Here is what some of Billโs recent clients have to say about him:
โBill was a great asset to us in finding our perfect first home. He provided us with extensive valuable information every step of the way. He returned our calls promptly and took time to answer our questions thoroughly. He was patient, understanding and showed us the types of homes we wanted to see. We look forward to working with him in the future and would definitely recommend him to our friends and family.โ Sam and Vanessa Coveris, Crown Point, IN
โBill was very helpful. He explained the buying process fully and kept me informed every step of the way. He was very professional and went the extra mile to see to it that the purchase went as smoothly as possible for me. I would choose him again for any future real estate needs and recommend him to friends and family.โ Zack Williams, Chesterton, IN
โHe is always there for you when you need him. He has been our listing agent two times. We really enjoy working with him. He gave us positive suggestions to help us get the best possible price for our properties and kept us informed of reaction to our home after showings. We recommend him to family and friends and will use him again in the future.โ Roger and Lynda Maxey, Valparaiso, IN
โWe could not have picked a better Realtor. Bill is a dedicated professional who should be the standard for others to follow. He fully explained the buying process and took time to answer all our questions. He returned our calls promptly and kept us informed through every step.โ Joshua and Lillian Hampton, Portage IN
โBill was fantastic. I can't say enough about how wonderful he was and recommend him highly. He fully explained the buying process and really listened to my wants and needs.

Why "On-Line Curb Appeal" Is So Important Now
In todayโs world, the โ1st showingโ of any property is most likely to occur on the internet. Then, if the buyer is intrigued by what they see โon-lineโ, they will ask for an actual โwalk-thruโ to confirm their thoughts and feelings about a house. Thus, the โwalk-thruโ is actually the 2nd showing. By the way, according to a recent survey, 95% of homebuyers used the internet in their search for a home and 51% found the home they bought on the internet. Plus, 89% of them ranked photos as the most important feature of a real estate web site. Thus, it is imperative that your home has a top notch on-line presence with many high quality, well composed, well lighted and properly sequenced photos, because the competition starts there.
Great "On-line Property Presentations" For Better โ1st Showings"
When I put my โOn-line Property Presentationโ together, my goal is to create the best match of a buyer to a particular home. My strategy for achieving that is to create a captivating on-line presentation of the home. This system will provide great โ1st showingsโ of your property โon-lineโ and give you the best opportunity of having the best matched buyers ask for a โwalk thruโ of your home. The walk thru then becomes that buyerโs โ2nd showingโ and you are well on your way to getting the best buyer for your home and getting it sold.
