      <title>Family Fun in NW Indiana - Valpo has a Drive-in Movie Theatre !</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;49 er Drive in Movie Theatre in Valparaiso, IN 46383&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/2/0/1/9/ar124656876791024.jpg&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; alt=&quot;49 er Drive in Movie Theatre in Valparaiso, IN 46383&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;We've passed it &lt;strong&gt;showing homes&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Valpo &lt;/strong&gt;hundreds of times over the last decade.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recently,our nephew came to visit&amp;nbsp;(&lt;em&gt;and we had unseasonably cool&amp;nbsp;drizzly weather&lt;/em&gt;)...so we decided to go to the&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erdrivein.com/Home_Page.html&quot; title=&quot;Webiste - 49er Drive in Movie Theatre, Valparaiso, IN&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;49 er Drive-in Theatre&lt;/a&gt; located @ &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.49erdrivein.com/Directions.html&quot; title=&quot;46383&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;675 North Calumet Avenue in Valparaiso, IN 46383&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This&amp;nbsp;night brought back&amp;nbsp;some of fond childhood memories of our &lt;strong&gt;family spending time together&lt;/strong&gt; at a venue like this....i.e.- &lt;em&gt;getting there early to get a front row parking spot, visiting the concession stand for popcorn &amp;amp; snacks, bringing a blanket or lawn chair to lounge on, throwing around the football in the grassy field while we waited for dusk, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;etc...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;What's even better - they have their own&lt;strong&gt; FM radio station 88.5&lt;/strong&gt; and you don't have to put those old speakers in &lt;img title=&quot;Valparaiso Indiana Family Attractions&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/0/8/1/2/ar124656886221805.jpg&quot; height=&quot;136&quot; alt=&quot;Valparaiso Indiana Family Attractions&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; style=&quot;float: right; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;&quot; /&gt;your car anymore&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Just Sold-&gt; DeMotte, Indiana Home - A Spirit of Working Together is Necessary in Today's Real Estate Market.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We closed today on a beautiful home we&lt;strong&gt; listed for sale in&lt;a href=&quot;http://listings.realbird.com/Real_Estate/DeMotte/IN/30292.aspx&quot; title=&quot;Another Home Listed By the Safrin's &amp;amp; SOLD&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; DeMotte, IN ( Jasper County,&amp;nbsp; 46310 ).&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A 2 Bedroom &lt;strong&gt;Single Family Home&lt;/strong&gt; is not as in demand&amp;nbsp;as&amp;nbsp;3 &amp;amp; 4 BR &lt;strong&gt;properties&amp;nbsp;in NW Indiana&lt;/strong&gt;, but, as Jeff says - &lt;em&gt;there is a buyer out there for just about every property type ;)&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The setting was &lt;strong&gt;scenic &lt;/strong&gt;and the &lt;strong&gt;price affordable&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;condition well maintained&lt;/strong&gt;...so an &lt;strong&gt;offer to purchase&lt;/strong&gt; came from a &lt;strong&gt;pre-approved&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;strong&gt; qualified buyer&lt;/strong&gt; on the 80th day of being on the market!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With &lt;strong&gt;professional collaboration&lt;/strong&gt; between the &lt;strong&gt;Buyer's Agent&lt;/strong&gt; and&lt;strong&gt; Listing Agents&amp;nbsp;together with the Buyer and Sellers cooperation, &lt;/strong&gt;all the &lt;strong&gt;many steps&lt;/strong&gt; of this &lt;strong&gt;transaction's process&lt;/strong&gt; were worked through!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Taking in Nature &amp; the Beauty of Lake Louise in Shorewood Forest, Valparaiso, IN</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Lake Louise in Shorewood Forest, Valparaiso, IN 46385&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/8/3/0/4/8/ar124612322884038.jpg&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; alt=&quot;Lake Louise in Shorewood Forest, Valparaiso, IN 46385&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;When we moved from &lt;strong&gt;Lake County, Indiana&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;St. John&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;)&amp;nbsp;12 years ago to&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Porter County, IN ....&lt;/strong&gt;we were looking for&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; lower property taxes&lt;/em&gt;, a &lt;em&gt;home with some land&lt;/em&gt; and&amp;nbsp;goods schools&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;We ended up with all of &amp;nbsp;that &lt;em&gt;plus some&lt;/em&gt;...the added amenities of enjoying a beautiful year round recreational community - &lt;strong&gt;SHOREWOOD FOREST -&lt;em&gt; and all of the perks that go with it!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Besides&lt;strong&gt; parks, playgrounds, tennis courts and basketball courts...there are nature trails, walking paths, and&amp;nbsp;a Lake -&amp;gt; Lake Louise. The Community Pool and Clubhouse plus Neighborhood Sandy Beach are awesome this time of year!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you enjoy BOATING and FISHING and Water Sports (tubing or water-skiing ) as&amp;nbsp;our family does....this is a great place to live!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com/blogsview/194299/premier-lake-community-of-northwest-indiana-make-shorewood-forest-in-valparaiso-in-porter-county-your-home-sweet-home-&quot; title=&quot;Shorewood Forest, Valparaiso, IN 46385&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Click here to read one of our past blogs about the community of shorewood Forest in Valparaiso, IN 46385&amp;nbsp;and see many&amp;nbsp;more photos&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's nice to live in a vacation like setting every day!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, we remembered the camera - so here are a few shots from the lake :) &lt;img title=&quot;Blue Heron on Lake Louise in Shorewood Forest, Valparaiso, IN 46385&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/1/8/1/5/ar124612329451812.jpg&quot; height=&quot;181&quot; alt=&quot;Blue Heron on Lake Louise in Shorewood Forest, Valparaiso, IN 46385&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; style=&quot;float: right; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;M&lt;em&gt;akes time off before or after work relaxing to go for a boat ride and watch the &lt;strong&gt;blue heron.&lt;/strong&gt; look closely-&amp;gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&#160;Just look at the &lt;strong&gt;-&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=navclient&amp;amp;gfns=1&amp;amp;rlz=1T4ADBR_enUS286US287&amp;amp;q=show%20map%20from%20singapore%20to%20valparaiso%20indiana&amp;amp;um=1&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;sa=N&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;tab=wl&quot; title=&quot;Google Map Valparaiso, Indiana to Singapore, Asia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Google Map&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;of how far apart these 2 cities are!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Luckily, the time zone differences meshed for this particular study. As the evening sun faded here in &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ci.valparaiso.in.us/&quot; title=&quot;City of Valparaiso, IN  Website&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Valpo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;/strong&gt;we discussed the lessons to be learned from the story of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2017:32-33;&amp;amp;version=65;&quot; title=&quot;Jesus Speaks about the Lessons to be learned from the story of Lot's wife&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lot's Wife&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;,&#160;&lt;/strong&gt;with a sister who saw morning sunlight in &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore&quot; title=&quot;All about Singapore, Asia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Singapore&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;We all laughed, as we&#160;discovered the&#160;similarities in weather. It was &lt;em&gt;90 and humid&lt;/em&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;Asia&lt;/strong&gt; and we've had a &lt;em&gt;hot&#160;few days of summer&lt;/em&gt; lately in &lt;strong&gt;NW Indiana&lt;/strong&gt; as well!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&#160;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What a blessing to be able to come together and study The Word no matter how many miles separate us....&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Can I hear an Amen ? !&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;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!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enjoy the song &amp; video -&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>People Remember What You Did For Them and How You Made Them Feel....</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In these changing times&amp;nbsp;with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media&quot; title=&quot;social media defined&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;morphing &lt;em&gt;at about the rate of the speed of light&lt;/em&gt;... LOL...i.e. &lt;strong&gt;micro blogging on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com&quot; title=&quot;Twitter&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;... the whirlwind of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rebarcamp.com/chicago/re-barcamp-chicago-is-moving-to-nar-hq/&quot; title=&quot;REbarcamp&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;RE barcamp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and who knows what next (&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wave.google.com/&quot; title=&quot;Google Wave&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Google wave&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;?).....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Homes in Northwest Indiana that Just Sold&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/2/0/6/6/ar124518989066029.jpg&quot; height=&quot;179&quot; alt=&quot;Homes in Northwest Indiana that Just Sold&quot; width=&quot;259&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;&quot; /&gt;Our&amp;nbsp;most recent&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://listings.realbird.com/Real_Estate/Hobart/IN/A9E3C7A1/37301.aspx&quot; title=&quot;Just Sold Homes in NW Indiana&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;listing that sold&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; was brought to us &lt;em&gt;courtesy of&lt;/em&gt; another type of &lt;strong&gt;social networking&lt;/strong&gt; :&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interacting personally with past clients - &amp;gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sphere of influence.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here's how it went :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We were driving by a former clients home in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://neighborhoodexpertonline.com/northwestindiana/&quot; title=&quot;Valparaiso Indiana Real Estate&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Valparaiso, IN&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;and saw an empty garbage can at the curb&amp;nbsp;of a very long driveway.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yea, &lt;em&gt;my Jeff responded,&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&quot;&lt;em&gt;He reminds me of my grandfather. I'm gonna stop and take the trash can up the driveway for them and put it&amp;nbsp;near the garage so they don't have to.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We tried to make our stop transparent (&lt;em&gt;just do the&amp;nbsp;deed and leave), &lt;/em&gt;but the wheel of the trash can got stuck in the groove between the driveway and grass.&amp;nbsp;When Jeff pulled it up, the can tilted and knocked off the rear view mirror on the drivers side of our truck ;0&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As Jeff wheeled the can up the driveway, our clients came out. After thanking&amp;nbsp;him for wheeling the trash can up for them, Jeff asked to borrow some duck tape,&amp;nbsp;(&lt;em&gt;reluctant to explain what had just happened&lt;/em&gt;). He ended up telling them while laughing about it, &lt;em&gt;after they asked why he needed the duck tape...&lt;/em&gt; and&amp;nbsp;told them it was no big deal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next comment I heard from our client was pricless &amp;amp; well&amp;nbsp;worth the stop. &lt;em&gt;&quot;In all my years of building and selling homes, I've never had a&lt;a href=&quot;http://jeffsafrin.point2agent.com/&quot; title=&quot;Real Estate Agent Valparaiso, Indiana&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; &lt;strong&gt;REALTOR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; do such a nice thing for me, and I've worked with many.