Hi, I'm Crystal Hines!

When it comes to real estate, it's not about me—it's all about you. I'm here to listen, guide, and support you every step of the way.

I'm proud to serve my hometown of Swartz Creek, as well as the surrounding areas and all of Michigan, as your dedicated and trustworthy real estate professional. Since 2022, I've had the honor of helping clients find and sell their homes—and along the way, I've been lucky to make lasting friendships.

I'm a certified SFR (Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource), PSA (Pricing Strategy Advisor), and a licensed Michigan Notary, giving me a broad skill set to better serve my clients in all aspects of their real estate journey.

My approach to real estate is driven by empathy, compassion, and a deep love for life. Every transaction is more than just business—it's personal. I strive to bring understanding, care, and a personal touch to each step of your journey.

Outside of real estate, I’m a proud mother of two amazing men and a loving grandmother. I've been happily married to my incredible husband since 2003, and together we treasure every moment with our family and loving the great outdoors! I strive to find joy in every experience life offers.

Let’s turn your real estate goals into reality—together.

Under Contract! Congrats to my clients for getting this beautiful new build under contract in Frankenmuth! 🏡✨ New home, new job, and a new adventure in a new state — I couldn’t be happier for them. A huge shoutout to Matt Sheahan with Cobblestone Homes for being so helpful, responsive, and accommodating to my clients’ wants and needs throughout the process!

Not chasing for what others have, following my heart. Being inspired and grateful for the beauty within and all that surrounds me.

Happy Closing Day Becky! I’m so excited to see what’s next for you! Sure! Here’s a polished version of your Facebook post with a warm and professional tone: 🎉 Happy Closing Day, Becky! I’m so excited to see what’s next for you on this new journey. Wishing you nothing but amazing adventures, joyful moments, and unforgettable memories 💛

Had an amazing weekend - kicked it off with grandsons soccer game! Then Hubby and I spend our 22nd Anniversary just running the roads, shopping, food, drinks - just hanging out. Oh and I had an emergency showing - he sat in the car for an hour and 15min 🥰 And then off to a beautiful Mother’s Day - showered with beautiful gifts and love this weekend - feeling blessed!!

It’s always an honor to serve those who serve us! 🇺🇸 Huge congratulations to Drake on the purchase of his first home — I know he’s thrilled to be closer to work! I wish you all the best!!
