Hello again! I hope everyone is having a great summer, minus the monsoon season (haha) we now appear to have in Indiana, but at least we're not where we were a year ago. Here's a brief report as for the home market. Things are looking up, at least to some degree. I have been fairly busy lately, including 3 accepted offers in one week, that's a pretty big deal for any realtor is this day and age. I have several clients I'm now working with as first time buyers, looking to take advantage of the ta… Continue

Hello again. I thought I would just let anyone looking to buy or sell a home that it is still a good time do so. If you follow the news at all I know it all sounds...well...depressing.

Hello. Just thought I would take a few minutes to let everyone know we now have our office up and running in downtown Terre Haute. We are still working on the Terre Haute link form the main web site, but I would be glad to help out with any real estate needs. While the news is some what bleak on the over all housing market it is a good time to buy. Although getting a loan is a little harder to do now then it use to be, it is a good time to find a bigger home or maybe get an investment property.… Continue
