Buying Process

These Videos Cover a Comparison of Renting Vs Buying, The Home Buying Process, Timeline, Pre-Approvals and Things to Avoid After Applying for a Mortgage.

Your First Step: Contact Lenders


I Can Recommend Lenders and Request Lenders Contact You if You Request Me to Do So.

I cannot provide you with a recommendation on the best loan program for you, only provide an overview of different programs that are available.

I cannot tell you if you qualify for a loan, only provide lender information.

I can aide you in ensuring a lender is conducting themselves professionally and represent you in the instance you have been discriminated against by a lender.

I cannot apply for a loan on your behalf. You must complete this step of home ownership on your own.

After you have a pre-approval, your home search can start!

This is my area of specialty for home buyers! For information directly from MDARD on these programs and what qualifications are required visit their website below.

Habitat and Wetland Considerations for Land Owners

Conservation Reserve Program

Provides a voluntary program to agricultural producers to help them safeguard environmentally sensitive land. Producers enrolled in CRP plant long-term, resource-conserving covers to improve the quality of water, control soil erosion, and enhance wildlife habitat. In return, CCC provides participants rental payments and cost-share assistance. Contract duration is between 10 and 15 years. CRP was authorized by section 1231 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended (Pub. L. 99-198)(16 U.S.C. 3831, et seq.).

Michigan Vernal Pool Partnership

Information provided by Michigan Vernal Pool Patrol Partnerships is available to provide land owners with wetland identification and measures that can be taken to ensure these habitats are preserved on home owner property.

Grassroots Water Protection Program

The Source Water Protection Program (SWPP) is a joint project with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) and the National Rural Water Association (NRWA), a non-profit water and wastewater utility membership organization. The SWPP is designed to help prevent pollution of surface and ground water used as the primary source of drinking water by rural residents.

State and Federal Wetland Regulations




State and Federal Wetland Regulations were instated to protect these key habitats in the environment. The responsibility of land owners and community building plans to ensure these habitats are protected were passed into law by Michigan Legislature. Information on these laws can be found on Michigan.gov.
