Looking for the Best Realtor in Northville?
When it comes to buying or selling a home in Northville, Michigan, you want a realtor who truly understands this community—its neighborhoods, its schools, and what makes it one of the most sought-after places to live in Metro Detroit. I'm Allison Maher, a dedicated REALTOR® with the Ashley Jolley Real Estate Team at Five Star Real Estate Leaders. I live in nearby South Lyon, my kids attend local schools, and I specialize in the luxury and family markets that define Northville real estate.
With 46+ five-star Google reviews, recognition as a Top 100 Agent in Wayne County and Top 1000 Agent in Oakland County, and over $16 million in sales volume in 2024 alone, I bring proven results along with something rare: 15 years as an educator before real estate. That means I understand school districts at a level no other agent can match.
Why Choose Allison Maher as Your Northville Realtor?
15 Years as an Educator. Before real estate, I spent 15 years as an elementary teacher and assistant principal. That means I understand school districts better than any other agent in this market. I know what makes a school great—not just the test scores, but the culture, the community involvement, the programs that make a difference. Northville Public Schools is one of the best districts in Michigan, and if schools matter to your home search (and they should), I'm the agent who can give you real, informed answers.
Luxury Market Expertise. Northville's real estate market is unique. With an average home value exceeding $572,000 and luxury properties reaching well beyond $1.5 million, you need an agent who understands how to market premium homes and negotiate high-value transactions. I specialize in this market and bring the professionalism and attention to detail that Northville sellers and buyers expect.
Proven Track Record. With 46+ five-star Google reviews and 38 closings in 2024 totaling over $16 million in sales, my clients consistently praise my communication, negotiation skills, and dedication. I was recognized as a Top 100 Agent in Wayne County and Top 1000 Agent in Oakland County—not because I chase awards, but because I chase results for my clients.
White-Glove Service. From professional staging and photography to coordinating cleaning services and managing every detail of your transaction, I provide full-service support that goes far beyond what most agents offer. Northville homes deserve to be presented at their absolute best, and that's exactly what I deliver.
Educator's Heart, Negotiator's Edge. I explain everything in plain language so you always understand what's happening and why. But don't mistake warmth for weakness—when it's time to negotiate, I fight hard for every dollar and every term on your behalf.
What My Clients Say
“Allison is so wonderful! We went through a couple of agents from different firms because we changed the areas we were looking in, but when we connected with Alli, everything just seemed to click! All of a sudden we were looking at more solid options, and she took the time to listen and acquiesce with what we needed. In no time at all, we found our amazing new home! Could not speak enough about her; let her work her magic for you. Rating: 1,000/10”
— Recent Home Buyer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Literally there isn't a hoop I can think of that Allison did not jump through. We were not easy and she seriously pulled us up, out and through. Cannot believe we own a home in the current climate—she did that!! 10/10 would recommend over and over.”
— Happy Homeowner ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Alli was outstanding assisting with my selling transaction. It was a tough market and tough property without a lot of relevant comps in the area. She was able to negotiate and meet my requests despite me living in a completely different city/state. The moment I hired her I never had to step foot in the property again. Property closed in 12 days after accepting an offer. She has a bright future in real estate, hire her.”
— Home Seller ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

About Allison Maher — Your Northville Realtor
Hi! I'm Allison Maher, and I'm proud to serve the Northville community.
Before becoming a realtor, I spent 15 years in education—first as an elementary teacher, then as an assistant principal. Those years gave me something that makes me a better agent today: the ability to listen, to communicate clearly, to guide people through complex decisions with patience and care. I bring an educator's heart to every transaction.
I live in nearby South Lyon with my three kids—Kennedy, Theodore, and Scarlett. I'm deeply involved in local school life and community activities. When I recommend a Northville neighborhood or school, it's because I've done the research and understand what families need—not because I read a brochure.
In 2024, I closed 38 transactions totaling over $16 million in sales volume, representing 274% year-over-year growth. I was recognized as a Top 100 Agent in Wayne County and Top 1000 Agent in Oakland County. But the number I'm most proud of is 46+—that's how many clients have taken the time to leave me a five-star Google review, because the experience meant that much to them.
Whether you're buying your first home, upgrading for a growing family, selling a luxury estate, or relocating to Northville from out of state, I'm here to make it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
