to all my friends and family members. – THANK YOU

Katherine G

Natalie was extremely responsive with us – you could not ask for faster or more consistent education. She would take a list of five houses and set them up for showings in less than 24 hours, which was impressive. Natalie is incredibly hard-working and makes you feel like you are her only client!

Michael A

Natalie exceeded my expectations as a realtor, she was more of a friend than an agent. She has a presence that is professional, insightful, and peaceful. Being a first time seller, there were a lot of questions that I had. Natalie was there every step of the way assisting in any way she could. From providing insight about staging the home to be more inviting to the final signature at closing. She was delightful to work with and am proud that she was a part of my team. I would highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home in and around Ann Arbor.

Steve and Joanne

We had some property up north and thought it would be difficult to sell and would take a long time to find a buyer. Natalie listed it and it was sold in short order. Her follow up led to a quick sale and we were very happy with the negotiated price. Thanks Natalie for helping us get the best deal in a timely manner. Steve and Joanne

Jessica O

Natalie was extremely professional and very pro-active. My emails and texts were always answered the same day, and Natalie even followed up with me when there was nothing to report. It was extremely nice to not be another face in the crowd, and I really felt like she had our best interests at heart. I would/will recommend her to anyone that asks, as I will be using her for any other home purchases we might have in the future.

JH

As a first time home buyer I was unclear on what I exactly was looking for and even more unclear on the process of purchasing a home. Natalie was very patient with me and showed me many homes in many different areas. She helped me though the whole process and gave great advice. I work a lot of and need to travel quite a bit and she worked around my schedule. I’m not a big talking on the phone person and she was willing to talk via text and email which worked out great. I finally found a great home and I had no problems with any of the process. She is very knowledgeable about Ann Arbor and the surrounding area and I would not hesitate to ask her to help with my next home.

Kristina C

Natalie definitely went above and beyond. She went and took her own pics of homes I wasn’t sure if I wanted to see or not based on the listing photos. She was very patient with the number of houses I wanted to look at and when I backed out on my first offer. I have already recommended her to others. I hope to be in my new home for awhile but if I have real estate needs in the future I will definitely call her first.

Greg and Angie F

Natalie was excellent. We had a tight window to look at homes and she was very accommodating. We were very happy with all of her help and her quick responses and willingness to get answers for us.

Howard Hanna has one of the most dedicated and professional Sales Agent that is apart of their team. Thank you Natalie for all of your hard work. YOU ROCK!!
