Note: This advice is explicitly for every excited, nervous, idealistic, forward-thinking individual who has ever gotten ahead by taking a giant leap of faith.

There are people who accomplish the impossible because they simply don’t know that some things can’t be done. They’re such optimistic, humble, creative, and hardworking individuals that, when they put the weight of their commitment behind an endeavor, they’re almost always rewarded with a positive outcome.

Darren Audia is one such person.

In an era when other real estate agents are singing the blues, Darren and his Audia Group colleagues are taking potential homebuyers on unrivaled home-hunting tours — and, one by one, they’re eliminating the glut in the area’s housing market. “So many people are worried about the housing market,” says Darren, “but inspired home-seekers are using the current conditions to their advantage.”

There are desirable homes in every neighborhood that are priced to sell. And anyone looking to help their young adult children acquire their first home, anyone whose life situation requires an alternative residence, anyone who’s looking for investment properties or who has the flexibility of buying a home better suited to their lifestyle, with the luxury of selling an existing home later when prices rise again — will ultimately be rewarded for taking a giant leap of faith. 

“The thing is, home values will rise again,” Darren says. “Historically they always do, after corrections such as this. Do you want to buy now, when home prices are low and you have the most to gain, or do you want to wait and forfeit some of the sweetest returns?”

For all the importance put on the financial aspects of owning a home, it’s also important to recognize the pure joy associated with the home-buying journey.

“I’ll never forget the thrill I felt when I purchased my first home ... the pleasure of dreaming about all the things my wife and I were going to do to personalize it, and the happiness we experienced knowing that this was where we would start our family,” Darren says. “I don’t understand why some people continue living in a home they’ve outgrown, or why people who have sadly gone through a divorce choose to bunk with a friend. Outstanding homes are available in all price ranges. What would make you feel better than having your own place, a space where you’re empowered? Somewhere where you can start fresh in an environment that reflects the new you?”

Audia gently encourages people to get on with their lives. “Give yourself permission to use the current housing conditions to go forward,” he says.

It should be noted that, while it’s important for each prospective buyer to carefully evaluate their financial situation before buying a home, it’s also true that many people are in the securest situations of their lifetime. Those who are neither at the top nor the bottom of the company ladder are generally the least susceptible to layoffs. And those who have retired or who have taken worthwhile buyouts typically have money available for investment. “If you’re at a crossroads, that’s exciting,” Darren says. “You don’t want to wait 10 years before enjoying your new life.”

Fellow realtors Nick DiPonio, Dan Korzeniewski, Gail Nettle, and Mary Becker echo Darren Audia’s positive outlook and wholeheartedly believe that those who embrace Michigan today will look back on their foresight with respect and appreciation. There’s so much this area has to offer – the best golf, beautiful lakes and nature trails, a metropolitan mecca for sporting and cultural enthusiasts, plus world-class medical facilities and shopping galore. The real estate agents at the Audia Group are determined to help each homeowner find a home that’s full of potential and a locale that’s worthy of their dreams.

Financially speaking, the Audia advantage puts $5 per $1,000 of the home’s selling price back into the hands of the buyer. For example, on a $200,000 home, homeowners receive $1,000 at the end of closing to use toward a new couch, to spend on the kids, for charity — anything they wish. It’s the Audia way of welcoming homeowners to their new surroundings, while saying thank you for giving the company the opportunity to help them fulfill their dreams.

This year, Darren Audia will put more than 42,000 miles on his car to greet potential homeowners at the door of their future homes. Here’s hoping you’ll be one of them.
