Michigan Real Estate

Announcing my new website ...

Experienced Home Loans is a website dedicated to the people of Michigan. There has been enough negative talk about Michigan in the national media, local media, and among those who live here. I say enough is enough, it's time to be proud of Michigan!

Before telling you more about this exciting site, let me give you a brief background of myself that may explain a lot. I'm senior loan officer at a prominent bank. I got into the business with intentions on doing most (if not all) of my business over the Internet, and that is exactly what I've done. I have been writing loans all over the country. I've written loans in California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, New York, New Jersey ... you get the picture. Not much in Michigan though.

At one of our sales meetings towards the end of the year, everybody was down in the dumps, business was getting slow, and everyone was becoming more interested in the Internet and how to draw more business in from outside the state. I started to share some of my ideas, and as I did, the idea that I wanted to focus exclusively on Michigan hit me like a bolt of energizing lightening!

First of all, I like it here. It's my home. I like the outdoors, the lakes, the snowmobiling, and the culture. I'm a banker. I have a degree in finance and I trained on Wall Street, but you know what? I don't wear, no, I don't own a red "power" tie. I don't even own a suit that fits me. Gasp! On a Saturday afternoon, I'm wearing jeans, a sweatshirt, boots, and a Lion's cap. I'm just a regular guy. And that's the amazing beauty of our Michigan culture! Nobody expects us to "look" or "play" our roles all the time. Nobody cares! We leave that hoopla for LA/Hollywood and New York.

We have one of the more, if not most relaxed cultures in America!

So while my competition moves to gain business outside Michigan, I'm moving to gain business inside Michigan! My start is the website. Yes, it's generally a mortgage website, but isn't that what you'd want if you're looking for a mortgage? What's different starts with its theme. Say what you will, but Detroit is the heart and soul of Michigan. We love cars! We love trucks! We love horsepower!

Next, you'll find a section dedicated to real estate listings in Michigan. Yes, I know there are approximately 10 million places to list your home today on the Internet, but how many of those are hosted by someone dedicated to the success of Michigan? Just one that I can think of ... Michigan Realty Listings. Oh, and by the way ... your listings are free! Just sign up and go for it! And while it may be in beta stage now, don't let that stop you from posting your listings. This is a community effort, we're all helping each other.

Let me just say it. Please post your listings on my site. It would really help me make this successful, and I want you to know that your feedback is invaluable too, so please email me any thought you may have.

You will benefit too! It'll provide you with additional links back to your main page, increased exposure of yourself and your properties, and lot's of good karma. I promise.

I have a section dedicated to the many fun things Michigan has to offer (facts and trivia too). If you have any ideas, or stuff you think should be added, just let me know. Send an email (via "contact" on the site). And don't let a "commercial" idea stop you. If it represents Michigan well, I'll put it on the site - free. I can't stress this enough - this is about the community! It's about Michigan! I make money helping good people get good loans, not selling web space.

Since I'm still in beta format, please be patient because many more things are coming. Remember, I'm a banker, not a web master. I have some special ideas that will really help Realtors, and I have some awesome ideas that will help Independent Sellers too. You two aren't in competition with each other. Get over it. We all live in the same community, so let's band together, do business with each other, and turn this economy around!
