Real Estate is and always has been about location, location, location. The only person who will tell you location does not matter is the one who is not a local expert. This is especially true in Livingston County where ALL of the surrounding counties have far greater population density, older services, aging schools, varied degrees of local resources and property values vastly differently than neighboring areas.  Livingston county is a growing suburban county yielding excellent home values, excellent resources and planning, and a large and growing base of consumer services. It takes a full time, local expert to navigate and make the best of your property search.
