Northwest Indiana Client Testimonial From a Seller who was also a Move-Up Buyer!

Our First Home as a Married Couple!

            Jeff and Grace were customers in my store one day and throughout conversation, we learned that I wanted to sell my house in order to get one more fitting to my family and they were real estate agents. I was really excited as they were so friendly and down to earth. I felt they truly wanted to assist me and did not look at me with a dollar sign.

Once we got my husband on board, which was easier than I had anticipated, there was a For Sale sign in front of my house and we began shopping for our new home. My husband had to go away and train for work and left me to make the decisions. As our house sold more quickly than anticipated, on came the inspectors.  I did not know much about this process. I was getting quotes that were just unrealistic. I called Jeff and Grace in tears one day and they assured me everything was fine and gave me numbers and names of people to call and held my hand the rest of the way.

I now have my dream home that I plan to spend many years in and create great memories. Jeff and Grace are not just our real estate agents, they are now our friends. These people are truly amazing and are so dedicated to their clients. I am truly blessed to have met them!

Thank you Jeff and Grace!!

Northwest Indiana Home Owners Testimonial endorsing F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate Services

Recently, we Listed a home in Valparaiso, IN 46383 that SOLD quickly and here is what our sellers had to say:

     We can't thank Jeff and Grace enough! We had already found the house we wanted to move to before calling them to put our house on the market. They gave us some staging suggestions to get our home ready to sell. We followed their expert advice and thanks to that, plus their excellent marketing, we had two offers in a week!

     The Safrin's used their experience and expertise to help sell our home in no time. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for REALTORS that work for you and with you to make buying or selling your home a great experience.

Valparaiso, IN

We decided that we would take a look at moving within the area and see if we were able to find a newer home.  We loved the home we were in and would move only if we could find a good deal that allowed us to not spend the money required to update our 22 year old home.  We had several constraints that would make the overall success of the move very difficult.  Any offer we made would need to be contingent on the closing of our home, we needed to remain in the same school district, and we needed to be under contract within 5 weeks and the sale of our home and closing on a new home must be at the same time. We had many requirements of a new home including a certain kitchen style, four bedrooms, private backyard, 3 car garage, pool, etc.  Basically we loved the home we were in and would move only if the stars aligned and we could find a great deal. 

 Jeff and Grace went to work and through their determination they aligned the stars.  After diving deep into what we wanted, they took us to several homes to refine both our expectations and better understand what we considered important.  We had two offers on our home within the first two weeks and this was after the housing bubble burst, where credit was tough and the number of buyer's limited.  In addition, the move included several small children and Jeff and Grace structured the contracts and entire transaction (sale of our home and purchase of the new home) to minimize the risk to our family. 

 If you have a complex situation with a short timeline and need a first class team that is able to apply tremendous energy to push a deal through while helping you manage the risk to you and your family, then you need the husband & wife team of Jeff and Grace Safrin.

 Best Regards,
