Is this you? Youβre in the right place.
If youβre ready to escape Chicago and find the right Michigan lake home getaway for your family, hereβs where to start:
01. Hire a real estate agent π
Weβll sit down to talk (we can text too) about your goals, desires and timeline.
Once I understand more about you and your family, Iβll get to work making suggestions for the Michigan lake communities and set up a search for you.
Iβll also work my local connections to find lakefront properties in Southwest Michigan that may not be on the market yet.
02. Connect with a lender.
I recommend shopping a few local lenders to see who might be the best fit for you and provide a mortgage with the best rates.
Itβs important to start the conversation and pre-approval process ASAP so you can have a solid understanding of what you can realistically afford. Itβll save you a lot of time and potential disappointment!
If youβre a Chicago family looking for a Michigan lake home and are ready to start the process, simply DM me to set up a time to talk.
