Short Sale Expert Answers your Questions What is a Short Sale?

A Short Sale is simply selling your home for less than you owe on your mortgage.

How much does it cost?

There is NEVER an upfront cost to do a short sale. Your lender will pay all costs associated with selling your home, including real estate commissions, title insurance, and delinquent property taxes.

What is the HAFA Program?

The HAFA Program, which will expire at the end of the year, will pay qualified sellers $3000 to short sale their primary residence. Unlike conventional short sales, a HAFA short sale completely releases you from your mortgage debt after selling the property. The deficiency is guaranteed to be waived by the servicer. Additionally, sellers will be able to qualify for an FHA loan in just 3 years.

It is CRITICAL to hire a professional Realtor with extensive knowledge and expertise in closing Short Sales. Kathy Manoogian has had tremendous success achieving Short Sale approvals for her clients.

FROM THE PUBLISHER The 2012 edition of The Guide that has been mailed to a majority of homes in Birmingham, Bloomfield Township and Bloomfield Hills marks another milestone for Downtown Publications.

When we first started our Birmingham-based publishing group in the fall of 2010, we hoped that support from the local business community would allow us to not only succeed with our monthly newsmagazine, Downtown Birmingham/Bloomfield, but provide us with the base to bring special publications like The Guide to the market.

So in the fall of 2011, we were able to mail to the local communities copies of the Black Book of Non-Profits, the first of its kind guide to major metro area fund-raisers, long supported by the residents of the Birmingham/Bloomfield area.

With the introduction of The Guide, we have added to our publishing group an annual community directory that serves as a local resource, with information on the government, education opportunities, houses of worship, hospitals, parks, the local dining scene, and other information for residents.

Yes, there have been past attempts by others to produce similar publications. The Guide, however, embodies something unique, aside from the fact that it represents the largest distribution of a community directory in this area. We took the time to develop a design and format we felt was more befitting of the area, as well as being functional in size.

We are excited by our first issue of The Guide, and must thank the advertisers you find inside for their support of our effort. Their backing allows us to fulfill our dream of continuing to develop our reputation as the key information supplier for this special area of Oakland County, so please show your appreciation by supporting these community leaders.

Lastly, we look forward to future editions of The Guide and welcome any feedback on this first edition.

THE GUIDE: COMMUNITY PROFILES Birmingham With all the charm of a small town in one of Michigan’s most trendy and upscale cities, the city of Birmingham has relied on its ardent and enterprising residents to bring the city to its current state of splendor and eminence.

Established in 1864, the community depended on noted pioneers such as John Hamilton, John West Hunter, Benjamin Pierce and Elijah Willits to elevate this Oakland County gem.

Today, Birmingham spans 4.8 square miles and is home to 20,103 residents. The median household income for the city is $101,529, according to the 2010 Census. The state median household income is reported to be $48,432. The average housing value in Birmingham is $369,200. By contrast, the average housing value for the state of Michigan is $144,200. With an affluent residential community boasting 8,941 households, the city’s central business district offers residents a posh downtown area with an eclectic variety of retailers and services within its borders.

Divided into three downtown districts, Birmingham is home to the Rail District, the Triangle District and the Central Business District.

The Rail District, traditionally a light industrial and small manufacturing division of the city, is now an up-andcoming area with the recent addition of chic new retailers, a brewery, restaurants, and artists.

The Triangle District offers a combination of larger businesses such as car dealerships and office buildings.

According to the Birmingham Principal Shopping District, this district is poised for exciting and vibrant redevelopment in coming years.

The Central Business District is composed of a myriad of shops, boutiques, hair salons, and eateries that encompass the heart of downtown Birmingham. This area of the city is home to award-winning dining, noted artists and clothing boutiques.

A community leader in Birmingham and Bloomfield for more than 50 years.

W

ebster’s Dictionary defines “community” as “a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage.”

While this definition is certainly correct, most of us view the communities in which we live in a much more personal way – after all, it’s where we choose to buy our homes, educate our children, work at our jobs, and socialize with family, friends and neighbors. Whether you’re a lifelong resident or a newcomer to the area, a sense of “community” is a soughtafter goal of most every homeowner.

At Hall & Hunter, we not only understand the importance of community, but also share a commitment to “give back” to the areas in which we, too, live and work. Each year we are proud to sponsor two very special events:

BIRMINGHAM HOUSE TOUR A tour of unique homes in a range of styles. Proceeds from the event benefit programs at The Community House of Birmingham.

ESTATES SALE OF ANTIQUES, COLLECTIBLES & TREASURES A one-day event in the north parking lot at Hall & Hunter Realtors, 442 S. Old Woodward in Birmingham, featuring fine furniture, antiques and other collectibles generously donated by clients and staff of Hall & Hunter, as well as the public. Admission is free. Proceeds from the sale benefit Habitat for Humanity as they build homes – and rebuild lives – in Oakland County.

We invite you to join us in these events as we strive to improve the communities which we call “home.” If you would like more information, please give us a call at (248) 644-3500. Or visit us at HallandHunter.com.
