- 01/27/15 08:51 PM
This is a common question for many first time home buyers. They may not know what is earnest money is and that it is required when they were buying West Bloomfield real estate. As a first time homebuyer the whole home buyer process can be quite confusing. So what is earnest money? They say there are three parts to a legal contract when it a judge decides whether it is a legal contract. The three parts of a legal contract are: offer, acceptance, and consideration. So was there an offer? Was there acceptance? What was the consideration? Consideration in the real … (1 comments)

- 01/03/15 08:00 PM
Here are 4 homes for sale in West Bloomfield - which one would you buy? This is what every Michigan home buyer has to go through when searching for a home. The problem is that many metro Detroit home sellers never realize that buyers are comparing their home to other homes in other cities too. Many home buyers price their home for their immediate neighborhood, but never give a thought to the fact that buyers are looking at homes for sale in West Bloomfield and other cities too. It is the same way with lake houses. A seller may be selling … (0 comments)

In addition, directly west of Pine Lake is Orchard Lake, which also has a private country club on its shore. Orchard Lake is surrounded by the city of Orchard Lake Village.

west bloomfield real estate: 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 real estate: I'm sorry I told the truth and you didn't like it
- 01/21/13 10:41 AM
Sometimes as a realtor we get put into a position of telling a seller something they do not want to hear. Sometimes sellers want top dollar for their West Bloomfield home when it is not the best home on the market. When I say not the best home on the market I mean that it is just an average home. I just went to a West Bloomfield home last week (now I always change the cities, dates, and information not to hurt anybody)
This West Bloomfield home was move in ready but it had a couple of issues that would stop … (1 comments)

west bloomfield real estate: 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 real estate: Sellers nightmares - West Bloomfield real estate tips
- 01/11/13 09:52 PM
I recently went through a sellers nightmare on a piece of West Bloomfield real estate. It surprised us all and it has been a while since I have even heard about this scenario happening to a fellow Realtor a few years back. But I want to remind you this is an extremely rare occurrence. I bet it happens once in every 20,000 homes just to give you a guess. It is very rare.
When you sell your West Bloomfield home or West Bloomfield real estate there are usually only two ways out of a legal contract. One is if the home inspection … (3 comments)

west bloomfield real estate: Selling your vacant home – West Bloomfield real estate tips
- 01/08/13 10:50 PM
I am working with a seller that had a sale fall through. We had a deal that was scheduled to close. The day of the closing the buyer lost his job. It was a awful thing to happen right before the holidays. I feel bad for the buyer because his whole life was turned upside down. He had sold his house, and everything was in route to Michigan. I feel bad for my seller because they had the house off the market.
Well the issue now is that the West Bloomfield house is empty. There are nail holes and picture hangers … (0 comments)

west bloomfield real estate: 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)

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.

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 real estate: 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 real estate: West Bloomfield selling tips
- 04/17/12 07:59 PM
I had a client of mine call me yesterday. We have his West Bloomfield home up for sale. A buyers agent had set up a showing appointment for 2 - 3. So my client left (which I really want all my sellers to do) and came back about 3:30. The buyers and their agent were still there.
My client called me up and starting yelling at me. Why are they still here? Why didn't they stick to their appointment? Don't they realize I can't just drive around all day? Don't they realize I have things to do?
I let him go on … (2 comments)

west bloomfield real estate: Green Lake homes, West Bloomfield Michigan
- 11/21/11 07:12 AM
Green Lake homes (West Bloomfield, Michigan) command a higher dollar price for two reasons. It is in West Bloomfield with West Bloomfield schools and because it is a rare non-motorized lake (though there is one street that is Walled Lake Schools).
Green Lake properties range in size from 50' frontage to over a one acre lots. Some of the lake properties have 172' frontage! On one side of the lake some of the lake homes do sit on Commerce Rd which is a busier street.
Standard for Oakland County Lakes you will find a few of the older homes still left on the lake. But … (0 comments)

- 11/09/11 03:09 AM
After making your first round or first few tours of West Bloomfield homes you’ve probably seen a few that got you excited. I always tell my home buyers to make a list of your top 5 choices. That list will change as you see the houses. It also pays to take notes on the West Bloomfield homes you see.
Then comes the hard part. If you have a partner, talk about your choices. If you have time, drive thru the neighborhoods at different times of the day. Then call me! Let’s make an appointment to go back and see them a … (0 comments)

west bloomfield real estate: 6 Steps to Preparing for a home showing – West Bloomfield home seller tips
- 11/04/11 03:04 AM
6 Steps to Preparing for a home showing – West Bloomfield home seller tips
1. Get the house clean. This is important. A filthy house will turn home buyers off. Either clean it yourself or hire a cleaning service. A spotlessly clean home is not essential; dirt and clutter will turn off a home buyer.
2. Mow your lawn, clean the sidewalks, and clear off the front porch. Make sure the kid’s toys and miscellaneous stuff is put away. Bring in the trash cans too! Put everything you can in the garage or shed out of sight.
3. Lock … (1 comments)
