This night brought back some of fond childhood memories of our family spending time together at a venue like this....i.e.- getting there early to get a front row parking spot, visiting the concession stand for popcorn & snacks, bringing a blanket or lawn chair to lounge on, throwing around the football in the grassy field while we waited for dusk, etc...
What's even better - they have their own FM radio station 88.5 and you don't have to put those old speakers in your car anymore
LOL !
This is still a great way to enjoy a summer nite in NW Indiana!

This Listing was the result of the sphere of influence of another client who found us on one of our many websites (POINT 2) and liked the way we marketed homes and recommended us to family !
A 2 Bedroom Single Family Home is not as in demand as 3 & 4 BR properties in NW Indiana, but, as Jeff says - there is a buyer out there for just about every property type ;)
The setting was scenic and the price affordable and the condition well maintained...so an offer to purchase came from a pre-approved, qualified buyer on the 80th day of being on the market!
With professional collaboration between the Buyer's Agent and Listing Agents together with the Buyer and Sellers cooperation, all the many steps of this transaction's process were worked through!

Seems like just a few weeks ago, I blogged about a new Ladies Bible Study starting up here in Valparaiso, IN at my church. If you live around here, you'll know the one, with all big construction trucks and new building going on at the Corner of Campbell St. & Vale Park Road.
On the 1st night of this study, one of the ladies mentioned that she had a friend overseas who may like to join in. Since they already communicate via SKYPE,and our Church has wireless internet access, the technology was in place to, as the song says.....reach out!
We extended her an invitation to join us via Laptop with built in video camera and last night that invite was graciously accepted.
Connections like this that foster fellowship around the globe are priceless!
Just look at the ->Google Mapof how far apart these 2 cities are!
Luckily, the time zone differences meshed for this particular study. As the evening sun faded here in Valpo, we discussed the lessons to be learned from the story of Lot's Wife, with a sister who saw morning sunlight in Singapore. We all laughed, as we discovered the similarities in weather. It was 90 and humid in Asia and we've had a hot few days of summer lately in NW Indiana as well!
What a blessing to be able to come together and study The Word no matter how many miles separate us....
Can I hear an Amen ? !
The world is getting smaller, thanks to technology and social media! I pray those reading will be inspired to reach out and connect to others around the globe using these new means to share the Message...yes you can!

In these changing times with social media morphing at about the rate of the speed of light... LOL...i.e. micro blogging on twitter... the whirlwind of RE barcamp and who knows what next (Google wave?).....
Our most recent listing that sold was brought to us courtesy of another type of social networking :
Interacting personally with past clients - > sphere of influence.
Here's how it went :)
We were driving by a former clients home in Valparaiso, INand saw an empty garbage can at the curb of a very long driveway.
Yea, my Jeff responded, "He reminds me of my grandfather. I'm gonna stop and take the trash can up the driveway for them and put it near the garage so they don't have to."
We tried to make our stop transparent (just do the deed and leave), but the wheel of the trash can got stuck in the groove between the driveway and grass. When Jeff pulled it up, the can tilted and knocked off the rear view mirror on the drivers side of our truck ;0
As Jeff wheeled the can up the driveway, our clients came out. After thanking him for wheeling the trash can up for them, Jeff asked to borrow some duck tape, (reluctant to explain what had just happened). He ended up telling them while laughing about it, after they asked why he needed the duck tape... and told them it was no big deal.
The next comment I heard from our client was pricless & well worth the stop. "In all my years of building and selling homes, I've never had aREALTOR do such a nice thing for me, and I've worked with many."
"Well," Jeff said, not missing a beat, "Keep us in mind if you know of anyone needing our services other than trash can retrieval." and we all laughed.
Connecting by social media is something we are striving to learn.....
Connecting in person is still the best !

We've Blogged about the Town of Merrillville Indiana before. This Lake County, Indiana town - with it's proximity to Chicago-land by Expressway or Skyway, makes it convenient for commute to work in the neighboring state of Illinois, yet pay less taxes.
1st time Home buyers - if you buy a home and close on the deal by 11/30/09, you may qualify for up to $8000 in Tax Credit's - that's a BIG refund Check around tax time - and people are already getting them- why not you? !
Northwest Indiana's Lake County borders the Illinois State Line and so even if you rent in Chicago-land,moving to NW Indiana with lower taxes and a do-able commute by expressway or South Shore Train Line should be worth your consideration - especially since comparable Homes are much more affordable right over the stateline!
