Check out these stools. Yes, stools. Do you think Bill Gates has them? Somehow I don’t think he does.
Actually I like the quirky creativity. Let me know if you have them.

Tomorrow is another of our fun and creative Birmingham-Bloomfield Realtor Network Last Tuesday Tours. I will be at 975 Fairfax between 10 and 1 and I would love to see your smiling faces.
For those of you who missed my post about cooperation, the BBRN is a group of 10 top producing agents from competing Birmingham-Bloomfield […]

I guess I am an undercover Realtor cowgirl. If I can, I will cast out my lasso and rope a buyer for my home sellers. No, not literally, though I confess I have been tempted. The cowgirl analogy sounds funny for a Realtor who works in the upscale suburbs of Metro Detroit, […]

I’ve long extolled the importance of good internet marketing for homes. Multiple photos and virtual tours are a must. Buyers want to see pictures. I usually manage to get decent images with my digital camera, but I have no control over the Michigan weather. I haven’t done any scientific research, but […]

Ironically enough my Valentine’s day post is about the place where Dmitry and I were married, The Whitney, a beautiful restaurant in Detroit. The mansion was built by David Whitney, a lumber baron, in 1894 and a newspaper at the time described it as “the most elaborate and substantial residence in this part of […]

People end up on my blog for funny reasons. Someone landed here today because they Googled “Who has the best corned beef in Oakland County.” Well, I don’t remember ever writing much about corned beef here before, but the question is a good one. And, fortunately for that reader, I have the […]

Here is my anecdotal market report for Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills. The big money buyers seem to be back, and they have been out shopping since the first of the year. We are happy to see them! They’ve been laying low for the last twelve months, but it appears that they are tired of waiting. […]

I hear the craziest things that people have been told to do in order to rescue or improve their credit score. Have you ever gotten a copy of your credit report and then gone through it and closed all of the accounts you were not actively using? You thought this would be good for fraud […]

A few days ago I wrote about the most expensive house on the market in the US right now, a $155,000,000 spec home in Montana, that, by all accounts looks pretty darn fabulous.
Today I thought I would tell you about the most expensive home on the market in Metro Detroit. Compared to Montana prices, […]

In the ever changing world of miOaklandCounty’s sidebars you will now find Meebo. It is all the rage in the blogging world right now, and its popping up on real estate blogs as quickly as for sale signs on front lawns in South East Michigan. Ouch. I should not have said that.
