Home Buying Tips: The Pros and Cons of Commuting
Before you finalize your list of new home must-haves, be sure you consider your commute time and travel costs. If you plan to buy a home in Saint Joseph, Michigan and work here too, it shouldn't be much of an issue. When the census documented local workers' travel time, they calculated an average 14.7 minute commute time. That's far less than the national average.
Our real estate agents understand the attraction of moving your family to a small town or suburb. Smaller communities have a lot to offer, but before you make a move, consider the pros and cons of an extended daily commute.

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.

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.

Why not let someone else do all the work this year?
We've selected a few warm and wonderful restaurants that are just perfect for Thanksgiving Day dining. You make a reservation, show up and enjoy.
