 We've passed it showing homes in Valpo hundreds of times over the last decade.

Recently,our nephew came to visit (and we had unseasonably cool drizzly weather)...so we decided to go to the

49 er Drive-in Theatre located @ 675 North Calumet Avenue in Valparaiso, IN 46383

This night brought back some of fond childhood memories of our family spending time together at a venue like this....i.e.- getting there early to get a front row parking spot, visiting the concession stand for popcorn & snacks, bringing a blanket or lawn chair to lounge on, throwing around the football in the grassy field while we waited for dusk, etc...

What's even better - they have their own FM radio station 88.5 and you don't have to put those old speakers in your car anymore

LOL !                                                                               

 This is still a great way to enjoy a summer nite in NW Indiana!

see you at the movies :)

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!

 When we moved from Lake County, Indiana (St. John) 12 years ago to Porter County, IN ....we were looking for lower property taxes, a home with some land and goods schools.

 We ended up with all of  that plus some...the added amenities of enjoying a beautiful year round recreational community - SHOREWOOD FOREST - and all of the perks that go with it!

Besides parks, playgrounds, tennis courts and basketball courts...there are nature trails, walking paths, and a Lake -> Lake Louise. The Community Pool and Clubhouse plus Neighborhood Sandy Beach are awesome this time of year!

If you enjoy BOATING and FISHING and Water Sports (tubing or water-skiing ) as our family does....this is a great place to live!

Click here to read one of our past blogs about the community of shorewood Forest in Valparaiso, IN 46385 and see many more photos !

"Reach Out and Touch Some-body's Hand, Make This World a Better Place"....Yes, We Can !

 @ Christ Lutheran Church in Valparaiso, IN  the Ladies Summer Bible Study has a participant from Singapore, Asia via SKYPE !

Seems like just a few weeks ago, I blogged about a new Ladies Bible Study starting up here in Valparaiso, IN  at my church.  If you live around here, you'll know the one, with all big construction trucks and new building going on at the Corner of Campbell St. & Vale Park Road.

On the 1^st night of this study, one of the ladies mentioned that she had a friend overseas who may like to join in. Since they already communicate via SKYPE,and our Church has wireless internet access, the technology was in place to, as the song says.....reach out!  

We extended her an invitation to join us via Laptop with built in video camera and last night that invite was graciously accepted.

    It Was AWESOME ! ...but then, so is our GOD :)                                                                               

 Connections like this that foster fellowship around the globe are priceless!

 Just look at the ->Google Mapof how far apart these 2 cities are!

Luckily, the time zone differences meshed for this particular study. As the evening sun faded here in Valpo, we discussed the lessons to be learned from the story of Lot's Wife, with a sister who saw morning sunlight in Singapore. We all laughed, as we discovered the similarities in weather. It was 90 and humid in Asia and we've had a hot few days of summer lately in NW Indiana as well!

 What a blessing to be able to come together and study The Word no matter how many miles separate us....

Can I hear an Amen ? !

The world is getting smaller, thanks to technology and social media! I pray those reading will be inspired to reach out and connect to others around the globe using these new means to share the Message...yes you can!

Enjoy the song & video ->

In these changing times with social media morphing at about the rate of the speed of light... LOL...i.e. micro blogging on twitter... the whirlwind of RE barcamp and who knows what next (Google wave?).....

Our most recent listing that sold was brought to us courtesy of another type of social networking : 

Interacting personally with past clients - > sphere of influence.

Here's how it went :)

We were driving by a former clients home in Valparaiso, IN and saw an empty garbage can at the curb of a very long driveway.

Yea, my Jeff responded, "He reminds me of my grandfather. I'm gonna stop and take the trash can up the driveway for them and put it near the garage so they don't have to."

We tried to make our stop transparent (just do the deed and leave), but the wheel of the trash can got stuck in the groove between the driveway and grass. When Jeff pulled it up, the can tilted and knocked off the rear view mirror on the drivers side of our truck ;0 

As Jeff wheeled the can up the driveway, our clients came out. After thanking him for wheeling the trash can up for them, Jeff asked to borrow some duck tape, (reluctant to explain what had just happened). He ended up telling them while laughing about it, after they asked why he needed the duck tape... and told them it was no big deal.

The next comment I heard from our client was pricless & well worth the stop. "In all my years of building and selling homes, I've never had a REALTOR do such a nice thing for me, and I've worked with many."

 "Well," Jeff said, not missing a beat,  "Keep us in mind if you know of anyone needing our services other than trash can retrieval." and we all laughed.

Funny thing..... the next day we get an email from a relative of this former client......asking for our services to list and sell multiple properties in NW Indiana.

Connecting by social media is something we are striving to learn.....

Connecting in person is still the best !

We've Blogged about the Town of Merrillville Indiana before. This Lake County, Indiana town - with it's proximity to Chicago-land by Expressway or Skyway, makes it convenient for commute to work in the neighboring state of Illinois, yet pay less taxes.

With attractions nearby like the Star Plaza Theater &  Westfield Shopping Mall, you don't  have far to go from home for necessities or entertainment.

1st time Home buyers - if you buy a home and close on the deal by 11/30/09, you may qualify for up to $8000 in Tax Credit's - that's a BIG refund Check around tax time - and people are already getting them- why not you? !

Northwest Indiana's Lake County borders the Illinois State Line and so even if you rent in Chicago-land, moving to NW Indiana with lower taxes and a do-able commute by expressway or South Shore Train Line should be worth your consideration - especially since comparable Homes are much more affordable right over the stateline!

Many have received big checks in the mail already.  Why Not You?

We were humbled to represent these clients, knowing that they come in contact with dozens of REALTORS in their line of work, and their parents know even more.....they had lots of choices......but approached us because they observed over several years 1st hand how we do business.

We've Blogged about the Town of Merrillville Indiana before. This Lake County, Indiana town - with it's proximity to Chicago-land by Expressway or Skyway, makes it convenient for commute to work in the neighboring state of Illinois, yet pay less taxes.

With attractions nearby like the Star Plaza Theater &  Westfield Shopping Mall, you don't  have far to go from home for necessities or entertainment.

Yesterday, we listed a 2006 Built Home with many upgrades and improvements added! Like the meticulous professional landscaping and the inground sprinkler system. a Privacy cedar fenced backyad plus a oversized cement patio.  The NEW Sunroom Addition is awesome and offers year round views of nature - watch the ducks and deer come up to the pond - we even captured this on film during the listing appointment:)

Located on the border of Merrillville & Schererville - Creekwood Crossing is a newer development.

The prestigious Forest Ridge Academy is a short drive from this home for those interested in private education for their children.

Enjoy the photo slide show of this home which has been meticulously maintained inside & out!
