BUY WITH Michigan Homes and Cottages
Re-think everything you know about buying your home
The home buying process is stressful enough, and you shouldn't feel pressured to buy a home you don't love. That's why we do things differently. We'll help you find the right home (either on the market or off-market) on your timeline, in your budget.
OUR PROCESS
Go from pretty stressed to completely at ease
It's important that you always know what's around the corner when you're trying to buy a home. So here's what you can expect from start to finish when you work with Michigan Homes and Cottages.
Connect & Discuss Options
During our initial call or meeting (we are virtual as well), we'll get to know you and your goals and determine if we want to work together. We'll also take this time to explain how we plan to represent and guide you at every step of the process.

Next, we'll uncover what you're truly looking for and create your ultimate wishlist. This wishlist should include things like your likes, dislikes, and must-haves so we can begin narrowing down the homes on the market that fit your criteria.
Get Pre-Approved
The last thing you want to do is fall in love with a home that's simply outside of your price range. Getting pre-qualified for a loan will prevent this from happening and allow you to focus on looking at homes that not only meet your criteria but more importantly, fit within your price range.
Find the One
Not only will we send you listings that meet your criteria, but we'll also set you up on MLS alerts so new listings are sent straight to your inbox. After browsing homes online and visiting the ones you really love in person, we'll get together and decide which home is the one!
Write an Offer
We'll offer our professional opinion of value and help you write a competitive offer, which is important in such a competitive market. Lucky for you, we're experts in this market and you can count on us to always do what's in your best interest.

Once you have an accepted offer, we'll arrange for inspections, appraisal, and mortgage approval. Not only is there negotiation needed on price, but also after inspections and appraisal. This may sound overwhelming but we're here to make this process as easy as possible for you.
It's Time To Close On Your Dream Home!
On settlement day, the final paperwork is signed and the home is officially handed over to you. You'll receive the keys and that's it, you're officially a new homeowner! Congratulations!

Being my first home purchase, Dave understood my requirements and took charge when we found the home for me. I trust this guy tremendously. Gave me nothing but excellent advice and insight from experience while checking out homes and the process involved. A true professional!!

Lauri did a wonderful job helping us to find a vacation home in the Holland area. When we first contacted her, she took us on a tour of the Holland area so that we could become familiar with the neighborhoods and parts of town. Shopping for a property from out of town was challenging but Lauri and her team really helped. On a couple of occasions Lauri was able to give us virtual tours of properties using video, and her colleague Kersh went out of his way to show us properties when Lauri was unavailable. Lauri has tremendous knowledge of the area and her contacts were invaluable. In the end, we found a house that was a perfect fit for us, and Lauri connected us with local businesses (e.g., handyman service, rental management company) to help us realize our vision for the property. Lauri is knowledgeable, upbeat, and great to work with. We really appreciate all that she did and highly recommend her.
