New Lockbox System at Ann Arbor Area Board of REALTORS

This week the Ann Arbor Board of REALTORS started using a new
electronic lockbox system.

It looks like it will be quite an improvement over the old infrared
system.

A Thorough Home Inspector

One thing that often separates real buyer agents from the pretend
buyer agents / designated buyer agents is the type of inspectors they
recommend.

For most buyers we recommend at least medium grade inspectors but
often the real thorough guys.

This photo is of a thorough inspector who has filled the tub to check
the overflow and is standing on the tub rim to check for settling &
wood rot on this -150 year old home.

Most inspectors don't do this. Because most inspectors focus on making
real estate agents happy.

Phoenix Station Reprints Interview With Our Broker On "Lying Listings"

A senior writer for Bankrate.com (Jay MacDonald)interviewed our company President Jon Boyd some months ago for an piece he had been working on regarding real estate language.

Specifically, the topic was stuff listing real estate people will say about their listings to try to catch the attention of home buying consumers. Hint: The positive features are often exagerated.

These phrases were collected from our National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents and the are completely authentic.

Here is what you want to consider:

If a real estate agent customarily directs expressions like these to buyers, why would you ever want somebody like at being your buyer's agent or designated buyer's agent?

Just a idea to mull over as you search for South Lyon real estate.
