A DIGITAL MEDIA AND CONSULTING COMPANY · COMMERCE, MICHIGAN
Built on the most sophisticated technology there is — so your media, videos, and websites get noticed.
Starting at $795
A website designed for your business — your name, your logo, your colors, your pages — built on the most sophisticated technology there is, with tools behind it that keep working for you around the clock.
Knob Hill Consulting is our real estate side — buying, selling, and renting in Southeast Michigan.
SEE THE WORK
This is the finished product: a partner video made for a real local business — her business, her close, her customers. It's the example we point every new partner to: “We will fix you up lickety-split — here is an example.” Press play — it runs right here.
THE HANDBOOKS
This is how Bob works: he puts something useful in your hands before he ever asks for anything. He publishes three local handbooks — the Renter's Handbook, the First-Time Homebuyer Handbook, and the Longtime Homeowner Handbook — filled with the local businesses he knows, uses, and works with. Request yours and he'll get it to you. That's what a partner does.
For people renting a home — the trusted local businesses and services that help a rented house run well, gathered in one place.
Just ask
For people buying a home for the first time — the lenders, inspectors, trades, and local businesses Bob knows and works with, gathered in one place.
Just ask
For people who already own — the trusted local businesses that keep a house running, from roofers and plumbers to the places neighbors swear by.
Just ask
The people we send our clients to — the mortgage and title partners who get deals closed clean.
MORTGAGE
CrossCountry Mortgage · Steve Stork
Bob's mortgage partner — the first call for pre-approvals, purchase loans, and straight answers on what a buyer can actually close.
TITLE
Powered by Cislo Title
Title work and closings handled by a team that knows Michigan transactions inside and out.
Psst — that's Super Bob himself, navy suit and red cape. Tap to step inside.
Super Bob is larger than life. He is your friend and neighbor. And he wants to see you be successful.
His promise: under promise, over deliver.
THE IMPRINT
As founder of Knob Hill Publishing, I build on cutting-edge technology to give businesses media support that works as hard as they do. Knob Hill offers a diverse range of media and consulting services to businesses all across Michigan and beyond.
I am also a REALTOR®, licensed in Michigan — second-generation, because real estate runs in my family. I help clients buy and sell homes across Southeast Michigan.

THE VIDEO LIBRARY
Everything that isn't Super Bob: market pieces, listing and open-house videos, and plain-English explainers — the working video library of a real estate practice and a media company. The finished pieces play right here on the page, and the library keeps growing on Bob's YouTube channel.
▶ WATCH ON YOUTUBE ↗
Finished pieces, playing right on this page — the partner video we made for a local business, the market explainers, the Review Read, an open-house reel, and the kit teaser. Scroll the line sideways.
The Super Bob Adventures series has its own page — capes stay over there, business stays here.
This library is the proof of the product: Knob Hill Publishing makes videos for local businesses, starting at $100 — and everything we build is yours.
THE IMPRINT
Robert C. Vautaw, MPA, is a second-generation REALTOR® — real estate is the family business — who returned to it after a career in public service. He earned his MPA at Oakland University and his undergraduate degree at Ferris State University.
As a city manager and a State of Michigan employee responsible for large programs and projects — contract negotiation and managing large contracts were the daily work — he built on a foundation laid earlier in his career in law enforcement and the fire service. Today his work is sales, investing, publishing, media, website design, and consulting, deep in real estate — and the books from Knob Hill Publishing put that whole record to work for the agents coming up behind him.
The book promo and the Start From Strength kit films — press play, they run right here. Scroll the line sideways.

MEDIA SERVICES FOR LOCAL BUSINESS
If your business has no business Facebook page — or a thin one nobody finds — customers walk past you online every day. We fix that, fast, for less than one boosted post done wrong.
SEE THE OPTIONS AND REQUEST YOUR BUILD ↗That page is where every package is picked and approved — the options, the prices, and the approval form, all in one place.
$100
One time · no contract · no monthly fee
A business Facebook page and a produced video designed for your business, built on the most sophisticated technology there is — so customers stop walking past you online and start seeing what you do.
$795
Everything in Get Found, plus a website designed for your business on your own domain, built on the most sophisticated technology there is — so when customers search for you, they land somewhere real, and the tools behind it keep working for you around the clock.
$1,495
The full setup — everything in Get Noticed, plus Google Business Profile setup, logo and basic branding, and a second video — designed for your business on the most sophisticated technology there is, so you are the obvious pick everywhere a customer looks.
A professionally built website runs $2,000 to $8,000, and the average basic website costs about $3,200. Knob Hill Publishing builds yours for $795 — about $2,400 back in your pocket.
That is not a lesser product at a lower price. It is a premium product offered at extreme value. We build on the most sophisticated technology there is, with nothing pulled off a shelf, and because we can shift on the fly, the savings land in your pocket instead of our overhead.
Start with Get Found and move to your website within 15 days, and your $100 is a credit toward the site: $695 balance.
Whatever we build for you, you own it outright — page, video, website, all of it. And every final product is personally reviewed by Bob against industry benchmarks and best practices before it ships.
Every payment here is processed by Stripe, the company that moves on the order of $1.1 trillion a year for businesses including Amazon, Google, BMW, and Maersk. Most customers never notice it working. It is a very large company that operates in the background — but in the world of payment processing, it is one of the best-known names there is. Your card details go directly to Stripe. They are never stored here.

