We are Blessed  that most of our business comes from referrals from past clients family & friends!We still do call on Expired Listings to offer our services.Like this home that we Sold in Valparaiso, Indiana in which we were the 3rd brokers to list the property.The sellers did not know us at all prior to our call.

 Sometimes sellers try a different listing agent and then call us after their property doesn't sell.Like this Valparaiso Indiana Home we listed years ago and the sellers took it off the market because they decided to keep it and rent it as an investment property.When the local Real Estate Market started improving last year, they listed the home with another brokerage.After the listing expired this year without selling, they called us again and asked if we would be willing to take the listing again.We did and ended up finding a qualified 1st time home buyer buyer  (a Trulia email lead who had a relative in the mortgage business that knew hundreds of other REALTORS). This Valparaiso, Indiana Home listed and SOLD by F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate.If we can be of  service to you in selling...
