Why Kristian

New to Ann Arbor? Start with someone who's been the newcomer.

I spent 20 years helping international students navigate housing, leases, and life in a new country, as a university director and as the founder of an international education business. If you're a student looking for housing, or a parent overseas considering buying for your student, I speak your language. Literally and figuratively.

  • For students: honest guidance on neighborhoods, leases, and what to watch for.
  • For parents: help evaluating whether buying makes sense, and finding the right place if it does.
