Looking to buy a Michigan Home? Search all homes for sale

One of the questions I get asked is, “What is the benefit of a buyer consultation?” The simple answer is that it saves you time and gives you a competitive advantage because you’ll be educated about our local real estate market.

You can search all properties with general criteria on lots of websites on your own, but you’ll often find that the information is old, and sometimes the properties have sold already. At the buyer consultation, the agent can modify the search criteria using our systems so you find homes that work for you.

A major benefit of the buyer consultation is you will know if you are comfortable working with that agent. A good agent understands your goals, wants, and needs. They should be able to assess your situation, offer solutions, and customize programs to alleviate any potential stress for you.

Another benefit of the buyer consultation is that your questions can be answered up front, before you are too immersed in the process. This meeting ensures that your timelines and needs are heard. By listening, the agent may actually uncover the home you want before it hits the market, giving you a huge negotiating advantage.

Our team lists hundreds of homes, so you get VIP access by aligning with our top listing team. We are hired by sellers and we market bank-owned properties as well. Our agents can do some door-knocking, mailing, and put a request out on radio spots to find the Michigan home for you.

Inventory is low in our market, and an educational buyer consultation can give you an edge on the competition. During a buyer consultation, the agent can bring you up to speed with what the current market is doing. In certain areas, homes are selling within days. Your agent will discuss the strategies we use to negotiate on your behalf and to get your offer accepted in this competitive market. Being educated about the market you’re entering is crucial if you want a smooth and successful transaction.

Finally, if you work with us but are not 100% satisfied with your home purchase, our team will sell the home at no charge to you within the first 90 days of purchase. We are truly committed to seeing you totally satisfied.

If you have any questions about today’s video, or are interested in a buyer consultation, please give us a call. We would love to help you!

How Does Life Insurance Benefit Your Loved Ones?

Today, we discuss the ever-important topic of life insurance with expert Chris Monaghan of Farm Bureau Insurance! He brings his extensive experience to the table to help you get better acquainted with the importance of life insurance.

Life insurance is about how much time your surviving family members would need financial support should something happen to you. It provides financial security to replace lost income and pay off existing debts, such as mortgage loans, childcare, college expenses, and more. It’s one of the more expansive protections you can buy and is a key component in any proper financial planning.

Life insurance is important for homeowners because it can be used to secure a family’s home by making up for lost income or paying off an existing mortgage. This allows the family to continue to reside in the home they’ve grown up in. It can also provide financial support for simple tasks like upkeep, maintenance, and repairs. Not having to worry about financial issues will allow you to focus on the healing process.

For what it covers, life insurance really isn’t very expensive. A healthy 35-year old non-smoker could qualify for a $1 million life insurance policy for as little as $29 a month! Think about it: if you were to cut your daily Starbucks consumption in half, you would easily be able to afford life insurance. Furthermore, life insurance is tax-free money, which allows you to maximize what you’re able to leave to your loved ones, or even charitable organizations.

Life insurance is based on age and health. The older you get, the more expensive life insurance becomes. We recommend exploring all of your options early to lock in low rates and maximize the benefits.

If you want to talk to Chris about your insurance options, you can reach him at (734) 332-0599 or www.InsureDexter.com.

As always, if you need real estate help of any kind, don’t hesitate to give us a call or shoot us an email. We’re always available to help!
