Nope, it is not Dmitry. Just another fan crazy about the real estate information he finds on miOaklandCounty.com.
OK. I am funnin’. Just found a new Facebook application that creates these nifty images. If you are on Facebook, look me up!

Last winter we helped Alex and Donna Crowther move from Emmons in Birmingham into a home they had been eying on Cass Lake. Dmitry and I managed to sell their home in 6 days under very challenging circumstances, but it allowed them to make the move up to their dream home. USA Weekend [...]

Wedged into a pie shaped piece of land between Woodward and Old Woodward, just South of Oak, lies a Birmingham neighborhood that has been nicknamed Little San Francisco.

Our daughter, Katya, was born into a family where both of her parents work together as Realtors. As such, she has no idea what it is like to have parents with “normal jobs”, where they stop working when they get home for the day, don’t answer business calls after 6, have weekends that consist [...]

I’ve spent more time than I care to admit this morning reading a juicy blog about Kate in LA and her search for a home. From what I gather, Kate is a lawyer, and she and her boyfriend, whose identity she protects by calling him “E” so that he does not become an instant [...]

For just about a month now, Dmitry and I have been receiving really irritating phone calls from a local company that is asking Dmitry if he would like to list his home in the MLS.
First of all, as most of our enlightened readers know, we are Realtors. A major part of our job involves [...]

Realtor Athol Kay runs an amusing series of bad MLS photos from across the country on his blog.  By all rights, I should send him this photo and let him share it with his wide audience of readers who tune in just for the latest in bad MLS photography.  I do hope I am not [...]

Blog Tour USA stopped off in Birmingham Michigan on July 14th, and the city rolled out the red carpet. The streets were filled with people, bands played, and a festive atmosphere surrounded Rudy Bachraty and Joe Ferrara  of Sellsius when they got off of the bus.
Actually, it was Birmingham’s annual Day on the Town, a [...]

It is hard not to feel sorry for Alan Jacobson. He fell in love with a historic home in Virginia, made a deal with the seller, and waited for the seller to make repairs before close.
It got really ugly after that, a contractor died, the two parties started fighting and lawyers reaped the benefit [...]

Come one, come all Michigan Bloggers. We are being honored by a visit from the real estate blog tour bus that is traveling across America this summer. Sellsius Blog Tour USA is stopping in Birmingham and we are meeting at SKBK Sotheby’s today around noon. I presume Rudy and Joe will be [...]
