HOW IT WORKS

1. Book a time

Fill out the short form, then pick a time on the calendar that works for your schedule. The call is on Zoom and lasts 45 minutes to an hour. Come with questions. Come with concerns. The more you bring, the more useful the call will be.

2. We do the real work

We start with lifestyle, not listings. Five counties. Forty-plus cities. Completely different answers to "what does a good life look like here?" We'll figure out where your people are before we ever pull up a property search. 
Then we talk housing - what the market actually looks like, what your budget buys right now, and which communities match your ideal lifestyle. 
And then we tackle the stuff you've already Googled -property taxes, schools, ect...

3. Leave with clarity

By the end of the call, you'll know your communities, your realistic price point, and your next steps, whether you're ready to move in 3 weeks or in 3 to 13 months. Not a pitch. A clear picture of what your life will look like in the Metro Detroit or Ann Arbor area. 

Questions people ask before they book

Is this call free?

Yes. No cost, no obligation. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of what your move looks like - what happens next is entirely up to you.

  • Had a great experience with Eric as a first time home buyer!

  • Moving to Ann Arbor from out of state was a daunting prospect but were really happy with Eric in our corner. He did a great job being the eyes and ears for us and was incredibly responsive. Highly recommend.

  • My realtor was Eric Meldrum. He is thorough in listing your home and diligently worked to get me the best price on the market. He sold my home in a matter of weeks and closing was flawless. He is a honest respectful man that you can trust in selling your home or purchasing a new home.

  • We couldn't have been happier with Eric Meldrum. He went above and beyond and found us our beautiful home on Strawberry Lake in Pinckney. Reaching out to find off market potential sellers did the trick. Totally recommend.

  • Even though I wasn’t able to officially work with Eric (my company required us to use their relocation partner), I really appreciated the time he spent with us. He didn’t overwhelm us with information, but what he did share about Detroit was practical, timely, and genuinely helpful. It gave us a better feel for what to expect during the transition. Eric’s communication was excellent — responsive, clear, and easygoing. He made the early stages of our move feel smoother and less stressful. Grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone getting started in the Detroit market.

  • I have worked with Cindi Joachim for many years and I have always been amazed at how well she is able to get me what I want. I have had a few tall orders in the past and she delivered with complete professional results. On top of that she is such a genuinely nice person to work with. Cindi keeps you on top of everything you are working on and makes sure everything is covered and well explained. I’m sure I’ll be giving her a call on my next home

  • It's important for me to go on record of stating that I am not the easiest to work with as I am very particular, I can be demanding, inpatient, persistent and skeptical of the realtor profession. At first I was curious to what Tru Living Group was posting on their YouTube channel. The thought of moving back home to Michigan had always been a lingering thought since moving away 30 years ago. But... the videos built a case in a thoughtful and convincing way. Told from a first person perspective of Eric's own experiences. I clicked the button, scheduled a meeting with the Tru Living Group team and was immediately hit with a feeling that this felt different. Because it was different in that it was consultative, it was listening to our wants and our needs of how we envisioned a move to Michigan would look like. It was discussing with us what was important to us from a lifestyle, a community and the memories we wanted to make in a new home. Immediately I resonated with Eric and his team's approach, because they put my interests ahead of anything else. Our situation was a rather unconventional set of circumstances. When we placed our house on the market in Florida, the market had taken a downturn. We never imagined that selling waterfront property in Florida would have been the weak link. I had moved ahead of my family to start my new job, while my son and wife stayed behind so my son could finish school. Our separation went on for weeks and then months to almost 6 months. It included firing our realtor in Florida to almost firing the 2nd one. Through our conversations, the mentoring and the advice I felt less like a client, but more like a friend. Eric was vested in doing his part to make our experience as easy as possible - for what he could control on his side of the transaction. Over time, we developed a known understanding of what we were looking for and where. That known understanding allowed Eric and his team to source a property, off-market. Eric handled every aspect of our deal with the utmost professionalism, integrity, and thoughtfulness that it has definitely left a lasting impression on us. I have the greatest respect for what he does and what he has accomplished. He isn't just great at what he does or how he handles himself professionally, but he's a great father to two beautiful girls and an amazing marriage to an equally incredible person. If you ever get the opportunity to work with Eric and the Tru Living Group team, you won't be disappointed as your experience will be nothing short of positive.

  • This is my second time using Eric as my real estate agent. This time he helped me buy and sell my home. I had a wonderful experience. He did an amazing job explaining the whole process to us and providing us information on whats going on in the market. He shared his expertise and made sure we put in the best offer possible. We ended up selling our home in Berkley, MI the first weekend it was on the market a buying a home in Grosse Pointe, MI very quickly after our sale. I would definitely recommend him and his team!

  • I have so much to say about Lori Tocco, who is truly one of the most outstanding real estate agents I've ever worked with. She has the rare ability to be both highly professional and genuinely down to earth. She was incredibly accommodating with my daughters while we spent three full days driving around and looking at houses. I was very torn between wanting a Homestead and not wanting to end up in a town that wasn't a good fit for my girls and me - especially since we're moving to Michigan from Arizona and building a new community is important to us. Lori helped guide me through Which towns would be a great fit, and which ones might not align with what we were looking for. When it came down to choosing between a homestead and a home in a charming, walkable town with friendly neighbors, she was an incredible sounding board, walking me through the pros and cons with care and honesty. She made the entire process, smooth and approachable, Lori is truly a gem and I'm beyond grateful for her. Shana Gavin Arizona to Michigan
