Local Buyer's Agent gets Green Certification

I recently received my "Green Certification" for helping home buyers.

We helped a family buy a very nice home on the North side of Chelsea this summer and it had a tankless water heater. These are sometimes a good product, but they are not always what they are promoted to be.

The water heaters were a specific discussion topic during the certification training because they are heavily promoted as being more economical way to heat water.

There is more to it than that.

Call us if you are interested in home buying with specific insight into environmentally friendly living.

Chelsea Michigan October Weather

Tonight in Southeastern Michigan the temperature is about 56 degrees at 11:21 and the low will be about 46 degrees.

A rainy, ugly day in Michigan.

Pre-Notarized documents?

We helped a buyer purchase a home in Chelsea a few years ago when we ran across a very odd event. The title company had sent the documents to another state for the seller to sign, and they had witnessed the signature even though the seller was a few states away.

Bad idea.

Today I found out that we weren't the only broker that had seen this kind of problem. Ralph Roberts wrote a full article on it linked above.

A bad habit to watche out for when you are buying a Chelsea home, or any home for that matter.

Loan officer from ABN Ambro in Ann Arbor pleads guilty

Interesting article linked above from the Columbus Dispatch about Kenyatta Johnson who worked for ABN Ambro here in Ann Arbor. (ABN was locally Standard Federal Bank, Lasalle Bank or now Bank of America.)

Johnson is the seventh of about nine defendants who are charged in connection to a $25 million mortgage scam that affected over 200 Ohio area home buyers.

If you scan to the bottom of the article you will see a defendant in the case with my same name, Jonathan Boyd.

Don't worry. He is in Columbus, and I've never been a loan officer or scammed any lenders or home buyers!
