About us

With a portfolio of investment properties, the Moses family could not find a property management company that focused on both owner and tenant satisfaction. With that in mind, Avenue Group Real Estate was born. More than ten years later, solid tenant vetting processes, prompt and affordable maintenance, in-house collections and best-in-class owner communication and profitability, Avenue Group Real Estate has become a shining star in Metro Detroit’s property management marketplace.

What sets us apart is our commitment to hiring talented and dedicated staff and providing an excellent customer experience to tenants and owners alike.

Heather is a proud graduate of Michigan State University (GO GREEN!) and has been a licensed realtor since 2016. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband Erik and two teenage children Oliver and Jane. When not at the office she can likely be found on the sidelines cheering on one of the kids in a game or curled up on the coach watching whatever sport happens to be in season.
