A great source for leads that a lot of real estate agents never think of is a good family law attorney or a lawyer who specializes in divorce. I have a great Michigan Divorce Lawyer who often calls me when she is handling a divorce and the couple needs to have their home sold. Why not put your business card in the mail to 20 different divorce attorneys and then follow up with a phone call. Every divorce attorney needs a good realtor, because a lot of times their fee is tied up in the sale of the property and they don't get paid until the house sells. Divorce Attorneys are always looking for good realtors they can count on to sell their clients home. The listings are ideal because they must sell and they usually have to take the first reasonable offer that comes in.
The husband and wife both retained and agreed to use the same family law office of Jannelle J. Zawaideh. I didn't know that a husband and wife considering divorce could use the same lawyer. I learned that it's the most economical way to get through a divorce if you and your spouse can agree on everything. It makes it a lot easier if there are no children involved.
In this case neither the husband nor the wife could afford to keep the house, so they had no choice but to sell the home and split the proceeds. Not only was there a dispute over the listing price of the home, there was also a dispute over child custody and child support payments. If it wasn't for there being an attorney involved we may not have been able to come to an agreement.
Once the offer came in, the attorney stepped in and negotiated a settlement that benefited all the parties involved and everyone was happy. I have used The Law Offices of Jannelle J. Zawaideh for 3 years now and everytime I can remember both the husband and wife were very happy with her services. It's not a big firm, and I remember the last time she referred me a client, the wife said she felt like she got a lot of personalized attention. This is one of the advantages to hiring a small firm. If you are thinking about filing for divorce or have been served with divorce papers, then you need a good Michigan Family Law Attorney, call 248-705-9354 and ask for Jannelle. If you are thinking about filing for divorce and need to sell your home or buy a new home, feel free to call MARK Z. & Associates, a Northville Real Estate Agent that sells homes in Oakland, Wayne, Macomb, Washtenaw, and Livingston Counties.

Mark, great idea. This is something I have often thought of but never pursued. Thanks for putting it fresh in my mind. I'll be contacting a few attorneys soon.
Many of my referrals are from divorce attorneys. I love your idea though! Thanks for sharing.
Great idea Mark. Unfortunate for the couple involved, but there is a definite need for a Realtor's service here.
