Message from the 2020 President
Women’s Council of Realtors Northern MI Board 2020 Welcome to Women’s Council of Realtors Preferred Directory! Our national organization rebranded our partnership from local affiliate to Strategic Partners in 2016. This positioning spoke to me as this is how I see my partners in this book. The adage “it takes a village” is the rudimentary requirement of selling, maintaining, and buying real estate. Without the knowledge and input of the folks on these pages, our jobs, as realtors, would be significantly more difficult. I hope that the directory serves as a reference for our community. I know I will refer to it, and without a doubt, this will be a great pocket reference for our clients. Our “village” is a strong and reliable network; it is my privilege to have assisted in this endeavor. Kind regards, Erica Slater Marshall Women’s Council Realtors – Northern Michigan President 2020 “If you are successful, it’s because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.” – Melinda Gates 2

Do you really have to replace your smoke alarm batteries? Yes, every year it is suggested that the batteries in a smoke detector be changed out, even if they are not weak yet, for safety. Fire Safety Teams suggest using Daylight Savings times as good times to remember to replace the batteries. For Hard Wired Alarms, you should have the back up battery in place in case of power outages. You should test your alarm once a month to make sure that they are functioning, to ensure that the battery didn’t drain from a weird electrical reason, or maybe the battery itself was weak/no good. When Selling a Mobile Home, Will I need to have the Title to it? If the Mobile home has not been affixed to the property and recorded, It will need to be taken care of many times prior to the closing if not by the time of closing. The title is called a Green Title, and it will need to be submitted first to the state with an Affidavit of Affixture, prior to being recorded at the county level. What if I can’t find my Green Title? You can submit for a lost title at your local Secretary of State before you are being the process of Affixing you mobile home. Tip: Half-Empty Closets Storage is something everyone wants more of in a home, so make your closet spaces look more appealing by decluttering and making them seem like there is more space. Do you have a Moving Day Essentials Box? Create a box with items you may need the first day or two while you are moving with things like: a roll of toilet paper, hand soap, all purpose cleaners, paper towels, rags, sponges, scissors, or an all-purpose cutting knife, a can-opener, a working flashlight, basic tools (hammer, screw driver, etc.) emergency kits/first aid kits, pet items, games or items to keep the children entertained for a short while, medication, snacks, drinks, basic paper products, and extra clothes. These will help as you travel and prepare your new home for moving in. Moving Day can be stressful for us as humans, so to can it be stressful for our Pets. Remember to prepare an overnight kit with food, water, toys, blankets, and litter to keep your pets comfortable. Keep them away from the action, so they are not overly stimulated and stressed out. Keep them in a quiet place, possibly an empty bedroom, bathroom or their pet Carrier until things calm down and you have settled in. Try to keep them on their routines if they have feeding times or times you stop to walk them. If possible move the house before you move the pets, so you can have their area set up as much as possible to help with the transition.
Remember, when Selling your home:
The first Impression is the only Impression. 32
