Freshly painted and ready to move in to before Thanksgiving Dinner. From the Front Door you can see straight through the Dining Area and out the French Doors onto the Deck. The Kitchen is small, making the preparation of a meal energy efficient with few steps needed.

I have Saved My Money, I Have Good Credit and I Want A House! Nathan knew we were in a Buyer’s Market. He has worked hard and saved his money, has good credit and now he wanted to buy a home… The area he chose to look for a home was large. He works at the north end of the County and all his family lives in the South end of the County, so his options were pretty much open. Nathan had been pre-approved and knew what he could spend. The problem was, the homes in his price range were not acceptable living quarters. The property conditions varied from horrible, run down to, this could work... but he just wasn’t feeling it. In the meantime, I received a call from a distressed home owner who had done his homework on the internet. I have written extensively about Short Sales, and the options a ...

FROM CLIENT TO BEST FRIEND Kim Stanely was searching the internet for a home and came across one that my office had listed. She had done her home work, she knew what she wanted and how to find it. When we met something just clicked, we became friend right away. At one of our showings I had my granddaughter and she had her daughter it took 60 seconds for them to become BFF's and that night we all went trick -or- treating. We all had a blast. There was a foreclosed house just around the corner from my house, not the location she thought she wanted but we took a look and yes, this was "the one!" So now her and her daughter Kait are part of the family and after telling her several time she would be a great real estate agent she is now a member of the Elkhart County Subdivision LLC family. T...

The Landlord Calls The Shots! And Makes A Lot Money Too… Eric Miller is a co-worker at a local RV company and he approached me one day telling me his Landlord decided he was going to stop renting their small house. Neither Eric nor his wife Amanda have ever owned a home and didn’t know the first thing about the process. So right away we sat down and went over what type of home they were looking for and started our search for their new home. Oh, did I mention they also had their first baby on the way? They were under a lot of stress with both things happening at the same time. Eric and Amanda were very comfortable working with me because, they knew me and that I would be honest with them, up front and we would have fun. Knowing the process and what to expect took a lot of the stress away...

Nick and Nicole were First Time Home Owners and had no idea about the process or even where to start. Since Nicole and I have worked together for quite a while and when they were ready to start looking they came to me for help. I explained the steps we needed to take and then began. We looked at several homes that were on her want list and couldn’t find what they were looking for, so we took a short break. Once we restarted again it didn’t take too long before we found “The One”. Had Nicole and Nick chosen another Real Estate Agent the process would have been slower while they got to know them, like them and finally trust the agent and their advice. We already had a working relationship, trust and likeability factor in place. We solved the overwhelming number of factors involved in deci...

How Can You Tell it's Fall? Swimming Pool Homes are GONE! We have had a very mild summer in Elkhart, Indiana this year.  I think we only had two days at 90 degrees and believe me, people were complaining! We came off of a very cold and very long winter.  We had snow on the ground from October until May.  you would think people with swimming pools would be  selling them for non-use this year.  Not so!   If a home with a swimming pool is on your shopping list, listen up!  We have exactly two available for sale and they are priced at $124,900 and $192,500.  Both are located in Spring Brooke Subdivision in the Southeastern portion of our County.  Give me a call at 574-304-7148 and let's see if they are where you want to live!

Goshen,IN ....a hot ticket on a Frozen Weekend. Despite the frozen temperatures and threat of Blizzard conditions, Goshen, Indiana held the 7th annual Fire and Ice Festival in downtown Goshen, Indiana. Hundreds of people braved the bitter cold to take part in the Ice Carving competitions. The various sculptures spent the day carving their artistic creations, while the public look on. Goshen has their monthly "First Fridays" celebration with this month as no exception.  The public can vote on the various sculptures on the First Fridays Facebook page.  Monday evening will determine how many likes each piece received.  Awards will be given to the top 3 most liked sculptures. I stopped by and took a few pictures of some of the works or art to share with you.There were quite a few in the com...

A Verbal FSBO Contract, Uhmmm, What? My Preferred Mortgage lender, Roger Maxwell with Guaranteed Rate Mortgage called me a while back and said, I have a possible referral for you, but before you get too excited, I just want to let you know these folks have a verbal contract on a For Sale By Owner home that they are currently renting.  At this point they are qualified to buy but are under obligation to buy the home they are living in.  Right now they need some answers about the process and to know if the home will appraise on what the Owners are asking for it. When it came down to the negations the Seller's told the Buyer's that they were not paying for anything, they would have to do everything themselves. Mr & Mrs FSBO said they were losing money as is and cannot even pay for the prope...
