    Engaging first time Lafayette, IN home buyers through the closing AND THEN SOME!!!     I love working with first time home buyers in Lafayette, Indiana!  Most are internet savvy and have done their homework well ahead of time.  I have a special bond with young, first time home buyers as I taught Social Studies and Health Education for 31 years at the secondary level.

      Rodney Dangerfield and "AS IS":  two words that get NO RESPECT!   Lafayette, Indiana Real Estate Market homes for sale going the extra mile for our clients.   Who could ever forget  Rodney Dangerfield doing his stand up routine always lamenting about never getting any respect?  It is obvious that he was never a listing agent who added those always followed and adhered to comments on the Lafayette, IN MLS listing sheet to fellow agents, "house sold AS IS".  Otherwise, he would be right up there with nurses, doctors, and teachers as the some of the most respected individuals! My wife Sharon has worked very hard with her Lafayette, IN real estate AS IS listing, and has tirelessly moved forward with the inspection process that has resulted in the seller putting on a new roof and makin...

        I'm Back, with BACK TO BACK - I'VE GOT YOUR YOUR BACK, FRIDAY STORIES   Last Friday I was doing a walk through in a short sale and I foolishly parked across the street of the house we were checking on.   Why foolish? I was greeted by a large dog that came up aggressively to my passenger window- a Doberman that was frothing at the mouth to be exact!  He was frantically trying to get into the house on the side of the street that I parked. I waited for him to go around the side of the house before I opened the door and crossed the street with my back turned to the dog. (not exactly the smartest thing I have done lately!) As I neared the top of the driveway to open up the house we were checking on my buyer all of a sudden yelled, "JUMP INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK!!!"  and Tom moved f...

  Erin and I are passionate about practicing Real Estate in Lafayette In!!! As a Real Estate Agent in Lafayette In. I am truly blessed to be able to preview a lot of homes that are for sale in our community. I wanted to share with you a listing that we have located in the Highland Park Area!!!Why is this home so special?  In Real Estate we always use a phrase that you may have heard before Location, Location, Location. These are the 3 most important words in our trade:) The other thing I truly appreciate about this home is the character. We live in a home that was built early 1800’s and I find myself in awe when I look at the special attention that is given to detail. The crazy thing is that the carpenters in those days didn’t have the advanced tools that we now have, they built everyt...
