I'm looking for a 3-4 br House in the Princeton, IN area to rent for at least a year and maybe longer. If you know of any please let me know. Mike Garrett 07/30/2008

Just to introduce myself to the community.  I'm a retired UPSer and I've been working in sales since retiring in 1999.  I worked in a car dealership until 2005 then I began a real estate career.  I have lived and worked in the southern Indiana area my entire life.  I worked in Vanderburgh County and lived in Gibson County.  That is why when you search for Gibson County Homes you will find mikegarretthomes.com.  The county has several small towns; Princeton, Ft. Branch, Owensville, Patoka, Francisco, Oakland City and Haubstadt.  The big draw for employment is Toyota Manufacturing, their suppliers, coal mining and agriculture. I take pride in providing a high level of service in a personal yet professional manner and I look forward to all referrals. Mike Garrett mikegarretthomes.com 07/11/2008
