Before the internet, and even before there were Realtors, real estate was typically sold via the auction method. Why? Because it assured land owners and farmers that every interested buyer would be focused on their property at the same time, providing an equal opportunity for them to view and bid to eventually determine the property’s […]
Imagine hiring an attorney to file a lawsuit only to find out in court that she’s representing the other side, too. When the shock wears off, you think back to all of those pre-trial meetings where you thought you were telling your lawyer things in confidence. And how likely it is that the attorney passed […]

The other day I had the unfortunate opportunity to show a home to one of our seller clients that seemed, on paper, to be an ideal fit for their needs. It was one of several we were scheduled to see that day, and unlike the others, for this listing there was no lockbox…meaning we had […]
It’s been about a month now since we opened our doors to the public, and I’m honestly amazed at the reception in the marketplace for our auction-style home selling process. What’s even more incredible is that I’ve spoken to several agents in town who want to refer their sellers to us; sellers that have had […]
Growing up, I always expected to be in the fun food business. My dad owned Detroit Popcorn Company, and I started “working” there when I was five, sitting behind the desk in his office, watching cartoons on Saturday mornings.
