for buyers: JUST BOUGHT- 15237 Roswell - 07/13/10 10:27 AM
Well, I'm pretty sure this was the deal of the year... at least thus far. I could have sold this home about three times, but only one of my buyers was the lucky winner! They were able to see it within a few hours of it hitting the market, and I'm glad they did-- it would have been gone fast! In fact, the listing agent didn't even have time to upload the photos before we submitted a cash offer and got it accepted! 4BR, 3.5Ba, 3000SF and possibly the largest backyard I've seen in Granger. Congrats to the H's! (No photo … (0 comments)

Another great house! My buyers found this roomy 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2900SF home after a lengthy search. It's situated on Knollwood Golf Course and has a great view! The sellers updated EVERYTHING including the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring and fresh paint throughout! My buyers were able to move right in and LIVE! Perfect!

Isn't this house adorable! My buyers were thrilled to stumble upon it as we did their house hunt. It had been on the market 45 days and they were able to snatch it up for 97% of list price. The best part is, it's near their new place of employment- so they can walk or ride to work! Lovely!

You want to talk about a deal? How about more than 2500SF for under $75K! This wonderful home was owned by the same family for more than 40 years! They raised 10 kids in this home, and belive it or not, all 10 had to sign off on the closing documents-- now that was one painful morning for the power of attorney! This beautiful home had so many of the original features including the solid doors. It really was a surprise once we got inside! Congrats, Mr. S!

13 days is all it took to get this home sold! The sellers were realistic about it's condition and the current market value, so we priced it aggressively. A builder got a deal on this home, and will likely do some rehab work to it and relist it. What a deal! It's at the end of a street too, so no traffic will pass by!

Wow! What a charming 3BR home. There's a 4th room (that doesn't have a closet) so roomy is an understatement! And, it has a partially finished basement. The buyer looked and looked, and the charm of this one (not to mention the great price) really won out! Wow!

This beautiful ranch home sold in just about 4 months for 95% of list price. The owners had bought it through me about three years previous, and taken meticulous care of it. In fact, this was one of those rare homes where the buyers only had one request on the inspection response. What a gem! I'm sure the new owners are enjoying its move-in condition!

I was bound to sell this home! I had actually taken another buyer through it... who loved it... but ended up finding something that suited her just a bit better. So, when I took this client through (who ended up buying it) I could only laugh as I called to let the agent know I was writing an offer. It was meant to be. My buyer is only the 2nd owner of this home... and he got all... and I mean ALL the original paperwork from when it was built back in 1960. Needless to say, I'm amazed by the incredible … (1 comments)

After lots of patience and waiting, we finally got this home closed as a short sale. As you may know, a "short sale" is anything but short, in terms of a timeline. It's when the bank or mortgage holder takes a "short" on what is owed to pay off the balance. The seller ended up getting 9 offers over a 9 month period, but some patient buyers were the ones that really won! The house next door sold for $30K more than what these buyers paid for this house... just about 9 months earlier. WOW!

This was an exciting accepted offer! We were in a competing offer situation and the other offer was countered. But then, as I watched the MLS, it never pended. So, I followed up with the listing agent and he said to get a new contract in ASAP and we ended up getting it! WOW! This house was absolutely perfect, even down to the paint colors. My buyers just moved right in! And, the sellers-- who were the original owners of the home-- had every manual for every item in the home... AND the blueprints. WOW! That's some great record-keeping!

Well, we tried to sell this home about a year ago, and had no succes. At that time, the sellers took the home off the market and decided to wait and see what would happen. Then, in January we relisted it, and in 14 days it sold for 98% of list price. Not too bad! This is a great home, with a wonderful open backyard, and a brand new deck! The sellers took great care of the property and truly loved it while they lived there.

Another great deal for another great buyer! After looking at more than 50 homes, my buyers found this beauty... with a gorgeous It's got the character and charm of the time period, but has been beautifully updated with a new kitchen, flooring and even some drywall and electrical! What a find! I can't wait to go and visit them and sit on that front porch watching the river go by!

Talk about improvements! This home had been redone from top to bottom! New mechancials, flooring, kitchen, baths, figures, electrical and plumbing... truly move-in ready! Oh, and I didn't mention that it sits on a HUGE lot, with a great backyard, too! What a deal! My buyer was able to get this home for 94% of list price.

This one is near and dear to my heart. I've actually sold this home three times! Located just blocks from Notre Dame, this house has the character and charm of so many homes in the area. The seller had recently put in a new furance and painted the exterior as well. It paid off... the home sold for 96% of list price!

What a lovely Prairie Lane Estates Ranch! This beautiful home was as clean as a whistle and had many updates throughout. The sellers had recently put in a new furnace and built a beautiful deck outback, too! This home sold for 96% of list price in just over two months. Wow!

What a beauty! This brand new home was purchased by my buyers, and what a deal they got! Not only was it brand new, but it still had a builders warranty. The buyers were able to customize it with their own colors and appliances, and even put in brand new counter tops. Simply put, you couldn't build a new house today for this price! Lucky lucky!

When I listed this home, the sellers had in mind that they'd be moving in the Spring. Oddly enough, we had it sold in THREE days, with multiple offers. This southside brick ranch was in spectaclar condition, which made the sale even easier! Beautiful hardwood flooring... solid surface countertops... and a finished basement -- those were just a few of the selling points!

Well, I'm a little behind on these posts, but here goes my game of catch up! I was able to help my buyer secure this great home in Mishawaka... as we competed with THIRTEEN other offers! Can you believe it? As you can imagine, it was listed at a steal of a price (due to it's foreclosure status) and my buyer won! It's always exciting to be in those multiple offer situations!

for buyers: BOUGHT & SOLD- 15783 Hamilton - 10/06/09 06:05 AM
Wow! This home was listed and sold in just 14 days! The sellers went above and beyond to get their home prepared for the market, including painting the interior and exterior, refinishing the hardwood floors, gutting the kitchen, replacing all the windows, updating the bathroom and pulling out overgrown landscaping. It really showed, and especially to these buyers who had seen it all, and even entered into another contract, only to find major issues with that property upon inspections. Needless to say, they were thrilled to find this home, in such pristine condition, in an even better location for their family. … (0 comments)

The first time homebuyers are getting great deals all over Michiana. This home was purchased by another of my first time clients after only 48 days on the market. It was a win for everyone involved! You would not believe the gardens on this home. Absolutely AMAZING... and I'm not even a gardener!
