Yes sometimes we have home buyers in Michigan that won't listen.  That's what the title "if you are going to be stupid, doesn't mean I have to be stupid too" is all about.  I don't want to be mean, or rude so you have to let the buyer down gently and FIRE THEM.  Every once in a while we get a buyer that is smarter than us, that is looking for that great deal, and refuses to listen to reason.Let me give you my latest example.  I was looking for homes for sale in Northville Michigan in the $550,000 to $700,000 range with a client.  They really wanted to be under the $600,000 range but they were not finding what they wanted.  They upped the price range to $700,000.  So they were already frustated.This is an important part of the story.  Their friend told them them got a GREAT DEAL on a hom... 09/25/2018

Most homeowners, who plan to sell their house, often get stuck on two things: renovations and repairs. While these two points do matter, there are a few legal considerations that are swept under the rug. These small mistakes tank your deal and that is how bad word spreads about your house.The key to avoid these mistakes is to think objectively instead of subjectively. Once your feelings are involved, you won’t be able to market or sell the house properly. Most people stick with major repairs and leave the small ones. Of course, this will make a huge difference in the way the buyer will see the house but those small repairs will cost you in the future. So, better make a repair list and then tackle every corner of the house according to priority.Following are 5 mistakes that you need to a... 08/09/2018

Before you even think about buying a home for sale in Northville, Michigan, why not have a look at your financials. Most people believe that the mortgage loan they will apply for will cover all the costs but there are few fees that you will have to pay out of your own pocket. For this reason, you need to have enough savings, so that you can cover the service charges and the real estate agent’s fees.We like to call these extra costs as fee myths, which buyers think are not real. So, what is the first payment that you need to have on hand to make an offer?The down payment!Here’s some good news: you don’t have to pay a 20% down payment when buying a home for sale in Northville, Michigan. Most lenders ask for a 3.5% down payment that is if you have a clean credit card statement. If your cre... 08/04/2018

I wanted to give you a quick metro Detroit real estate update.   Our spring market is heating up simply because there are so few homes for sale out there.  There is a limited inventory.  Home owners are not selling as often as they used to.  People are staying in their homes longer and not making multiple moves.  At one time the average home owner moved every 7 1/2 years.  After the mortgage meltdown many home owners were upside down.  They couldn't move.  So now it is 7 years later and they are able to move, but many are staying put.  They are not opting to upgrade.  Even to downsize may not make sense because of the increased taxes.  They could get a smaller house with more taxes.  So they are not making the move. Let me tell you what I am seeing in this South Eastern Michigan real es... 03/06/2018
