Today is the last day for Farmington Founders Festival located in downtown Farmington MI.  It is located right on Grand River and Farmington Rd. They have fine art booths located at the Masonic Temple right on Grand River.                                                      There were about 50 tents of crafters and home items booths.                          They had a great area for the kids to enjoy.   A climbing wall, face painting, bouncy toys.  A kids paradise.  but no Carnival rides.                                                                                                               My wife and I clowned around and stuck our heads into the cutouts                  There were live musicans and a beer tent in the parking lot down from Dagwoods Deli.                        ...

Whenever a home buyer puts in an offer the worst part is yet to come.  The waiting, the uncertainty is so rough.  Everything goes through your mind. What is taking so long? Did I bid too low? Did I bid too high? What is the seller thinking? Are they going to accept our offer? Should I have put more down? Does it normally take so long? What is taking so long? What is taking so long? My advice I too keep busy.  Visit friends, go to a local festival, see a movie, take the kids out.  Enjoy yourself.  But keep your cell phone handy so your agent can get a hold of you.  Nothing is more frustrating to an agent than getting an answer and then not being able to get ahold of our client for a day.

I recently closed on a Farmington Hills home for one of my clients last month.  My client wanted a newer home less than 15 years old.  And he wanted it in good condition.  He was a business professional who spent a lot of time traveling.  And he wanted the Farmington home under $175,000.  He wanted in a certain school area.  And he wanted a deal. The problem is there is a limited number of homes that fit that criteria.  In fact in the last 6 monthes there were only 6 homes that fit that criteria without the school system.  None when you included the school system criteria.  And only one newer Farmington home that he really liked.  It was a great price as most of them that fit his criteria were much more expensive. He was being coached by his brother and his mother to put in a low ball o...

The first question I want to ask you is:  How bad do you want this Michigan home?  Do you have to have it?  Or is it a Metro Detroit foreclosure that you are just trying to low ball. Remember when you low ball Michigan homes for sale you will get rejected more times than getting accepted.  If you don't have to have the house, have the time, and your real estate agent doesn't mind taking you out more then you have to decide for yourself how low you want to go.  I have heard stories from people where they "supposedly got $100,000 off on a $250,000 Michigan home."  But when I checked the story out on public records and the Michigan MLS I found that it wasn't true.  Many people are still clinging to what the house was worth 2 or 3 years ago.  That doesn't matter at all.  It doesn't mean a t...

I have become a big advocate of being conscious of being a better person.  I was once a wild child.  Raised by very dominant and strict parents.  It was their way or no way at all.  When you are young you can blame it on that you didn't know better or you didn't think about it.  But after 30 or 35 their is no excuse for how you interact with the world.  What you do, what you say, what you do for others is your legacy.  You can be the grumpy old man or that nasty old woman that always complains.  I once read that how you act now is what you grow up to be.  So when you  start complaining about the service in a restaurant or how your hotel room wasn't exactly right... step back.  The servers, the maids are people too.  They may have had a bad day, the kitchen may be slow.  It isn't their f...
