- Unusual deal types like land contracts, estate sales or tax foreclosed homes

- The age of the home: the typical Southfield home was built around 1969, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time
Before you hire in Southfield
Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes
The typical home in Southfield was built around 1969. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.
Mid-century and newer systems
Most homes here date from 1969 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.
Permits: check with the Southfield building department before work starts.
How to compare closing attorney quotes
- Ask whether the fee is flat and whether closing attendance is included.
- Ask how often the attorney handles residential closings in your county.

- Check the attorney in the State Bar of Michigan member directory.
