Michigan State FAQs

Is Michigan a judicial or non-judicial state?

Non-Judicial

In a non-judicial foreclosure state, the lender does not need to go through the court system in order to foreclose on a property. This process can be quicker and less expensive for the lender compared to a judicial foreclosure.

As a real estate investor, it is important to understand the differences between judicial and non-judicial states because it can affect the amount of time and money it takes to foreclose on a property. It can also impact the availability of properties that are being foreclosed on and the process of purchasing those properties.

What is the process of closing on a property in Michigan?

Title companies, lenders, real estate agents, and attorneys may conduct closings. Conveyance is by warranty deed which must give the full consideration involved or be accompanied by an affidavit which does. Many transactions involve land contracts. Mortgages are the security instruments. Private foreclosure is permitted; it requires advertising for 4 consecutive weeks and a sale at least 28 days following the date of first publication. The redemption period ranges from 1 to 12 months. Michiganders use ALTA policies and endorsements. Buyers generally pay closing costs and the lender’s title insurance premium, and sellers pay the state transfer tax and the owner’s title insurance premium. Those property taxes which pay for city and school expenses fall due July 1st; others (county taxes, township taxes, and some school taxes) fall due on the first of December. In many tax jurisdictions, taxpayers may opt to pay their taxes in two equal installments without penalty.

In Michigan, does a property management company require a real estate broker's license?

YES. Property management is considered a real estate activity under existing Michigan real estate licensing laws. Under the Michigan Public Act, anyone who engages in property management must have a real estate broker's license, unless they are a real estate salesperson employed by a real estate broker to engage in property management. Property management is defined as: the leasing or renting, or the offering to lease or rent, of real property of others for a fee, commission, compensation, or other valuable consideration pursuant to a property management employment contract. However, if the activities provided do not include leasing or renting services, a license is not required.

Are there any exceptions to the requirement that a property manager have a broker's license in Michigan?

Yes. For example, direct employees of a property owner engaging in property management for that owner need not be licensed. For more information about these and other Michigan property management requirements and exceptions, please contact the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Before hiring a property manager to manage your Michigan rental property, you should always check that he or she is licensed appropriately. You can check the license status of Michigan property managers and the Michigan's License Verification website.