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&quot;Well,&quot; Jeff said, not missing a beat,&amp;nbsp; &quot;&lt;em&gt;Keep us in mind if you know of anyone needing our services&amp;nbsp;other than trash can retrieval.&quot;&lt;/em&gt; and we all laughed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Funny thing.....&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt; the next day we get an email&lt;/span&gt; from a relative of this former client......asking for our&amp;nbsp;services to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.NorthWestIndianaRealEstateBlog.Com&quot; title=&quot;NorthWest Indiana Real Estate&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;list and sell multiple properties in NW Indiana.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Connecting by social media&amp;nbsp;is something we are striving to learn.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connecting in person&amp;nbsp;is still the best ! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;____________&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Just as the seasons change here in NW Indiana, we help clients achieve their Real Estate Goals in various seasons in life. We look forward to&amp;nbsp;serving you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sincerely,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This &lt;strong&gt;Lake County, Indiana &lt;/strong&gt;town - with it's proximity to &lt;strong&gt;Chicago-land&lt;/strong&gt; by &lt;strong&gt;Expressway&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Skyway&lt;/strong&gt;, makes it convenient for commute to work in the &lt;strong&gt;neighboring state of Illinois&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;em&gt; yet pay less taxes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With attractions nearby like the&#160;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.starplazatheatre.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Star Plaza Theater&lt;/a&gt; &amp; &#160;&lt;a href=&quot;http://westfield.com/southlake/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Westfield&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://westfield.com/southlake/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Shopping&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Mall&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,&#160;you don't&#160;&#160;have far to go from home for necessities or entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Northwest Indiana's Lake County&lt;/strong&gt; borders the &lt;strong&gt;Illinois State Line&lt;/strong&gt; and so even if you rent in &lt;strong&gt;Chicago-land,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;moving to NW Indiana&lt;/strong&gt; with &lt;strong&gt;lower taxes&lt;/strong&gt; and a do-able commute by expressway or&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nictd.com/systemmap.html&quot; title=&quot;South Shore Train Stops nearby&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; South Shore Train Line&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; should be worth your consideration - especially since comparable Homes are &lt;em&gt;much more affordable right over the stateline!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We closed on a &lt;strong&gt;Home in NW Indiana&lt;/strong&gt; with these 1st time Home Buyers this week who were &lt;em&gt;smiling !&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.propertysource.com/taxcredit.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The recent &lt;strong&gt;Stimulus Package&lt;/strong&gt; passed by Congress has a&lt;strong&gt; Tax Credit&lt;/strong&gt; in which &lt;strong&gt;1st time Home Buyers&lt;/strong&gt; may qualify for up to &lt;strong&gt;$8000. Tax Credit&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;if a home is purchased and closed by 11/30/09.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com/blogsview/1050029/-8-000-first-time-buyer-tax-credit-check-received-&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Many have received big checks in the mail already.&amp;nbsp; Why Not You?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We were&amp;nbsp;humbled to represent these clients,&amp;nbsp;knowing that&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;they come in contact&amp;nbsp;with dozens of &lt;strong&gt;REALTORS&lt;/strong&gt; in their line of&amp;nbsp;work, and their parents know even more.....they had lots of choices......but approached us because &lt;strong&gt;they&amp;nbsp;observed over&amp;nbsp;several years&amp;nbsp;1st hand how we do business&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If we can help you through the process of buying your 1st home before this program ends in November - give us a call @ 219-405-1232. &lt;/strong&gt;We look forward to serving you!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.propertysource.com/taxcredit.html&quot; title=&quot;Common Questions about the 1st Time Home Buyer Program Tax credit&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;1st time Home buyers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - if you buy a home and close on the deal by 11/30/09,&lt;em&gt; you may qualify for up to $8000 in Tax Credit's&lt;/em&gt; - that's a BIG refund Check around tax time - &lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com/blogsview/1050029/-8-000-first-time-buyer-tax-credit-check-received-&quot; title=&quot;photo of tax return with 1st time homebuyer tax credit included&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;and people are already getting them&lt;/a&gt;- why not you? !&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Northwest Indiana's Lake County&lt;/strong&gt; borders the &lt;strong&gt;Illinois State Line&lt;/strong&gt; and so even if you rent in &lt;strong&gt;Chicago-land,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;moving to NW Indiana&lt;/strong&gt; with &lt;strong&gt;lower taxes&lt;/strong&gt; and a do-able commute by expressway or&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nictd.com/systemmap.html&quot; title=&quot;South Shore Train Stops nearby&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; South Shore Train Line&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; should be worth your consideration - especially since comparable Homes are&lt;em&gt;much more affordable right over the stateline!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Take either of these affordable &lt;strong&gt;Town-homes for sale in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com/blogsview/188687/Make-Merrillville-Indiana-Your-Home-Sweet-Home&quot; title=&quot;Blog about living in Merrillville, IN 46410&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Town of Merrillville, Indiana&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
