Does living in a Subdivision appeal to you?  Have you always wanted to live around like minded folks who care about their homes, their neighborhood and the better good for all who live within it's boundries?  I am talking about Orchard Ridge Subdivision and the neighbors and friends who all watch out for each other's property value.  What am I talking about?  Well, not one home that I have seen in Orchard Ridge Subdivision has been in need of repair or neglected.  And this observation has been many times as I have visisted my listing at 23191 Orchard Ridge Drive.  This 4 Bedroom, 3 Bath home for sale is no exception.  The lawn has always been freshly mowed, shrubbery is well trimmed and plantings have been changed and freshened as the season requires.  Here is a look at your neighbors, should you decide to move into this lovely home...

Here I go again, singing the praises of Indiana's #1 FHA Mortgage Dude! Two weeks. Yep, that's 14 days. From Start to Finish. Closed. Did I mention it was FHA? Does your FHA specialist compare? Perhaps you ought to give David Woodson a try. He can be reached at 219-608-9790, let him prove to you his worth...

How in the world does Dave Woodson, the Mad Mortgage Machine do it? Let me tell you...he surrounds himself with nothing but the best, like Chris Blaszczyk, another Mortgage Loan Officer and processor, oh I am sorry, that sould be Processor with a capitol P. Did they stay on top of it? You betcha! Were they in constant contact with me --the REALTOR-- and my Client? Absolutely! Did I know what was going on all along? Uh-Huh! When paperwork did not get returned to them in a timely fashion, guess who they called? ME! The REALTOR! They keep saying that I get it-the relationship between a Mortgage Professional and a REALTOR, but I think they are the ones that get it---the REALTOR can help!

Now, maybe I am making to much of this, after all, I am a fairly new agent, a little over 2 years under my belt, my favorite Mortgage Loan Officer in the whole world got married and is not currently in the lending field. I have tried a couple of other Lender's, some better than others, but these guy, Dave Woodson and Chris Blaszczyk has them beat by lightening rods! I can hardly wait for another buyer to see if they can be 3 for 3!

Thanks Dave and Chris, you are amazing men who do the impossible and make them miracles.

Actually, Dave Woodson and I met at a mutual friends wedding almost a year ago...now those mutual friends have just purchased their first home.
