Ever leave out an ingredient when cooking a tried & true recipe ? Either by accident, you may forget a step, or worse yet, on purpose, you omit an important part of the recipe thinking :
"Oh, it'll be ok, if I skip this altogether or maybe substitute that instead....only to find out you have a distasteful mess to serve your dinner guests?
Today's Real Estate Transactions - Buying and Selling of Properties - Requires many KEY ingredients that can not be skipped or substituted for our clients & customers around the Closing Table to have a tasteful experience.
We Listed a Home For Sale in September from a phone call we received from Sellers who found us on the Internet. We advertise not only our listed properties, but the ones we sell as well. Their Rehabbed property was nearby one we had recently sold, and it had expired from the MLS.
We had an offer on this property in October, after we had a Buyer call us that they found our Marketing about the Home For Sale on-line, and had even driven by the home.
The key ingredient as to why this Home Closed Successfully in November? 
We have All Buyers Pre-Approved Before we show them a Home.
Motivated Buyers will gladly follow our suggestions to do this! They will find out from a reputable lender exactly what their buying power is and how much $$ they need to make their dream a reality.
Looky Louie's :) on the other hand, will want to skip this important ingredient, and perhaps even substitute another agent to take them around, not really knowing if, or how much they can QUALIFY for?
Home Sellers appreciate this one very important ingredient in our recipe for success, as it helps prevent Back on Market :)
Nowadays, with Lending and Underwriting Requirements Changing, following a tried & true recipe for success will provide all parties with a tasteful closing experience.
Give us a call @ 219-405-1232 if you are thinking of buying or selling property in NW Indiana - we'd love to share our recipe with you!
Sincerely,
Jeff & Grace

We closed today on a Fixer Upper Home in Northwest Indiana.
It was not the first offer written on the property, that offer expired and our seller did not want to grant any further extension of time since showings were plentiful.
It was not even the second offer on this property, that was supposed to be "a sure thing" to close, but it wasn't :(
It was the Back - Up Offer to the second offer that Closed within a few days of a mutual release being executed by all parties!
We have always encouraged our clients to continue showings on their property that is listed with us, even after an accepted offer to purchase has been agreed upon by all parties!
We also encourage other co-operating REALTORS who show our properties, that BACK UP OFFERS are welcome!
Sale Pending Does Not Mean SOLD !
At the beginning of each Listing, we relay to our Sellers, that the REAL WORK in REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS begins after the negotiated contract has been signed by all.
Getting the deal to Close nowadays is where professional expertise is vital.
Having a Back Up Offer in Place is good, just in case circumstances come up....things that are not re-negotiable or unforseen, that may cause the First Deal to Die.
A Backup offer is the best shot of Adrenalin to restart Seller Confidence that the Home will Sell and CLOSE.
