Kimberly Creamer was recently
appointed to the ALC at Keller Williams Realty. This is a group comprised
of agents with production in the top 20% of the company. This committee
serves as a liaison for the board of directors, owners and agents of Keller
Williams Realty. It is a wonderful opportunity to help establish company
policies and direct company growth. Kimberly is excited and honored to be
on this committee and looks forward to helping Keller Williams obtain #1
(currently #2) position in the real estate industry.
September 9, 2012:
My sincere appreciation to all my customers and
clients who helped to make 2012 a banner year!
I sold just under 3
million dollars of real estate and am currently ranked 6th at
Keller Williams Realty – Greater Grand Traverse. Our firm increased sales
56% from 2011; we rank fifth in our local MLS system; and our market share was
up 14% from the prior year.
In comparison to the top ten firms in our MLS
board, Keller Williams ratios were the highest! I am so pleased with the
decision I made two years ago to join Keller Williams Realty.
My goal for
2013 is over 5 million in volume of sales and expanded services and marketing
for my clients. THANK YOU for your participation in my success and for
your referrals.

The traditional spring-summer homebuying season has begun. The national housing market remains brutal, affected by high inventory, high foreclosure rates and a historically high level of underwater mortgages. Without a doubt, it is a buyer's market. But is there anything sellers can do to get the best price for their house and in the shortest amount of time? Click here for full article

Buying is Cheaper Than Renting in Nearly All Major Cities
Home buying is the smarter choice than renting, according to Trulia’s Winter 2012 Rent vs. Buy Index.Buying a home is more affordable than renting in 98 of the nation’s 100 largest metro areas, according to the index, which tracks asking prices for rental units compared to for-sale homes in major metro areas.
The only two metros out of the 100 tracked where renting was found to be the better deal: Honolulu and San Francisco. Still, the index notes that if you plan to stay in those markets more than five years, you might still be better off owning than renting in those markets too.
Falling home values and low mortgage rates have made home ownership more affordable. Meanwhile, rents have been on the rise.
“As rents rise and prices stagnate, home ownership is becoming even more affordable, but rising rents create a dilemma for people who can’t afford to buy yet,” says Jed Kolko, Trulia’s chief economist. “Rising rents make it harder for people to save for a down payment, which is the biggest barrier to buying a home that aspiring home owners face.”
Top 10 Metros to Buy vs. Rent
1. Detroit
2. Oklahoma City, Okla.
3. Dayton, Ohio
4. Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich.
5. Toledo, Ohio
6. Grand Rapids, Mich.
7. Cleveland, Ohio
8. Atlanta
9. Gary, Ind.
10. Memphis, Tenn.
