About Us

Over 30 Years of Collective Experience

Company Overview

The vision behind Workhorse Realty started with Ed Kolar and his desire to make Milan a better place and increase value by renovating the more run-down homes in the area. The results have been great for the neighborhoods he works in and throughout Milan. He felt that now is the time to expand on this philosophy and continue to push values further ahead by creating one company focusing on both real estate sales and custom renovations.

Our goal is to give a more personalized experience to our clients. It is important to us that every client is educated and comfortable throughout the transaction. Each of our agents is dedicated to practicing with the highest level of integrity and professionalism, both with clients and other agents.

We are a small, independent company with a goal to stay small, stay local, stay focused, and invest in our local communities. We are working hard on your next move.

Edward Kolar

Owner, Broker & Realtor®

"Working harder for higher values” is my motto, and if you’re selling a home, you’ll want me to work harder for you. I’m here to help you with all of your real estate needs, and improving homes and home values in my town and yours is what I'm passionate about. You might say I'm a well-rounded real estate junkie: mortgage banking, custom home renovations, and real estate sales have been my life for the past 24 years. Give me a call! I'd love to talk about buying, selling, remodeling, or investing.

Jerry W Smith

Realtor®

I am a lifelong Ann Arbor area resident and US Navy Veteran. I have personally bought and sold 18 homes, and each time using a different realtor, which helps to define my list of "what not to do in Real Estate Sales" and what excellent truly means. For the majority of people, the puchase or sale of a home, is their largest single investment. My goal is to guide you successfully and easily through the contractual, investment, and emotional decisions involved in the Real Estate process. I am committed to providing you and your friends with the superior service and expertise to make it the most memorable purchase of your life.
