Navigating Real Estate in Jackson

Success stories in Jackson confirm that positioning your property to be shovel-ready and primed to house a new company or business venture is not only the quickest step towards a sale/lease but a solid long-term move to ensure investment return and profit.

As a representative of Swisher Commercial in Jackson County, Kyle Bamm continues to be a resource in the face of development difficulties and positive presence within a frustrated business community.
A recent Mlive article written by Will Forgrave gives an updated illustration of the real estate difficulties that Jackson faces. With a multitude of properties for sale that lack productive zoning, adequate utility hook-ups or attractive business communities/parks to engage, the township, city officials and the local business network grapples with the question, "How much do we invest in these properties in hopes that they appeal to prospective companies?". Forgrave writes, "few large companies are interested in a move to Jackson County, and the ones that show initial interest rarely pull the trigger after a visit. Of 75 companies with $1 million or more in hand and an interest in mid-Michigan, three resulted in visits to Jackson County properties in the last two years, and none resulted in a purchase. There has been growth and development in Jackson County, with roughly $206 million invested in jobs and equipment in 2014, the most in 13 years, but its been driven solely by companies who already call Jackson home."

Without the allure of property prepared for immediate development, Jackson County will continue to be overlooked. If the private property owners and city officials cannot decide on calculated investments to appeal to businesses that can feed the local economy, the pay off and benefits will not likely be seen in the future. In order to understand the potential of your property and how to position it as a prime opportunity, the encouragement is to contact the professional that understands all sides of the story: your local real estate agent.

Kyle Bamm has been an active member  of the Jackson and Southeast Michigan real estate community since 2000. With a broad range of service options as a broker and property manager, Bamm has successfully worked with city officials on tax issues, building code requirements, assessments and future development. Through past deals, he has established favorable relationships with the neighborhood and economic division in the city of Jackson. This positions Bamm to be a wealth of knowledge in the objectives of Jackson city/county and can assist in coordinating relationships between the client and integral members of the municipality.
