Strong Market 
Knowledge and 
Philanthropy 
Drive this Dynamic 
Real Estate Team

T

hree things drive real 
estate experts Dana 
Cooper and Laurie 
Glass of Cooper Glass Homes 
in Birmingham: Philanthropy, 
building relationships with 
clients and a work ethic that 
drives them to be relentlessly 
upbeat about buying and selling 
homes in 2022.
“Our community is good 
to us and we love being good 
in return,” said Laurie Glass. 
“When we look back on our 
careers, this is how we want to 
be remembered.”
Now solidly into 2022, 
despite the recent interest rate 
hikes, Glass and her partner 
Dana Cooper say they are opti-
mistic about this year – and 
have plenty of proven strategies 
for success. They sell every-
where, all-over southeastern 
Oakland County – more than 
30 cities last year alone.
And with a history of mento-
ring and building deep relation-
ships with clients always in the 
forefront, Cooper and Glass say 
they have a strong understand-
ing of how to win in any market.
“It’s all positive,” Cooper said. 
“People are still looking to see 
homes; they are still looking to 
list homes. Heading into July 

and August, our phones are still 
ringing and we are still busy.”
However, these two real 
estate powerhouses are never 
too busy to give back. Cooper 
Glass Homes supports many 
local charities, including several 
Jewish non-profits. Tamarack 
Camps, Jewish Family Services, 
the Jewish Federation and local 
events and happenings in the 
area are all beneficiaries of 
Cooper Glass Homes’ philan-
thropy.
“Year after year we support 
these organizations,” Glass said. 
“And we are so grateful to do it.”
To date, the company has 
over $350 million in sales and 
that kind of success comes 
with a responsibility both 
Cooper and Glass take with 
the utmost care and con-
cern. That’s where relation-
ship-building and mentorship 
of buyers and sellers comes in. 
Both Cooper and Glass believe 
in building life-long relation-
ships with clients, walking 
them through the buying and 
selling process step by step – 
including pricing their homes 
perfectly so they sell quickly 
and for top dollar.
“We have a knack for build-
ing key relationships and men-

toring our buyers and sellers so 
they not only understand the 
process but enjoy the process 
as well,” Glass said. 
And even though the media 
is saying the housing market 
is cooling, Cooper and Glass 
remain optimistic and reassur-
ing. The dream of homeown-
ership is still alive and well and 
there are a multitude of benefits 
– despite the slight increase in 
interest rates (which Cooper 
said are still historically low, 
although not as low as in the 
recent past). 
“There are lots of openings to 
get in the market and honestly, 
we see this as a great opportu-
nity because it is a little bit of 
a break from the multiple offer 
market we have been experi-
encing in the last 2 years,” Glass 
said. “The cooling off hasn’t 
really happened yet and I’m not 

sure it will. People still need 
to sell and buy. There is still a 
pent-up demand and inventory 
remains low.”
Summer is usually a slower 
time for home sales in Michigan, 
but Cooper and Glass say peo-
ple continue to be interested 
in home ownership – and even 
owning an investment or vaca-
tion property.
“The desire is still there,” 
Cooper said. “People might be 
shifting focus, but we see it as 
a slight shift. We are still very 
optimistic.”
