novi mi: Novi home selling tip - moving out - 07/18/12 02:43 AM
I recently had a small problem with one of my Novi sellers.  He did not want to clean the house out until he closed.  Then he did not want to pay occupancy.  That is not how it works.
When you close on your Novi home the buyers own it.  You have no right to enter the premises.  You have no right to store your belongings there.  You are out.  The buyers have complete control of the property and you would be trespassing.  So the only way you can keep belongings there is if you rent it.

Other items that are usually governed by … (0 comments)

novi mi: Why Live in Novi MI - 02/17/09 01:45 PM
Novi is located in the southwestern part of Oakland County MI.  One of the nice things about Novi is that it has great highway access.  I-275 runs on the east side of Novi and I-96 runs through the Northern part of Novi.
This gives any commuter access to Southfield, Brighton, Lansing, downtown Detroit, downriver, or the east side.  Many time I have Metro Detroit home buyers buy in Novi because one person is going to work in one direction and the spouse is driving in the complete opposite direction.
Some of the major roads that run through Novi from east to west are:
