Home Sellers: How Important Is Energy Efficiency?
If you're in the housing market as a seller, you should know what features buyers are looking for in a new home. Our real estate agents are accustomed to selling homes in the South Bend area and know a thing or two about what buyers really want. Chief among them is energy efficiency, but does your home deserve that label?
Energy Efficiency: What's the Big Deal?
Maybe you've lived in your home for a few years, or perhaps you've been there for decades. In either case, the chances are you've grown accustomed to paying your energy bills at roughly the same clip year after year; however, like most of us, shopping around for better rates or, better yet, improving the energy efficiency of our homes isn't on our radar.

Home Buyers: Don't Miss These 5 Things During a Final Walk-Through
So you've sorted through the many South Bend homes for sale, found the perfect one, and your offer was accepted. You've got your financing in order and are anxiously anticipating your closing date. Congratulations! Your final walk-through and the closing are now the only steps standing between you and homeownership.
While the final walk-through might seem like a formality, it's actually very important. This is your last opportunity to ensure that any agreed-upon repairs have been completed as expected and there are no changes to the home since the last time you saw it. These five tips from our real estate agents will make the process easier and help ensure you don't miss a thing.
- Gather Up Your Essentials
Before you head over to the walk-through, take a minute and gather up all of the items you might need. These include a copy of your contract, your inspection summary, and your smartphone.
You might need to reference your contract or inspection documents if something doesn't seem right. Your smartphone will be invaluable if you need to take photos to document an issue. Most importantly, make sure your real estate agent comes with you. They've likely done this hundreds of times and can act as a second set of eyes to ensure you don't miss anything.
