Recently we closed on a home in NW Indiana listed by F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate. Marketing a Home to the Masses to find a Ready, Willing and Able Buyer is only 1/2 the battle now a days in getting a home sold:) The Lending guidelines are much tighter, so we continue to show our listed properties for back-up offers for our sellers, even if a buyer has a pre-approval letter submitted with the offer to purchase. Going back on the market because of failure to obtain financing, this Northwest Indiana Home Listed by F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate was known by Buyers agents for it's well maintained condition, and so we received another offer from the same REALTOR (different buyer),shortly after the 1st deal fell! Lesson learned - THE HOME IS NOT SOLD until the loan is funded AND the DEE...

There is nothing quite like live theater! We love it. There are several options in NW Indiana for this type of venue,not to mention being so close to the big City of Chicago, next to Broadway, it's THE place for theater IMHO.   Last year we went to see a production of the Musical play RENT at the Radisson Star Plaza Theater in Merrillville, IN   That evening,there was a FREE Drawing and as always, we come prepared with Business Cards, so I put one in the fishbowl and proceeded to enjoy the performance.   To our surprise, we received a letter in the mail announcing we were winners!  -> Season Tickets to the TOWLE Theater in Hammond for the 2011 season! So last night, our Friday night date night, we attended the opening night performance of RUTHLESS at Towle and it was Fabulous & Funny! ...

We've Blogged about living in Hammond, IN before. It's close proximity to Chicago-land by expressway, IN Tollroad or South Shore Train, and amazing College Scholarship opportunity for children of residents! This week, we listed for sale this fixer upper home priced below recent appraised value that is subject to court approval of offers as it is an Estate Sale. If you are a handyman, Investor, or qualify for a FHA 203K Loan  this may be a consideration. xxxxxxxx

It's a Small World !   We listed a home on Olcott Avenue in Hammond, Indiana and awhile later got a call from the homeowner a few doors down to list their home to sell as well! For tracking purposes, we always ask when someone calls-> how they found us? This out of state owner asked the tenant living in their property to find a local REALTOR, so the tenant remembered the home a few doors down the block was up for sale, went outside, copied down our phone number and website address from our F.C.Tucker For Sale Sign and voila! A F.C.Tucker For Sale Sign in the Yard Leads to a another Northwest Indiana Listing on the same block!   Each home was a different style and Both Homes are now SOLD ! Who says for sale signs don't work anymore? Although more people start their search on the Internet...

Today we Closed on A Home we Listed For Sale in Hammond, Indiana. We've Blogged about Hammond before - Grace went to High School there (Bishop Noll) - so the REGION (as it is nicknamed) is very familiar to us. Funny thing, when we listed this property, we had to drive by several For Sale By Owner Homes in Hammond, IN. When we took down the F.C.Tucker For Sale Sign and lockbox in preparation for closing, those FSBO signs were still in those yards? In today's challenging market, a full time professional REALTOR can make a difference, give us a call!

Getting a lot and home for under $200,000 in an area that offers an extremely short commute to Chicago, features wooded lots and is close to a spectacular city park under construction is an incredible combination that is tough to find today. That's why Parrish View subdivision is worth a visit to see for yourself what the neighborhood offers. For more information about building in Parrish View, we'd love to help you out - Parrish View, Hammond

     Ever leave out an ingredient when cooking a tried & true recipe ?  Either by accident, you may forget a step, or worse yet, on purpose, you omit an important part of the recipe thinking : "Oh, it'll be ok, if I skip this altogether or maybe substitute that instead....only to find out you have a distasteful mess to serve your dinner guests?

 We closed today on a Fixer Upper Home in Northwest Indiana.  It was not the first offer written on the property, that offer expired and our seller did not want to grant any further extension of time since showings were plentiful. It was not even the second offer on this property, that was supposed to be "a sure thing" to close, but it wasn't :( It was the Back - Up Offer to the second offer that Closed within a few days of a mutual release being executed by all parties! We have always encouraged our clients to continue showings on their property that is listed with us, even after an accepted offer to purchase has been agreed upon by all parties! We also encourage other co-operating REALTORS who show our properties, that BACK UP OFFERS are welcome! Sale Pending Does Not Mean SOLD ! At t...
