March 15th is the deadline for Spring recreation baseball and softball youth leagues for the Greater Canton Youth Baseball and Softball Association. The GCYBSA is a great league offering a wide range of programs from travel, competitive, to Rec leagues.

My Buyer stepped into a very nice home that they were anxious to see this past weekend. Their first sensation through the door was of smell of cinnamon. The second was a sign that said, "inside cats live here, please close door quickly". As we progressed through the home the cinnamon smell became stronger and stronger... as we observed every room with scented plug-in's. The odor of the plug-in's became unbearable and we had to cut our showing short. While I think the sellers were trying to enhance their home, they actually sabotaged this showing as the buyers could not continue to look at the home with the overpowering smell of cinnamon emanating from every room. Additionally, the buyers began to wonder out loud what foul odors the sellers were trying to mask? The buyers began to guess ...

Sometimes when we show houses our buyers bring along a friend or family member.  That family member or friend has their own pre-conceptions of what issues the buyer should be looking for.  I once had the "friend" going around flushing all the toilets to make sure they worked.  That was their number one priority on what to look for.                                                 Well today I was looking at homes with one of my clients in Canton MI.  She was a single woman who brought along her uncle.  Of course the uncle was pointing out every bad point in all the houses we looked at.  So it turned off the young lady. There is no home in Canton MI that is perfect.  There are not any perfect homes.  Any house over 5 years old has some sort of issue.  Older homes have more issues.  But my...

Today I saw a question on a national news morning show and I thought it could be about Canton Real estate.  Interesting enough it really was from Michigan.  The sellers were having to relocate.  They sold their Michigan home but because home values had fallen so much they didn't not get any money from the sale of their home. WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? How do they buy a new home if they got no money from the sale of their old Canton Home.  My suggestion is to go back to the basics.  Get an least expensive apartment and LIVE BELOW your means.  Yes you have to go back to saving.  For many people that is a foreign concept.  But for all the people that have lost their homes that is what you have to do.  There is no more 100% loans unless it is a rural development loan. You have to have a down pay...

I thought I would share my journey of buying an Michigan investment property.  I already have a Canton duplex that I rent out to two different sets of people.  And many years ago I had a house that I rented out for three years.  So I will start So I do have experience.  My first experience of being a landlord wasn't very good.  THEFT ----   I only rented the house and kept the garage to store my possessions.  I even stored a boat in the back yard one year.  My tenants learned how to break into the garage and steal stuff out of it.  The boat was shrink wrapped but somebody cut the shrink wrap and stole the radio, the depth finder, and anything else that valuable out of it. SECTION 8 ---- I rented the home to a lady that lived with a boyfriend which was a no-no for section 8.   So she was...

Here are the latest list of Canton Homes for lease as 3/12/2010.  There are no Canton rental homes listed under a thousand dollars.  There are a few deal on the list.  How about a 3100 square foot house for only $1950 a month!  Many of the homes that are nice and reasonably priced are not on the market more than a couple of weeks, so don't wait on putting in an offer if the home is a good deal.  The dogs or overpriced ones of course sit forever.  Canton is a great town to live in.  Ford Road is the main shopping area that is convenient whereever you live in Canton.  Then the easy access to I-275 expressway makes traveling around Detroit easy.  Feel free to email me to have the latest Canton homes for lease (Canton rental homes) sent to you weekly or call me with any questions about the ...

Yes can you score or are you falling short?  Like the Colts tonight you can have great players, a great leader and still not come up a winner.  The Indianopolis Colts were favored to win but they came up short. It is the same way in real estate.  You can have a good realtor, put in a good offer and still not get a home.  The other side, the seller may not cooperate.  Here are some examples: 1.)  Some metro Detroit home buyers put in a offer over list price, but their offer was rejected on a Canton foreclosure because a lower cash offer was accepted.  Yes you heard me right, a lower cash offer.  The house needed a few repairs and the client was doing a FHA loan.  The bank didn't want to fix anything. 2.)  A client of mine lost a bid last week.  The seller has to sell the home at list pri...

If you are thinking of selling your home yourself here are some thing to think about.  Selling a home takes time but I will admit it can be done.  In this Metro Detroit real estate market it is extremely important to grab every buyer lead that is out there.  It is important to have priced your home right.  And most importantly to have the knowledge to negotiate the deal to close and hold the deal together when there are issues.   These are the top 5 reasons FSBO's are trying to sell right now in the metro Detroit real estate market. 1.  For Sale by Owners do not want to pay commission or Pay a commission they think is high:  80%.  For sale by owners want to save money.  In this market some of them are very close to what they owe.  They feel they have to sell themselves.  But according t...
