Pay It Forward Elkhart County Santa Run & Stroll
The holiday season is fast approaching, and there's no better time to enjoy some fun for a good cause. As always, our real estate agents in Elkhart County want to make sure you know about all the happenings in the area, and one of our favorite holiday traditions is right around the corner – the annual Santa Run and Stroll.
An Indiana Tradition
Starting in 2010, the Santa Run and Stroll has become a mainstay of the holiday season in Elkhart County. This year, the run will be taking place in Bristol, Indiana for the first time, and we can't wait! Proceeds from the event go toward the Michiana Pay It Forward Foundation, an organization that helps youths in Indiana and Michigan to have a positive impact on their community and world through "paying it forward" without expectation of return.

5 Reasons It's Smart to Buy a Home During the Holidays
The holiday season is a great time for decking the halls, spending time with family and friends and… house shopping? Although it might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of fall and winter festivities, you may want to consider adding a new home to your holiday shopping list. Our real estate agents share some reasons why it's the perfect time of year to buy a home.

Less Competition
Most people take time away from house-hunting in late November and December to enjoy the holidays, which creates a perfect low-stress opportunity for home buying. Inventory is typically lower this time of year, allowing you to compare homes without feeling overwhelmed by the number of choices. When you find your dream home, the seller is more likely to accept your offer. There's also less of a chance you'll end up in the middle of a stressful bidding war.

Home Buying Fees You May Not Think About
When you're looking at South Bend homes for sale, it's important to pay attention to your budget. Unfortunately, many people don't think about the additional fees you'll encounter when buying a home. The exact amount of money you'll need can vary significantly. Even though you may not have a firm number until you are going through the closing process, there will be extra expenses, so you need to be prepared. Don't let any of these fees catch you by surprise.
Before You Buy a House Know What You Could Be Paying
- Home Inspections. Most people know about the general home inspection, but depending on the property, the results of the general inspection, and local ordinances, additional inspections may be required.

Buying a House: 6 Must-Dos Before Closing
Finding that one amazing home you love is exciting! Your offer was accepted, but it's not officially yours quite yet. Closing is the last part of the process and that's when the property officially changes ownership. Our REALTORS® are here to make your home-buying easier with these six must-dos before closing day.
- Make sure contingencies are completed
The sale isn't finalized until all of the contingencies are handled. In most cases that includes the financing, the inspection, and the appraisal. These are all important because if the financing falls through, the inspection turns up major problems, or the appraisal comes in at less than the purchase price, you have the right to back out of the sale.

Setting Your Listing Price: Start By Doing Your Homework
Determining an appropriate listing price is one of the most critical steps toward selling your home. Typically, the most interest in your home will be in the first few weeks it's on the market. So overpricing your home can scare away lots of potential buyers. But how do you know what a fair selling price for your home is? Doing research will help you get it right. Our real estate agents work with clients throughout Northern Indiana and Southwestern Michigan to list their homes on the local real estate markets. Here are three resources to help you determine a listing price for your home.
