About Us

When Ryan Cooley brought the third-generation of O’Connor Real Estate and Development to a nearly abandoned stretch of Michigan Avenue in 2005, his mission was to help people buy homes they’re excited to live in and sell them when necessary, while positively contributing to the long-term growth of Detroit. Although the urban landscape looks incredibly different these days, the founding philosophy is the same.

A trusted and respected member of the community it serves, O’Connor specializes in both residential and commercial real estate, bringing almost 20 years of experience and expertise to the market. We are proud of the relationships we have built with our clients and the community along the way, never compromising our reputation or client-first approach. O’Connor’s commercial division offers a full range of services, specializing in re-use; multifamily; restaurants, retail, office spaces and industrial.

Thank you for trusting us with your real estate needs.
