Royal Oak Michigan Homes: Eight Indoor Spring Maintenance Tips

Lee Morof, Associate Broker/Attorney/CDPE: Real Estate Agent in Birmingham, MI

Spring heralds the arrival of blooming flowers, chirping birds and warmer weather. It is also a perfect time to do some after-winter indoor maintenance. Here are eight indoor maintenance tips to help keep your Royal Oak Michigan home in perfect operating condition:

Lee Morof Sells North Woodward Homes in Southeast Michigan

  1. Change air conditioning unit air filters monthly: Clean air filters help your unit run more efficiently, saving money on your energy bills.
  2. Install environmentally-friendly window treatments: Save on utility bills by adding blinds to windows that face south and west. Open windows when the sun sets and close them at sunrise.
  3. Examine your sump pump: Make sure the sump pump is operating correctly, and install a battery backup pump. The backup, another pump that floats above the original pump, will kick on when the electricity goes out. If your sump pump fails, an alarm goes off, letting you know the backup is working. A few hundred dollars will save you thousands in water damage.
  4. Clean your condenser coils: Your refrigerator needs only a minimal amount of maintenance to run effectively. This maintenance consists of a simple cleaning of the condenser coil a minimum of once every 12 months – cleaning them once every 6 months is even better. This is very important to keep your refrigerator running more efficiently.
  5. Inspect all doors and windows for leaks and drafts: Look for peeling and chipped paint, which can indicate that water seeped in. Caulk areas between the frame and the wall to keep water and drafts out of your Royal Oak Michigan home. Examine putty and caulk lines around exterior windows and doors, and ensure that weather stripping creates a good seal.
  6. Check for gaps where mice and insects might be able to enter: Seal around under-sink faucet pipes, gaps where cabinets meet the drywall, etc.
  7. Replace caulking around sink faucets: If the caulking is discolored or worn away, this allows water to drip down inside the cabinets.
  8. Pay attention to worn grout in kitchens and bathrooms: If grout is missing or cracked, re-grout and re-seal as soon as possible. In bathrooms, get in the habit of wiping down tiled shower walls after each use.


If you’d like help identifying repairs that need to be done before putting your Royal Oak Michigan home up for sale, I’m happy to do a free, no-obligation walkthrough of your home. Call me today at 248-514-2640 or email me at info@NorthWoodwardHomes.com to schedule an appointment.

If Your Short Sale Agent Has A 90%+ Success Rate, Are They Really Looking Out For Your Best Interests?

Jackie Hawley - Southeast Michigan Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Clarkston, MI

If Your Short Sale Agent Has A 90%+ Success Rate, Are They Really Looking Out For Your Best Interests?

It seems like every broker has one- a "company" or "group" who will handle short sales for their agents' clients. I'm contacted a couple times a week with the common pitch: "All you have to do is list them and we take care of the rest. We have a 90% (or 95% or 98%) success rate. We are the best thing since sliced bread and it's easy money for you! It's a WIN-WIN."

First, I hate the term win-win.

Second, if a short sale company has a 90% or better success rate are they (and by extension YOU) really looking out for the best interest of your seller. Your client. You know- the person whose best interests you are supposed to be looking out for.

Are these companies claiming they NEVER have a listing that sells at sheriff's sale for the mortgage amount or more, relieving the seller of the deficiency? 90% or more of the time they get all deficiencies forgiven? Are we as agents just looking for an easy way to make money and to hell with our sellers- our clients, the people we are supposed to represent?

Is a Short Sale the Right Course of Action for You?

Sellers- The Short Sale is Subject to YOUR Approval Too
