Ann Arbor a Worldwide Choice for Global Citizens

earth imageMany of our clients are bringing money from other countries and we want to provide a currency converter. Before transferring money for a transaction, check with your lender and the title company regarding homeland security issues. We just had a closing not close because the parents transferred $52,000 into the Ann Arbor condo buyers bank account. He only needed $12,000 so the lender had to have documentation for the additional funds which happened to be from China. Once documentation was secured (one week later) the son was able to close. He was thankful for the money, but the additional funds could have waited until after closing to prevent the delay.

One of the cool things about living here is having many international friends, some who are foreign language professors. Some of our professor friends have volunteered to help us with relocation buyers language translation needs. Talk about personalized service!

You know, we help many families relocate to Ann Arbor. Diane, one of our buyers agents is a certified relocation specialist, which is the highest designation showing she has a higher standard of care and knowledge to assist our clients.

Coming from another area, you will may want to know about Washtenaw schools, crime, neighborhoods, shopping, sports, dining, clubs, recreation, your interests, and organizations. That is alot to digest.
