When we List a Property that has Exposure to High Traffic Count areas according to INDOT our usual 3 foot tall REAL ESTATE sign doesn't capture much commuter attention!

That's when we call Ted from Signs By Design in Valparaiso, Indiana and have a custom large sign made for the Location.

The next trip to complete the sign is to have Jeff from Valparaiso's Timber Shop custom cut the signposts so that the large sign fits perfectly in the anchoring grooves.

Usually, we have a handyman/installer pick up the seperate pieces, put them together and take them to the property and install them level into the ground.

As prices of gas, signs, wood and installation have gone up...recently my Jeff said " I can do this myself and save MONEY."

He not only did a fine job ( I checked with the leveler - it is straight:)

but impressed the sellers, talked to several neighbors and handed out his business cards, and since it was a busy road - several old clients and acquaintences who noticed driving by called us within the next few days to ask if that was him? These conversations, of course, led him to answer questions about this Listing and....ask leading questions :)

RESULTS :

The $$$ Saving's realized from putting up the sign = HUNDRED"S

The REFERRAL BUSINESS we gained directly from doing this task = PRICELESS !!

Yesterday, between filming sessions for an upcoming episode of HGTV's Hidden Potential, we had time to stop at an unbelievable place called Tony's Saddle Shop located in Valparaiso, IN.

You've heard the saying :

You can't tell a book by it's cover !

That is so true of this retail business establishment that is a Trendsetter in Western and English Fashion !

Hoosier Hospitality is an understatement describing the exceptionally warm reception and knowledgeable answers to our many questions that we received while shopping here!

The extensive collection of Women's, Mens' and Children' CLOTHING, along with a huge assortment of Leather Boots, Hats, Belts and accessories plus fine crafted jewelry was AMAZING !

One of a Kind items we had never laid eyes on before, certainly make this shop a must repeat for future gift giving!

And of course if you are a Horse owner - all the Saddles and accessory gear are available.

But, this place carries much much more than the name Saddle Shop implies.

Stop by and see for yourself soon!

Located @ 365 East U. S. Highway 30

Today was an exciting Monday for us !

We received a phone call a few months ago about the possibility for one of our hometown properties being featured on HGTV's show HIDDEN POTENTIAL.

Well today, after much behind the scene details, that dream became a reality. Van loads of equipment and a caravan of vehicles, filled with kind and very knowledgeable production crew, spent several hours here in our Vale of Paradise !

The Shows Star Host Brandie Malay, and feature Architect/Designer Barry Wood were both gracious enough to take a moment from their busy schedules to take a photo with us.

These chic professionals bring much expertise to the show!

Barry Wood is an Architect and has his own NY, New York Design/Development Firm

Brandie Malay is also a Professional REALTOR, ABR in nearby Chicago, IL

This Future EPISODE # 608 of Hidden Potential, will probably not air on TV until early fall. The actual Filming of the Home and it's Potential Make-Over was off limits to us. We did get to greet the potential Buyers who have a big decision to make.... picking one of three homes that have been re-designed to meet their future housing needs!

We can, however, show you the picturesque setting in Porter County where this soon to be on TV home sits!

You know what they say.......Location.....Location....Location.... you can graphically redesign and make structural changes to any home.......But the scenery here at this property has been a work in progress by Mother Nature for many years :)

This whole production process has been an enjoyable learning experience, not to mention positive press for us and NW Indiana REAL ESTATE !

We don't Have Palm Trees in NW Indiana....lol

We don't have good weather all year round... Thank God it was a beautiful sunny day today!

But we do have scenic countryside and affordable housing, along with low taxes & award winning schools!

THANK YOU HGTV and the Hidden Potential Crew. From the Producers and Directors, to the Camera man, Set up & lighting crew and Make up Artist etc...thanks to you all for your hard work and efforts to feature a NW Indiana Property! A special thanks to Brandie & Barry as well, for sharing what we love about our Home Town with the rest of the world !
