Ask a Realtor

I am a Mobile Office Realtor based out of Lapeer Michigan. I work with John Burt Realty GMAC in Oxford. Every Realtor designs their own style and way they conduct their business because we are independent contractors. So you will find many different kinds of Realtors, I of course think that my style is better or else I would change it. I would rather have you decide, sense its your opinion that matters, not mine. I would like to explain the way that I have set up my business.

I will start with an explanation of what is a Mobile Office Realtor because as far as I know I am the only one of my kind and you most likely have never heard of one. The name really does hit the nail on the head, I am able to take my whole office on the road. Whether I am in North Branch, Davison, Grand Blanc, Birmingham or Troy I can type up contracts, print, fax, email and research homes online. I save my clients an extremely large amount of time, they don't have to wait for their Realtor to get back to the office to put paper work together, look up houses on the computer, fax an offer, receive a faxed offer or send you some information because I'm always at my office no matter where I am. If you need or want something you get it, because buying a home or selling a home is not just buying or selling a home its your home, your life and its all about you and your family. Its not about me, my job, my commission and isn't based on when I can get around to it at my convenience. If it's always at my convenience it at an inconvenience to and lets face we just don't have time to procrastinate.

I work as both a Listing Realtor and as a Buyer's Realtor so I can help people sell their home and help them buy a new home. These are very different businesses and operate quite differently from each other. I have a few web pages set up to help explain what I do as a Listing Realtor and a Buyer Realtor.

A Client's Recent Experience

I had a listing in Berkley, the sellers and I were out shopping for their next home when I received a call from a Realtor that had put in an offer on their home a day before that we had countered. The Realtor was from West Bloomfield, we were driving through Royal Oak on our way to see a house in Clawson, he said he had a new offer for us. He faxed it to me and by the time we got to the house I had the offer printed and was able to hand it to the sellers. They liked the offer, full price minus a little for seller concessions, so they signed it. After I showed them the house and on our way to the next house I sent the accepted offer back to the Realtor in West Bloomfield. Knowing that their house was basically sold (after only three months) they wanted to go back to a home that they really liked and had seen the day before in Sterling Heights. We stopped in a parking lot some where in Macomb County, I logged on to the MLS, set up the showing and printed off the MLS sheet for them to read over as we drove there. They decided to put in an offer so I typed it up, they signed it and I emailed it to the listing agent who was a Clinton Township Realtor. While I was talking with the agent about the offer my buyers just put in, the West Bloomfield Realtor that had the buyers for my clients home, he faxed back the bottom lined purchase agreement (buyer's acknowledgment of seller's acceptance) so I jumped back on the MLS and changed the status of my listing to pending. When we got back to the seller's/buyer's home at the end of the day, I put up the pending sign that I had with me.

Now if you have ever bought and/or sold a home you realize how much time and days of waiting, wondering and worrying I saved my clients. For a non-Mobile Office Realtor this would have taken days, and many trips to and from their office to get all of this done. It took me only a few hours and we were shopping for a new house for them. Most of the time the speed of your Realtor is the difference between a great deal and no deal at all. Ask anyone that has ever used a Michigan Realtor before if they think they could have had a better deal or less stressful time if they would have used a fast Mobile Office Realtor.
