First-time landlords
You bought one property, or you moved and kept the old house. Nobody handed you a manual. We will walk you through what the first year actually looks like.

Owner-operated since 2008
You are not hiring a call centre. You are hiring Louis Williams.
Louis has been managing property for owners since November 2008 — 18 years of tenants placed, rent collected, and repairs handled across Metro Detroit — on top of 30+ years buying and selling in this market. He lives here. He walks the properties himself.
That matters more than it sounds. A landlord’s worst months usually start with a decision somebody made quickly: the applicant who was approved without a reference call, the repair that was deferred one more season, the rent that was set from a national estimate instead of the street. Those decisions get made properly when the person making them has seen how each one plays out three winters later.
- Free property evaluation before you commit to anything
- Screening applied consistently to every applicant
- Licensed, insured contractors on every repair
- Monthly statements your accountant can actually use
What we do
Full-service management, and the sale when it is time to sell.
Most owners come to us for one of these. Several end up using most of them.
Property Management
One team handling the whole job — leasing, rent, repairs, inspections, and reporting — so you are not the one fielding calls at 10pm.

Tenant Screening
The single decision that determines how the next two years go. We do the background work before anyone gets a key.

Maintenance & Repairs
Tenants call us, not you. We triage, dispatch licensed contractors, and keep the receipts.

Rent Collection
The uncomfortable conversations are ours. You get a consistent payout and a clear ledger.

Real Estate Sales
Buying, selling, and honest pricing — from a broker who has been negotiating Metro Detroit deals for over 30 years.

Investor Services
Acquisition analysis, rehab scoping, and management for owners building something bigger than one house.

Our process
Rounding the bases.
Five stages from the first walkthrough to the monthly statement. You will know which one you are on at any given time.
-
Lead-off
Free property evaluation
We walk the property, look at what comparable units are actually renting for, and give you a number we will stand behind. No charge, no obligation, and no pitch if the honest answer is that you do not need us.
-
First base
Get it rent-ready
A written scope of what the property needs to lease well and what it will cost. Some of it matters and some of it does not — we tell you which is which before anybody spends anything.
-
Second base
Market and screen
Photos, listing, and showings. Then the part that matters most: credit, criminal and eviction history, income verification, and a real conversation with the last landlord.
-
Third base
Lease and move-in
A Michigan-compliant lease, deposits handled by the book, and a photographed condition report signed by the tenant before a key changes hands.
-
Home plate
Ongoing management
Rent collected, repairs coordinated, inspections run, statements sent, renewals negotiated. You get a monthly statement and a phone number that a person answers.
Who we work with
One property or twenty, the job is the same.
What changes is how much of it you want to hand over.
Out-of-town owners
You cannot drive past it, meet a contractor, or show it on a Saturday. That is exactly the job — being the person on the ground in Metro Detroit.
Small multifamily owners
Duplexes, flats, and small buildings where one bad tenancy affects the neighbours too. Screening and enforcement get tighter, not looser.
Portfolio investors
Consolidated reporting, consistent standards across properties, and a straight answer on which assets are carrying the others.
Estates and inherited property
A property you did not plan for, often with deferred maintenance and family members who disagree. We can rent it, fix it, or sell it — and explain the trade-offs first.
Churches and community organisations
Louis started in real estate on a church project, negotiating a deal nobody expected to land. Organisation-owned property is still work we take personally.
Why owners stay
The unglamorous parts, done properly.
There is no clever trick to property management. There is screening you actually finish, rent you actually enforce, repairs you actually schedule, and books you actually keep. Doing those four things consistently is the entire product.
- You talk to the owner
- 18 years managing property
- Screening we take seriously
- Licensed contractors only
- Books you can hand your accountant
- Rent it, fix it, or sell it
In their words
What owners and buyers say.
Mr Louis has always been professional, courtesy and we have worked with him for many years. He is very knowledgeable about homes and their maintenance. He has assembled a great team of professionals who have made the home buying experience seamless.
Homerun-Homes Property Management has been a lifesaver for me as a landlord. Louis and his team are professional, responsive, and handle everything with care. From finding quality tenants to addressing maintenance issues, they have exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!
I could not be happier with the service from Homerun-Homes. They take care of every detail, so I do not have to worry about a thing. My property is always in great shape, and my tenants are happy too. Louis and his team are simply the best!
Where we work
Detroit, Downriver, and 48 more.
Our office is on Allen Road in Allen Park, and Louis has lived in Southfield for years. Between the two we cover most of Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Monroe, Washtenaw counties — the Downriver communities, the west side, the Oakland County suburbs, and the city itself.
Local matters here more than in most markets. Rent in Metro Detroit is set street by street, not by ZIP code, and a national estimate will be wrong in both directions depending on which block the property is on.
