Testimonials
"Mike Bowler listed our house on January 25th. He applied much enthusiasm, expertise, & diligience in making sure the listing was placed out in the market. It was in the local real estate magazine, Coldwell Banker's website, & various other national real estate websites. A virtual tour along with an explicit description of the house was wonderfully done. We had numerous showings right away & within 3 weeks had a firm offer and we closed on April 1st. During these rough times it was a miracle that the house sold that quickly and we had a lot of questions as to how that had occurred by neighbors, friends & family. All I can say is just watch Mike in action! He has had numerous years in the business and knows what to do when the market is down. You can rely on him to do a great job!"

""I enlisted the Realtor services of Mike to sell my grandmother's home in a bedroom community outside Lansing. Mike instantly took action and was up on the market. The property got instant action/traffice due to his superior maketing efforts and networking. He made the whole transaction easy to understand and I felt comfortable with him at the wheel. If buying or selling a home again, I will make Mike Bowler my first call!"

Mike Bowler…'s Answers (28)
Mike Bowler Sr. answered:
Joan, you need to contact the office and talk to the manager/Broker. Tell them that you expect more promt response, or a different agent who will act timely. Make part of your buyer agency agreement in the future tied to prompt communication and service. Best to you and your future. Mike
A Real estate person normally would not be part of the land contract. The land contract is between the buyer and the seller. More than likely the agent has an agreement with the seller, who will pay him/her a commission for bringing a buyer. I would need more detailed information to answer this in more detail. Thanks, Mike
Mike Bowler Sr. answered:
1700 block of Haslett Road based on the map. No record in MLS yet. However, once you check out the property, a Realtor can get you into it.
Mike Bowler Sr. answered:
Once the transaction closes, it's a matter of public record. You can go to the county court house to have the last deed pulled. Prior to closing it would only be hear say.
Mike Bowler Sr. answered:
Hi, the rates are 6-7% depending on down payment, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 40 years and price of the home. There are still many ways to finace a home, If you want additional information, I can provide you with 2-3 different local originators to help you. Best to you in your financing. If you are interested in previewing homes you can visit my site below.
Mike Bowler Sr. answered:
If it is in a park, the office would have one on file. Otherwise you would have to contact the state, and would have to have the registration number. You may want to start with the landlord. Best of luck. Mike
