Hi Tom and Michelle,

Thanks for visiting my web site: Search Ann Arbor Area Homes and contacting me about your move to Saline, MI As a mother of five children who has been in the Saline School System for many years, I can tell you I am very pleased with the education my children have received.

Here are several web sites you might want to check out, since you are considering moving to Saline.

Saline Area Schools

Saline Chamber of Commerce

Also I have written many blog posts about Saline, MI and our schools. You will especially enjoy the one where Saline Schools were ranked in the top 16% of the nation. The City of Saline was also ranked in the Top 100 Best Places to Live by Money Magazine.

You mentioned in your email that you would like your two children to be able to walk to school. We have two new subdivisions in Saline, called Centennial Park and Centennial Farms. Both of those are within walking distance to the new Heritage School.

I have included three homes that I think you would be interested in and that your children would be able to walk to school.

1035 Bicentennial

1035 Bicentennial, with 3558 square feet, includes a finished basement. This home is priced at 399,900. Walk to Heritage School. Views of protected wet lands, walk-out LL with 3rd bath. Two story great room with soaring ceilings.

6439 Wilson, with 2404 square feet, priced at 389,700. You can still pick your colors and cabinets. Walk to Heritage School. First floor master bedroom suite, 3 car garage, and two story family room. 9 ft basement walls for finishing off at a later date.

6176 Wilson, with 2447 square feet, priced at 339,900. Plus a finished basement. Walk to Heritage School. Professional landscaping, and a view of the pond are one of the highlights of this home. First floor study, formal dining room and generous size bedrooms. This home is really priced very well.

I believe these homes fit your price point, square footage requirement and the children being able to walk to school.

Before your trip to Saline, next weekend, I am including my list of preferred lenders. Please call any or all of them. I can promise you great customer service and many programs to choose from. I have worked with each one of the lenders over the years and can recommend them without hesitation.

I look forward to meeting you both. We will have a good time, as I love to show off my home town and community. I know you will find Saline to be a warm, and welcoming community. My husband and I like to joke that Saline is the most doting, family community in Washtenaw County.

I will pick you up at the Marriot at 10:00 on Friday the 14^th and we can start our tour at that time. Please send me your top 10 MLS numbers at least 48 in advance so I can confirm they are still available and set up the tour. Don't hesitate to me if you have any questions.

Warmest Regards,

Missy,

Impressive !!!!! :) I have not seen that tool, I am not updated about the new tools for blogs, but this is a good one, I like it and i like the way you did your blog for consumers and showing the great information for your state.

Keep the good blog ! :)

Missy,

Very nice job....I would buy the first or third home just from your presentation, oh, and the green grass and trees. :) :)

Hello Missy...I with you well in the contest.

John Occhi is on to something...just creating a template like this to update or personalize as needed is a great use of this contest, long term.

Leigh, I worked on this 2 hours so I appreciate your comment.

Suzanne, appreciate the comment. Thanks !

Monika, thanks for stopping by.

Linda, :)

Maureen, Chris, Christopher, thanks glad you like the layout.

John, sorta but not quite as detailed. Especially if they are not sure if they want Saline, Dexter, Chelsea or other small communities around Ann Arbor, but I think I might work with it and make is more generic for those not sure, maybe link to all he communities for them to check out.

Sally, thanks good luck to you as well, I enjoyed your on Hawaii, as always your love for your state comes through.

Ray, thanks for stopping by and adding your comment.

Kathy, it is so beautiful here, we have had so much rain, that the grass is green everywhere and growing.

Joey, I like his idea too and I am going to work on it.

Missy, you made it so personal that if I didn't know these were ficticiuos buyers I would swear you have been in communication with them. Great job! I loved also how you could talk from experience about the school district and your own childrens experience with them.

Kris, thanks it was fun to do.

Missy - As usual great content and layout. I like the fact that you sent the mortgage information and encouraged the buyer to make contact, as well as the fact that you gave the assurance of good customer service.

Jennifer, thanks for the comment and picking up on good customer service.

Missy,

Good luck with your submission...looks good!

Neal with a A, thank you very much !

Missy, well done! I particularly like the tone of your letter...it conveys warmth and professionalism with a friendly, welcoming feel. Good luck!

Diane. I appreciate that, it is how I try to be as my clients become my friends so I like to start out with that in mind.

Missy, Great information about the area, makes me want to move there too.

Gary, come on ! I think I pulled all my posts on Saline up when I linked to them in blog posts ?

Missy, You haven't left anything out. This is a great post. 10:00 @ the Marriot? Okay I'll be there!!!:)

Mana, I wish you would be there. We would have a ball ! Someday.

Missy,

Great details about Saline. You sound very friendly and knowledgeable of the area - hopefully you can use this with some real buyers soon!

Rita, thanks and I hope so too. I think I will try to do a template of this.

Great challenge post Missy!! I gave it a 5!!

Missy this is great. I am gonna have to try to do one myself. Still trying to make my blogs more presentable like this.

Jeannette, you're doing great, I just entered my first contest with the Real Scoop by Chris Griffin, it was fun so I am trying another one.

Very nice work Missy, this contest is filling up with great entries.

John, most of my new clients, not those referred do find my through the internet. The rest are referred. Thanks !

Missy,

Nice post for this contest - Short sweet,pertinent and to the point! Will eliminate the nessecity having to show more houses.

Debbie, thanks and I wish buyers would only look at 3 houses, most of mine look at 10 on average. But, that's not too bad.

Missy great post with loads of good information for the home buyers in Saline MI. I love your selection of homes.

Thanks Ashley, I loved your post on ABQ too.

Hi Missy - what beautiful properties, I like the last on the best and the school and chamber of commerce info. what a good addition. Good Luck with the contest!
