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:)

Typically, we take a vacation around the winter season in NW Indiana because activity on listing and selling real estate USED TO slow down somewhat.

Not anymore

Over the past couple weeks we’ve been blessed to assign relocation clients to each one of our experienced agents! Many Job Transfers and/or Corporate Buyouts to help employees move, happen regardless of season!

Even while taking a few days R & R in Florida, our corporate office called us with more potential client referrals looking to either buy or sell a home in Northwest Indiana.

Relocation referrals are a benefit of being a F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate agent, and they are distributed in sequence one by one right down the list of agents on board with us (unless an agent is requested by name).

The volume of referrals comes from being a member of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World

If you are an experienced professional REALTOR looking for a change in 2010 and enjoy relocation clients, call Jeff or Grace for a confidential interview to see if our Virtual Real Estate Brokerage Model is something that would interest you.

With the 1st Time Home Buyer Tax Credit deadline for accepted Real Estate Purchase Contracts being 4/30/10, NOW is a good time to buy a home in Northwest Indiana!
