You heard me right! Every bank out there would prefer you stay in the house, even if you are behind in your payments, even several months behind.  Why would they want you to stay there? Because it is in their best interest (and you still have a place to stay) for the home to remain occupied.  It keeps down vandalism and theft. Now, if you are in pre forclosure or have been served a forclosure complaint you still have options.  There are many solutions to just moving out and giving up. Have you heard of a Short Sale but don't know what it means?  Or if you and your home qualifies for a Short Sale? As your Elkhart County Real Estate Expert and Certified Short Sale Specialist, I can explain those options to you in detail.  Pick up the phone and call me today for your private consultation. ... 09/19/2008

You want to get the best price for your home in Elkhart, plus sell it in the least amount of time. In a buyers' market such as the one we are in now, homes will take longer to sell. Therefore, it's important that you make the right moves at the very beginning of your homeselling process to remain competitive. Here are some common traps that many Elkhart homeowners fall into and how to avoid them. 1. Over-pricing - It's easy to think your home is worth more than the current market may support, particularly after the long run-up in home prices. Since home prices have cooled in markets around the country, home sellers must be prepared to negotiate on price and terms, and stay flexible to other stipulations benefiting the buyer. Sellers must also keep their emotions in check during the proc... 09/19/2008

Today is one of those days here in Hoosier Land. One of those days that makes you glad you are alive and glad you are in Elkhart County! Low humidity, bright sunny day. Low 80's.  This is the day I will "store" in my mind to recall during those dark winter mornings when the sky can barely light up enough to drive to work without running your headlights all day long. Another reason to be happy today? Its harvest time in Indiana.  The sweetest sweet corn, peaches, green beans, tomatoes, blueberries and the melons! I am like a drunken sailor reeling from one drink to the next on the constant stream of luscious fruits and vegetables making their way to my kitchen. One place they are making their way from is the American Countryside Market, CR26, just south of town off of SR 19. Rising to oc... 08/07/2008
