The Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors added the “Short Sale” and “Bank Owned” to their MLS search today.
Having been a Director on the Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors for 7 years, and MLS Committee, we have been working on getting this update for years. Searching for homes that are being sold “short” has been a welcome addition in how we search for our clients in the MLS.
Many times a client will call and the first thing they say is, “I want to buy a short sale or foreclosure.”
We would have to dig through the remarks to see if the listing agent had mention it there. Now short sale is a search field and we are better able to serve our clients by getting the data quickly.
If the home is selling as a short sale this will now become a required field for all NEW listings. It is up to the listing agent to update that one field in the MLS and make it searchable. We changed all of our short sale listings today.
If you are looking for a short sale or foreclosure make sure you are working with a Realtor that understands the entire process.
In this market their are many great opportunities for buyers to purchase a short sale. However, you must be patient. The average short sale takes a minimum of 12 weeks and beyond to close.
Here is a list of Short Sales and Foreclosures in the Ann Arbor Area. Since this is the first day, I am sure many agents have not had time to update all their listings so if you need help or want us to send you a list for a particular area, just give us a call or email and we will send them to you.
It is much easier to help you now and get you the information you need quickly.

Ann Arbor and Saline residents, you know we are going through a lot of changes. This is a great little video that puts life in perspective.
Although the video has zip to do with real estate, it does have to everything to do with how we communicate with each other and the people looking to buy or sell in Ann Arbor and Saline. Make sure you hire a Realtor that is going to market your home where the buyers are looking.

Missy Caulk, (that would be me), just co-authored and released a book, “Profit from Technology”. I have found many if not most Realtors don’t understand the importance of new technology in the 21st Century.
My goal in contributing to this book was to help Realtors around the country learn how to increase and grow their busines through the use of practical technology.
Each of my colleagues took a certain topic and expanded upon it. Some of the chapters include:
- Technology: Nemesis or Redeemer?
- 100% Online Lead Generation
- Using Internet Tools to Serve the Seller
- Speak the Language of Today’s Internet-Enabled Client
- Through the Eyes of a Real Estate Industry Social Media Blogger
- Virtual Assistants- The Future of Real Estate Support
- Organic Searchs vs.Pay Per Click
- Building a Profitable Custom Website
- How to Avoid Burn Out or Addiction
You can get both a download version and a hard copy if you order by June 30th. The price is $19.95.

I just released a new website. It was a tough decision as I had been with my previous vendor since 1999. But, I wanted to be able to cover neighborhoods in and around Ann Arbor. 
Way back when………..before the internet had come so far, we used our names for the web-site titles. ugh….I WOULD NEVER do that now but because of the years building that brand.
I’ve had a few people ask me why I didn’t just keep this blog and forget a separate website. My personal opinion is that most people looking for anything on Real Estate want to see listings.
Now don’t get me wrong, I am fortunate to have this little blog and Ann Arbor Real Estate Talk bring me lots of business. After reading for a while trust is established and clients pick up their phone and ask me to list their home or help them buy a house.
Sellers like to see their homes getting tons of exposure so I like to have consumers find them in one place and not have to dig deep within all the pages of a blog.
To read more on the features visit BlogAnnArbor.com or go tell me what you think. I will be adding neighborhoods and Condo communities on a consistent basis so eventually people looking to purchase will be able to get a great overview of each subdivision around Ann Arbor and Saline.
