About me

Caleb Raymaker

I'm a Realtor with Century 21 Signature Realty in Bay City, working Bay City, Saginaw, and the Tri-Cities area.

Real estate runs in my family. I started serving as a director on the Bay County Board of Realtors at 22.

I work with buyers using FHA and MSHDA loans, and sellers with estate and river-frontage homes. I'm comfortable negotiating inspections and appraisals so your deal gets to closing.

If waiting or fixing something first is better for you, I'll say so, even if it means I don't get the listing.

Common questions

Straight answers

Who is a realtor in Bay City, MI who handles FHA and MSHDA loans?

I do. I'm Caleb Raymaker with Century 21 Signature Realty in Bay City, and I handle FHA and MSHDA loan deals in Bay City, Saginaw, and the Tri-Cities area. Call me at (989) 280-9294.

What happens if my appraisal comes in low?

There are usually four options: renegotiate the price, the buyer covers some or all of the gap in cash, challenge the appraisal with better comparable sales, or walk away if your contract has an appraisal contingency. Which one makes sense depends on the numbers and the contract. I'll go through them with you.

How do inspection negotiations work?

After the inspection, the buyer can ask the seller to make repairs, give a credit at closing, or lower the price. The seller can say yes, say no, or counter. I handle these negotiations on both the buying and selling side.

Can you help me sell an inherited or estate home?

Yes, I handle estate listings. Before we list, check with your attorney to confirm who has legal authority to sell the property.

Yes. I handle river-frontage listings in the Bay City area.

Should I fix things before I sell?

Sometimes. If waiting or fixing a problem first would be better for you, I'll tell you, even if that means I don't get the listing right now.
