buyer information: New Michigan Principal Residence Exemption Law Passed - 05/02/12 12:45 PM
Yesterday, Governor Snyder signed into law the revised Principal Residence Exemption statute. The revised statute changes the filing deadline for the Principal Residence Exemption Affidavit from May 1 to June 1 and adds a new second filing date of November 1.
The law will also allow lenders who foreclose on property to retain the principal residence exemption on the property, although a new tax is imposed on the lenders to offset the exemption. However, retaining the principal residence exemption will help subsequent owner-occupied buyers to immediately pay the lower homestead rate.
For taxes levied after December 31, 2011, … (0 comments)

Daily Real Estate News | Tuesday, March 20, 2012 <!-- /.section-date-author --> <!--<pre><?/*php print_r($node);*/?></pre>--> <!--paging_filter--> Economists say the housing market is starting to heal, but too many people aren't aware of it because they're judging a housing recovery on the wrong sign: What’s happening with home prices.
Paul Dales at Capital Economics says higher prices won’t be the sign that the housing market is on the mend — that can be a lagging indicator — but rather an increase in overall home sales. And that's showing signs of improvement: Existing home sales in 2011 rose to 4.26 million compared to 4.19 … (0 comments)

buyer information: Client Success Stories - 12/16/11 04:48 PM
Our almost new log cabin on Lake Superior was up for sale for 3 years. We were relying on the local Realtors to market it for us. We hardly had any showings by them. This past year we decided to try another agency in the area and they did not even show it once!! We were so frustrated because we knew what a beautiful place it was, in a quiet serene area and knew with the right agent it would probably sell. I had been watching Jon Becker's performance with his agency on facebook and voiced my frustration to him, telling … (1 comments)
