Peter Sabbagh – Real Estate Agent | Creative Producer
Brokerage: Real Estate One / The Ann Arbor Life of Michigan
About Me
With over 25 years of experience in media, marketing, and production, I offer a unique advantage in today’s real estate market—especially for sellers who understand the power of presentation, storytelling, and strategic outreach.
Before becoming a full-time real estate agent, I produced content and created digital strategies for national media brands including Top Chef (Bravo TV), Chopped Winner (Food Network), the American Museum of Natural History, Radio City Music Hall, and Million Dollar Listing (Bravo TV). That background now drives every home I represent, from professionally shot photos and cinematic video to high-impact marketing campaigns that attract serious buyers—locally and internationally.
I hold a Master’s Degree from studies at Harvard University and New York University, graduating with a 3.8 GPA. My academic training included multimedia production, research, negotiation, and Government/Law Studies—completing the equivalent of a first-year law school curriculum, including contract law, which directly supports the real estate transaction process.
These skills, along with strong project management experience, allow me to help clients navigate complex deals with clarity, professionalism, and confidence.
As a longtime Ann Arbor resident who has raised a family here, I have deep roots in the community and a local’s understanding of Southeast Michigan—from Ann Arbor, Dexter, Saline, and Scio Township to the greater Metro Detroit area.
I work with a wide range of clients:
-
Baby Boomers looking to right-size or transition to a new lifestyle
-
First-time buyers seeking honest guidance in a fast-moving market
-
Relocating professionals and families drawn to Ann Arbor’s innovation, education, and culture
-
Luxury buyers and sellers who expect elevated service and creative, results-driven marketing
Whether you’re buying your first home or selling your third, I’m here to make the process thoughtful, strategic, and seamless—from beginning to close.
Community Involvement
As an advocate for community involvement, I regularly volunteer with local nonprofits including Habitat for Humanity, Food Gatherers, and 826michigan, supporting literacy and youth development in the region.
Volunteering alongside Scott Roubeck, Community Kitchen Manager at Food Gatherers in Ann Arbor (5/5/25). The Community Kitchen provides free meals to anyone in need—proud to support an organization that reflects the heart of our community.
Let’s work together to make your real estate goals a reality.