MORE OF THE WORK
The branding work includes print templates designed for your business — the same set, shown here in our own branding so you can see exactly what a finished template looks like.
We design the templates. We are not a printing service — you receive finished, print-ready template files and take them to any printer you choose.
You receive: a print-ready business card file, front and back, with your name, logo, and colors.
You receive: a print-ready letterhead template file — your header and contact line set at the top of every letter.
You receive: a ready-to-paste signature block for your email — your name, business, and contact details on every message you send.
You receive: a print-ready door hanger file, front and back. This one is ours — the finished Super Bob door hanger, designed here.

WEBSITES BY KNOB HILL PUBLISHING

The roll starts with the site you are standing on. A new entry joins this page only after the owner of that business has seen the finished website and approved it.
It starts with a build made for a look — no charge to look, and no obligation. The price is stated openly, and it is settled only after you have seen the finished website and said yes to it.
A business appears here only after its owner has seen the finished website and approved it. And every entry points out to that business and its own live website, so the traffic this page earns goes where it belongs.

Of Knob Hill Publishing — the same local businesses you'll find in Bob's handbooks: the people he knows, uses, and sends his clients to. Each one gets a few words on why they're here — and where we've made a video for them, it's posted right on their entry.
Bob's three handbooks — for renters, first-time homebuyers, and longtime homeowners — carry these businesses into homes all over the lakes area. This page is that same roll, online — with each partner's video added as it's made.
This is where our partners live. It starts with a Facebook page and a video of your own — built for you, reviewed by Bob, and yours outright.

These terms govern the use of this website and describe how services purchased from Knob Hill Publishing are provided.
This site describes the services and prices of Knob Hill Publishing as of the date of publication. Prices and packages can change. The price that applies to your work is the price confirmed with you before work begins.
Website work is delivered as described in each package. The description of a package — on this site and on the pricing and approval page — states what that package includes, and the work delivered matches that description.
Payment for an Agent Roll-Out is the full package price — one payment, in full, when you say yes.
The content on this site — text, images, video, and design — belongs to Knob Hill Publishing, unless a page credits another owner. Content from this site may not be copied or reused without written permission.
Effective November 8, 2026.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Knob Hill Publishing's total liability arising out of or relating to this website or to any service purchased from Knob Hill Publishing will not exceed the total amount you paid Knob Hill Publishing for the service that gave rise to the claim. In no event will Knob Hill Publishing be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, or data, even if Knob Hill Publishing was advised that such damages were possible. Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, liability for infringement of another person's intellectual property rights, or any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including any right or remedy provided by consumer protection law that cannot be waived.
These terms, and any purchase of services from Knob Hill Publishing, are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this website or to services purchased from Knob Hill Publishing will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Oakland County, Michigan, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you are a consumer, nothing in this section takes away a right or protection that applicable law does not allow you to waive.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold Knob Hill Publishing harmless from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable attorney fees that arise from (a) materials, content, or information you provide to Knob Hill Publishing for use in your website or materials, (b) your use of a website or service delivered by Knob Hill Publishing in violation of these terms or of applicable law, or (c) your infringement of another person's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights. This section does not require you to indemnify Knob Hill Publishing for claims arising from Knob Hill Publishing's own negligence or willful misconduct.
The price that applies to your work is the price confirmed with you before work begins. Because website work begins promptly and is built to order, payments are not refundable once work on your package has begun, except where a refund is required by law. If Knob Hill Publishing cannot deliver the work described in your package, you will be offered the choice of a corrected delivery or a refund of amounts paid for the undelivered work. The Agent Roll-Out is paid the same way as every other package here: the full price, in one payment, as stated in these terms. The Start From Strength Kit carries its own stated term: all sales final.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION OF YOUR PACKAGE, KNOB HILL PUBLISHING PROVIDES THIS WEBSITE AND ITS SERVICES "AS IS" AND DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. KNOB HILL PUBLISHING DOES NOT WARRANT THAT A WEBSITE WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC, LEADS, SALES, OR SEARCH-ENGINE PLACEMENT.
Knob Hill Publishing keeps information submitted through this site only for as long as it is needed to respond to your inquiry, to carry on the conversation or the work you started, and to meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations. When information is no longer needed for those purposes, it is deleted or destroyed so that it cannot be read or reconstructed. You may ask Knob Hill Publishing to delete the personal information you have submitted at any time. Send the request to robert@knobhillpublishing.com, and say which information you want deleted. Your information will be erased within 30 days of your request, except information that must be kept to complete work you have asked for, to keep records the law requires (such as payment and tax records), or to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim. If any of your information must be kept under one of these exceptions, you will be told what is being kept and why.
By selecting a package and completing payment, you are signing these Terms of Purchase electronically. You agree that your electronic signature — including selecting a package, marking an acceptance, and completing payment — is the legal equivalent of your handwritten signature under the federal ESIGN Act and the Michigan Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and that this purchase may be conducted and recorded entirely by electronic means. You may ask for a paper copy of these terms at any time by writing to robert@knobhillpublishing.com. You may withdraw your consent to electronic records for future transactions at the same address; withdrawing consent does not change the validity of a purchase already completed.
If a dispute arises, contact Knob Hill Publishing first at robert@knobhillpublishing.com. Most disagreements about website work are misunderstandings about scope, and the parties will try in good faith to resolve the dispute within 30 days before either party files in the courts named in the Governing Law and Venue section.
Knob Hill Publishing may update these terms from time to time. The version posted on this page at the time you purchase a service is the version that governs that purchase. Continued use of this website after an update means you accept the updated terms for your use of the site.
