The Rolodex · People Behind the Closings
A house is a team sport. After twelve years and 130 closings in Oakland and Macomb counties, Raquel Delly has a short list of lenders, inspectors, attorneys, title companies, contractors, and movers she trusts with her clients' money and moving boxes. She matches the right professional to each situation, and clients are always free to bring their own.
Position 01
The mortgage underwrites everything, so Raquel sends clients to lenders who answer the phone, close on time, and know Michigan's programs cold, including MSHDA. Ask yours: local underwriting? What is the real rate sheet? What happens if the appraisal comes in light?
Position 02
A thorough, plain-spoken home inspector is worth ten times the fee. Look for someone who inspects like they are buying, documents everything, and takes your calls while you are on the roof with them. Raquel keeps a list of inspectors who find the truth on the first sweep.
Position 03
Michigan operates on attorney review in many transactions, and an experienced real estate attorney reads the offer documents with an eye for what favors whom. For estates, trusts, and seller-financed deals, legal counsel is not optional; it is the foundation.
Position 04
Title work is where the closing actually happens: the search, the commitment, the numbers, the wire. A responsive closer keeps closing day boring, which is the goal. Your agent's preference list reflects closers who have never lost a ball.
Position 05
For prep work before a sale or repairs after an inspection, vetted contractors who show up when they say they will are the difference between a smooth closing and a stalled one. Raquel keeps a list for everything from punch lists to full kitchens.
Position 06
Moving day runs on trust. Raquel's relocation clients get movers who handle stairs, grandparents, and pianos with equal care, plus storage connections when the closings do not line up perfectly.
The Promise · How the List Works
Every professional on Raquel's list earned the spot by performing well for her actual clients, and none of them pay to be there. Referrals reflect experience, not compensation, and you keep final choice of lender, inspector, attorney, and everyone else on your transaction. The list is a starting point, never a requirement.
