Testimonials

1. Ann,
   I hope there is a 'hall of fame' for Realtors. You deserve to belong there. As we struggle with this economy, having a Realtor who goes out of her way to make it just and fair for everyone makes us believe in love and compassion. Thanks Ann, this comes from the depth of my heart and my family's.

2. This letter is written to inform you of the excellent work performed by your agent, Ann O'Connor. Ann worked with us in purchasing our home in Haslett and in finding a buyer for our old home. At every step along the way, Ann was the consummate professional; guiding, advising, supporting, encouraging, and leading us through the process of buying and selling a home. We were most pleased to have Ann as the knowledgeable, conscientious and professional who provided excellent service.
   
   I am sure you are most proud of your staff and the work they do on your behalf, but in our opinion, Ann O'Connor deserves high praise and commendation. Perhaps to most she was simply doing her job, but it is the way in which she conducts herself that separates her from most.
   
   Richard and Carol Baldwin

3. Thank you so much for your patience and tenacity in dealing with this purchase. You are a true professional and a model for all real estate agents! We love our new house and ultimately are happy with the arrangements. We look forward to dealing with you again soon.

4. I recently moved to the area and was faced with the daunting task of re-building the fabric of my life again. As my career took me here, I really didn't have much knowledge of the area or an understanding of the community. Ann helped me with more than simply purchasing my new home; she helped me re-connect my life in a place that was foreign to me, and I quickly transitioned into the community.
   
   Ann represents her company with professionalism and tenacity. Her knowledge of the local marketplace is invaluable, and her professional negotiating skills are irreplaceable. She possesses that critical intuitive assessment of REAL home value that will help you buy or sell your home quickly with the greatest return on your dollar.
   
   I'm proud to say that Ann is my real estate professional... and is a real joy to work with!

5. Although our house was on the market for 13 months, as we told Ann, we never once considered having anyone but her work for us. From the moment we met her, Jim and I both were extremely impressed with her, but we had no idea how dedicated and concerned she would become through the months. Ann kept us informed on all activity that developed, hosted numerous open houses for us, sat around the table many evenings strategizing with us on what else we should be doing, and even comforted and supported us when we couldn't see an end. About two weeks after the closing, Ann called us one day just to see how we were doing. Although it's business, it's more like gaining a new friend.

Finding a good neighborhood

Anyone will tell you that buying a home in a good neighborhood is essential. But what things go into making one neighborhood more desirable than another? Aside from an intangible feeling about a place, there are a number of qualities that set some neighborhoods apart, such as:

• Good public schools nearby.
• Well-maintained homes and clean public areas.
• Close proximity to good shopping.
• Public facilities like parks and community centers.

Doing thorough neigborhood research is critical if you truly want your home to fit your needs. Here are some basic strategies:

Call City Hall

You may like an area now, but you could feel differently if a football stadium or six-lane highway will be your future neighbor. Check with local officials on the zoning of neighborhoods and the likelihood of any substantial public projects. Large projects such as major road construction are planned years in advance.

Resale Potential

Though appreciation can be an impossible thing to predict, it's good to at least try to determine a home's resale potential. Slow selling homes may just be a function of the current market, but they could also indicate problems (or perceived problems) with the neighborhood that could affect resale. Check for any information on new industries or companies moving to the area in the future that could lead to housing demand later.

Do the Footwork

Probably the most important step in researching neighborhoods is to get a first-hand look. Talk to residents, visit local schools, businesses, and parks, and get to know your way around. If you plan on using public transportation, see what options are available. Be sure to visit the neighborhood at several different times of day. Three quick ways to scope out a neighborhood:

• Eat at local restaurants (non-chains) to get a feel for the people.
• Attend a community meeting.
• Read the community newspaper for at least a week.

In the end your impression of a neighborhood will largely be an emotional reaction. By researching the facts and future of a given neighborhood, you'll ensure that your hunches are well informed.
