The Greater Lansing Michigan real estate market showed a substantial increase in pending and closed sales for weekending October 13, 2009 over last year the same week according to GLAR. 

Pending home sales have increased for seven straight months, the longest in the series of the index which began in 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors®.

It's nice to see positive news for buyers, sellers and Realtors. The 3rd quarter real estate market report does not exactly illustrate much good news with the exception of lower inventories and additional units sold. Pricing in the greater Lansing area is still coming down to reality and should begin to stabilize over the next few months.

 I am prepared to employ the latest techniques and services for your benefit, just like you've grown to expect from a professional. Real estate transactions are complex, involve large assets and demand competent representation.  Marketing properties, home selection and financing are just a few of the skills today's consumer looks for when they select a real estate professional. I am prepared to offer my clients the knowledge and expertise to counsel them in relocating, buying, investing or selling the family home. 

In today's market, you need someone who knows what they're doing and will work hard to get the job done. My knowledge of the real estate market, negotiating skills, and ability to listen to clients' needs and desires keep me ahead of my competition.
