Does a bedroom have to have a closet?

That's one of the questions I hear when looking at older homes.

The answer might surprise you. A closet isn't necessarily required, but there are other things that matter, especially when it comes to basement bedrooms.

Windows, room dimensions, emergency escape, and even septic capacity can come into play.

I put together a new Real Estate Guide explaining what buyers and sellers should know.

Does a Michigan home seller have to fix everything they disclose?

Not necessarily.

Michigan's Seller's Disclosure Statement is about reporting known property conditions, not promising that everything is perfect.

There is also a difference between knowing about a problem and genuinely not knowing the answer.

Today's Real Estate Guide explains what sellers must disclose, when exemptions apply, and why buyers should still get inspections.

Michigan property owners with acreage may have new opportunities coming.

A change to Michigan's Land Division Act will increase the statewide allowance for the first 10 acres of a qualifying parent parcel from four to ten resulting parcels beginning March 24, 2027.

But that doesn't mean every ten acre property can suddenly become ten buildable lots.

Zoning, access, utilities, previous divisions, and other restrictions still matter.

If you own a house on several acres, it may be worth investigating your remaining division rights before deciding to sell.

I put together a new Real Estate Guide explaining what's changing and what property owners should check first.

Pass Go. Pay Taxes?

When a home sells in Michigan, who actually pays the property taxes?

The buyer? The seller? Both?

The answer depends on the Purchase Agreement and the method used to divide the taxes.

Here's something interesting. On a home with $8,000 in annual property taxes, moving the closing date by just seven days can change the calendar year allocation by about $153.

I put together a new Real Estate Guide explaining how property tax proration works, along with an interactive calculator where you can change the tax amount and closing date to see the difference.

You've made it through the inspections, appraisal, and mortgage approval. Closing day is almost here.

But there's one more level to complete.

The Final Walkthrough.

What happens if the furnace stops working? A pipe leaks? The movers damage the floors? Or an appliance that was included in the sale suddenly disappears?

Your purchase agreement may address these situations, and the final walkthrough is your opportunity to check the property's condition before closing.

Our latest Real Estate Guide explains what buyers and sellers should know.

A closing date is written into the purchase agreement. But what happens when that date comes and goes?

Maybe the lender needs three more days. Maybe an inspection deadline was missed. Can one party walk away? Does the buyer automatically lose their earnest money?

Four words can make a big difference: "Time is of the essence."

Our latest Real Estate Guide explains what this means, with examples of contract language and how missed deadlines can affect a Michigan real estate transaction.

Knowing what you're agreeing to before signing can prevent problems later.

Two homes. Both have 2,000 square feet.

But one has a 900 square foot finished basement, and the other doesn't.

Same advertised above grade square footage, but very different amounts of finished living space.

When buying or selling a home, it's important to understand what counts toward square footage, what gets reported separately, and how that space affects value.

Our latest Home Square Footage Basics article explains what to look for before making a decision.

You own a home. But do you know what your property deed actually says?

Warranty deed, quitclaim deed, title, mortgage. These terms get mixed up all the time, but they mean very different things.

Our latest Property Deed Basics article explains what a deed does, what protections different deeds provide, and where Michigan homeowners can find a copy of theirs.

Especially useful if you're buying, selling, inheriting, or transferring property.

The inspection report is in. Now what?

A home inspection can uncover everything from minor maintenance issues to major concerns.

But does the seller have to fix everything? Can the buyer ask for a credit instead? What if the two sides can't agree?

Our latest Home Inspection Negotiation Basics article explains the options and what buyers and sellers should consider before making their next move.

Survey says... Who represents whom?

When buying or selling a home, not every real estate agent you meet is working for you.

The buyer's agent represents the buyer. The listing agent represents the seller. But what about agency disclosures, brokerages, and representation agreements?

Our latest Real Estate Agency Basics article explains how it all works and why knowing who represents you matters.
