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...

 We received a call from Valparaiso , IN home owners to list their property that had expired from the Multiple Listing Service after more than 7 months on the market with another brokerage. During that same time period we had listed and sold their next door neighbors home quickly  and  listed and sold another property down the street.  Early showing feedback confirmed our suggestions and at the end of the 1st month on the market the sellers agreed to have some of the rooms in the home painted neutral and carpets cleaned. Even though it was winter, we negotiated an accepted offer in 2.5 months! We have listed and sold other homes in Country Club Estates Neighborhood Center Township Valparaiso Indiana 46383 before.

 This Porter County Indiana Property zip code 46385 sold so fast, I didn't have a chance to write a blog about it when we 1st listed it! We did however do a pre-listing video... We were interviewed by Valparaiso, Indiana home sellers who were not ready to list their property when we 1st met them due to work being done to prepare the property to put on the market- (i.e. landscaping improvements, new carpeting was on order for the family room, a new deck was in the process of being installed and packing was underway for items not in use to help de-clutter the home). By doing a pre-listing video outside of the home briefly describing it's features and then posting it on various social media sites, we had the opportunity to market the property in advance of it being seen on the MLS (Multipl...
