Selling a Home: Must-Do Fall Maintenance
Fall is a time for change and selling your home is one of the biggest changes you can make. If you're eyeing an upcoming date to list your home, you want to make sure the entire property is ready for prospective buyers to view. Hopefully, you've been diligent with your seasonal maintenance tasks. As one of the most important responsibilities that come with homeownership, neglecting the many interior, exterior, and landscaping tasks around your property can lead to inconvenient and expensive problems down the road.
However, even if you have remained on-schedule with your monthly maintenance responsibilities, there are a few others you may want to focus on if you're hoping to list your home for sale in autumn. Our real estate agents share tips to help get your home ready.

Sellers: Does Your House Make the Smart Home Grade?
You've remodeled the bathrooms, upgraded the kitchen and put up a fresh coat of paint on every wall. Your landscape is lush, your garage door is brand new and your home's curb appeal is enough to catch the eye of any passerby. What more could a prospective buyer ask for when looking at South Bend homes for sale?
Although the traditional advice for home sellers preparing to list their property has always revolved around updating the kitchen, bathrooms, and exterior, today's real estate market is full of buyers who crave a contemporary upgrade that requires much more than new windows and doors.
Technology from Wall to Wall
Technology has been integrated into nearly every aspect of our lives, including our homes. Products small and large now come with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities. Appliances and devices are designed with complex computer systems that enable us to control these resources by voice, with a single touch, or even remotely from miles away. These innovations dramatically change the way we engage and interact with our homes.

6 Curb Appeal Tips to Sell Your Michiana Home
When you are looking to sell your Michiana home this spring, you will want to spruce the place up to make it more appealing to buyers. It is a good idea to contact our real estate agents for insight into what home buyers in the area want. This can prevent you from putting time and money into home improvement projects that will not increase your home's value.
Tackling your home's curb appeal is a great place for you to start. After all, first impressions are important. Here are six essentials to improve your house's curb appeal and attract potential buyers.
- Soap and Water
It may seem like a no-brainer, but making sure the outside of your house is as clean as the inside is one of the simplest but most important things you can do to improve your home's value. If your siding has acquired any soot or grime, get a bucket of soapy water and a long-handled, soft-bristled brush and get to work. It might not occur to a prospective buyer to be impressed by how clean the exterior is, but it is guaranteed they will notice if it is dirty.

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.

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.
