Testimonials
"Todd is a great guy and did an amazing job as my buyer's agent. He read my needs and adjusted his strategies accordingly. He was incredibly easy going, highly punctual and very organized. It was great working with someone who holds himself and his service to such a high standard. It was awesome working with him, and I can't wait to buy another house because of that. He made the house buying process a lot of fun. I highly recommend using him!"

Well, as an agent that sells in Superior Township and SE Michigan, I would point you to the Superior Township municipal website. It is a great jumping off point for more information about the township (http://www.superior-twp.org/).
From there I would also suggest checking out the Washtenaw County website (http://www.ewashtenaw.org/) for more area information.

Maria,
If we are discussing sellers that are current clients, a simple 'time of sale' appraisal would go miles to proving the market's point of your client's value proposition. I would also suggest, but it's likely redundant, sharing any feedback you are receiving from prospective buyers.
If you are interviewing prospective selling clients, then yes, the truth, with an analogy or two will go a long way. My favorite analogy so far, is to liken the current market in Washtenaw County to playing soccer on the top of a hill. When the ball is kicked out of bounds and begins to roll down the hill, which is the easier way to catch that ball: Running up behind it or getting in front of the ball and letting it whack me in the shins?
With the market declining, it is best to stay in front of it, as opposed to chasing it into the river.

In any market, but specifically in this current challenging market, I have found that buyers and seller alike have really valued hard facts about the market. Regardless of what a seller wants to hear, I have found that sellers value the honest truth about the market. If you can grab a hold of relevant stats and figures about the market for a seller's specific property, you will also be able to advise buyers very well too.
As an example, my team subscribes to Big House Data's monthly stats and quarterly inventory packages for Washtenaw County.

Best of luck! You appear to be heading in the right direction, if your question is any indication.

The folks currently buying in today's market are those that:
a) need to buy due to a relocation, change in life style, etc;
b) want to buy because they see an opportunity.
As for how long it is taking to sell a home/condo, check out my Team's blog for inventory statistics. Depending upon the area you are in and the price point your home is at, determines the number of months it will take an average home to sell. Specifically check out the 2nd Quarter Inventory Reports as they are the most recent.

As an agent in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I can attest that yes, you will need a RE license to do a Broker's Price Opinion (BPO). You can also do BPO's if you hold a RE broker license or an appraiser's license.
