ASHLEY JOLLEY
REALTOR® | TEAM LEAD
Real estate is in my blood. My father was a Realtor my entire life and I vividly remember him smelling of equal parts cologne and coffee. We would drive around neighborhoods doing market research and grabbing flyers off of for sale signs so he could scope out all the available listings. He passed away in 2014, and in a way I feel as though he has guided me to finish what he started.
I am, for lack of a better word, obsessed with homes. I love everything about them. The history, details, landscape, architecture - sure, but most importantly, I love how they make you feel. That long exhale at the end of the day. The close hug when you need it most. Home is more than just your walls, it is truthfully where your life happens.
I am married to my British husband, Dan. We have two children, Jude and Juliet. I have yet to find a glass of red wine I don’t like and if tacos are on the menu, I’m ordering them. I am a sucker for a good true crime documentary and love to work smarter not harder (which is why I still don’t know how to tell time on an analog clock… I mean, there’s digital now, right?)
Now, let’s get started…
REBECCA SMITH
REALTOR®
Hi! I'm Rebecca, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the Ashley Jolley Real Estate team. My love for homes began in 2013 when we bought and remodeled our first starter home for our family. I quickly developed a passion for wallpaper, paint, gardening, and thrifted furniture to make our house a home. After selling that home in 2022, we moved into our dream home in Historic Indian Village in Detroit.
As a parent of five, I understand the importance of finding a home that fits your family's unique needs. My deep love for homes and interior design helps you envision your future in each potential home we see together. From the initial search to post-move-in design advice, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Interested in selling your home? I have an extensive background in social media marketing. We will utilize this expertise to ensure your home gets maximum exposure- increasing your chances of a quick and successful sale.

KRISTEN GOLDMAN
REALTOR®
Moving houses is one of the biggest transitions a family can make, and guiding people through major life shifts happens to be my specialty. Before pursuing my 15-year dream of working in real estate, I spent over 20 years as a corporate recruiting manager. What I learned there is the secret to my real estate success today: every great outcome starts with listening. I don’t believe in cookie-cutter strategies. I prioritize asking thoughtful questions to understand your unique goals, making sure you feel heard, supported, and confident at every step.
My deep roots in the Plymouth-Canton area mean I know these neighborhoods inside and out. My husband, Zach and I are raising our boys, Beckham and Bodhi, and my step children, Lilah and Max, right here in the community I love.
I’m passionate about supporting local businesses, so whether we cross paths at a neighborhood coffee shop, a Pilates studio, or a local restaurant, please say hello! I’d love to help you build your future here, too.
