We visited some of our Listed Properties For Sale in Starke County, IN to take photos.

The fisherman were already launching boats out on Bass Lake…

On our way back, we stopped at the huge, well known 5 acre site known as Bailey’s Discount Center and enjoyed some Ice cream while we helped stimulate the economy with some shopping:)

If you’ve never been to Bailey’s and live in NorthWest Indiana, it’s well worth the trip. MAP

We’ve had past clients rave about the Custom Kitchen Cabinets in their homes, purchased from here (and these were Lake and Porter County residents…so they drove a bit to get Home Improvement bargains.

If you go, wear your walking shoes – this place is big and there is a wide variety of goods for sale and some goodies to munch on as well

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).

Have a wonderful Fall Season!

On 8/27/09 we attended our local Board of REALTORS ( GNIAR )annual meeting at the Avalon Manor Banquet Hall located @ US 30 in Merrillville, IN.

The statistics reported that day about the drop-out rate of REALTOR members in the last year (High of 2600 agents at one point in NW Indiana to current 2100+ and projected decrease to 1800 agents by 2010 )…

reminded me of this BLOG I wrote last year …..

and how servicing the friends, family & clients of those who were once active collegues in our profession is very important!

While writing out Happy Anniversary greetings the other day for past CLOSINGS, I came across a Multiple Listing Data Sheet in which we were the LISTING AGENTS and the BUYER was a REALTOR !

I remember the transaction well. She was relatively new in the field, and Jeff was kind & patient enough to explain tax pro-ration ( Indiana Pays Property Taxes in Arrears ) and many other First Time HOME Buyer Questions that she had….remembering….we were all NEW once

I did an MLS Search and found she is no longer an active REALTOR.

This question came to mind……

WHO WILL SERVICE THE FUTURE REAL ESTATE NEEDS OF THOSE PROFESSIONALS in The Real Estate Industry who are Leaving the Profession?

WE WILL !

So, I wrote the Happy Anniversary Card with a personalized note, and plan to contact a few others that we know, to stay in touch, in an attempt to ADOPT Future Business! From a group of former competitors and peers, who all have family and friends and NEW co-workers, comes a source for the generation of new found Referrals!

HAS YOUR REALTOR left the FIELD of PRACTICE of REAL ESTATE ?

If so, and you are in need of the Services of a FULL TIME PROFESSIONAL TEAM….
