Adriane Lau - Team Leader
Adriane grew up in the real estate business and can remember going on house showings with her father when she was as young as 3. If you were good during the showing, he would give you beef jerky on the way home! Starting full time in 2006, Adriane has been known to employ the same beef jerky tactics to bribe her own children. It is Adriane's belief that everyone deserves a place to belong and it is the job of a real estate agent to impart the knowledge to help clients make their own educated decisions. Adriane and her husband, Chris, have also "flipped" 25 homes and have decided it is really much more glamorous that they make it look on TV. In what other field of work can you find a dead bird and get fleas in the same day? Working on these properties and going on hundreds of home inspections has taught her gobs about the ins and outs of properties and helps her to have the knowledge to find some of the major issues before our clients spend $500 on a home inspection or before our sellers have a buyer back out of a transaction. Nowadays, Adriane leaves the house flipping to her husband so she can focus 100% of her attention on her buyer and seller clients.

Maggie Gerich - Team Leader
Maggie has worked in the real estate industry since 2003 and takes pride in her 3rd generation Lansing roots. In 2016, she earned a Certified Tourism Ambassador designation in order to help her clients really know their new neighborhoods! In her off time she enjoys spending time with her husband and three children- being outdoors as much as the Michigan climate permits gardening or exploring one of Lansing's many trail systems. If you see Maggie driving, she will probably be singing along to one of her favorite Broadway show tunes on her way to an appointment. Maggie has worked closely with local and regional groups as a volunteer to assist in fundraising efforts for Children's Miracle Network and Capital Area Housing Partnership. She enjoys working with her clients and has built several long term working relationships based on trust and respect- that is the most rewarding part of the business according to Maggie. It is important to her that her clients understand the process of buying or selling a home and empowers them to make the best decisions for their own individual situation. It is her calm and patient nature that clients compliment most often along with her vast experience.

Albert Manas
Albert started in the real estate business in 2014 after many years in law enforcement. He says his favorite thing is that in real estate, people are excited when you open the door of a house versus law enforcement where they are mostly trying to hide and jump out of the window to avoid you. Since he was licensed in real estate, Albert has busied himself with learning as much about the Greater Lansing real estate market as possible and has been quite successful, helping more homeowners last year than 80% of licensed agents in our area!
