A charming country home, perfect for a family. This home has something for everyone, and offers 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, a sun room, an eat-in country kitchen, and an enclosed breezeway between the house and the one-car garage. The current owners have made many improvements to the home including...

I recently started working with a new buyer. She is single, and wanted to look at a short sale since it was in her price range. We viewed the property, and discovered that it would need lots of work to get it into proper condition. By the time that she paid for the house, the new carpet, and all ...

The house was lovely! An older home that had an addition put on across the back at some point in time. The front of the house was loaded with character. The old doors, windows, and gorgeous woodwork were to die for. The addition across the back was more modern. Someone had added on a beautiful ki...

I had a listing that received many showings. It was a wonderful house, but it really didn't fit into its price range. At first, I was greatly encouraged by the number of showings that it was receiving. As time marched on with loads of activity, and no offers, I quickly figured out what was going ...

I hear it all of the time. Buyers do not want a house that requires too much work. Many want to be able to turn the key, and walk right in. What a wonderful feeling! It lasts for a period of months or years-until something finally goes wrong. Welcome to home ownership.   My husband and I had very...

A spacious brick ranch sits in Miami Township centrally located between Charles Seipelt Elementary, and Milford Jr. High and High School. It is also just minutes from I-275. Once the home of the man who built the homes on the street, this one stands out among the rest. This ranch is perhaps the ...

My husband and I looked at quite a few houses before we settled on the house that we currently own. During that process, we saw several that could have worked for us. They were nice enough, but some were a little too dark, or felt cramped, or just didn't seem right in some other way. When I walke...

Just when I think that I have seen it all, something new comes along. I have several clients who are interested in purchasing foreclosures. Yesterday, as I spoke with my buyers, the same property came up in two different conversations. A homeowner had taken a very unassuming home, and added an in...

I have an elephant's head on the side of one of my kitchen cabinets. I think that it is supposed to be a dish towel holder, but it is not just a little hook-it is a large elephant's head that takes up the width of the cabinet. It is brown, so it blends in with the cabinet, but we really should ha...

I noticed the house as it showed up for several of my buyers on auto-prospecting. There was one photo, and it made the house look like an absolute shack. To look at that photo, one would expect to see junky old cars sitting around, and maybe an old droopy clothesline hanging in the front yard. It...
