October 22, 2007. Joseph Merkel closed the sale of 362 acres of rolling farmland near Howell, Michigan, today. The land went for $1,400,000 and its future is as an organic farm. This sale took a lot of negotiating and Joseph did a superb job of representing our clients.
In fact, good negotiating on behalf of our clients is part of the Sperry Van Ness culture.
October 15, 2007. Joseph Merkel listed a 4,800 square foot industrial building today. It is located just east of Chelsea, which has M-52 running north and south and Old US-12 running east and west.
The building is located west of Fletcher Road Exit 162, on Luick Drive; an I-94 Service Road. That gives it plenty of exposure to I-94 with a traffic count in the neighborhood of 61,000 cars per day.
Most American jobs come from small businesses, not major corporations, and this building is well suited for a small business, such as a tool and die shop.
With its 14-foot high ceilings and loading dock w/ leveler, this building is also well suited for an investor, too. Market rents are estimated at $4.13 per square foot.
If your business is currently located in an area that leaves you longing for small town life, take a look at Chelsea and then take a look at this ultra-clean shop.

The unique thing about Sperry Van Ness is that the company, and its advisors, is not selfish or greedy. While not required to do so, the advisors often work in teams. So, if you or someone you know wishes to sell an industrial property, doesn’t it make sense to engage an international real estate brokerage firm where the listing broker is not an individual…or even a team from a single office…but may actually be a team from multiple offices and several different states in our union?
An example of that pairing up will soon be seen when; along with an advisor from Pennsylvania, Gary co-lists an industrial building in Redford, Michigan.

When you go to the Listing tab on our web site, take a look at the choice of vacant land listings; everything from a small country building site to 161 acres on a lake; from commercial development land to a secluded 160 acre hunt club in the middle of a State Forest. When it comes to vacant land, listen to the advice of Mark Twain:
“Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.”
