Who We Are
custom home design since 1990
About Vitale Real Estate
The roots of our custom home design were formed in 1995 by Gaspare Vitale. With hands-on experience from an early age, working in his family’s legacy business, Gaspare developed a deep passion for designing and building homes. As his knowledge and vision grew, so did his desire to create something more, a real estate experience that puts the client at the center of every decision.
2010
We began developing a client-centered sales process, one built around transparency, trust, and the unique needs of each homeowner. This laid the foundation for how we work today: no pressure, just people helping people build their future.
Redefining the Sales Experience
2012
Vitale Real Estate & New Homes was officially launched to bring a more personal, streamlined custom home experience to life. Every project became an opportunity to create something meaningful for real families, built around their lifestyle and vision.
Vitale Real Estate & New Homes Is Born
2019
Thanks to the trust of our clients and the strength of our process, we grew into one of the most respected custom home builders in Macomb and Oakland County. Our mission remained simple, put the client at the center and deliver with care, every time.
Growth Fueled by Client Trust
Present
Today, we continue to expand our network of expert partners, architects, engineers, and interior designers to ensure you’re matched with the best team for your vision. Every home is still custom. Every step is still about you!

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN
The right architectural support for your custom home.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we work with a trusted network of architectural professionals and design partners based on the needs, timeline, and complexity of each project. This allows us to connect clients with the right support for their vision while keeping the process moving forward with flexibility and efficiency.
From early concepts to construction-ready plans, our goal is to make the architectural side of building feel more approachable, organized, and aligned with the way you want your home to function, feel, and flow.
Every custom home begins with a clear vision and the right design support.
Tailored Interior Design for Your Dream Home
Design Collaboration That Brings Your Vision Home
At Vitale Real Estate & New Homes, design is at the heart of every build. We believe your home should be a reflection of how you live, what you love, and the moments you create within it. That’s why we partner with Amy Elizabeth Design (AED) — a luxury interior design studio known for their timeless, livable spaces and personalized design approach.

I meet with clients to discuss building their dream custom home, price out wish lists, sell existing homes, assist clients when finding their own property, work directly with lenders to ensure a smooth process, and coordinate all closings.

Operations Manager and Selections Coordinator
Meet Michelle
I have a dual role within the organization as Operations Manager and Selections Coordinator, where I merge meticulous operational oversight with a designer’s eye for detail. I ensure that the build process and aesthetic outcome reflect the client’s unique vision. Streamlining workflows across sales, design, procurement and construction teams, I help deliver high quality homes while guiding clients through curated selections and bespoke design decisions. My approach combines operational precision, architectural insight, and high-touch client service, transforming the journey of building a home into a truly signature luxury experience.
What is your role at Vitale Real Estate?
What's your experience?
After years in luxury retail, I decided it was time to trade in high-end handbags for hard hats. Blame it on watching way too much HGTV — or call it destiny. Partnering with a general contractor, I dove headfirst into project management and design, learning the nuts, bolts, and beams of residential construction. Being equally comfortable with knowing how a wall should be built, and making it pretty, I blend structural know-how with an eye for trends and style — proving that beauty really can be built from the ground up.
I strengthen the company from the inside out by creating a smoother, more intuitive experience for clients and a more efficient workflow for our team. I guide homeowners through their selections with clarity and confidence, helping them make choices that feel cohesive, personal, and aligned with their vision. Behind the scenes, I refine the internal tools we rely on, streamline communication between departments, and build systems that keep projects moving without confusion or delays. The result is a company that feels more organized, more responsive, and more enjoyable to work with—because every part of the process, from the first meeting to the final walkthrough, benefits from thoughtful design and strong operational structure.
How have you improved Vitale?
What is your message for potential buyers?
Building a new home means you’re not just buying a house—you’re creating your house, one that reflects your routines, your style, and the way you actually live. Instead of working around someone else’s choices, spaces are designed that fit you perfectly—from the flow of your kitchen to the colors that make you feel at home. The result is a cohesive, personalized home that feels like it was made for you…because it truly was. Don’t be afraid to take the leap and create your masterpiece.

Rick & Family
The Vitale Real Estate team has made designing and building our dream home a great experience.
When my wife and I decided to put our roots down in Michigan, it felt natural to choose Vitale Real Estate to build our dream home (especially since my wife has been stalking the Vitale properties for years, she loves the style, functionality and quality of all the model homes she visited).
HAPPY HOME BUILDERS
As a military family, we have had to uproot our family a few times over the years.
