Subject: Our Keys!!

I just wanted to let you know, we got the keys. He was able to pick them up no problem. WOOO-HOOO!!  There was/is one thing, though. When we first got there, on the counter was a champagne flute. Inside the flute, was a letter from the seller, Elaine. It made me cry. Gave us a little info on he life, and her moms. How she (her mom) lived there till she was 87, and Elaine and her siblings grew up there. And how the house was full of love, and joy just waiting to make us happy. It was really sweet. I don't know if you can pass on to them, that i really appreciate it A LOT!
 
All i can say to you is i am forever grateful. You really made my dream of being a homeowner, realty. You have been wonderful to work with, and really helped out, even in the bad times... lol. You are a awesome realtor, and would recommend anybody to go through you. Woody and Jessica are also awesome. Definitely will recommend both you and them to go through. Thank You thank you thank you!!!!!!!

An interesting story...

My current client had spoke with a few real estate agents in our area.  All the real estate agents told the homeowner he needs an appraiser to price the home for listing because of the declining market.  The homeowner had 2 appraisals that came in about $30,000 less than we expected...

I now have a client for life.
        I let the homeowner talk for about a 1/2 hour or 45 minutes.  I realized this person knew he had an an energy efficient / green home and didn't know how to word it.

We toured the "WOW" home.  At the end of the tour we sat down to talk.  He asked me what I thought about the appraisals he received.  I explained, "the appraisals that you have are useless."  He looked at me with a huge question mark.

I was able to explain that he needed a HERS (Home Energy Rating Score) by a RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network) person before the appraisals.   The RESNET person will put in the report the score of the home and the "value added" because of the rating and home energy savings.  I also added information about special loans for buyers that may purchase his home.

    He trusted my advice.  He called, energy auditors, LLC.  David Nash took his equipment to the home and preformed the test.  This home was proven to be an energy efficient home.  While at the Michigan Realtor Conference the client called me totally excited about his progress.

   The report will given to an appraiser for an accurate "opinion of value".

To be continued...

Have a special "Green or Energy Efficient Client" in Michigan.  I love referrals...
