  🏡 Oakland County Michigan | Agent Perspective What Really Happens on Closing Day in Oakland County (And Why Most Delays Are Preventable) Signing your name is not the same thing as owning the home. Here is what actually happens between the signature and the keys. 700+ Closings Guided 24 Years Experience 3-Day TRID Review Window 📋 TL;DR Signing and closing are two different legal moments — ownership only transfers once the lender funds the loan and the deed records with Oakland County. Most closing day delays trace back to something ordinary that was not confirmed early enough, and wire fraud remains the single biggest financial risk in the entire process. A document review three to five days out, and a walk-through 24 to 48 hours before signing, prevents almost every problem I see. I ... 07/13/2026

IntroductionA property may offer several acres, but not every acre will be equally useful. Buyers should look beyond the total acreage and consider how the land can actually be accessed, maintained, and enjoyed.1. Study the Topography Flat, rolling, or steep terrain Areas suitable for building Slopes that may be difficult to mow or maintain Natural drainage paths Whether elevation improves views or limits access 2. Look at Access Road frontage Existing driveway location Easements or shared access Ability to reach the back of the property Access for construction and service vehicles 3. Identify Open and Wooded Areas Pasture or cleared land Mature woods Brush and overgrowth Areas suitable for gardens, animals, or recreation Cost of clearing additional land 4.

There's a parcel, just under 1.5 acres, I drive past on my way to our Thompson Company office. It's been listed for a long time (not with me!) and every so often, we get calls about it. The questions are always the same: Why hasn't it sold? What's wrong with it? In this case, the answer comes down to two specific issues: septic feasibility and Special Protection Area restrictions. 1. No Perc Approval on RecordFor any property without public sewer, a successful perc test is step one. In Montgomery County, perc tests can only be performed during the wet season, when the ground is no longer frozen solid but groundwater levels are highest (typically Feb. 1st through April 15th). If a lot doesn't have a passing perc on record, buyers may face uncertainty from the start. They'll either have t... 06/25/2026

Is Your Land Buildable? The Answer Could Add Thousands to Its ValueOne of the most common questions I hear from vacant land owners is:"How much is my land worth?"My answer is usually another question:"Is it buildable?"That single answer can make a tremendous difference in value.In fact, two parcels that appear almost identical on paper can have dramatically different market values based on one factor alone: whether a buyer can realistically build on the property.Why Buildability MattersWhen buyers purchase vacant land, they are usually purchasing potential.They may want to build a custom home, create a family retreat, hold the property as an investment, or develop it in the future.If the property offers a clear path to construction, buyer interest typically increases.If major obstacles ... 06/23/2026

What to Check Before You Buy Land in Clark County, Ohio Zoning, septic, CAUV, and floodplain — the four things that decide what you can actually do with a piece of ground. Talk to Douglas Haney & The Haney Group Published June 2026 · Updated June 2026 · By Douglas Haney & The Haney Group, Springfield, OH Quick Answer Before buying land in Clark County, Ohio, check four things: who controls zoning on the parcel (the county or a self-administering township), whether the Clark County Combined Health District has approved it for a septic system, whether it's enrolled in Current Agricultural Use Valuation (CAUV) and what converting it would cost, and whether any part of it sits in a mapped floodplain. Each one can determine what you're allowed to build. Buying a house and buying a piece of ... 06/22/2026

The First Three Things I Look At When Evaluating Vacant Land in Putnam CountyWhen I evaluate vacant land in Putnam County, I am not just looking at acreage. Two parcels that appear similar on paper can have very different value depending on what is possible on the land and how difficult it would be to develop.Here are the first three things I look at before I ever talk about price. 1. Zoning and BuildabilityThe first question is simple: What can legally be done with this property?I review the zoning district, minimum lot size requirements, setbacks, frontage rules, and permitted uses. In Putnam County, zoning varies significantly from town to town, so a parcel in Carmel may be treated very differently from one in Putnam Valley or Patterson.Then I look at buildability. Is there a realist... 06/15/2026

The Truth About Selling Raw Land: Why It’s Different Than Selling a HouseMany people assume that selling vacant land is easier than selling a house.After all, there's no kitchen to stage, no roof to inspect, and no furniture to move.In reality, selling raw land is often more complicated.The reason is simple: when buyers purchase a house, they can see exactly what they are getting. When buyers purchase land, they are buying possibilities.A home buyer walks through a property and immediately understands the bedrooms, bathrooms, layout, and condition. A land buyer sees a blank canvas and begins asking questions.Can I build here?What does the zoning allow?Will the property support a septic system?Are there wetlands?How much road frontage is there?Can the land be subdivided?What will it cost... 06/09/2026

How to Create Productive Food Plots That Benefit Deer, Turkeys, Pollinators, and MoreWisconsin landowners have long understood the value of habitat improvement. Whether your goal is better deer hunting, supporting wildlife diversity, or simply enjoying more activity on your property, food plots can play a major role in attracting and sustaining wildlife throughout the year.A well-designed food plot is much more than a patch of green planted in the woods. The best food plots are part of a larger habitat strategy that considers soil quality, seasonal nutrition, cover, water availability, and wildlife movement patterns. In Wisconsin’s diverse landscapes—from northern forests to central sands and southern agricultural regions—successful food plots require thoughtful planning and realistic e... 06/19/2026

Before purchasing raw land or a farm property in East Texas, you must verify the soil composition for septic suitability, check for active oil or gas lease easements, and confirm the status of your property’s mineral rights. Failing to test the clay-heavy soil or review utility access can add tens of thousands of dollars in unexpected infrastructure installation costs.Pro Tip: Always ask your realtor to confirm if the land holds an active Ag Exemption (Agricultural Appraisal). Keeping this exemption active via livestock or hay production can slash your annual property tax bill by up to 90%. Septic System Prep: Much of East Texas features red clay or sandy loam; an aerobic septic system is frequently required over traditional conventional lines. Water Sources: Determine if the tract hook... 06/05/2026
