Local know-how

What to know about buying and selling in Chelsea

Lake homes have their own questions

Around the Waterloo area, ask whether a property has deeded lake access or only an easement, and whether a lake association sets rules or fees.

Well and septic beyond the city

Homes in the surrounding townships usually have private wells and septic systems. Budget for a water test and septic inspection on top of the home inspection.

Rural lots may qualify for USDA

Some properties outside Chelsea may be eligible for USDA home loans with no down payment. Ask your lender to check the exact address.

Questions, answered

What parts of Michigan do you cover?

The whole state: metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Traverse City, the lakeshore and the Upper Peninsula. Enter your ZIP and we match you with a partner who works that area.

Is this really free?

Yes. There's no cost to you. Our partner agents and lenders are paid the usual way, and only if you choose to work with them.

Who will contact me?

One of our partner real estate agents or mortgage lenders who serves your area. Keep your phone handy: they may call or text from a number you don't recognize. You can reply STOP or ask them to stop at any time.

Should I get pre-approved before I look at homes?

Usually, yes. A pre-approval shows sellers you're serious and tells you exactly what you can afford. After you send your request, tell us you need a mortgage and we'll add a partner lender too.

Can you help me sell and buy at the same time?

Absolutely. Pick "Buying & selling" and we'll match you with an agent experienced in coordinating both sides of a move.
