March Steve & Jack's Home News

Welcome to March Madness, St. Patrick's Day, Lent, and Daylight Saving Time! Between the super-busy spring market, warmer weather, Coronovirus taking over the news, and a multitude of other events and headlines, this proves to be a busy month!!!

If you are a long-time reader of this newsletter, you may remember about 10 years ago I recorded a video to go along with the newsletter and for various reasons, it wasn't continued. I am happy to say, after a long break a new video was recorded and we hope you will take a couple of minutes to watch and give us your feedback. You can watch it via the link below.

In this month's newsletter, there are some pretty fun and interesting articles:
Freedom
Spidey-senses
Brain teasers (do you know the answer???)
Is medical advice on the internet accurate?
Time spent on activities in your life
Positive job habits
Where do you keep your phone?
An ancient mystery
Home buying/selling reports
**Don't forget about our March Happy Hour on Thursday, March 19th from 5-6:30pm at Matt The Miller's! Free drinks and appetizers are provided. You bring the laughter! We usually have a great turnout and always have fun. Please RSVP to Patti at Patti@Welcome2Indy.com by Wednesday, March 18th. Hope to see you there!

Thank you to all of our loyal clients and referral partners for making us one of the top teams in the city of Indy again last year as well as earning the Angie's List Super Service Award for the 6th time in a row! We are extremely grateful and honored and look forward to continuing to serve you and those you care about in 2020.

Steve attended Keller Williams' annual convention in Dallas a couple of weeks ago. It is called Family Reunion. Tons of good information was shared, but mostly about technology and real estate. Keller Williams is not only the largest and fastest-growing real estate company in the world, but also has the most technology. We have invested over $1 BILLION in tech in the past two years and you will see some of this over the next few weeks and months. Our KW app has been redesigned and it is the most powerful out there. Several clients have already downloaded it and love it! Give it a try and tell us what you think!!

You will start to see on social media showcase videos of our VIP Vendor Partners. These are the essential parts of our team that allow us to provide the service you have come to expect from us. We cannot do it without them and get requests for their info almost daily. We thought it would be a good idea to launch a video series to highlight each of them over the next few months so you can get to meet and know them. We hope you enjoy the videos and get to virtually meet our extended team.

Finally, the market is HOT!!!! For the first time in my 20-year career the following five stats have aligned:
Lowest interest rates EVER
Lowest inventory EVER
Highest sales prices EVER
Lowest unemployment rate EVER
Highest number of job openings EVER
What does this mean to you?? If you or someone you care about is even remotely thinking of selling your house this year, NOW is the time to do it! These conditions will NOT last long. We have been almost begging people to put their house on the market as there isn't enough inventory to satisfy demand. We have over 50 buyers who cannot find a home!! Please call us and let us consult with you about your options so you can make an informed decision. We would love to help you take advantage of these historical seller conditions that will not last much longer. Call Steve at 317-573-1880 today!
