Meet Vence McBride

A reason to hire me — not just another agent.

Since becoming a REALTOR® in 2016, I’ve built my business around helping clients make confident decisions across residential, commercial, and investment real estate. In a crowded industry, I earn your business through knowledge, communication, and results.

Before real estate, I spent more than 20 years in advertising and marketing — a real advantage when it’s time to showcase your home to the right buyers. Whether you’re buying, selling, leasing, or investing, I’d love the chance to help you reach your goals.

In their words

Clients who’d never use anyone else

A 5.0 average rating — and the kind of reviews that say it best.

I've always gone to Vence for everything home-related. He's super professional but talks to you like you've been friends for 25 years. He takes care of all the details and explains what's happening the entire time. There's nobody better in the game than Vence McBride.

Michael K.Verified review · Zillow

My entire family has worked with Vence for years and we refuse to use anyone else. The professionalism and dedication is unmatched. From finding a home, to building one, to inquiring about business locations — he never disappoints and goes above and beyond. You will not regret choosing Vence!

Amanda JarbouVerified review · Google

Vence provided timely, pertinent feedback throughout selling and buying our new home. He knows the markets around Metro Detroit, and his connections with inspectors and service providers are reliable and reasonably priced. Vence went above and beyond in every aspect of two purchases and a sale for us.
