History Loves Company connects historic-property clients with independent local professionals who value architectural character, preservation, and responsible storytelling. Approval is earned through documented standards—not purchased.

Applicants are reviewed for authorization, insurance, ethics, historic-property knowledge, preservation judgment, evidence, communication, and client care. Decisions, badge use, territory, and renewal terms are documented.

Approved partners keep their brokerage and local authority while gaining a verifiable profile and opportunities to contribute to HLC films, articles, market pages, and historic-home storytelling. Applications are open for a limited founding cohort.

Submit your market, experience, references, and sample work. HLC verifies credentials and reviews your knowledge, judgment, communication, and client care. Approved partners receive clear brand-use terms and renew annually, with quarterly authorization checks.

The Foundry in downtown Pontiac is our home base for creators, preservation-minded professionals, community programs, and original media. The network begins in Detroit and Michigan, then expands carefully across the United States and beyond. Founding-cohort applications are open: use Let’s Connect and choose “Approved Partner.”
