Our Listings of REO or Bank Owned Properties For Sale are selling Quickly in NW Indiana once Priced right and ready for Market!
Our Listings of REO or Bank Owned Properties For Sale are selling quickly in Northwest Indiana.
However – there was much time, energy and effort by us behind the scenes working collaboratively with the REO specialist at the bank which took months PRIOR to this happening!
This included:
Doing Broker Price Opinion’s in both an “as-is” condition AND another BPO with repair estimates included.
This required meeting multiple licensed contractors at the property in order to provide detailed written quotes on any Repairs or Mold remediation.
Submitting these to the REO Manager (on Bank Forms) and awaiting the file to be returned from committee for decision on what work will actually be doneand the decision on listing price, takes persistent follow up skills.
Detailed Photos (before and after) and invoicingmust be kept & shared with the bank contact.
Also, the REO department has specific Bank Contracts and Addendum’s that differ from our State or Local Board Real Estate agreements and these must be reviewed carefully.
Sometimes, customary fee’s like Title Insurance, are NOT customary , but negotiable!
Financing REO Properties is another topic in and of itself these days 
Mortgage departments familiar with this ever growing trend of Real Estate sales are sharing their specific requirements for internal financing of REO properties which may or may not differ from their Local lending branches for conventional home sales.
All in all, in our opinion here are the keys to a quick REO sale ->
- Competitive Market Price- a Real Estate Broker experienced in BPO’s can help set this!
- Decent Property Condition – a home in which health or safety concerns have been addressed & corrected sells quicker!
- Mass Marketing efforts / Internet sydication of the listing from day one of going on the market- multiple showings and competition among qualified buyers yields better offers (a Certified Residential Specialist can help with this
- Excellent communication,attention to details, and meticulous follow through by the Listing Agent (s) of Record are needed in this current market to get deals to the closing table!
If you are a Bank or Lender who has Inventory of Foreclosed Homes in NW Indiana and are looking? to 
move them quickly, please call us for a confidential consultation. References available on request.

Fall is a Great Time to List Your Home For Sale…..
Serious Buyers Relocate Year Round !
Many people have the idea to “wait” until spring again to put their home on the market.
With that in mind, the competition for homes priced well and staged to sell is less in Fall than in Spring when many more come on the market.
If you are having thoughts about selling your home – why wait and risk Interest rates to go up ? (less people will be able to afford your home if that happens).
Give us a call today or click this link to schedule a Free Comparable Market Analysis.
Have a wonderful Fall Season!

Hammond, Indiana..Make This City in Northwest Indiana (Lake County, IN) Your Home Sweet Home!
I went to High School in Hammond, IN even though I lived on Chicago’s South Side, Bishop Noll Institute had
a great reputation for being a College Prep School and was only 20 minutes by Car from Home !
Since Hammond is so Close to The Illinois State Line (Border City) many people choose to live there even if
they work in Chicago-land. Commute is feasible by Major Toll roads/Expressways or South Shore Train !
The City of Hammond has a
College Bound Scholarship Program for Hammond
residents in which children of Homeowners can apply for
money that the city grants to qualified students that
aides with their childrens tuition costs!
There are satellite Campuses in Hammond for Collegiate education – I’ve attended the conveniently located
Purdue Calumet in the past for classes ! 
Our Favorite place for Jumbo Fried Shrimp in all of
NW Indiana is Bob’s Shrimp. It was around way back
when I was in High School & still offers HUGE delicious
shrimp to go by the pound!
(Bob’s Shrimp @ 4748 Calumet Ave. Phone 937-1041)
Affordable Housing still exists in Hammond & nearby Hessville as well !
Consider Making Hammond, Indiana your next Home Sweet Home and give us a call @ 219-405-1232 to help
you find a Home that suits your needs & budget! For more homes for sale in NW Indiana visit our website !
