This will be available for homes bought until December 2009,

unless Congress extends it.  There is the possibility of using

the $8000 tax credit towards your down payment.

Video Tour of Picturesque Rockford Michigan

Rockford Michigan is a picturesque small town north of

 Grand Rapids, Michigan.

It has a vibrant downtown shopping area with boutique stores,

restaurants, and a beautiful downtown park, Pebbles Park. 

Rockford is located right on the Rogue River.  Though it is small,

it has many attractions and large suburban housing areas

surrounding the downtown area.

We hope you enjoy our video tour of Rockford Michigan.

Rockford Michigan video

Rockford has a large public school system with state of the art schools.

Wolverine Worldwide is also located in Rockford on the Rogue River and

employs many people in this area. If you aren’t familiar with their name,

they make Merrell, Hush Puppy, Sebago, Track’nTrail, Hy-Test, Patagonia,

Cat, Harley Davidson, and Bates Brand Shoes and clothing.  They have an

outlet store right next to the factory and that is always a good place to

go shopping in downtown Rockford.
