We’ve been blessed to have started off the New Year 2010 with sales of our listed properties in NW Indiana in Lake, Porter, and La Porte Counties and have more pending real estate closings as well.

Ironically, we still get calls from prospective buyers wanting to see homes that have accepted offers or are SOLD already ?! 

We suggest writing Back-up offers on some of these, but rather than experience the pain of regret for not acting sooner….consider our professional services to list and market your property to sell during this PRIME TIME ->

Time is running out for  $ 8.000 1st Time Home Buyer tax credit needing a offer in place by April 30th, 2010 or for move up / downsizing opportunities for existing home owners to take advantage of the $6500 tax credit!

We’ve been blessed to have served many wonderful people in NW Indiana over the past decade and are grateful for the repeat business and referrals from past clients as well.

Our website has had a Testimonial page for years with letters from clients who gave us permission to share their story ….each situation being unique and just as varied as every home we help sell or buy

Yesterday, after a real estate closing with repeat clients who we’ve come to know and like over the course of helping them in both buying and selling homes in the last 6 month period…we did our 1st Video Client Testimonial.

Thanks Kindly to Tom and Shannon for taking a few moments to endorse our services:)

Recently, we closed on some of our listed  homes in Northwest Indiana that were for sale subject to the Lenders approval of a Short Sale. Not all short sales are alike. Each has it’s own set of individual circumstances and obstacles to overcome in getting to the closing table.

These particular short sales closed sooner (less time) than some of our other pending listings that have offers with “traditional” lending involved, in which it is sometimes more common to have underwriting delays nowadays ;(

NW Indiana Short Sale SOLD-26 days from For Sale Sign Up to Signing Documents at the Closing Table.

Valparaiso, IN Short Sale SOLD -33 Days from Receipt of the Buyers Offer to Purchase to Closing the Short Sale Transaction.

We’ve blogged about short sales before, and in our opinion, they are here to stay while. They require much more time, energy, effort, and problem solving than traditional real estate transactions!!! (also our opinion:)

If you are behind on your mortgage payments and considering selling your home subject to your lender approving a short sale, consider giving us a call to discuss the possibility of using our professional services.

Just in time for Super Bowl Weekend we received this email from a past client today (a New Orleans Saints Fan)  in which we (Indianapolis Colts fans) successfully Listed & Sold their Northwest Indiana Home subject to their lenders approval of a short sale….

I guess we can agree to disagree on some things GO Colts!!!

HI Grace / Jeff,

Don’t have a scanner here, so just put my testimonial below.  Hope that works ok for you.  You may use my name if you wish.

Have a great weekend and

“GO Saints” !!!!!  

Lynn

I had my house listed with a large well known real estate agent for 6 months. The house didn’t sell and it sat empty costing me a fortune with each passing month, paying for mortgage, utilities, insurance etc. I came across Jeff and Grace Safrin’s name on a website. I talked with Jeff and decided on a short sale, based on the information I had obtained from my mortgage company. The house was listed on a Monday and by Saturday of the same week we were signing papers. A Couple of weeks later, we closed on the sale.

Jeff is extremely knowledgeable in real estate, selling, short sales and handling and dealing with all aspects of this business. He worked quickly and efficiently to get the sale closed, with liens, and several other road blocks. Jeff and his wife are very friendly and personable and a pleasure to work with. The Safrin’s know their business and I would recommend them to ANYONE looking to buy or sell a home.
