buyers: Honesty is the Best Policy in Ann Arbor Real Estate
- 02/21/08 10:27 AM
Several years ago, I met a professor in the Psychology Dept. at the University of Michigan. She had found me on the Internet and wanted me to preview her lake house to sell. The house was a cute cottage on the Horseshoe Chain of Lakes. We walked around the cottage, it was only about 30 feet to the water. Really cute cottage. As we continued to walked around the house, she told me that the air conditioning unit was encroaching on the house next door and she asked me if she should move it? My response was, “What is your … (62 comments)
buyers: Over Full Price Offer Rejected in Ann Arbor Area "What"?
- 12/13/07 10:43 PM
A house and five acres is listed at $79,900, and it is in foreclosure. It was originally listed at $154,900 back in April. Pattie, one of my Buyer Agents is working with some wonderful first time home buyers and even with a ton of work they want this house and land. It is in a very good school district. Only 2 bedrooms, on a crawl space, less than 1000 square feet and needs a ton of work. In fact they want it so bad that they want to "pay over asking price." The listing agent that represents the bank tells her another offer came in, but … (67 comments)

buyers: Why the Media is WRONG in Ann Arbor, MI.
- 11/29/07 12:49 AM
This is why the media is wrong......in Ann Arbor, MI. and I suspect YOUR market area's too. Here is an email I got from one of my Buyer Agents yesterday in Ann Arbor, MI. Besides this update she has 3 pendings. XXXXX wrote again tonight, fax it tomorrow. The house is in Fenton, its closer to his work than anything else we have looked at. 185k with 3 back, but the home is listed at 200k and its Sev is 139k. They can only go up to 188k comfortably.

This fabulous home is located only minutes away from the new Toyota facility being built in York Township, Washtenaw County, MI. Custom designed and built by Gabrien Construction. I first began talking to the sellers back in late September, when they found me doing a Google Search. I sent them out my marketing materials to show them how the Missy Caulk TEAM, sells aproximately 50 homes a year and if that marketing plan would fit their needs. They were currently listed with a very good agent in Ann Arbor, MI and I told them so. I wanted them to know the only … (31 comments)
buyers: How will YOU Know when YOUR Market has Turned ?
- 10/13/07 05:25 AM
We read so many posts here on Activerain, about the market, the inventory, the lack of buyers, frustrated sellers, the economy, and the sub-prime mortgage industry, foreclosures, and the media. There is tons of finger pointing.........the buyers signing things they didn't understand, the lenders for selling mortgages to uncredit worthy people, the appraisers for appraising houses higher than they should have, Realtors pricing too high. We have seen and read it all. As a licensed Broker, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, we saw the market turn back in summer of 2001. Yes, I said summer of 2001, before 9-11. For example, I … (83 comments)
buyers: Buying a House Is Like Falling In Love.
- 08/02/07 05:02 AM
It has been said that people don't want to be SOLD, they want to buy. Years ago when I first started my career in Real Estate, I was interviewing different companies around Ann Arbor, and Saline, Mi. I was looking for the "right fit" for me. That meant "no cold calling", "no knocking on doors". Shortly after, when I started working with buyers, I discovered that wonderful little secret. My little secret that has made my life fun (most of the time) is that my job was to just introduce people to the homes that matched their criteria and they would either … (120 comments)
buyers: An Internet Lead Bears Fruit
- 05/14/07 11:15 PM
"High Tech, Personal Touch" is a slogan I have been using in my email signatures for many years. "Old Fashion Service with Modern Technology" is a slogan I use on my web site for Ann Arbor, MI. Recently Jeff Turner wrote a post on You Engaging Others and not worrying so much about Search Engine Results. But, taking care of the people and engaging them. Yesterday and today, I am working with a buyer that was just another internet lead from one of my sites, 10 months ago. Yes, I said 10 months ago. We met for the first time face to face, … (25 comments)
