The most supportive brokerage on the planet.
Over 25 years ago, Five Star was founded on the idea of agent empowerment. And what do you need to feel ready to take on anything?
A remarkable support system.
Well, that’s exactly what we provide. We’re here to back you up with all the tools, tips, and tricks you need to be wildly successful, including real real-estate experts, like our owners Greg and Paul, on speed dial—or whatever the 21st century version of that is.
HEY, THANKS FOR CONSIDERING FIVE STAR.
We know you have lots of options for brokerages. We are truly so grateful to be a contender. What makes us different? Well, here at Five Star, we work for you—and we’re truly dedicated to arming you with everything you need to succeed.

Support for our stars. (That’s you.)
We believe that the #1 job of a brokerage is to support their agents. We’re here for you in all the ways you need us to be and none of the stuff that slows you down.
Where will you grow next?
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to real estate. Everyone’s path looks different; that’s why we offer coaching to help you chart your very own Career Roadmap.
Marketing that actually works.
94% of agents* at other brokerages don’t ever utilize the tools they pay annual fees for. Seems like kind of a waste, right? At Five Star, we operate on an “efficiency” model. We’ll never require you to buy into a onesize-fits-all program, send out mandatory emails, or do anything you don’t want to do. Instead, we’ll coach you on what marketing tools and tactics to invest in and what to ditch.
Real estate is built on relationships. That’s why at Five Star, we encourage you to use your own email address, CRM, and other marketing tools. Unlike other brokerages, if you decide to leave, you’ll keep all your hard-earned contacts and pending transactions. Plus, we’ll never mine your data and sell it. That’s just not cool.
Not sure where to begin on branding? That’s what our in-house creative team is for! Or just use the Five Star branding! We love that, too!
Limits? Labels? Pigeonholes? Nope, not here! At Five Star, we encourage you to represent yourself as yourself—and we’ll be there to back you up. That means you can use your own branding, your own email address, and whatever else you want to roll with.

Five Star was founded on the idea of giving the agent more freedom. Why would we mess with that?
A culture of empowerment.
When we ask agents what they like about working with us, they often say the culture. But what exactly is the Five Star culture? Well, some would call us a “creative hub,” others would say we’re “agent consultants” … But we’d say our culture is all about the autonomy to do what you want, how you want, when you want, all while surrounding you with support.*
Five Star agents have access to any of our offices across Michigan and Florida.
Hundreds of communities and counting. Our coverage just keeps on growing! Visit fivestarmichigan.com to see our locations.
Never-ending education.
Education as an experienced realtor looks different. That’s why we’ve built out a schooling system that’s focused around catapulting your career. There are no required classes; instead, you can participate in continued learning opportunities as frequently (or infrequently) as you’d like! And if you run into something that’s not in the playbook, one of our team members is always available for real-time support.
IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT, REFER AN AGENT!
We’ve given back over $1.2 million to hundreds of agents through our referral program over the past ten years! Pretty sweet, right?

We’ll just come out and say it: we beat almost every other brokerage on cost. Five Star agents pay only $8,340 a year while keeping 100% of the commission.

We’ll never take any franchise fees off the top, E&O insurance is always covered, and there’s no silly “technology” fees to worry about.
