indiana real estate: Northwest Indiana Home Seller Testimonial for F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate - 10/14/11 08:22 AM
When we prepare a Market Analysis for a neighborhood
before we meet with Northwest Indiana Home Sellers,
sometimes the absorption rate is high, meaning there
is in excess of a years supply of homes available for
sale on the market in that particular area!
 
We prepare our clients that in this case, selling a home

Nevertheless, we persevere to get the job done as reflected
in this recent client testimonial submitted by Bryan Evancho.
