Craigslist Scammer

If you are looking for a home for rent or to buy on craigslist, be careful Ann Arbor buyers. Today I received “another” call from a person who saw my listing for rent on the Huron River via Craigslist.

Only it is NOT my ad, but some spammer.

I went to Craigslist flagged it as prohibited.

The second call I got on renting the house was from someone  that works at Bank of America. She said she had been communicating with the “supposed seller.”

I told her 1370 Huron River Dr was both for sale and rent, but at $3500.00 a month NOT $1000.00

So I emailed the scammer and the idiot has been emailing me back.

Here is the dialog:

Me: This is MY listing, I have had 2 people call me, (thankfully) about renting1370 Huron River Dr. at 1000.00 a month. I have reported you to craigslist.

You are a scammer trying to get money from people and this makes me sick.

Thankfully 2 people called me, but how much money have you scammed off the innocent the last 4 days?

Her: Who are you?

Me: You see my contact information below, you are scamming innocent people, how much money have you made today, off defrauding people?

Her: OH how are you….how is the condition of my home

Me: It is NOT your home, Paula or whoever you are.

Her: why,give me prove that you own it.

At this point I am finished communicating with her. Most of the time I report the scammers, send an email and it is done.

Ann Arbor Buyers Be Careful if Looking for a Home on Craigslist

Are you engaged to be married?

Already dreaming about buying your first home in the Ann Arbor Area?

Did you know that FHA allows you to set up a Bridal Registry Savings Account for your guests to donate money into for your down payment?

Gee, I wish I had known about this last year when my daughter got married.
The intent is to give couples planning to get
married the opportunity to amass monetary gifts
from friends and family for the specific purpose
of making the down payment on a home.

You can read the HUD letter here on Setting up a Bridal Registry Savings Account. 
This program is also available for marriages the second time around.

Downpayment Assistance in Ann Arbor When Getting Married

What a fantastic day was spent on Saturday at the University of Michigan Woman’s Football Academy.

Besides over 100,000.00 raised for the Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Missy Caulk TEAM was able to contribute $750.00.

Thank you so much for all my past clients and blogging friends that were able to help us out.

The Schedule

In the mornings after introductions, everyone was divided into teams and each team rotated with a position coach where we learned the stances, and the proper technique’s. After about 15 minutes with each University of Michigan Coach and the players we rotated to the next position.

The Scrimmage

After lunch we got in our assigned teams. My team was coached by Coach Jeff Hecklinski, (Coach Heck) the Wide Receiver Coach. Our team played against Coach Jerry Montgomery’s team, who coaches the Defensive Line. Coach Heck, turned the actual plays over to Roy Roundtree, and he wanted everyone to go long. (tee hee)

Coach Heck said the one thing he heard over and over again all day was, “OMG there is Denard!”

One of the most fun things was running through the tunnel and getting to scrimmage in the the BIG HOUSE.

Well a picture is worth a thousand words, so let the video show you have much fun we had at the U of M Woman’s Football Academy.

If you would like to play on our team next year, let me know because I would love to be able to spend the day with you and help raise more money for the Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Ann Arbor zip code comparisons on home sales and inventory.

Ever wonder where home prices, are the highest in Ann Arbor?

Take a peak…

This Saturday, June 11, 2011 is the Annual University of Michigan’s Womans Football camp.

This will be the second time I have played, attended it. The first time was in Summer of 2004 and I broke my pinkey finger catching a pass with Lloyd Carr looking on.

I was playing Wide Receiver in the afternoon scrimmage and and I was not suppose to be thrown a pass. It was a running play but the running back got tackled, the QB looked up and saw me open so through me the ball and I caught it. (breaking my finger)

I walked up to my Coach, who at the time was Braylon Edwards, and said, “I think I broke my finger.”

“Nah,” said Braylon, “Good catch, get back in there.”

But, I walked off the field with my finger hanging and went into the locker room, where Paul Schmidt, Athletic Trainer for the Wolverines said, “Missy, get out to Saline Hospital and get an x-ray right away.” (Paul is from Saline and knew me from there.) So I did…3 days later I had surgery and wore a halo cast for 3 months.

Now I am playing again!!

But, this time we signed Medical Release Forms. Wonder why?

My husband played QB in high school, and the Marines (anyone remember when the Marines had a team?) and all my 3 sons played in high school. NOT ONE of them ever had a serious injury, but mom goes out one day and OUCH!

Now even though we will have a lot of fun at the Womans U of M Football Camp, it does serve a higher purpse and that is to raise funds for the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. Since its creation in 1999, the program has helped more than 15,000 cancer patients and their families.

I never have begged asked for support on my Ann Arbor Real Estate Blog, but TODAY I am.

Can you help us raise money for this worthy event by donating to The Missy Caulk TEAM‘s efforts for U of M Comprehensive Cancer Center?

Christa and I are excited to be helping them out and you know after reading my story about my broken finger I would not be doing this again, if not for a worthy cause.

If you are one of my 2430 friends on Facebook, or 3826 Followers on Twitter…

…if eveyone could give $5.00 to $10.00, $50.00 or $100.00 we would be so very grateful.

DONATE HERE Thank you!!

The Ann Arbor Real Estate Market is HOT. It is hot outside,what happened to Spring?

I submitted an offer yesterday, and there are already 5 other offers on it. {EAV_BLOG_VER:7a3e19f8fcb5e977}

I was going to submit another offer on a completely different house and location, and the listing agent told me “sorry, we have 3 offers, one is full price, with a quick close. (((sigh)))

Why?

Price and Condition

Many times a home can be in great condition but not sell in the average days on the market which is currently 94 days because it is priced above the market. If you are a buyer and have been frustrated about how fast the good homes are selling, you need to have a Ann Arbor Home Search new listings sent automatically to you.

You can sign up on Search Ann Arbor Houses and our system will go right into the MLS and automatically send them to you.

The homes priced right and in great condition go quickly.
