I just closed the sale on this cottage home in Fennville, Michigan! 🏡

This one took a little extra work to get across the finish line.

An unexpected title issue led to a new survey, revised legal descriptions, a boundary line adjustment, a new driveway easement, and coordination among the sellers, neighbors, township, county, attorney, surveyor and title company.

We worked through each issue, kept the transaction moving, and made it to the closing table.

Congratulations to my seller—and to the buyers who now get to bring this little cottage near Lake Michigan back to life!

Getting a property under contract is one thing. Getting it closed is another. That’s where experience matters.

As a real estate broker, I always warn clients about wire fraud. Yesterday, I saw just how real it can be.

We were scheduled to close on one of my listings when the buyers discovered they had wired their closing funds using fraudulent instructions sent in what appeared to be a legitimate email.

Thankfully, the bank recognized suspicious activity, froze the funds before they could be withdrawn, and the money is being returned. We'll be able to close on Monday.

This could have ended very differently.

Please remember: Never send closing funds based on emailed changes to wire instructions. Always verify wiring information by calling your title company or attorney using a trusted phone number.

A two-minute phone call can prevent a devastating financial loss.
If you're buying or selling a home, I'm always happy to answer questions and help you navigate the process safely.
