This testimonial is from 1st Time Home buyers in Northwest Indiana that selected us to be their buyer agents!    This was our 1st home purchase. We had been renting and our lease was up. Plus the rent was too high. We made the choice to ask F.C.Tucker for help in finding a home. Time was of the essence. We had 40 days. I needed to find the best deal in our childrens school zone and right now. Jeff & Grace pulled a few options on homes. We found what we wanted and in a blink of an eye we had a home. We were walked through the process aware of everything. Not a thing was missed in our questions or concerns.Jeff & Grace really went out of their way for us. We were so glad we selected F.C.Tucker. Our family now has a home. A home of our own, no more paying too much for rent or worrying if ...

  There are some people we've met and gotten to know over a period of time because they work for the service providers we frequent on a regular basis (i.e. bank, dry cleaners, grocery, restaurants, auto shops etc..).   We also know that these service providers meet many other real estate professionals because of their occupations that serve the public, so they have many choices when it comes to selecting a Real Estate Broker to represent them in the purchase of a home!   It humbles us that we were asked recently by a Valparaiso, Indiana Home Buyer to represent them in the purchase of this lovely property! As always, we appreciate your business and referrals! F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate Serving NW Indiana 13 Lincolnway - Valparaiso, Indiana 46383 With more than $3 billion in annual ...

  While we were at our friends 4th of July get together this summer, we struck up a conversation with mutual friends we had not seen in awhile and before we knew it we were giving them the name of some lenders we work with to call the following week and see if they could get pre-approved to buy their 1st home verses sign another (increasing) rent lease. About 10 weeks later - they closed escrow on an affordable, home sweet home! 1st Time Home Buyers chose F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate to represent them in the purchase of this Valpo property.

When pre- approved buyers call us and tell us they have sold their home and need to buy NOW, we listen. There is a system we have to weed out homes that do not match buyers criteria so as not to waste their precious time. We show the homes that make the cut and then re-show the top few a 2nd time. In this case, it was all in one (long) days work. Another Valparaiso Indiana Home Sold and F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate represented the qualified buyers.

Price, Condition and Marketing are 3 of many variables that impact how quickly real estate sells. This Valparaiso, Indiana Condo for sale listed by F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate is an example. When we meet with the seller we informed them of how long the active condominium listings were on the market in their neighborhood and their list prices and reductions and presented the recent sold com-parables as well. Thankful to say none of those stats really mattered :)  Our wide spread marketing combined with our clients cooperation to have the property immaculate for showings, caused a flurry of  inquiries plus multiple buyers viewed this home in the 1st week and a 99% list to ask price offer was accepted from well qualified buyers in just 10 days on the  market!  We are still getting cal...

We've written about Back Up Offers in Real Estate several times before. We encourage our Northwest Indiana Home Sellers to continue showing their property for back-up offers, even after an offer to purchase has been accepted. Sale Pending Does Not Mean SOLD. There is a status on our local GNIAR Multiple Listing Service that reads:PS = There is an accepted Purchase Agreement, yet the sellers wish the property to stay on the market.When this Valparaiso, Indiana Home For Sale listed by F.C.Tucker 1st Team Real Estate received an offer in just 1 month on the market, our repeat client already knew from selling previous properties using our professional services that they would continue to show the home by appointment for back up offers only. The real work in closing a transaction begins afte...

Recently we closed escrow on a property in Valparaiso, IN 46383 that was the result of a successful online bid for a HUD Home.   The buyer was referred to us by peers from work.   We did not look at HUD homes initially as this was a 1st time Home Buyer and sometimes the condition and repairs needed for a HUD home can be overwhelming.   We warned our buyer that foreclosure real estate transactions are atypical. There usually are more obstacles to overcome since many (not all) HUD Homes are: Sold As-Is   Utilities and water are turned off  and the buyer pays the cost to turn them on for a limited time frame for home inspections and appraisal.   Home Inspections are usually for information only for the buyer to decide whether or not they want to continue with the transaction.   Missing Ut...
