Your Journey Home Starts Here
From First-Time Buyers to Seniors: We’ve Got You Covered

Hi, I'm Tim
I’m Tim Elder, Associate Broker and Senior Real Estate Specialist with Real Estate for a Cause. With decades of experience in Michigan real estate, I’ve built my career around helping people make life’s biggest transitions with confidence and peace of mind. For many of my clients—especially Baby Boomers and seniors—selling a home isn’t just a transaction, it’s a major life change. That’s why my approach is rooted in patience, understanding, and step-by-step guidance. I specialize in reducing the stress of moving, whether you’re downsizing, relocating closer to family, or simply ready for a new chapter. Through my brokerage, Real Estate For A Cause, a portion of every sale is given back to the community, turning each move into something meaningful beyond the transaction. When you work with me, you’ll get more than a realtor—you’ll have a trusted partner who listens, understands your priorities, and helps you make informed decisions at your pace. My goal is simple: to make the process smooth, supportive, and rewarding for you and your family.
