Ashley Oshinsky

Hi, my name is Ashley Oshinsky and I’m the founder & Principal Associate Broker of Higher Living Real Estate.

I’ve lived in 15 different places in 30 years. Growing up in a divorced family, we moved a lot. During the recession, I called many places home. I’ve seen my childhood home go into foreclosure and seen many friends & family experience the same. Home has always been more of a feeling than a place for me, as it had to be during hard times.

Most of my family was in the mortgage and real estate industry. I saw them lose their jobs and businesses when the market crashed in 2008. In a matter of a year, several homes that meant a whole lot to me get foreclosed on and bought by someone else. The world as I had known it for 18 years changed pretty much overnight.

I knew I had a long way to go before I would be able to afford my own home. I had a lot of growing to do in all aspects of life. I had four years of college to complete, a career to establish and get my credit where it needed to be. I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life or Communications degree, to be honest. All I knew was that I wanted to help people in some capacity.

Everything came into focus for me when I was 22 and almost done with college. I was searching for a new job & came across an opportunity at a boutique real estate office in downtown Royal Oak. I went in for the interview and got the position on the spot. I also enrolled in my real estate licensing class, took the exam, and got licensed. I knew this opportunity to learn the business inside and out was my ticket to making a career for myself.

I knew a career into real estate could have the potential to change my life and help me help others. It was redemption for me after what my family went through in 2009. Finally, I was taking control of something that turned my world upside down. I also knew that real estate was in my blood!

I was only at that job for about a year, as it wasn’t the right environment for me to succeed. I moved on to a career in real estate, which inspired me to create Higher Living Real Estate.

In 2022 I decided to take my business to the next level by getting my Real Estate Broker license & opening my own brokerage. Did I mention that I was 6 months pregnant with baby #2 & a toddler running around at the time?!?

It’s been a crazy journey to get where I’m at in my business & my personal life. My husband & I got married in 2017 & we were able to save enough money to buy our first home in 2018. In 2019 we started trying for a baby & had a miscarriage at our first go at it. But, in 2020 we were blessed with our son Jaxton who is now a full of energy toddler. In 2022, our daughter Jade made her debut on the floor of our living room- we had a planned home birth.

When we bought our house our intention was to have it for a while & let our kids grow up here. There are so many aspects of the house we absolutely love. But, as our family has grown, the house feels extra small. There isn’t enough space for all of us.

We’ve been on the hunt for the perfect forever house to raise our family in. But, I’m very picky & nothing has fit the bill just yet. I trust the process & understand that when the timing is right the right house will come.

Let’s be honest, the journey to start a family is scary enough. The thought of selling our first home & buying something new on top of it all can be a lot to handle. Taking a financial risk coupled with balancing a family is difficult, but I choose to not let fear define me.

Having been through that leap recently myself, I know exactly how you’re feeling. I know what petty arguments you’re having with your partner. I know what it takes to get through the process as quick & seamless as possible!

What Our
Client's Say

I have had the pleasure of working with Ashley Oshinsky for the past six months. She has been very proficient in both the sale and purchase of homes for me. She is very knowledgeable and well connected in the community. I have trusted her decisions and they have worked out well for me. She is always positive and very supportive even in the stressful business of buying and selling your home. I cannot recommend a better agent, she is always a breath of fresh air!

Denise & Roger Bigelow

Ashley was amazing through the entire home purchasing process. She was constantly on top of the situation and gave us plenty of information on what to expect each step of the way. She communicated with the seller’s realtor, the title company, and the bank often on our behalf and would update us regularly on every development. Even during these challenging times Ashley helped guide us through the entire home buying process and we successfully closed on our target date.

Matthew McFerrin

Ashley was the perfect realtor for us. She found our dream home and was very patient with us. I will recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. She's the best around!

Levi & Ania Purrienhage

When my wife and I decided we wanted to move closer to family we reached out to Ashley to begin looking at properties. Ashley showed us so many properties and throughout that part of our journey we never felt pressure to make a decision or to just go with a home that wasn’t our perfect home. When we finally found a new build option Ashley navigated the complex process with us with ease and expertise. She advocated for our needs, she was always one step ahead of the process for us. Extremely responsive anytime we had a question/concern/worry she was right there with us answering questions and solving problems. I would recommend Ashley to any and everyone out there. She will be our realtor forever and can’t wait to list our home with her!

Hannah & Nicole Figueroa

Ashley is the best! She was so patient with my husband and I as we sought out to buy our first home. She is receptive to all questions, responds immediately, and always made sure we were comfortable with decisions and deals being made. From picking us up and driving us around for a marathon house viewing afternoon, to the many many phone calls and daily updates - she was there with us every step of the way and more (not to mention the adorable housewarming gift she left on our front porch after our closing)! We would recommend Ashley to anyone, anytime! She is extremely knowledgeable, down to earth, and friendly. It was so refreshing working with someone who we felt we have been friends with for a long time. Our experience was A+ 10/10 would recommend 🙂

Karly & Joe Martinez

I am so thankful we were given Ashley as a contact when we were starting our home search. She is super easy going and kind. Through the whole process she stayed on top of every little detail. Always kept me informed and checked in with me even when there was a day or two of nothing really happening. Whenever I had a question she immediately responded or reached out to the sellers agent to get the info I needed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for their new home.

Jennifer Lynn

Ashley was so easy and helpful to work with! She consistently checked in with us and went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable with the whole process - she was honest and operated with integrity and we will absolutely use her the next time we need a Realtor!

Brooke Roz

I cannot say enough by how impressed I have been with Ashley. There was never a time that I could not get ahold of her, even for the smallest question. She made herself available on a moments notice. During negotiations I felt more than confident that my needs were being advocated for. Beyond her incredible work ethic, Ashley was also one of the sweetest people I have ever met. The selling, and buying process can be emotional at times and Ashley was always there to make sure I understood everything going on and the possible outcomes. No doubt I will use Ashley for all of future sales and purchases.
