John(a happy Added Value client) sold his investment property to a first time home buyer. He was very happy with Paul and Nicole, his Added Value Realtors. John saved over $2,100 in commission with the Added Value Realty seller savings program. He also had this to say,"A note of Thanks for your expertise selling Five Points.

Katrina (the Added Value Realtor) and Sonhia,longtime friend who wanted to get her own home in a better neighborhood for her daughter. She wasn't particularly sure if she wanted to buy a fixer upper or a complete rehab but she did know she wanted a better neighborhood. It didn't take us long to find the house of her dreams. We found a three bedroom brick bungalow on a double lot in a quiet neighborhood next to a school that was affordable and already had equity in it.
Paul and Nicole (the Added Value Realtors) purchased a home in Canton, fixed it up and sold it to a beautiful family that needed the kids to be in Van Buran schools and a house that had absolutely no work except decorating.
Laura and Doru came here from Romania a few years ago and have been living in apartments. They were ready to buy a condo and their best friend Robert, who previously used Added Value and knew about the CASHBACK program recommended that they use Added Value for their realtors. They already knew what condo (an apartment conversion) they were interested in but wanted assistance with negotiations to get the right price. After trying to get the price they wanted with the sales associate at the site with no success, their Added Value Realty faxed a letter directly to the Builder with their offer. The builder called the next morning and accepted. Done Deal!
Laura and Doru received $904 CASHBACK at closing.
"Added Value was great at responding to our questions and request very prompty". Congrads on your first home!
Steve and Aimee (engaged first time home buyers) on closing day. After viewing 65+ houses….eureka! We found it!
AND with smart negotiations walked into $10,000 of equity.
Both new teachers and still in grad school, they were restrained with a tight budget of under $135,000 and wanted a home where they could move in without too many immediately costly updates. The marathon search sometimes seemed endless but their Added Value Realty agent encouraged them to keep looking and not to settle.House after house, they scrutinized…Aimee said, "I needed to look at everything out there so I could feel comfortable that I made the right decision." Steve said, "I spoke with a friend of mine who is a Realtor and he said that he would never have stuck with me with my budget and 65 houses". Added Value understands that buying a house is a huge investment and that each buyer (no matter what their budget) deserves to be supported throughout the process. The results paid off. When Aimee and Steve looked atthe MacKenzie property, they had looked at enough to know this was the one. Within an hour, their parents were back at the house for a second viewing and agreed unanimously. Not only did it have what they wanted but also had many bonuses including a new water heater, a new fence, a $3,500 retractable awning, newer warranted windows, a bar in the basement and Added Value gave them a $1,350 Buyer realtor rebate!!. Now Aimee is planning her paint colors…red kitchen, purple and sage in the master bedroom and Steve and his new father in law are off to Home Depot…..
Congrads to Aimee and Steve! It was both fun and a privilege to assist you finding your first home!

Dr.Kan and Terri were taking a job transfer from Boston and relocating to Detroit. Ghis helped them view homes over the internet and previewed homes while the Fang family was still in Boston.

A letter from a satisfied client:
" Regina,
It was with a bit of reluctance that I chose to utilize a real estate agent to rent out the condo. After trying to rent it out using signs and ads on my own for over 4 months it became evident that I needed the help of a professional…and that is just what we got! I cannot believe that we rented out the condo for 3 years at our asking price, of $2400/month, within 1 week of listing the property for lease with you and Added Value Realty! This is a testament to the fact that having the appropriate contacts within the industry can make all the difference. Not only were you able to find us renters for 3 years but they are outstanding individuals. Just think…If I did not list with your firm I may have had several months of vacancy at $2400 per month. You literally saved me thousands of dollars. Not only that but I have had a difficult time finding a renter that is even close to the caliber of the tenant your company has provided. I only hope that I can repay you and Added Value Realty someday. If you ever need a reference please do not hesitate to call I will do what ever I can to help you.
Thanks again,
Kurt

Evelyn and Brian are getting married in May and were searching for their first home.
After a frustrating experience trying to buy a home with another Realtor, they heard about Added Value Realty from a friend. They worked closely with their Added Value Realtor and looked at 40 houses in their time frame. When they were ready, they took all 4 parents to their favorite 2 houses. It was a mutual consensus for the "Brody" house. Mr.B liked the tall finished basement, Mrs. B liked the layout and the clean oven, Mr. S liked the deep garage and Mrs. S liked it all. Oh, and Evelyn and Brian loved it too. An offer was made that night and accepted within 24 hours. And this time, everything went smoothly.
They now have the keys to their first home and are now picking paint colors and having fun decorating. Brian's comments, "Added Value was very helpful and good at answering all our questions. We also liked that they drove us around to the houses, were good at finding additional info on houses and we liked the CASHBACK".

Another Happy Customer! Congrads Keith!
Tania and Keith were anxious to move into an Ann Arbor house. In order to do this, they had to sell their Pittsfield condo. Unfortunately thier complex had many condos for sale and the competition was tough.

Carla (Added Value Realtor) listed and sold their condo under these difficult conditions. Keith and Tania sold their condo and saved $4,000 in listing commissions with the ADDED VALUE REALTY Ultimate Savings Listing program
