A New Year, and a Busy Market

It’s a new year, finally, and hopefully a better year than 2020 for most. The real estate market continues to be quite busy as buyers discover they can now work remotely, and where would be a better place than Northern Michigan? Although last year we helped many new families obtain their cottage or second home in Northern Michigan, we are currently in short supply of properties for sale. Hopefully in the spring we will have more listings.

Do your search through our Northern Michigan Property Search, or on Zillow, Realtor.com, or one of the other online real estate databases. We can also help you find your Northern Michigan retreat; just call us to get started. If you see something you like or have questions about a listed property, please contact us first, before the seller’s Realtor, as we have access to all the information on listed properties in Michigan and can show them as well. Remember, the listing Realtor represents the seller, not you.

These are major investments, so do it right and hire a Real Estate Lawyer/Broker from REL to represent you in this purchase. We charge the same as a Realtor on listed properties, with no hourly legal fees. Unlike a Realtor, 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 and are paid from the commission when the sale closes.

REL is a member of both the Northern Great Lakes Realtors MLS and the 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 into price and location. Call us at (231) 498-2171 or email jim@realestatelawyersplc.com.
