William Meadows just closed on his Franklin IN Short Sale purchase:   "I began looking for a home to purchase in August of 2009, and found the perfect house. I called Pam & Heather to inquire about the house, and in a short time got all of my questions answered. I found that the house was in ‘short sale' and didn't really understand the process, but did know that these take a while to workout. Heather offered to show me other homes in this price range because of the length of the typical process, and I appreciated her advanced notice, but the duration of the process was not a critical concern. Pam & Heather were in constant contact with the owners, the bank, and me during the process, both by phone and email. I was able to close on the house in time to secure the New Home Buyer tax cred... 06/15/2010

  There wasn’t much of a change in the total number of Franklin homes for sale in January, 2010 compared to last month. In fact, the Franklin real estate market has remained fairly stable over the past six months in this particular metric. The figures weren’t quite as good in the category of homes sales, with 19 units sold in January, 2010 compared to the six-month high of 42 that was set in October of 2009. The number of pending sales has followed a similar parabola, down from 28 in December to just 21 in January, 2010. A few variations aside, the average number of days spent on the market over the past six months has grown, reaching a 6-month high of 136 in January, 2010. This translates into an absorption rate of 7.8 percent based on the number of closed sales. While Franklin, India... 02/25/2010

Becuase Christmas is a mere day away, I thought that I would give a few tips to those who have a fur-baby in the house to help them have a Merry Christmas or happy holiday as well. Holiday costumes may be adorable one your dog, but if it has a rubber band to hold it on, remember that rubber bands can embedded themselves into the skin if left on too long.  Plus, your dog or cat could eat it and cause intestinal issues. Confetti and noise makers are fun for humans, but not for pets.  Noisemakers can hurt their delicate sense of hearing.  Confetti falls in the same category as the rubber bands -- tummy trouble is no fun! Chocolate is fatal to both dogs and cats. The scents coming out of the kitchen smell good to your four-legged friends as well.  Make sure that pots, pans and containers ar... 12/23/2008

Hi, Shirley Schmidt here. No, not the Shirley Schmidt on LA LAW. I am a Realtor/Broker Associate with Indiana's Largest (Independent) real estate firm CARPENTER REALTORS. I have been employed at Carpenter for about 4 years. I love it! I choose to practice the art of selling real estate after working in manufacturing for many years.

Carpenter is the best company to work for. We have over 800 agents but we are all a team, and when it comes to selling real estate team work is a must!  I love the people I work with and I love the company I work for.
