Yesterday, we closed on a home we listed in Lake County, Indiana that borders Illinois (Whiting, Indiana).

As a child growing up on Chicago's south side, I would visit Whiting annually with my parents to attend their 4th of July parade and famous annual Pierogi festival.

Whiting still attracts ready, willing and able buyers today. The lakefront expansion plans along Lake Michigan's shoreline will be beautiful when completed.

This home listing came to us by referral from a current client. It was formerly For Sale By Owner.

Most buyers now a days seek the services of a Professional REALTOR to market their home to sell and attrack ready, willling and able buyers, rather than take a chance on fsbo.

The REAL WORK in selling a home comes after the negotiated contract is agreed on and signed.

Nowadays, lending rules are tighter and getting through various inspections, the appraisal and underwriting stipulations takes a seasoned expert and much time and intervention.

If you are a Northwest Indiana Home Owner and tired of tire-kickers or unqualified buyers as a
