how to sell your home: Oakland County home selling tips - closing delays - 10/29/20 07:01 AM
Let me tell you real estate transactions are not always smooth.   Whether it is an Oakland County Lake home or a Wayne County colonial some real estate transactions can sometimes be trying.  The majorit of real estate transactions do go as planned.  But there are many little things that can go sideways.  It's not like the buyer, home inspector,  appraiser, or the mortgage lender are trying to sabotage the deal.  That is one of the biggest misconceptions that sellers make.  They automatically assume the buyer or somebody is trying to kill the deal.  That is so untrue.  As an agent I … (1 comments)

how to sell your home: Real Estate photos lie - home selling tips - 04/10/17 01:15 PM
Yes Real estate photos lie.  Real estate agents take pictures of the best parts of the house.  The only time pictures do not lie is when the house is absolutley beautiful.  Then a real estate agent will take pictures of the whole house.
 
Now let me tell you why real estate photos lie.  As a selling agent our goal is to get buyers into a house.  As everybody knows the more people that know about a product the more likely you will have a sale.  So our goal as your realtor is to make your home appear in the best possible light.  … (1 comments)

how to sell your home: Should I offer a bonus to sell my home? - 03/15/17 08:06 AM
Does it work?  Should I offer a bonus to sell my home?  Everybody wants to sell their home for top dollar and to sell their home quickly.  So would a small bonus to a real estate agent entice them to sell your home for you quicker.  Or would offering a bonus to the home buyer work better.  Let's talk about these questions in depth.
First of all a buyers agent owes his loyalty to their buyer.  They are supposed to be working in the best interest of the buyer.  So offering a bonus to a buyers agent really doesn't sway them to buy … (46 comments)

how to sell your home: 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)

how to sell your home: Are they really doing it for you? Novi home seller tips - 10/30/12 10:17 PM
We have a local realtor that has radio commercials that say they spend more money on marketing than anybody else.  I totally agree with them.  But they are implying that a seller should go with them because they spend more money on marketing than anybody else. 
Well the problem is that they are marketing THEMSELVES to get listings.  THEY AREN'T SPENDING THAT MONEY ON YOUR HOME'S MARKETING.  That is what it is all about, marketing your home!  Marketing your Novi home is one of the most important facets of selling and closing on it.  So how much money and time will your … (1 comments)

how to sell your home: Does it make sense to do a short sale if.... - 05/18/10 02:52 PM
When does it make sense to do a short sale if the bank isn't cooperating?  What I mean by that is the bank being stubborn on the price.  Is the bank refusing to do the sale unless you sign a deficiency?
Let me explain this a little bit.  When you sell your Metro Detroit home via a short sale there is two choices for the bank to make.  They can forgive the deficiency and give you a letter releasing you from any liability from the deficiency.  Or they can refuse to give you a letter.
If the bank refuses to release … (0 comments)
