Experienced REALTORS each Bring something of Value to the Table…..

This week some of our Experienced REALTORS of F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate got together for several events!

One was Virtual REBar Camp – some attended online from the comfort of their home, while a few of us went to our local Board of REALTORS in Merrillville, IN ( GNIAR ) and watched the informative break out sessions hosted there!

The information shared at this event was awesome. We all learned much to implement into business building that will benefit our clients! I am refreshed by the willingness of our TEAM to learn, grow and change with the times and embrace the new social media avenues!

The very next day we held our monthly F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate Round Table Event locally in the conference room @ Evelyn Bay Coffee Co. in Valpo. This is an event we look forward to montly as everyone brings something of value to the table!

If you remember last month – we all got LinkedIn :) feel free to link to us!

This month beside discussing the many of the latest REal Estate Topics i.e. The Local Market Statistics in Lake, Porter and La Porte Counties in NW Indiana, The Expanded and Extended Home Buyer Tax credits and local development issues and much more, – we also each wanted to share our Facebook Pages – so feel free to befriend us - just click on the name below to go to their Facebook Page!

knew to stop without me saying anything further!

Vineyards of Anderson's winery in NW Indiana

One of the great surprises about living in NW Indiana

…is that it has many surprises!

The Anderson Vineyard & Winery is one of them!

close up grapes Anderson's Winery

Warm memories of years ago come back every time I visit here…..

My dad used to make his own wine in the basement, I remember trips to Vineyards like this, where our family would pick grapes for a few hours (and fill up on them until we got a stomach ache :) LOL… He had his own Spigot & Barrel ( just like the ones for sale here ) and would even let my younger brother & I have a little taste after the fermentation process was complete…it was our secret – Mom never knew or she’d be mad!!

wine tasting bar at Anderson's in Valparaiso, IN

Now when I visit Anderson’s, I always ask to taste their

most recent releases…they have a wine sampling bar to

help you make your decision, since the variety produced

by their crops is abundant!

gift shop andersons winery

Of course there are many other items available for

purchase from home made preserves & jams (pumpkin

butter is in season now) to fresh bakery items and yes fall

apples by the bushel fulls so you can bake to your hearts

content :)

So If You are looking for something to this weekend come by and sip some home grown VINO :) and leave with

a basketful of goodies! There is so much to do for children of all ages including wagon rides, Wine cellar tours,

gift-shop with crafts from local artists, farm fresh fruit & more! Picnic spots at Anderson's Winery in Valparaiso, IN

With award winning schools and
