Susan Says - Comments on Ann Arbor Real Estate, and Life

By
Real Estate Agent - Keller Williams Realty, Ann Arbor, MI
Random postings, about my family (does anyone care?), about my community (of course you care!), my philosophies of life (it's Ann Arbor, everyone cares...), and cats (don't care if you care), and my passions, real estate and design. I hope not to offend. Enjoy!

Today I had a midday cancellation.  Not to worry, it was at my daughter's orthodontist - no revenue lost, huge savings gained.  I quickly came up with an important plan of action to fill this gift of time.  One, go to the bank to straighten out that pesky password problem.  Check.  Stop for some ...

All politics aside, and that is hard to believe from the title of this piece, sometimes wisdom is withheld from youth.  Sometimes, it is embodied within them.At a town hall meeting in Salem, New Hampshire on January 7, 2008, while Hillary Clinton addressed the crowd, a pair of young men unfolded ...

Yeah, I'm a newbie to this real estate blog thing.  This is the last time I am going to call myself that though since I think I've got ALL of your numbers.Some of you post your listings.  Some of you post your local stats.  Some of you post your industry stats.  Some of you talk about rules, regu...

Tonight I took a much-needed break and watched a movie - my daughters would have liked it if they pried themselves from the computer.  They were sitting next to me on the couch, laptop in lap, movie playing in the background, but they were so caught up in this new site they had discovered, "Stumb...

First let me say that pictures don't do a property justice - it can go either way.  I have listed and seen some marvelous properties whose attributes could not be adequately presented via photos or virtual tours - even the expensive virtual tours with the "you are here" vantage points.I paid for ...

First let me comment that the old saying about "assume" and what it does to U and ME...has gotten me into trouble before.  Not this time though.  I kept my mouth shut and listened to a buyer who found me from my blogging on active rain.  He was actually one of three prospects who contacted me las...

I am a relative newbie to active rain but I have blogged on several occasions about the down market we are experiencing in Michigan.  Auto industry woes, exodus of other major employers, the news just keeps hitting us one wave after another.  Yet we hang in there, many of us, knowing that Michiga...

Tomorrow my husband returns to work after a very, very long break.  I sometimes envy him his corporate ways.  He goes to his job, does not work overtime, comes home, and forgets about it all.  He has ample vacation time when no one calls him for work purposes.  There may be unfinished projects th...

Yes, I know.  I had all year to get it done but I officially completed the required continuing ed for 2007 just 6 minutes ago.  For a procrastinator, that means I did really, really well!  I finished early - exactly 5 hours and 57 minutes early to be precise!So now it's on to New Year's Resolutio...

This is a real estate blog site and there are so many groups that there is literally room for everyone.  I have to wonder though, when is a blog more than a blog?  Is the information we are sharing more than the public deserves, or more than our families, friends, associates, should be expected t...

Generally anecdotal in style rather than a lot of statistics and facts. My goal is to allow fellow bloggers and the public to know who I am so they can comfortably work with me or refer business to me in the greater Ann Arbor, MI area.
