Buying any home is a big decision and requires much thought and consideration – the same goes for buying a foreclosure home. The real estate professionals at Ben Lang Properties as always would like to inform Macomb County and Oakland County home buyers that there are many things potential home buyers should know before investing in a foreclosed home.
With the housing market back on the rise, many people will want to snag those foreclosures and bank-owned properties while they can. Before any Metro Detroit home buyer begins searching for homes to buy – Ben Lang Properties suggests a home buyer consider the following tips for buying foreclosures first.
1. Identify the reason for purchasing a foreclosed property
Do you intend to occupy the property? Do you plan to flip (resell) the property with or without repairs? Do you plan to rent the property?
2. Choose a real estate professional who is experienced with foreclosure properties
Most Oakland County home buyers and Macomb County home buyers tend to work with a buyer’s agent when purchasing REO homes. These Realtors can help a home buyer work out disclosure agreements, fees, preapproval letters, and negotiations.
3. Establish the foreclosure properties market value
A Realtor prepared Comparative Market Analysis is often the best bet to determine real market value. Ask for a report that contains information on:
4. Plan a property inspection
Utilities are usually shut off when a foreclosure property goes on the market. Banks may arrange for utility turn-on for a two or three day period after the property goes under contract. Sometimes home buyers must pay for re-winterizing the property, this is something to discuss with your Realtor.
5. Calculate repair costs.
Many foreclosures are in a state of disrepair ranging from mild cosmetics to major rehab candidates, and the buyer is usually financially responsible for all repairs on REO homes.
6. Patience pays
When you buy a foreclosed property from a bank, many people are involved, so home buyers need patience. Offers made on REO homes typically go through a longer process than other types of home sales and delays are inevitable.

Ben Lang Properties staffers know...there is a bunch of fun things to do in Metro Detroit, especially now that we are finally getting some colder temps and snow.
So bundle up, grab a hot cocoa or coffee and hit the road to these local favorite winter activities and festivals for some winter fun in Metro Detroit Michigan.
If excessive speeds, danger, and steep slopes are your cup of tea, you must make the 40-minute trip from Detroit to Waterford to experience The Fridge Toboggan Run. Definitely not for the weak of heart! After riders’ toboggans are pushed off the peak of the hill, sledders will encounter a 55-foot drop, then rocket through a 1,000-foot run at speeds in excess of 30mph.
Sound like fun?
For the little ones be sure to bundle up and mosey on down to area slopes that are more kiddie-centric. Slopes like Beverly Hills Village Park, Civic Center Park, or Shiawassee Park are great options for you.
Since our state has renowned ski resorts like Shanty Creek and Crystal Mountain, there’s got to be a lot of purists who stray from hitting the slopes anywhere south of Grayling.
If you’re looking to avoid the cost of journeying “Up North” or simply can’t bear to leave the Rochester Hills area make sure to check out White Lakes Alpine Valley. With 25 slopes and an elevation of 1,210 feet, it’s a little slice of heaven for skiers and snowboarders in southeast Michigan.
Cross country more your style?
Just head just 30-minutes north of Detroit MI to Lake Orion’s Bald Mountain Recreation Area. With some of the steepest hills and most rugged terrain in the area, park goers can trek through more than eight miles of manicured cross country skiing trails. It’s also a snowmobiler’s dream!

"I can't say enough good things about Ben Lang. I've always relied on word-of-mouth and the recommendations of friends that I trust and respect. Ben came highly recommended and I can see why! When my wife and I were looking to buy an "empty nester" home, to retire in, we had a very specific set of criteria. Ben's expertise and intimate knowledge of the Northern Detroit market led to several ideal prospects. Even after several months of trying and when our hopes were starting to wane, Ben was positive, motivated, and diligent. It was his commitment and drive that ultimately led him to finding us the house of our dreams, for a great price!!! He always had the answer to any question and the ability to explain the complexities of Real Estate, in a way that very easy to understand. I would (and will!) recommend Ben Lang to anyone that desires a true professional." Thanks for everything!

Ben has made himself readily available when needed, reacted quickly to questions and concerns, dedicated quality time to us (a great, personal service), and has provided professional recommendations based on market trends and research that I have learned to trust.

Jennifer Henke
“I recently worked with Ben Lang to sell my condo in Warren MI. I was referred to Ben by a friend of mine who has done several real estate transactions with Ben Lang in the past. Despite the fact that the housing market is rather “poor” in my area, Ben helped me sell my condo as a short sale in a reasonable time frame and got me a great deal. I found his follow-up and customer service skills to be impeccable. Ben was available day or night, and never seemed bothered by any questions I had no matter how silly they may have been. Ben Lang is exactly what you want when looking for a Realtor. Now, I look forward to working with him on buying a house.”
