Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying, selling, and working with Joshua Ransom.
What kind of approach does Josh take?
Systems first. Joshua focuses on reducing friction and automating the busywork. Alfred can take the first pass so you are not playing phone tag for a simple question.
Is Josh a broker?
No. Joshua Ransom is a licensed salesperson with Mid-Mitten Realty. All licensed brokerage services, transaction oversight, and supervision are provided through:
Per Michigan MCL 339.2512e advertising standards, the employing broker's name (Mid-Mitten Realty) is displayed prominently in equal or larger type size than the licensee's name.
How do I go see a house?
To tour a home, call Mid-Mitten Realty at (989) 401-0027, call Joshua at (810) 584-5267, or connect with Alfred to request a showing or open house.
Under national NAR settlement rules, all MLS participants are legally required to have a signed, written buyer representation agreement in place prior to physically touring or walking through any home. While Alfred or our office can schedule the showing appointment, national rules require this written agreement before stepping foot on the property.
Facing foreclosure or sheriff sale? If you are dealing with a pre-foreclosure timeline, missed mortgage payments, or an upcoming sheriff's sale, do not wait on a standard showing request. Call Josh right away at (810) 584-5267, or ask Alfred to notify Josh immediately with a summary of your situation for direct review.
Are real estate commissions fixed, and how does agent compensation work?
No. Real estate broker fees, commissions, and compensation rates are fully negotiable and are never set by law, regulation, or real estate board policy.
Under NAR settlement rules, offers of compensation from sellers or listing brokers are no longer permitted to be published on the MLS. Before touring properties, our written buyer agreement transparently establishes our agreed representation fee. During purchase negotiations, we routinely negotiate seller concessions or seller-paid broker compensation in purchase agreements, enabling buyers to offset closing costs and broker fees without surprise out-of-pocket expenses.
Who do you represent?
Through this site (joshuaransom.com), Joshua Ransom acts strictly as a licensed real estate salesperson affiliated with Mid-Mitten Realty, providing fiduciary representation to retail buyers and sellers on the open market.
If a homeowner is seeking an off-market direct cash acquisition, Subject-To financing, or seller-financed terms where Joshua acts as the principal investor rather than a representing agent, they must cross over to the Terms Real Estate platform. The two funnels are kept completely distinct: fiduciary retail agency through Mid-Mitten Realty, and principal acquisitions through Terms Real Estate.
What exactly can Alfred do?
Alfred is our 24/7 digital concierge. He is available around the clock to parse retail search criteria, answer basic property and neighborhood questions, explain Michigan statutory foreclosure and redemption timelines, and route showing requests directly to Joshua.
If Joshua is out in the field touring properties, meeting with clients, or attending a closing, Alfred ensures you never feel ignored or stuck waiting on phone tag. Alfred takes the initial pass, organizes your situation, and notifies Joshua with a structured brief so he can follow up promptly with complete context. Alfred is a digital assistant—he is not a licensed broker or agent and does not give legal, tax, or mortgage advice.
Do you put listings on the MLS?
Yes, when we list the traditional way. Active market listings will also appear on this site once Mid-Mitten MLS access is connected. If you want representation without listing on the MLS, say that when you reach out.
What if I want an investment or creative deal?
Off-market and investment inventory is on Terms Real Estate. Use Investment Opportunities on the Inventory page.
What areas do you cover?
Flint, Genesee County, Grand Blanc, Fenton, Saginaw, Detroit, and the rest of Southeast Michigan.
