audu real estate: Finding the Perfect Home for My Buyer - Finally - 03/09/10 12:38 PM
    Walking out of the closing, everyone was high-fiving - myself included.  Jammie, the son-in-law with whom she's been living, who is also a proud new papa, Dawn - one of her daughters, and the mortgage person she's been working with.  Diane, the Buyer,  has been a friend of mine for many years and has been talking about buying a home for probably 2 years.  We started seriously looking in Dorr & Wayland (Allegan County)  last year (looked at several) and put in 3 offers on different homes before we found this one - a HUD home.  It was above the … (4 comments)

audu real estate: The Short, Sweet Closing! - 09/08/09 09:34 AM
     I had the privilege of being involved in one of the quickest transactions in my career.  I received a call on Tuesday, August 25th to show the listing right away as the Agent was at the home but had no access card.  Gave her a code, received an offer that night (cash:) ), homeowner accepted Wednesday and closed on the home on Monday the 31st.  Gotta love it!  The new homeowners could not be happier.  They were wanting to get their granddaughter in the school system before school starts and wanted a home with no banks involved (short sale or … (13 comments)

audu real estate: What's Your Kent County Home Worth? How much has the value decreased... - 01/28/09 08:35 AM
     A very eye-opening article was published in The Grand Rapids Press on Sunday by local reporter Cami Reister.  Why and how much home prices and values  have decreased in Kent County and also neighboring Ottawa and Allegan Counties.  As Real Estate Agents, we've been talking about this for the last two years.  Home values have significantly decreased in the last two to three years and depending on how many foreclosures and short sales come on the market this year, might continue to drop your home value further. 
 
     Real Estate prices in my Grandville community have taken the third … (2 comments)

audu real estate: I Am Honored to Mention Two of Grand Rapids AR Members that Were Honored - 12/16/08 08:48 AM
    This past Friday at Frederik Meijer Gardens 2 of our fellow Rainers were honored at our Grand Rapids Association of Realtors(R) breakfast.  First, and I must admit I am very proud of her, our own Lola Audu was installed as a Director for the upcoming year.  I'm really excited about that, too, because of Lola's insights into the technology of today and her visions; and also because of her integrity, which is so important in this day and age.  Second, was Michelle Gordon, for The Good Neighbor Award for the time and energy she devotes to the ICCF, as well … (2 comments)

audu real estate: Sale Fallen Through - Back on Market - 12/10/08 10:46 AM
     I've been working on the Sale of this Home in Grandville, MI  for over 2 months now and received the dreaded call last night from the Buyer's Agent - The buyer's will no longer be able to purchase the home due to personal reasons.  They are very upset because they had found their "Dream Home".  I showed them through twice at an Open House, once by themselves and once with his parents.  They really loved this home. 
     It's a nice 3 bedroom ranch with a roomy living room, ceramic tile in the kitchen, dining area with wood-laminate floors and … (8 comments)

audu real estate: Without Further Ado... - 11/13/08 02:28 PM
Today I attended my first local WCR luncheon here in Grand Rapids at the Watermark Country Club.  I met and talked to several members of the Women's Council and really had an enjoyable time (the food was fabulous).  My main reason for attending was that  they were featuring a wonderful speaker whom I greatly admire and who can captivate audiences and really get their minds racing. 
Without further ado.....I give you Lola Audu.....(that's actually a line I picked up from her)...

As always, she had a lot of interesting things to say and even though I work with her, I … (7 comments)

audu real estate: 2 Closings in One Day! - 06/04/08 11:59 AM
Okay, so some of you seasoned pros out there have probably done this quite often, and quite a few times, but as a newer agent this is my first.  The Grand Rapids, MI real estate market is really picking up!  My first client, Faye, and I have been working together for a long time.  We'd finally found a few houses she liked, but every time we put an offer in - it was sold.  There were several competing offers, in fact.  I felt bad for Faye not getting these homes, but it felt good knowing the market is moving and homes … (15 comments)

   Located in Shelbyville, MI (Allegan County) and centrally located to Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.  Shelbyville is a quaint, small town with a small town feel so you'll be living in the beautiful country, but on a road that's easily accessible to US131.  Being that I'm a golf fanatic, you're two minutes away from Hidden Valley Golf Course which is a personal favorite of mine.  You've also got Gun Lake for camping and recreation nearby as well as other lakes and golf courses.  Michigan has many, many lakes, small and large for fishing to fun!

audu real estate: 2 Year Anniversary In Real Estate: Who Do I Thank For That? - 03/12/08 10:33 AM
     March 8 marked my two year anniversary of when I received my Realtors license.  A moment, by the way, that was very exciting for me but I hardly had anyone to share it with.  The lady at the licensing board congratulated me and sent me on my way, my husband was working, all my friends were too - and I wanted to celebrate.  I made a couple of phone calls to people who were in my class that I'd gotten to know and they were happy for me, but busy.  Then I called Renee and she dropped what she was … (11 comments)

    As I am fast approaching my 2 year anniversary in Real Estate (what a ride it's been!) - My first "ThemThem" post has to be about my friend, Broker and Mentor Lola Audu.  Many of you are familiar with her posts and her inspiring, insightful and informational blogs.  And yes, she is that way in real life, too.  I only came aboard as an agent, having previously known Lola, because I wanted to be with someone I could trust.  Our office is like one happy family and we share and help each other out - I wouldn't trade that for … (16 comments)
