FOR OVER 50 YEARS, WE'VE:

- Managed income producing properties
WHO WE ARE:
Alex de Parry founded Ann Arbor Builders, Inc. in 1971 just after graduating from University of Michigan.
The company has since served as the umbrella under which its operating entities have developed many subdivisions, built thousands of single and multi-family homes, completed numerous residential and commerical remodeling projects, and owned, restored and managed many residential and commercial properties throughout southeast Michigan, southeast and southwest Florida and southeast Georgia.
Additionally, we own and have restored many historic buildings in Saginaw, Michigan where the company operates under the name of Old Town Saginaw Properties.
Now, more than 50 years after founding the company, Alex is still at the helm, making Ann Arbor Builders one of the oldest building/development companies still owned and run by its founder.
Betsy de Parry is vice president of marketing and sales and the associate broker of de Parry Properties, a licensed Michigan real estate broker wholly owned by Ann Arbor Builders. She focuses solely on handling the company's projects.
HOW WE'VE DONE IT:
When Alex founded Ann Arbor Builders back in 1971, he was lucky enough to land a few remodeling jobs. Because he was young and inexperienced, he simply asked his clients what they wanted and then did it.
His own inexperience at the start formed the very foundation of our company’s philosophy: listen to our clients. And that’s what we’ve been doing all these years.
THE TEST OF TIME:
Since 1971, Ann Arbor Builders, Inc. has built strong relationships with our clients and business associates that have withstood the test of time.
We’re especially proud of repeat business and referrals our clients have sent to us. We consider these endorsements the highest compliment, and we attribute them to our clients’ satisfaction. And satisfaction must be earned one client, one project, at a time.
