Possible 6 bedrooms. $2,745,000 Although a garage is attached to the home, it is not considered part of the home's square footage. That is because only livable space is considered in the square footage calculation. When a home's square footage is advertised, the figure usually comes from previous sales, perhaps as far back as the builder. It is best to rely on a licensed appraiser to recalculate the square footage of a house. I signed a listing agreement, but am having second thoughts about selling. How do I cancel and will it cost me anything? TOTAL SERENITY Price reduced to sell! One of the most beautiful lots in Oakland County, 1.45 acres of wooded property with sweeping vistas.

Walk out lower level features private suite & large family room. $899,900 It should be pretty simple. Just tell the agent you have changed your mind and decided not to sell after all. Since your cooperation is required to sell the house, most agents will not give you a hard time about canceling. Their hope is that when you later decide to sell, you will get back in touch with them. However, if you attempt to put it back on the market during the contracted listing period using another agent, your original agent will attempt to enforce their contract.
