Homes for Sale, Local Insight, and Expert Guidance Across Oakland County
Oakland County offers buyers an incredible variety of places and ways to live.

Oakland County Communities
Start Your Oakland County Home Search by Community
Oakland County isn't one uniform real estate market. Communities can differ significantly in housing, setting, amenities, price points and lifestyle. These are several of the markets The Integrity Team knows especially well:
Lake Orion & Orion Township
Lake Orion is at the heart of The Integrity Team's business and local presence. Gwen and Roger Daubenmeyer live in the area, our office is located on Broadway Street in Lake Orion, and the team has a long history of helping people buy and sell homes throughout Lake Orion and Orion Township.
Buyers can explore Village living, established subdivisions, condos, larger properties and numerous lakefront and lake-access communities.
Rochester Hills
Rochester Hills offers buyers a wide variety of established neighborhoods and housing options along with convenient access to shopping, recreation and the surrounding Oakland County area.
Oxford & Oxford Township
Oxford offers buyers a mix of Village living, established subdivisions, lake communities and properties with more room outside the center of town.
The Integrity Team has particularly strong local ties to this part of Oakland County, including team members with lifelong connections to the Oxford area.
Oakland Township
Oakland Township may appeal to buyers looking for larger homesites, natural surroundings, established neighborhoods and convenient access to Rochester, Lake Orion and surrounding Oakland County communities.

Search by Lifestyle
Find an Oakland County Home That Fits Your Lifestyle
Sometimes buyers know what they want from a home before they know exactly where they want to live.
If that's you, it can make more sense to begin with the property or lifestyle you're looking for and then compare the Oakland County communities where you're most likely to find it.
Waterfront & Lake-Access Homes
Oakland County is known for its lakes and lake communities. Depending on the property, buyers may find direct waterfront, private or shared lake access, association beaches, boating privileges or homes located close to the water.
The details matter. “Lakefront” and “lake access” don't necessarily mean the same thing, and rights and restrictions can vary by property and community.
Homes Under $400K
If you're working within a specific budget, expanding your search across multiple Oakland County communities can help you compare what your money buys in different locations.
Depending on current inventory, buyers under $400K may find single-family homes, condos, smaller properties, older homes or homes that need some updating.
Homes With Land
For buyers looking for more privacy, outdoor space or acreage, parts of Oakland County offer larger parcels and homes where having more land is part of the lifestyle.
Buying a Home in Oakland County
One of the biggest advantages of buying in Oakland County is the variety. That can also make the search more complicated.
The same budget can buy very different homes depending on the community, neighborhood, property type and condition. That's why we don't think a good home search should begin and end with bedrooms, bathrooms and price.
The Integrity Team can help you compare:
- Communities and neighborhoods
- Home prices and comparable properties
- Property condition
- Potential repairs and future expenses
- Waterfront and lake-access considerations
- Lot size and acreage
- Association rules and fees
- Property taxes and other ownership costs
- Inspection findings
- Offer strategy
- Location and everyday convenience
- Long-term ownership and resale considerations
You don't have to know exactly where in Oakland County you want to live before you start. Tell us what's important to you, and we'll help you compare communities and properties until the search begins to narrow naturally. You can also explore our buyer resources as you prepare for your search.

Selling a Home in Oakland County
Oakland County is made up of many different local real estate markets, which is why selling a home here requires more than looking at a countywide average or an automated home value.
Comparable sales and buyer expectations can change significantly from one community, and sometimes one neighborhood, to another.
Property condition, updates, lot size, location, lake frontage or access, acreage, association amenities and other characteristics can also influence how a property should be positioned.
The Integrity Team helps Oakland County sellers develop a clear plan for preparing, pricing and marketing their home based on the property itself and the market surrounding it.
Our goal is to help you understand your options and make informed decisions throughout the selling process.
Get Your Oakland County Home Evaluation
If you are considering selling, start by understanding what your home may be worth based on recent comparable sales, property condition, local buyer expectations and current market conditions.
Whether your home is in Rochester Hills, Troy, Lake Orion, Royal Oak or another Oakland County community, The Integrity Team can help you make informed decisions.
