October 2017 Steve & Jack's Home News

Happy Fall! Football season and school are in full-swing and we hope you have enjoyed the mild temperatures that made it seem we went from spring straight to fall. Speaking of football, we hope you received your football schedule magnets so you don't miss a game. Enjoy!

Our thoughts/prayers are with the people who have lost so much in the wake of the hurricanes with more coming. We hope you have been able to help in whatever way you are able. Keller Williams has donated millions of dollars, several semis full of food and water, and tens of thousands of volunteer hours to help where we can. If everyone pitches in, it will go a long way toward helping these people who have lost everything.

Unfortunately, updated statistics from MIBOR haven't been released yet, so we don't have any updated info to report since last month. Next month, we will be sure and send the updated stats.

Big news from Steve & Brigid in that Ana was selected as one of 200 people out of over 2,500 applicants to travel to Europe next summer with her Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp International Program with the performance choir! We are so excited for her, but at the same time anxious about her being away for an entire month. She has practice up at the camp in Michigan for 3 weekends between now and April and then goes up again in June for an intensive training week at camp before flying out for the next three weeks. She will be visiting Germany, Belgium, & Italy and staying with host families in each country. Obviously, the opportunity is once-in-a-lifetime and we couldn't say no, if Ana wanted to do it. She is very excited and we know she will remember this experience for the rest of her life and are so proud of her for earning this opportunity. We are curious, do you have a child, grandchild, or friend who has taken this trip or one similar to it? Any advice? We would love to hear it...

Tali is preparing for her gymnastic competition season, which starts in November. She is working on her apparatuses and routines and loves every minute of it!

We leave October 13th for Fall Break to return to Ireland again and see Steve's good friend Phil Miesle and his family who live there. They will also meet up with another good friend Jason Sprague who lives in Bristol, England. It should be an amazing adventure with beautiful scenery and complete with a stay in a 200+ year-old castle that may or may not be haunted! We will let you know!

Mary Anne had a successful hernia surgery a couple of weeks ago and is recovering nicely. Her next procedure is a total knee replacement in November. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated along with a prayer or two.

Kylie is still doing great and enjoying Jackson getting a little older. She has been a trooper during this busy summer season.

We hope to see you at our September Happy Hour THIS Wednesday at Matt The Miller's in Carmel from 5-6:30PM. We had a great turnout last month and look forward to another great turnout this month. Please stop by for a drink and some appetizers! Sponsorship opportunities are still available, so if you would like to sponsor an upcoming Happy Hour, let Steve know. It is a great opportunity to get your name in front of over 500 people.

Speaking of Happy Hour, due to Fall Break falling on the 3rd Wednesday next month, our October Happy Hour will take place on the 2nd Wednesday (October 11th) from 5-6:30PM at Matt The Miller's. Please make a note now of the change in date for October only. November will be on the 15th and December we take off due to the holidays and our VIP Client Appreciation Party on the 2nd.

Finally, don't forget about our VIP Client Appreciation Party on Saturday, December 2nd at Hamilton Town Center. You should have received a Save The Date postcard already. A formal invitation will be following shortly. We hope you can make it as this is our favorite event of the entire year!!! Photos with Santa should also be taking place again this year. A date/time has yet to be set, but details will be sent as soon as we have them.

Lots going on, for sure and we hope to see you at one or all of these fun events!! Thank you for being such amazing clients and referral partners!!!

October 2017 Steve & Jack's Home News

We hope back-to-school went smoothly, if you have kiddos in school. It always seems like a bitter-sweet time for both kiddos and parents, who are ready to get back to their school-year schedules. A break, however is always nice. We hope you have settled back into a routine and school is going well.

Steve & Brigid continue to keep busy chasing Ana and Tali around. Ana is back practicing at Indianapolis Children's choir twice/week, school choir once/week and band every day. Needless to say, she is immersed in music! Tali is still our little gymnast and practices 4 hours/week. She absolutely loves every minute of it!

Mary Anne & Jack are on a vacation now and will be seeing Jack's brother who lives in North Carolina. They always enjoy spending time with him. In October, Steve's family and Jack & Mary Anne will be taking their annual family trip and this year are going to Disney World for the week. They are super-excited and Steve & Brigid are anxious to attend the Behind The Magic tour at Disney, which is an all-day behind the scenes tour. Please let Steve know if you have done this before and what your experience was like.

The real estate market has been on FIRE this fall!!! It is significantly busier than usual, but many houses are selling in hours with multiple offers. There are still some areas and price ranges where houses are much slower to sell, of course.

Thank you to Jamie Ellis, Jason Patch and Brett Breedlove for hosting us at Katz Sapper Miller this week to give a presentation on Everything You Wanted to Know about Real Estate, But Were Afraid to Ask. We had a great group and a lot of fun!! If your company would like to schedule a lunch and learn, please give us a call. We would be happy to talk on myriad real estate topics.

We hope to see you tomorrow at Matt The Miller's for our monthly Happy Hour from 5-6:30PM. Please stop by for a drink and some yummy appetizers. We will have a big group this month. Also, don't forget to mark your calendars for our VIP Client Appreciation Movie on December 3rd. We would love to pack the house again. Look for your invitation in the coming weeks.
