Its summertime in Northern Michigan and it looks like a hot one. Although the new normal is predicted to be fewer listings and lower inventory in 2023, we expect the market will also be without the kind of intense demand that was fueling the market during 2020 through 2022 due to mortgage rate increases and employers backing off on remote workers. The big question for 2023 is whether it's the right time to buy for you. That's why it's' important to contact Real Estate Lawyers, who are real estate brokers and lawyers, who can guide you to writing a winning offer while keeping you within your financial comfort zone. We have unique ideas on how to write a winning offer. But first, we need to know what you're looking for so we can get a jump start when new listings appear on the MLS that match your likes and needs. Do your research as to where you would like to be and then contact us. Use Zillow, Realtors .com or other online real estate databases to get an idea of prices in your area. However, if you see something you like or have questions on a property, please contact us first, not the Realtor whose sign is on the property as they represent the Seller. 

Be it your primary home or secondary/cottage/northern retreat, we can help you find it and get title to it.  We know the market and how to move swiftly, yet safely, in this fast-paced market. Although our fees are commission based, like all Realtors, as Real Estate Lawyers we review all the documents prior to closing and inform our client accordingly so they know what they are getting prior to close. If there are problems, we help fix them, if additional terms are needed, we write the terms. These are major investments, so do it right and hire a Real Estate Lawyer/Broker from REL to represent you in your purchase. We charge the same as a Realtor on listed properties with no hourly legal fees. Unlike a Realtor though, as Lawyers, we can provide legal advice, draft contracts and interpret legal terms and contracts. As Real Estate Brokers, we can schedule a showing of any listed property.

REL is a member of both Northern Great Lakes Realtors MLS and Great Lakes Bay Region Board of Realtors and can provide listings for properties from Saginaw - North. With an office in Elk Rapids, Michigan we have great insight as to price and location. Call us (231) 498-2171 or email us at   This email address is being protected from spambots.
