Source: The 2008 National Association of Realtors® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, based on thousands of responses to a questionnaire mailed to a large national sample of consumers, is the latest in a series of NAR surveys evaluating demographics, marketing, preferences and experiences of home buyers and sellers.

So Ann Arbor Real Estate is still a very local business with our Ann Arbor Area Board of Realtors local MLS search giving photos, videos, tours and mapping as a top resource.

Our Reator.com is enhanced with showcase listings so each seller has every advantage with photos taken by a professional photographer.  Our Keller Williams company site is national so every seller gets another advantage by cross linking by other agents, individual companies and regions helping search engine optimization.
