I went into a home yesterday and for the first time in 9 years I saw an old furnace.  It was the type of 1950's furnace that had individual heat ducts running out of it.  I call it an elephant furnace.  Wrapped around the ducts is the old asbestos insulation.The picture is sideways,but all the white is asbestos insulation. I call this an elephant furnace as there are many trunks to the furnace.  Here is some basic information on asbestos.Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral substance that can be pulled into a fluffy consistency. Asbestos fibers are soft and flexible yet resistant to heat, electricity and chemical corrosion. Pure asbestos is an effective insulator, and it can also be mixed into cloth, paper, cement, plastic and other materials to make them stronger. These qualities ... 04/03/2019

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 you from the liability, you are possibly responsible for the deficiency.  Then it may be smart NOT TO DO A SHORT SALE.  Now this is just my opinion.  Why would you go through the whole hassle of doing a short sale if the bank can come back after you for the deficiency?  The only... 05/18/2010

I read Bill Cherry's blog about THE WHITE LIE -- EXACTLY WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE FROM A REGULAR LIE? As real estate agents it happens all the time.  People do want free values.  I had somebody ask for it on my website two days ago.  I looked up the house and found out they had just bought the foreclosure.  I'm sure they just wanted to affirm that they got a "deal".  What they didn't realize is that it takes time to do a CMA, and to get a good true value. But the one that gets me more is when clients use multiple real estate agents and we don't know about it.  I am busy enough in life without competing unknowingly.  I myself would rather spend time with my family.  I would rather spend time with a client that is working exclusively with me.  I don't go and tell another client about a great... 03/10/2010

 Here are all the homes that have sold in Redford Michigan in the last year.  We have broken them down into price rances.  Out of the 1033 sold listings over 800 of them have sold under $50,000.  Redford is one of Detroit fringe cities.  I would call Redford a blue collar town.  Redford is one of America's working towns. Last year over all the average time on the market was 89 days.  Now in the last 30 days it is only 67 days.  Homes are moving a little faster.  But there are still quite a few deals out there so get out there and start looking. Redford Real Estate Listings Range Name Price Range Number of Listings Days on Market           10000 to 20000 222 74   20001 to 30000 251 75   30001 to 40000 202 65   40001 to 50000 140 87   50001 to 60000 106 97   60001 to 70000 93 108   70001 ... 02/07/2010

 Today I was reading on MSN.com.  I read Cities where homes have lost the most value.  In the article it said the Metro Detroit area has lost 31% of it's value.  If you look at the Detroit Metro real estate market as a circle with Detroit as the center, then the next ring of cities, and then the more upscale cities. The more upscale cities like West Bloomfield, Canton Township, Northville, Rochester have lost 31% of their value.  But you start moving into the inner circle of many of the middle class cities like Dearborn, Redford, Southfield.  Those cities had some homes that their high prices in 2003 from $100-$140,000.  Now they are ranging from $50,000 to $70,000.  I would say the average loss in those cities about 50% But the City of Detroit real estate pricesin my opinion have taken... 01/05/2010

I am writing this because I know some people that are selling their home to their son.  I feel badly for the son.  They are selling their Redford Twp home to the son for about $85,000.   The son has no real estate representation.  He trusts his parents.  The parents want to move to a nicer area, they want to move out of Redford.  They don't like Redford Township very much any more. The sad part is that the Redford Twp homeis probably only worth about $38,000.  They got an appraisal for $85,000 and it may pass through the banks system but sadly the son could buy a nicer house for the same money.  He could get a brick house instead a vinyl house.  He could buy another Redford Township house for sale that is updated completely for roughly the same price.  He could get a Redford Twp Homewit... 02/10/2009

  When buying a Michigan home for sale here are some items you should look at and remember.  Just because you love the house these items may have an impact when you sell.  If you are selling your Michigan home if you can hide or minimize these items it will help you sell your house.  It doesn't matter if it is Redford real estate or Northville real estate all these factors determine how long your home sits on the market.  1. Lack of Yard If a home has much less yard area than others in the neighborhood, buyers tend to eliminate this choice. A steep slope may make the grounds difficult to use and maintain. Yards that have been terraced or landscaped may be exceptions. Compare your property to the yards offered by competing homes. 2. Steep DrivewayIn Michigan people think about how they a... 06/07/2008

Why are the mortgage rates not coming down when the fed cuts the rates?  The reason mortgage rates are not coming down as much as the fed cuts the rates is that buyers of mortgages are nervous.When you do a mortgage it is bundled up with other mortgages and sold to investors.  Sometimes it is Wall Street, sometimes it is foreign investors, sometimes it is other banks.  With all the foreclosures many of these bundles have lost money.  So investors are fearful of buying mortgages.  Less demand, the less they are willing to pay for them. That is why mortgage interest rates are not dropping fast. It is hard right now for banks and lenders to unload the bundled mortgages.  Mortgage interest rates have dipped several times below six percent because of market conditions for as short as a day a... 03/19/2008
