Did you see a PINK form in with your property tax statement? DO NOT THROW IT AWAY OR FILE IT AWAY!
PLEASE PAY ATTENTION: EVERY INDIVIDUAL OR MARRIED COUPLE CURRENTLY CLAIMING THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION ON THEIR PROPERTY TAXES MUST COMPLETE THE FORM AND RETURN IT TO THE COUNTY PER THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED ON THE FORM!
If you are like most homeowners, your property taxes are paid by your mortgage company and you usually open the statement and file it away like I do.
Who: Every individual or married couple currently claiming the homestead deduction will receive the form. (Some counties may choose to mail the form to every taxpayer, even those not claiming the homestead deduction.)
What: The pink form included with tax bills When: The homestead verification form will be mailed with 2010, 2011, and 2012 tax bills and MUST be completed at least once by January 1, 2013.
Where: Follow the instructions included on the form.
Why: If you are claiming the deduction you must complete the pink form to verify eligibility and to provide identification numbers (the last five digits of both driver’s license and social security numbers of both spouses), which will be used to populate a secure homestead database and prevent homestead fraud. Beginning in 2010, House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1344-2009 requires the tax statement to include a form that allows taxpayers to verify their residency and eligibility for the homestead deduction.
Each individual (and his or her spouse, if any) claiming the homestead deduction also is required to provide the last five digits of his or her social security number and driver’s license number. This information will be used to populate a secure homestead database, which will be used by county auditors to track homesteads statewide and prevent fraud. This will help reduce taxes for all ensuring that everyone shares equally in the property tax burden. For more information click here.
If you no longer use this home as your primary residence, please complete the Certified Statement to remove the homestead exemption from your property.
Individuals and married couples are limited to one homestead exemption. It is imperative that you do this by January 1, 2013!! If you do not, you will miss out on the benefits of the homestead exemption which reduces the taxable assessed value of the homestead portion of a property by the lesser of 60 percent or $45,000 . In addition, those receiving the standard deduction, automatically receive the supplemental homestead deduction, the 1 percent circuit breaker cap and any state or local homestead credits. For additional information regarding the homestead exemption and other property tax deductions, click here.

I consider myself an Illini, though I have lived in Indiana for more than half of my life. Born and raised in Southern Illinois, I grew up in very small communities, graduating with a class of 62 students. I think that has contributed to my outgoing personality, I never meet a stranger, because living in such small communities, you knew everyone.
I was blessed to marry my wonderful husband of 29 years, after meeting him in college. He is a project manager at Thomson, Inc. We have two great children, a son who graduated from Indiana University with a Marketing degree from Kelley School of Business and a daughter, a student at Indiana University. They keep me busy but, I pride myself in always living a balanced life.
After working in the accounting field for several years, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to stay home and raise my children. After they were both in school full time, I needed to get back into the business world, so I took a part time job as an unlicensed assistant at Re/Max Ability Plus. I guess you could say real estate is in my blood; my mother is the broker/owner of Century 21 Heritage in Vincennes, Indiana. I received my real estate license in March of 1997 and continued at Re/Max as a licensed assistant. In August of 1999, I began my career with Century 21, when I accepted a position as a licensed assistant at Century 21 at the Crossing. As my business grew, I felt the need to further my career, when I was invited to become a member of The Richwine Real Estate Group at Century 21 Realty Group I. I continued my journey with the Marchant Team at Keller Williams Indianapolis NE and have now come full circle, coming back t Century 21 Scheetz on 96th Street.
I bring a willingness to work hard but also the ability to keep my priorities in check. I look forward to working with the Century 21 Scheetz to provide real estate service that we can be proud of.
I have been a resident of Lawrence Township for 29 years and enjoy spending time with my family and friends, whether it is boating on Geist or just relaxing at home!!
Creating friendships.... One Home at a Time in Geist, Lawrence Township, Fishers, and all of Indianapolis!
Thank you to all of my past and current clients, I have enjoyed working with all of you and would appreciate any comments you might like to leave below regarding your experience working with me!! As always, I will treat any referrals with the same professionalism I showed you. My goal is to Make Dreams Happen, One Home At A Time!

Entering the market as a first home owner, I had given up on buying a home after two previous realtor’s did not listen to what my needs were. Then Kim came along and called me up and I did not even have say that much, it was like she could read my mind. Now I live in the Geist area and I love my first home. Kim will get you the home of your dreams and she will go out of her way to make sure that things go smoothly even when you hit a rock and a hard place. Hands down, Kim made me believe again in buying a house from a realtor, a 10 out of 10 absolutely the best realtor ever

"Kim really made buying my first home a great experience. Her approach to helping home buyers is part advisor and part friend, she really got to know me to make the search easier. With so many homes on the market, Kim helped me narrow down the search based on my must-have items, then based on our impressions of homes we viewed, helped me narrow my search even further. I bought the perfect house for me, and Kim was there every step of the way. From helping me find financing, negotiating the deal, recommending vendors for a home inspection, and providing a list of providers for other services, Kim provides much more than just home-buying expertise...she is a genuine resource for everything a home owner needs."

Dear Kim,
I can’t thank you enough for all the help you provided with my home purchase. You were instrumental during the entire process from providing listings for me to browse to the procedures of closing. As a new resident of the area your advice and guidance was assuring and beneficial. I was very fortunate to have had a realtor so committed to her clients. All your time and effort have been truly appreciated.
Thanks again,

Kim assisted me with the purchase of my condo last year. I’m a single first time homeowner who couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. I truly thank GOD for placing Kim in my life to assist me with one of the most important decisions I’ve ever made. Kim exceeded ALL of my expectations, she was my advocate, my negotiator, and most important a friend that I could trust. Days prior to closing I unfortunately had to terminate my mortgage broker however seconds after calling Kim I was on the phone with a new broker who was processing my loan. Kim and I still keep in touch; she’s truly a good woman. I’m always looking for new customers to send her way; I think she’s the best in the business.

I listed my condo with Kim at the recommendation of my daughter, and truly she exceeded my expectations! Kim is an awesome lady and a superb real estate agent! We had a signed offer within just a few days and closed a month later! Now that’s fast! Not only is she very personable, but she goes above and beyond in communication, making sure you are happy with the listing and presentation of your home, and that you understand all the details throughout the whole process. Kim truly cares and adds special touches that demonstrate her personal customer service style. It is without any hesitation that I recommend her to everyone who wants an exceptional, positive experience in one of the most important personal and financial decisions you make in life! Choose Kim!!

Working with Kim was a very personable and enjoyable experience. She worked with us very closely helping us to find the home of our dreams. She took the time to get to know us so that she could learn the type of home we most desired and the type of neighborhood most fitting for us to reside. Kim's sincere personal touch is what makes her unique and we believe this is what enables her to help clients most enjoyably find the home of their dreams. She still stays in contact from time to time checking in to see how things are going. It is without reservation that we would recommend Kim Carpenter to any family looking for another home of their dreams.

Kim listed my house in early September, 2008, and we closed on the sale December 10, 2008. That's pretty fast! I had already signed with another agent when I first met Kim. But after meeting Kim, I just knew that I would eventually sign with her. Kim is very kind, energetic, and eager to do whatever it takes to get the job done. She also sends a "Holiday Pie" at Thanksgiving. Kim offered to drive me to the closing, which I accepted. I would gladly recommend Kim to other seller/buyers.
