Monday

Pretty busy start to the week. We got a deal accepted on a beautiful home in Laurium, and wrote a couple other offers in the office today as well. Josh and Jeremy closed on some vacant land near Freda today. We also listed one of the best commercial locations in downtown Houghton, CLICK HERE to check it out. Enjoy the weather!

Thursday

The weather is getting nice! CLICK HERE to see a nice, spacious home that I just listed in Laurium. Also, we just re-listed an impressive waterfront home near Chassell at a new attractive price, CLICK HERE to check it out!

MAJOR UPDATE

Winter is over!

April Snowstorm

The talk of the U.P. was snow, and lots of it. North of Houghton/Hancock we received at least 14 inches by this morning, and it has still been snowing steady today. I'd like to think that this should be the last snowstorm of the season, but you never know! CLICK HERE to see a great new listing, a nice commercial building right by the water in Hancock. This afternoon we also closed on a apartment complex in Hancock. Drive safe!

Monday

We hope that you are having a good April! CLICK HERE to see a price drop on our large home with 2.5 acres on Forsman Road near Hancock. Also, CLICK HERE to see a very affordable lot we just listed on Sandy Lake!

First Quarter

Well, we are to the first quarter of 2018, and with over $5,400,000 in closed sales, Northern Michigan Land Brokers of Houghton is currently #1 in sales in the Keweenaw MLS. I'm really proud of our team. We have about half as many agents as many of the other real estate companies up here, so it just speaks to the hard work and dedication of every agent in this office. Thank you for your business!

Thursday

April is almost here! CLICK HERE to see a nice parcel of land near Lake Superior that we just listed in Houghton County. There is nothing like owning a piece of the Keweenaw!

Warm!

55 degrees today! But it sounds like it won't last just yet. Today Julie got a deal together on her recent listing in Hancock. Jeremy sold a couple houses this week as well. Josh wrote an offer on some vacant land, and listed some more land up near Calumet Waterworks Road. Buyer inquiries are the highest we've ever seen for this time of year!

Snowy Wednesday!

Quite a bit of wet snow last night. I don't usually rant much on here, but here is something that I think about from time to time. I see a lot of vacant land listings hit the market where the listing agent takes little to no pictures of the property. Many times the listing has an illegible phone pic of a plat page, or occasionally one pic of the property where you can still see the agent's sideview mirror in the pic (they never got out of the car). It makes me feel bad for the seller. I'm not necessarily saying that people need to always list with us, as there are other agents in our area who are capable of selling vacant land. My advice is simply that if you are a seller thinking of listing your vacant land, ask your prospective agent the following questions. 1. Can you show me how much land you sell as compared to other vacant land sellers in your MLS? 2. Will you personally walk and thoroughly photograph the property? 3. Are you able to take aerial photos to show the property in its entirety? 4. Do you have GPS capability to locate the boundaries and corners of the property? 5. Are you equipped via 4-wheeler and/or snowmobile to show the property at any time of year? 6. How do you plan to market the property in addition to standard MLS marketing? If the prospective agent is unable to answer these questions to your satisfaction, interview other agents until you are able to find one who can do what it takes to sell your type of property. Selling vacant land takes some expertise, so don't take the chance of wasting time on the market with somebody who is unable to help you reach your goal. Hope this helps!

Friday
