OVER THE YEARS

max broock Max Broock

It began in 1895 when 24-year-old Max Broock showed farmland in Detroit, property that would later become part of the historic Virginia Park neighborhood. For decades, the company thrived as a family enterprise. Max's son, Ferd, helped shape luxury neighborhoods in Birmingham and Bloomfield, while his grandson, Bowen, expanded operations in 1965 with the first branch in Orchard Lake. In 2002, Max Broock Realtors entered a new era by merging with the Real Estate One Family of Companies, uniting two family-owned Michigan brokerages with unmatched local expertise. Today, Max Broock Realtors continues its tradition of boutique service, deep market knowledge, and exceptional representation, earning its place as one of Michigan's premier names in luxury real estate.
