About Eaton County, MI

Thinking of buying a home in the Grand Ledge or Delta Township real estate market? Here's your key to home-ownership and a few tools to help you become more prepared for the American dream of owning a house.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) launched a new Web site to assist home-buyers with improving financial literacy, sustaining healthy home-ownership and achieving financial security. This is a great resource for anyone who wants to improve their financial situation.

Even before you begin looking for a home, the home-buying process requires diligent preparation. Buyers who have been approved in advance for a home loan often have their offers taken more seriously by sellers. The key is buying with the intention to hold long term. Property ownership equity accounts for more than half the wealth in the United States. It is never a bad time to buy real estate. Start your search for homes here. NAR offers a FREE step by step guide for home buyers.

In addition to the above, I encourage you to visit my home buyers tool kit page and Buying Services for Greater Lansing Area Home Buyers.

You'll be joining the ranks of hundreds of families who realize that home ownership offers a number of benefits including building equity, saving for the future, and creating an environment for your family. Start your dream today, by becoming well prepared. Selling your home also requires well thought out preparation.

So I have to admit that recently I have not been as active on the rain as I would have liked. So as I started several posts, nothing seemed to flow or feel right to post at this time, though I am not sure why. I then started on a topic that I feel very strongly about, volunteerism. After volunteering with many different groups and organizations over the years I have to say the time I spend with my "little brother", who I was put in touch with via Greater Lansing Big Brothers Big Sisters, is the most rewarding of all. Though there are many wonderful charities in the world today and several that I actively participate in, I have found BBBS the most rewarding. Today for example, as I sat waiting for my little, "John", I had the opportunity to see his face when he left his class room and saw me waiting for him. He was grinning from ear to ear. We were going to do nothing special just eat lunch and play a few games. It was that moment that reinforced the joy of volunteering. I believe the hour we spend every Thursday for lunch benefits me as much as him. It helps me remember my problems aren't as dire as I may think, and it is a good thing to take a break and enjoy some time away from the "Daily Grind". I guess what I am saying is that during the hectic day take a minute, think about " Is your life really that bad" and "What have I done to help someone else today". I have found it to be very calming and rewarding to spend time helping and benefiting others, which ever cause it may be!
