My conversation with Larry made me think about some of the aspects of how this legislation will impact the way I sell […]

Real Estate Market improving?? If you listen to the doom and gloom crew you’d never know it! I have read so many articles in the last few […]

Potentially good news out of Lansing for Michigan home sellers. Democrats are initiating legislation to allow home buyers to pay the same amount in taxes as the home seller was paying.
