For Sellers
There is much more to selling a property to putting up the sign and hoping for the best. You need to have the maximum exposure, non-stop, effective marketing and constant communication to get properties sold and at top dollar. Review my plan of action to market your home and compare it to any of my competitors. I think you will find that there is no other agent or company that offers you more or is as committed to helping you sell at the absolute best price possible.
If you have questions about anything or would like to make an appointment, feel free to call me at 219-617-5884 or if you would like an estimate of the value of your property you may also fill out my Home Value Request Form.

We had been under contract with another realtor to sell our home for a considerable length of time, 18 months, and truly believed it just wasn't a buyers market. There were property tax issues and many homes were for sale in our area. Frustrated, and near wits end paying 2 mortgages, taxes, insurance, nipsco and water, we agreed it was time to switch realtors. My husband called Lisa on a Thursday morning, and by that very afternoon we signed contracts with Coldwell Banker.
7 days later, Lisa was at my kitchen table with another contract, to sell our home. She sold our home in 7 days. In November. One Thursday later. Now, I'm sure there's a certain amount of luck involved in any sale, but believe it stems from the realtors hard work and dedication to the project at hand. In this case, our home sold in 7 days thru Lisa's and there's not much more I can say to validate that type of dedication to work or client. In negotiations we were informed, looked out for, stood up for, spoke with on a daily basis, and felt completely comfortable in her hands.
In closing we felt represented and confident in her knowledge and ability to bring us to that point. Overall, our experience exceptionally quick and painless, and I will, and have recommended Lisa to everyone I know.

Plan of Action
My Marketing Commitment to You
Preliminary:
- Take property photos & room dimensions
- Prepare marketing description defining property amenities
- Install electronic lockbox with security control and tracking technology
- Install personalized ‘For Sale’ sign with my photo and direct contact information
Lisa was great! She sold our house within 2 weeks of going on the market. She provided helpful information and kept us informed every step of the way. We will definitely work with Lisa again.

| Me and Suman personally thank you for the excellent service you provided us. You dealt with it as if it is your own property. I have not come across any other person who is more dedicated in their work. Most people do their job well, but only few go an extra-ordinary way to finish the job. Ramesh Veeragandham, Munster |
Communication
- My office will set-up and confirm all showings
- I will personally call for showing feedback and monitor showing appointments
- I will personally keep track of internet hits and listing traffic
- I will personally follow-up will buyer inquiries and show home to prospects
- I will personally keep you updated on showing feedback, advertising, and market changes
Communication is key to this business. Buyers want immediate response and you as a seller should expect no less. I make every effort to be just a phone call away to any of my clients. If a prospective buyer, an existing client, or another agent calls or emails me, and I am not immediately available, rest assured that a phone call will be received back within the same day…7 days a week!
The above lists the advertising avenues to get a contract on your property. When a contract is presented on your property, this is when my job truly begins. Strong negotiating skills are essential as the market gets tighter and more inventory sits on the market. Once accepted, I take the transaction to closing. Full Service Company…Full Service Agent!
