Lordeano Essak embarked on his journey into the world of real estate in August of 2018. Despite initial hardships, his passion for the field remained unwavering. “I always envisioned myself as a self-made entrepreneur, and real estate presented the ideal opportunity,” Lordeano said. “As an agent, I guide and assist clients through significant life events, positively impacting their lives. Running my business empowers me to make decisions, implement strategies and build a brand that reflects my vision.”

Before his transition into real estate, Lordeano assisted his parents in running their bakery, Sweet & Sweeter Bakery, in Sterling Heights, when he was freshly out of high school. “As an entrepreneur himself, my dad encouraged me to pursue a career in real estate, and it was a brilliant idea,” he said.

In addition to his father’s prompting, Lordeano was inspired to become an agent from when his family moved from his beloved childhood home when he was just 12 years old. “We lived in the vibrant community of Fox Hill in Sterling Heights,” he shared. “The close-knit neighborhood felt like an extended family, which sparked my interest in helping others find their perfect home.”

Today, Lordeano is a successful agent and REALTOR® at the House of REALTORS® by Community Choice Realty, where he boasts a career volume of $78 million and was honored with the title of Fastest Growing Agent in Macomb County. Besides his stellar professional credentials, Lordeano also holds a double major in health science and psychology from Oakland University.

According to Lordeano, the most rewarding aspect of his career is the joyous moment when clients receive the keys to their new home. “This emotional fulfillment ties in beautifully with my real estate business and fuels my passion,” he said. “I deeply appreciate the trust my clients place in me, and I recognize the seriousness of their decision to buy a home — it’s a life-changing decision that I don’t take lightly.”

With a self-imposed strict working schedule, Lordeano is dedicated to leading his business toward positive outcomes, which is coupled with numerous closed transactions and hundreds of satisfied families across the Metro Detroit area. “Real estate aligns perfectly with my future aspirations of becoming a landlord and owning properties across various states,” he explained. “I see real estate as an everlasting market, because everyone has a vital need for housing. I envision myself thriving in this field for a long time.”

Family life plays an integral role in Lordeano’s life. As one of five siblings, he often helps at the family bakery or spends time working out with his younger brother. Lordeano also supports the Wounded Warrior Project in Oakland County, a testament to his respect for military members’ sacrifices. 

“My advice to aspiring real estate professionals is to stay consistent and never give up,” Lordeano said. “Real estate is a roller coaster of highs and lows. However, I believe in staying true to building lifelong relationships with clients and colleagues through ethics and honesty. These values have undoubtedly contributed to my success.”
