   Are you getting ready to sell your West Bloomfield home?  Here is a home selling tip to help alleviate lots of problems down the road.  Do you want the antique chandelier that came from your mother’s house?   Do you want some of the plants in the garden that your kids gave you?  Or that special rock you picked up on vacation? The key to having issues with buyers down the road is to remove the items prior to putting it on sale.  Put the rock in the garage.  Dig up the plants and put them in pots.  Get a different chandelier and replace the antique one before you put the house on sale.   Sure you can let the prospective buyers know that you are taking all the items when listing the home.  But that doesn’t stop some buyers from asking for them.  They may not read that in the listing tic...

West Bloomfield MI Short Sale, Escape Your Unmanageable Mortgage: Getting free doesn’t have to mean running away. Mike Sher, Cetrfied Distressed Property Expert, Max Broock, (248) 496-1472 Perhaps you have heard about it. On the news, a reporter tells a story about how the housing crisis has caused some homeowners to simply walk away from their homes. It sounds crazy, but many people are being led to believe that walking away from their home is a good (or even the best!) option. It is called Strategic Default. For distressed homeowners who believe that they have no good choices left, the idea of walking away free of consequence may sound like a relief. The reality, however, is that choosing strategic default has serious repercussions on your credit. THERE ARE BETTER OPTIONS AVAILABLE! ...

Yes I know we all do stupid things at one time or another, but I am going to tell you a story of how to be a stupid loan officer.  This is about explaining things to your client.  Do you explain things as they benefit the client or how they benefit your company?   ? I got a call from my loan officer who I trust and respect and have used for several years.  Over the last month I noticed some changes in his companies procedures.  He called me about my nieces loan.  Now this loan had a pre-approval from another company and I had asked him if he could do it.  He took it to an underwriter or his boss (the CEO) of the company to have them check it out.  He said they could do the loan so my niece's husband to the loan to him.  I went to him because he was trustworthy. Well yesterday on this ca...

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 for a few minutes before I said "THEY ARE STILL THERE BECAUSE THEY REALLY LIKE THE HOUSE AND THEY  PROBABLY HAVE A STRONG INTEREST IN BUYING THE HOUSE". My client was speechless.  He said I never thought of that.  He said I was thinking about me.  He apologized to me about going ...

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 the majority of the lake front homes have been re-modeled or new luxury homes with modern ammenities have been built. There are some homes over 6000 square feet on the lake.  So I would call this more of an upscale lake. ...

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 second time. This is your chance to really look the houses over and see if you fit in the home.   Try to be as objective as possible.   Remember it is okay to “fall in love” with just one home.  That’s when you really know you it is your house. But by going through your t...

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 up your valuables, jewelry, and money. Put away important papers and bills.    Although a real estate agent will be on site during the showing, it is impossible for the agent to watch everyone all the time.  Theft doesn’t occur often, but let’s...

Hammond Lake homes (Oakland County, Michigan) were mostly built in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.  Houses on the lake start as small as 1600 square feet.  But there is a ranch home that is 3100 square feet, 5 bedrooms,  3.1 baths, and 2 car garage.  There also is a large contemporary home that is about 5300 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 3.1 bathrooms, and 4 car garage.  I would say most of the real estate on the lake average between the 2000-3000 square foot range.   Hammond Lake is a non motorized lake. On the north side of the lake some of the homes are on the other side of the road.  There is some grass area by the lake.  Some of that area is covered with large old trees providing shade.  But you have to cross the road to get to the lake. If you are looking at Hammond Lake waterfront  h...

Union Lake waterfront properties are located in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Union Lake is what I would consider more of a upper end lake. You are going to find homes that are taken care of, bigger, and newer. You won't find many of the old cottages on the lake. I would say the average home is going to be over 1800 square foot on the lake.   Colonial home sizes range from 1400 square foot to over 7200 square foot. There are contemporary homes that range from 2500 square feet to 7888 square feet. Even some of the ranches are big. I found one small ranch at 810 square feet but the biggest one was 4200 square feet!   Union Lake waterfront property sizes range from 45 feet to 3/4 of an acre. Union Lake homes and properties will be a little pricer than homes say on Cooley Lake or Long Lake rig...
