I was thinking about this the other day when I was talking to some of my long time clients in Real Estate and started asking what have they done DIFFERENT in their business from the "hay day" til today... obviously it is a different world in Real Estate and Financing and you have to change to the what the market provides around you - What have you done DIFFERENT in...

• Marketing?
• Calls?
• Networking?
• Advertising?

Ok, so all of the above could fall under 1 bullet point - but, you get the point of the question...

Thanks, Keith Stonehouse

This morning my 5 year old and I made that annual visit to the pediatrician for her back to school check up. Katya is a healthy child, but she “freaked out” last year when Justin, the nurse, had to prick her finger to do a blood test. Ever since she has had a deathly fear of “blood shots.”

I intentionally hadn’t much mentioned the trip to the Dr.’s office today because I did not want her to get all worked up. But when the topic did come up as she got dressed, I showed her the pictures of Dr. Molly’s on Molly’s blog. Looks pretty cool. No stuffy lab coats. No scary looking equipment.

Filled with funky bean bags, and other kid’tastic finds, Birmingham Pediatrics feels hip and comfortable. Dr. Molly’s daughter Mairen greeted us and got Katya settled in with a fun filled activity pack that kept her occupied while I filled out papers. Mairen suggested we might be more comfortable over in the bean bag corner. When Katya wanted to take a look at the Kresge Farm out of Dr. Molly’s private office, Mairen took her right in and then told her that Katya would have binoculars in her exam room. Actually, I don’t think they call ‘em exam rooms and they don’t look like exam rooms. There was no table with a roll of paper on it!

Katya had a great visit. Tonight she told me she loves Dr. Molly and asked when she could go back.

Dr. Molly has figured it out. Your kids will love you for taking them to see her.

You can follow Dr. Molly’s adventures on her blog

Birmingham Michigan posted some nice housing numbers in February 2008 according to the April Edition of Metropolitan Realtor. Total home sales were up 26.32% as compared to February 2007. The median sale price was up by 9% and the number of on market listings declined by almost 8%. While one month does not necessarily represent a trend, the fact that all of these categories posted encouraging figures, gives cause for optimism. I suspect that many buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines, have jumped at this current opportunity to live in Birmingham. Prices have dropped considerably over the last few years and interest rates have remained low as well. Hence, many are now able to live in an area that they previously thought they could not afford.
