Macomb County Real Estate Notes

My life used to be so so simple...till My Computer caused Brain Over Load. It all started back in 1981 when I decided to get a degree as a computer programmer. Back then I was learning Cobal, Fortran and Assembler computer languages. What can I say I'm old. Anyway, I remember my mind being pushed...

Living in Michigan I know homes are selling for less and the Big Three is looking for financial help. However, are things really as bad as the press tells us? Do you think they make things sound worse to get more readers and more viewers? I remember as a kid my mom saying "misery loves company" a...

I was raised with three brothers and had to attend all kinds of sporting events as a kid. But to me none was worse than football. Now I did make the best of it and became a cheerleader, liked the boys hated the weather and the game. Then I grew up and guess what? My dad and brothers watched footb...

Several years ago I was looking to get rid of some old clothes and just happened to stop in the Samaritan House in Washington Township. They told me that they did not store clothes there but did occationally need them and asked if I would like to be added to their e-mail list, in case someone had...

Yesterday while setting appointments to show homes with XYZ Real Estate here's what I heard "sorry there are no showing on that home till after 6 pm on weekdays. Would you like to reschedule?" Now unless I missed a Huge news flash we are still in a buyers market. I guess any buyers working the af...

These are the words we heard from our 25 year old son Mike, after spending 5 years at Central Michigan University.  First we said "Are You Crazy"? We knew he did some drinking at Party Central but he must have killed a ton of brain cells to want to be a real estate agent in Macomb County, Michiga...
