About Our Founder - Colleen Levitt
Experience
Colleen Levitt has been a top-performing real estate agent in Metro Detroit for over a decade and has helped hundreds of clients build, buy, sell and invest in Metro Detroit real estate.
She is also a seasoned investor with a sharp focus on revitalizing Detroit’s historic neighborhoods. With a deep-rooted passion for architecture, community preservation, and wealthbuilding through real estate, she has remained true to her mission and built a portfolio of multifamily properties in Detroit by rehabbing vacant and blighted properties in up and coming neighborhoods. These renovated properties are shining examples of what both longterm and furnished mid term rentals should be: Historic homes with modern updates firmly rooted in the Detroit neighborhoods they serve.
Our Philosophy
At The Detroit Dwelling Company, we believe that your home is your largest investment and should be treated as such. Buying your personal home is often more emotional than logical--and that's normal. Our role is to find you the perfect house, but also to keep a critical eye on the bottom line in the transaction. We are here to negotiate on your behalf and to advise you on both your short term and long term real estate goals.
If real estate investing is in your future, we would be happy to discuss your goals and put a strategy in place.
Extensive Network
We have an extensive network of industry professionals, including lenders, inspectors, and contractors, to help you every step of the way. We work with the best in the business to ensure that you get the best possible service. From the roof to the basement and every part in between--we've got a guy or gal for that.
Long Term + Furnished Mid Term Rentals
Our Mission
Our mission is to create beautifully restored, community-rooted homes that make every guest and owner feel truly welcomed, safe, and cared for — inspiring not just great stays, but deeper connections to Detroit itself. Perfect if you're planning to stay a little or if you're wanting to get to know the area before making a decision to make Detroit your home.
