About Jasper County, IN

We closed today on a beautiful home we listed for sale in DeMotte, IN ( Jasper County, 46310 ).

This Listing was the result of the sphere of influence of another client who found us on one of our many websites (POINT 2) and liked the way we marketed homes and recommended us to family !

A 2 Bedroom Single Family Home is not as in demand as 3 & 4 BR properties in NW Indiana, but, as Jeff says - there is a buyer out there for just about every property type ;)

The setting was scenic and the price affordable and the condition well maintained...so an offer to purchase came from a pre-approved, qualified buyer on the 80th day of being on the market!

With professional collaboration between the Buyer's Agent and Listing Agents together with the Buyer and Sellers cooperation, all the many steps of this transaction's process were worked through!

Thanks for stopping by and reading our Northwest Indiana Real Estate Blog!

Former For Sale By Owner in DeMotte, IN - SOLD - Holiday Shoppers are Serious Buyers!

We've Blogged about Jasper County, Indiana and Homes we've SOLD in De Motte, IN before.

There is a common objection that the topic of this Blog post addresses, however, that we've heard over many years from Sellers reluctant to list their home in any other season but Spring or Summer. The false perception being : "it won't sell at that time of year" ?

In our experience in the past decade, , during the Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year Holiday Season, the potential Buyers out shopping for homes tend to be more serious about purchasing!

Especially in Northwest Indiana, where winter weather of Snow and Cold, discourages "Looky Louies".

Recently, we Listed an AWESOME Custom Home with a Home Theatre System that was certainly a stand out amenity!

The Sellers had enough of the unqualified showings and casual buyers and limited exposure of the FSBO route of Real Estate, which brought them NO offers over many months.

We met with them and explained our Professional Services, along with vast Internet presence + Marketing efforts would attract a Ready, Willing and ABLE Buyer bringing an offer on their home which was in move-in ready condition & priced competitively ...even at this time of year!

Only 37 Days later, despite the winter weather and holidays, an offer to purchase from a qualified buyer at list price was received and accepted!

Only, 46 days in all, from signing The Listing Agreement + the For Sale Sign Going Up, to Signing The Closing Documents & the For Sale Sign Coming Down.

If you are looking to Sell Your Home in NW Indiana, please give us a call Today @ 219-405-1232.

We'd be happy to set up an appointment to Tour Your Property, provide you with a Competitive Market Analysis of Price, and discuss our marketing Strategy and answer any questions you may have.

Performance Outsells Promises.

Let Our Work Ethic and Experience Help You Achieve Your Real Estate Goals in 2009.
