Oakland Corners Realty is a full-service real estate office rooted in relationships, community, and hands-on service. Holly Pifer and Sarah Budreau lead the Oxford-based brokerage, which specializes in residential and commercial real estate. They also offer onsite title services through M-24 Title Agency, allowing many clients to close right in or near their hometown.
From the very beginning, their philosophy has been simple and intentional. “From start to finish, our goal is to build lasting relationships, turning clients into lifelong friends and trusted confidants,” Sarah shared. That relationship-first mindset has helped drive their success. More than 90 percent of their business comes from referrals and personal connections. As Holly put it, “Outside of the transaction itself, the relationships we build are the biggest key to our success.”
Now entering their sixth year in Oxford, Oakland Corners Realty is small but mighty. Despite a challenging market last year, the team had a record-breaking year for the number of transactions. They also make it a priority to reinvest profits into the business. At the same time, they invest time and resources into local events and community initiatives.
“We were prepared for a challenging market,” they said. They believe adaptability and teamwork help set them apart. That teamwork is intentional. Clients often benefit from what they call “two agents for the price of one.” Holly and Sarah work closely together on transactions to provide quick responses and coverage.
“We always put the client first,” Holly explained. “There’s always one of us ready to jump in and get the job done for our clients.”
This cooperative approach extends to the entire office. There is no cutthroat competition.
“We team together to become stronger, better agents and support one another.”
Oakland Corners Realty also stands out for going above and beyond for its clients. Whether it’s going into a crawl space to take a video, shoveling a driveway, or bringing packages inside for an out-of-town homeowner, the team proudly says, “We wear many hats.”
Those extra touches are what make clients remember Oakland Corners Realty. They also help inspire clients to confidently refer the team to others.
Deeply invested in the community, the team regularly supports local events, downtown initiatives, and Chamber activities in both Oxford and Lake Orion. The team designed its welcoming office to feel like home, complete with open spaces, a fireplace, and even a dog.
“When people come in, they’re like, ‘Wow, it feels like home,’” they shared. “That’s exactly what we wanted.”
The brokerage also welcomes dedicated agents who would like to join their office and work alongside the team in a welcoming, home-like environment.
In addition to traditional buying and selling, the team offers specialized expertise. This includes Senior
