Are you familiar with the term "Short Sale"? A short sale is when the Home Owner owes more for the property than it is currently worth. When an offer is made on the property and the bank will net less than the balance owed, it is referred to as a "short sale". This is why you want an experienced REALTOR (r) that knows the complexity of processing and required documents needed by every Lender in order to bring the offer to closing.

So sorry for those of you who do not live here or those who are even too far away to travel here. One of the best fairs in the state of Indiana is happening this week in Goshen, Indiana. We have free grandstand shows and some of the best entertainment around! Kellie Pickler, Hootie and the Blowfish and many other shows can all be seen from the grandstand for just the price of admission.

I have always liked going to the fair. My birthday falls around the Centerville MI fair week and every year when we were kids, we went to that fair for my birthday. I was in 4H and one of my entries one year was selected to go to State Fair in Indianapolis. I thought I was hot stuff, but when I got there, it didnt seem so much better than our fair at home! It still doesnt! I went to the state fair a few years ago to see Garrison Keillor and the show was great, but I thought the fair itself was just ok. I have also attended several county fairs and the state fair in Florida and the Hillsboro, MI county fair, all the while judging them against our own. OURS WINS hands down!

Lets not even talk about the food! Yes, every fair has its share of cotton candy, elephant ears, corn dogs and sinfully bad for your, but oh so good fried vegetables...but do the other ones have...Fresh ice cream from the Dairy Club Stand, Nelsons BBQ chicken, fresh lamb burgers from the Lamb Club and lets not even talk about the home-made pies...ahhh what could be better?

Take a look at the website and hopefully someday you will get a chance to be in Elkhart County the third week of July to join us for the best fair in the Midwest! http://www.4hfair.org/grandstand.htm
