🏡 Helping Oakland County homeowners buy and sell with confidence through honest communication and local expertise. Let's talk!

By the second week of December, showing requests in most neighborhoods fall off a cliff.

Which leaves roughly six weeks to get a house listed, seen, and under contract before the calendar makes the decision for you, and six weeks is genuinely enough if you begin now rather than after Thanksgiving.

Ask me for a free copy of my book and we can work out whether it is realistic for your place.

Is Birmingham Worth the Price?

Walkable downtown, restaurants, local shops, and plenty to do nearby are a big part of Birmingham’s appeal. 🏡

The question is whether that lifestyle is worth the premium to you.

Birmingham: worth it or overpriced?

People assume downsizing is mostly a question of square footage.

It tends to be a question of which version of your life you want to be living in three years, and the square footage falls out of that answer rather than driving it.

The practical part is that sorting through forty years of belongings takes far longer than anyone plans for, which is why starting in October rather than January is the difference between choosing carefully and having someone haul it all away.

Line the sale and the purchase up together if you can manage it.

Two to five percent of the purchase price is the range most buyers should be setting aside for closing.

That covers the lender's fees, title and escrow, and the taxes and insurance collected in advance, and the part people miss is that it sits on top of your down payment rather than coming out of it.

Ask your lender for an estimate early, and ask me for a free copy of my buyer guide.

Your five o'clock showing in October is happening in the dark.

Walk through the house at that hour some evening this week with every lamp you own switched on, and pay attention to which rooms still feel like caves, because those are the ones quietly costing you offers.

My free book covers the rest of the staging, so ask me for a copy.

Buying in Birmingham Before the Year Ends? Check These 3 Things

It’s October, and if Birmingham is on your list before the year ends, look beyond the asking price.

Your future property taxes, the condition of the major systems, and how much the location matters to you can all affect whether the premium makes sense. 🏡

BIRMINGHAM: WORTH THE PREMIUM? 👇

Almost every move begins with the same knot, which is whether to sell first or buy first.

Selling first means you walk into the next negotiation knowing your exact number, which is a real advantage, though you may need somewhere to live for a stretch in between.

Buying first means one move rather than two, and a great deal more pressure on the timing of everything.

There are ways to bridge the gap, and which one suits you depends far more on your savings than on your preferences.

I keep free copies of my book on hand for this exact conversation.

A buyer's agent is, in most transactions, paid out of the seller's side of the deal.

Which means the person reading your contract line by line, telling you which inspection findings are serious and which are just a house being a house, and arguing your corner when the appraisal comes in low, is generally not costing you anything directly.

Free copy of my buyer guide is yours if you want one.
