My Blog
Spring is in the air here in Fort Wayne! The forecast for today (according to WANE.COM) is 57 AND SUNNY, which means it will probably end up being 65 AND SUNNY, which means that I need to hurry up and write this blog post and get my phone calls in so I can get out and enjoy it a bit! Here are some of the things I love about spring in Fort Wayne: I love the Fort Wayne Rivergreenway! It is a trail that runs along the banks of the St. Marys, St. Joseph and the Maumee Rivers. The Greenway is 19.5 miles and runs through many interesting places in Fort Wayne and New Haven, including Johnny Appleseeds grave site and the replica of the old fort. My wife Amanda and I have ridden our bikes up and down these trails many times and cant wait to get out there. Plus my butt seems to have gotten bigger over the winter so I need to GET TO WORK! 
Okay, this isnt actually me but I thought it would be funny. Dont forget all of the golf courses in the Fort Wayne area! There are many public golf courses in Fort Wayne and surrounding areas. Some of my favorites are the par 3 course at Shoaff Park, Riverbend Golf Course, and Clear Creek over near Huntington Indiana. I like Clear Creek the best because you can take your shirt off and have a few beers while you golf. ( Ill spare you a picture on this one ) And of course my favorite activity to do in Fort Wayne during the spring and summer FORT WAYNE TIN CAPS BASEBALL!! The new stadium downtown is a BLAST! Hook me up with a couple of $5 lawn seats, an ice cold Smithwicks, and Im good to go! Oh, I hear they are pretty good too, won the championship last year.  I welcome spring with open arms!!!!!

If walls could whisper, just imagine the stories you'd hear from this Craftsman-style Bungalow...built on a parcel of land once owned by Judge Samuel Hanna who purchased it in the 1820's, reportedly designed by Indiana's first woman architect in the early 1900's, and former home of Fort Wayne native and artist, Gina Soo Golden who created the floor mosaic, 'The Tree of Life', in the foyer...this home has a nice blend of the old and the new. The old -- hardwood floors (even under the carpet), a built-in bookcase with restored, leaded glass doors, and a floor-to-ceiling hutch for starters. The new(er) -- remodeled kitchen with Italian floor tile, ceramic wall tile, oak cabinets, and neutral counters; remodeled bath with jet tub, glass block, ventilating system, and ceramic wall and floor tiles; GFA, CA, HWH, electrical and plumbing. Nice-sized yard with patio for backyard enjoyment leads to the garage which comfortably accomodates 2 cars with additional room for a workbench and storage. 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, 1310 square feet for $69,900! 2925 Crescent has been reduced to $79,299! 7310 Woodbury has been reduced to $92,299! 4017 Hoagland has been reduced to $42,579!

There are many reasons I love being a Realtor in Fort Wayne, but one of the things I enjoy the most is showing houses. It helps build rapport with clients, helps me to get to know what they like and don't like, and sometimes full of surprises. Today we were showing homes in rural areas to some clients that are relocating to the Fort Wayne area. It was around 2:00 or so when we got to our appointment. The listing agent said that the door would be open and to just go ahead and go on in (gotta love small towns!). While we were in the kitchen (there were 6 of us), the son of the home owners opened the front door, looked up, saw us and did his best Macaulay Culkin impersonation. AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! 
I suppose his mom forgot to tell him we were coming. His sister followed him in and we explained who we were and why we were in their house. The girl put a scowl on her face, went into the living room, turned on the tv, folded her arms and didn't look up. We left shortly after that. :) There have been so many... like when the lock box didn't work and my clients REALLY wanted to see the house. I noticed that a window was unlocked so I called the listing agent. "Um, sure Jared, if you want to climb through the window that's okay with me, just don't hurt yourself!". Mission accomplished!
I will never forget THE SPOOKY HOUSE. It was November, it was cold, it was rainy, and it was AT NIGHT! The spooky house was on the corner of two busy intersections in north Fort Wayne. It was big, blue, and from the moment we walked in we all felt weird. The inside was full of dark paneling, old light fixtures, and lots and lots of cob webs. 
Oh did I mention IT WAS DARK and we had to use our flashlights??? After about five minutes I told my client to have fun looking and I would wait for him on the porch. As I turned my flashlight landed on two old porcelain dolls hanging from the ceiling by a noose. I don't remember if I screamed but I was OUT OF THERE!!!!
You would think that a home listed in the $350,000 range would be immaculate right? Wrong. The pictures looked great online and the home was in a very nice neighborhood. We were all very excited to see it until we walked in the front door and were overwhelmed by a strong urine odor. We lasted about 5 minutes before we had to leave. Disgusting. And my favorite... Two of my favorite clients of all time are Corey and Kim. Kim is the kindest person you will meet and Corey is the FUNNIEST! My wife and I were showing them a home that is listed by a company that doesn't use lock boxes and leaves the front door unlocked. When we pulled up to the drive we noticed two bikes in the driveway. We thought that maybe there were some kids messing around in there... WE WERE WRONG. We announced ourselves very loudly and proceeded to walk through the home. When we got to the back area I heard Corey say "Hey there are people back there. HOLY S*** THEY ARE HAVING SEX!!" The couple jumped up, hurried to put their clothes on, and then fed us this story about how they wanted to buy the house and that the agent on the sign won't return their calls. They left and we had a good laugh. I called the agent and told him that he might want to start using lock boxes. :) There you have it, some fun times showing houses in Fort Wayne!!
