Pumpkin Spice is to Fall, as Andrew Luck is to the Colt...wait, too soon?
Over the past decade, Pumpkin Spice has all but become the official face of Fall’s Annual Campaign to be elected Best Season.
But here at RE/MAX Advanced Realty and The Indy Home Pros Team, we wanted to know WHY Pumpkin Spice is so popular with hipsters and soccer moms alike. Stay tuned for more info on that.
To better understand why Pumpkin Spice has captured America’s collective heart through its collective stomach, we must first understand its history. Just kidding.
No way we are going to bore you with its entire history; we might as well put a “click here to go back to whatever you were doing before you started reading this” button.
BUT! According to the History Channel, people have been using variations of Pumpkin Spice for roughly 3,500 years! The combination of spices listed below, nutmeg in particular, have been found in ancient pots in Indonesia, the Middle East, and Northern Africa.

You are looking to make this special holiday perfect and for all of your guests to be happy and full! Ultimately as much as you try to control things and have every little detail ready there will inevitably be things you miss and aren't thinking of right now. To help relieve some holiday stress here are a few little tips that can make this a holiday to remember.
1. Make a plan to tackle some cleaning: No one wants to host a holiday meal in a dirty or unkempt home. Start brainstorming a list of what needs to be cleaned, fixed, or put away. A list will help you to keep organized as well as keeping you in check for what needs to be done next.

Selling a home is a very time-consuming job and not that easy to do. This involves creating marketing materials for publicity, conducting showings, attending phone calls from inquirers or potential buyers and processing of the documents. Doing all these would take so much of your energy and can be so stressful especially if you are a first time seller. This is where Realtors can be of great help in selling your home!
Time and Energy. You will be able to save a lot of time because you can instead spend your quality time for your loved ones than attending to tasks involve. You will not be too busy and exhausted in doing your own job as well. In this way, you will gain peace of mind that someone trustworthy is doing the selling for you while not sacrificing too much of your time. Since time can never be turned back, it is very important that we should spend it very wisely and preciously.
Knowledge and Experience. Realtors are like other professionals licensed to perform tasks under their field of specialization. They study the real estate progress of the area they are assigned to, they would know the most appropriate value of your home by going through the details and they can also determine how much the repair cost would be. In time and experiences, real estate agents have figured out their own strategies on how to effectively market a home in certain areas.
Publicity. You can be freed from managing social media...
Having a home of your own is one of the greatest things you can have in life. It gives you the feeling of success, displays your dignity and provides the comfort you ever wanted. In order to find out the kind of environment you wanted to stay with for a long period of time, here are some things to consider in acquiring the perfect home for you.
- Location. Choosing where to live is a very crucial decision. You might be a nature-lover person and wanted to settle in a place where you can perfectly view the shapes of the mountains, hear the river water flows or the waves of the sea and breathe the clean-fresh air each day. Or perhaps, a person who is into modernized living that maximizes the advantages of the progressing technology wherein almost everything is conveniently available all the time.
- Cost-efficiency. The size of the house should be just right for you and your family to utilize. You do not want to pay a larger tax, bigger electricity and water bills and more expenses for the maintenance of a home that is too big for all of you.
- Community. You might be looking for a beautiful and charming home but you would also want to consider your safety and of your beloved ones. Try to get more information you can about the place you will move into. Learn about the crime rate of the area, the safer way or road to pass especially during late hours and talk to your neighbors to gain consciousness about the place.

A Realtor who is passionate about his work can be easily determined.

In this way, you and the agent build up a relationship which would make you both comfortable in working things out together. The real estate agent should also have a positive attitude and perspective where he would be hopeful and take actions to close the deal within the given time-frame. He also needs to be meticulous when it comes to paper works to make sure that all pertinent information is provided and 100% correct. This would avoid confusions, delays and conflicts as your transaction progresses.
A successful transaction depends on the amount of effort that you and most especially the agent is exerting and dedicating. This includes the time you give in conducting open houses and/or showings and in reaching out to all potential buyers you can. These attributes have been practicing by the Indy Home Pro’s Team leading them to meet client’s expectations, bringing great achievements in the real estate industry...
