west bloomfield foreclosures: Winter Home selling tips - Keep it Warm - West Bloomfield homes for sale - 02/01/13 03:24 AM
So you have a West Bloomfield home for sale and wondering why it is not selling.  I believe one of the best Winter home selling tips I can give you is to keep it warm.  So many times West Bloomfield home sellers get cheap when they should be spending money to sell their home.  Is it worth saving $100 or $200 on an electric bill when selling your home.
 
Let's think of it this way.  Your mortgage is $1200 a month, your utilities are $350 a month, and your taxes are $400 a month.  So the total it costs you … (1 comments)

west bloomfield foreclosures: What will the seller take - West Bloomfield real estate - 01/13/13 03:02 AM
Let's talk about West Bloomfield real estate or more indepth about making an offer on a West Bloomfield condo.  I was out looking at condos in West Bloomfield today with clients.  They liked one of the ones we saw and they asked "What will the seller take?"   Unfortunately none of us knows what the seller will take.
I have been in the business quite a few years and have closed hundreds of homes yet I can never really tell what the seller might take.  Sometimes you get an inkling of what they can take by looking at public records and seeing … (1 comments)

west bloomfield foreclosures: Multiple offer ethics - West Bloomfield real estate - 01/06/13 10:31 PM
Ethics when home buying is no different than real life.  So here is what some people do to others.I have seen some agents actually put in multiple offers on different homes at the same time so their clients can win one.  They may put in an offer on a piece of West Bloomfield real estate in one subdivision and then put in an offer on another home.  Well the first question I have for you is what happens if the both sellers accept without any changes?  Guess what....YOU OWN TWO HOUSES!!!!
 
That's right they are legal binding contracts.  The only … (18 comments)

West Bloomfield Lakefront home selling tips
When you are getting ready to sell your West Bloomfield lakefront home then I hope these home selling  tips will help you get your home ready and get it sold quickly.  So many lakefront home sellers forget that the outside of a lake home is just as important as the inside of the lake home.  Remember we are selling a lifestyle and the outside of your West Bloomfield Lakefront  home must project that image of fun.  You do not want buyers to think about repairs, work, or having things to do.  You want the buyers to see the lake … (0 comments)

west bloomfield foreclosures: West Bloomfield Sellers tips - broom clean - 06/12/12 04:55 AM
I recently had a West Bloomfield seller that really didn't understand "broom clean".  When you sell your West Bloomfield home it must free of all the junk you have collected over the years.  Yes the old paint cans, those scrap peices of wood that you have saved over the years "that you might need". 
Sheds and the yard have to be cleaned out too.  You can't leave the broken bird bath, or old fertilizer bag in the shed.  Inside the house it is the same.  Run the vacuum over the carpet, sweep the floors, do a quick dusting of the counter … (2 comments)

west bloomfield foreclosures: Pros and Cons of a condo in West Bloomfield - 09/30/11 04:56 AM
Here are some Pros and Cons of a Condo in West Bloomfield.No worries about  hiring contractors or when they show up.  Condo's are great for older people who are tired of looking for a good landscaper, or good repairmen.  If the hassle of keeping up the house is getting to you a condo is a good option. Entertaining.  If you like to throw parties and entertain chose your condo carefully.  A single family home may be better for you.  Parking space in a condo complex is usually limited, there are noise restrictions, and outdoor space is limited.
Outdoor space . Usually you … (0 comments)

west bloomfield foreclosures: West Bloomfield home buyer tips - should I get a home warranty - 05/03/10 03:35 PM
West Bloomfield home buyer tips - should I get a home warranty when I purchase a home?
Yes sometimes it is a good idea to purchase a home protection plan.  I myself think home warranties are just so - so.  If something major goes wrong it is a geat deal.  But there are some limitations with home warranties.   There is always a deductible.  When you call to get something fixed there is usually a co-pay to get it fixed.  Sometimes they verify the item was in good shape when the house was bought.  The home warranty company sometimes asks to see the … (1 comments)
