It's no secret that Michigan's economy is suffering. The state that is ranked among the highest in the country in unemployment, those living below the poverty line, and layoffs is in need of an economic boost. It's also no secret that real estate is a huge indicator in any economy, with the regular ebb and flow of it being a focal point of many state and local governments. This is due not only to the immense amount of money involved in each transaction, but also the fact that as people move into more homes in an area, the bigger boost an economy recieves out of the pockets of its residents.
Pretty Michigan Homes, Metro Detroit's up and coming real estate firm, has taken the initiative to help rebuild the economy and the neighborhoods in and around Macomb County, by taking older, antiquated homes and "rehabbing" them; revamping the inside and out, to help beautify homes and neighborhoods across southeastern Michigan. This form of rehabbing isn't like the way other firms may do them, replacing a few things here and there and marketing it as 'like new'. These homes are gutted, rebuilt, and redecorated by professional construction companies, and the end result is a beautiful home with all the amenities and new surfaces, cabinetry, and structural replacements one would expect from a recently built home. These repairs do cost more than the usual rehab, but for Pretty Michigan Homes, the result is a greater reward than just the money.
The idea is to give a jumpstart to the aforementioned beleaguered economy, spur some interest in the area, and hopefully create a larger draw and better reputation for excellence in the area's homes and neighborhoods. Philanthropy and realty have come together in this firm to create a sort of alchemy, one which the whole of Michigan real estate should take a note from, and help to give back to the people that they truly need: the buyer.
