Thank you to all of our great clients who made 2008 our best year in real estate!

Today's South East Michigan real estate market is like no other we've seen. We've worked on developing strategies for our clients to get the best possible results, whether they are buying or selling.

Local Realtors have called us the "Most Tech Savvy Realtors" in the Southeast Michigan market. We don't know if that is true or not, but we do know that the tools we have implemented give our clients a leg up over their competition. Metro Detroit home sellers we represent have better exposure to a broader array of qualified buyers. The buyers we assist are armed with information and our skilled guidance to help them make the best choices in a new home.

It's not all about the technology either. Most home buyers and sellers find they really need expert advice, information and advocacy. That is what we are here to provide.

Sellers, we have one of the most innovative marketing programs you will find. Our results speak for themselves. In 2008, the majority of our listings were sold in two months or less. Among other things, we can "feature" your home on Trulia, so it will come up higher in search results. But that is only a small portion of our comprehensive marketing strategy which is focused on getting your home the attention it needs from qualified buyers and their agents.

Dmitry and I work with Cartus, that nation's largest relocation company, and are frequently helping people moving for a first time to Metro Detroit. Our company is a preferred broker in the Cartus network, and we also help many sellers transition to new destinations. Dmitry is a transplant himself. He was born in Ukraine, where we met, so he is well acquainted with relocating to the area. I was born and raised in Birmingham, and we chose to return here to raise our family.

In today's Metro Detroit real estate market, you can come out ahead, whether you are buying or selling, if you have good representation.

If you are in need of real estate marketing services or buyer representation, please call us at 248.430.4450. ... show more

Asked Thu Nov 5 2009, 18:24 by Diane - Home Buying in Morrice - 2 answers

Maureen Francis, Birmingham MI answered:

Find out who the bank is. They might consider an offer before it is listed. A local Realtor can probably assist you with this.

The house could be tied up with legal issues. That might be one reason it is not listed yet. - Thu Nov 5 2009, 18:35
