There are plenty of real estate agents out
there, so what makes Ted so special? For one, he has lived most of his life in
Traverse City and has seen it grow from a little summer resort town to one of
the fastest growing areas in the state of Michigan. Due to his many lifetime
contacts, he is extremely knowledgeable about the ever-changing market, and he
utilizes those contacts to help match the right house together with the right
person. It is important to him to establish relationships based on trust,
honesty, and open communication. Ted is not looking for the quick sale, it is
more important to build lifetime clients. He wants you to have a positive
stress-free experience in your next real estate transaction. After all, you are
going to run into each again and again. This is a growing community, but it is
still a small town!
Here are some of the services they can
provide for you:
- Assistance in finding the right
bank or mortgage company for you.
- Information on schools,
relocation, neighborhoods, and even the best restaurants!
- A free comparative market analysis
to help you determine the market value of your property.
- Honest and sometimes hard-nosed
advice on the value of your sale or purchase. If Ted feels it is not worth
it, he will tell you!

Real Estate Contracts >Purchase Agreements
Whether it consists of several pages of big type or a few pages of fine print, a real estate purchase agreement is a serious, legally binding document. In most areas, there are "boiler plate" forms that spell out what each party agrees to do by certain dates and what happens if either side breaks the contract.
The best time to familiarize yourself with these forms is when you are beginning your search. Ask the real estate agent for a copy of the purchase agreement and then review it, keeping in mind that it has the force of law. If you don't understand the document, consult an attorney. If there is a dispute between buyer and seller, a court will hold you to what the purchase agreement specifies, not what you thought it meant or what you thought the real estate agent said it meant.
There are several key points you should be clear about. What are the deadlines for loan application and obtaining financing? If you decide to back out because of the structural inspection report, can you do that? Do appliances convey? When will the closing take place? If you understand these clauses before you find the perfect house, you will avoid a lot of stress and minimize the likelihood of misunderstandings.
