Winter has returned to western Michigan. Spring Lake and Grand Haven Michigan are expecting very frigid weather this weekend. Take plenty of precautions to be safe while enjoying the out of doors.
It take very little time with the extreme cold temperatures to get frost bite. Be especially careful when young children and pets are involved. They forget about the cold temperatures when outdoors. Do not let them be outside for more than a few minutes at a time.
Also remember to keep your car full of gas. You never know when you may experience an emergency road hazard. When plenty of gasoline you will be able to stay warm until help arrives.
Make sure too, when leaving home you have your cell phones fully charged in case of an emergency.
Just because it is going to be so cold, does not mean you cannot enjoy our winter wonderland here in Spring Lake and Grand Haven Michigan. It just means use common sense and dress appropriately.

Real Estate is still a hot commodity in the Grand Haven and Spring Lake Michigan. With real estate being hit hard in the eastern side of the state, homes in this area are still selling according to one real estate company here.
My daughter and her husband just listed their home with Greenridge Reality, Inc. of Grand Haven, Michigan. The same day the sign went out there were already people wanting to view the house. This was a good indication already.
This past Tuesday, January 16, the realtors from the office came through the house and gave very positive feedback. Terry Rutherford the listing agent has been very reassuring to the owners.
Yesterday, January 16, the house was put on their Internet page for viewing. They have done a great job at capturing the charm of the home. They show a 360% viewing of the pertinent rooms. Really nice touch!
The home has only been on the market for a little over a week so not much is to be expected yet. The owners are very pleased to say the least so far.
Greenridge Realty, Inc. has been very professional and the home owners are very convienced it will sell quickly. Then it will be time to shop for the new home.
I will keep you updated as to how the sale progresses. We will see if Greenridge Realty Inc. lives up to their promises.
