I’m a Broker Now!!

Michelle Morris — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:24:23 +0000

I got this email from the Indiana Professional Licensing Board:

Congratulations Michelle Morris! Your Real Estate Associate Broker (license or permit or registration) has been issued by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency.

So what does that mean? I now have a broker’s license rather than just a salesperson’s license. That means that I have more training than most agents. I have taken a 52-hour course and passed 2 tests in the course, then passed the state of Indiana licensing test. I am committed to my career and my profession.

With this license, I can (dare I say it?) RULE THE WORLD!!! Well, not really. I can manage an office though, or someday start my own real estate company. I did NOT pursue this license in order to do those things though. I just believe that continuing my education is very important. It is another way that I can serve you and provide more than other agents can.

(Bonus points to you if you can tell me what movie I quoted!)

: Call me for your tour!

Welcome to 6078 Pine Bluff Drive, in Avon, Indiana! This Estridge home is located in Whispering Pines, and is only 3.5 years old. They chose the best lot in the neighborhood to build on, and now it can be yours.

The multi-level wood deck can be accessed from the kitchen sliding doors, or from the finished walk-out basement. From the deck, you can admire the wooded lot, which slopes down to a neighborhood pond, and NO other houses behind you!

This house is gorgeous. When you walk into the front door, you are in a welcoming foyer, on the left is the formal living room, which the sellers have chosen to use as an office. If you added curtains to the french doors, you could even use it as a guest bedroom. On your right is the dining room, perfect for entertaining or enjoying family meals. The foyer and kitchen have gleaming hardwood flooring.

Once in the kitchen, you will enjoy the stainless steel appliances, which stay with the house. The open floorplan means you can be in the kitchen or breakfast room, and still be involved with the rest of your family in the family room! They might be enjoying a book in front of the fireplace or watching tv, or even finishing up some homework at the kitchen table. The open floorplan is perfect for everyday living!

Upstairs, the master suite awaits. It is a huge room, with an oversized walk-in closet, and fabulous master bathroom. You can relax after a long day in the garden tub. Three more spacious bedrooms are found upstairs, and best of all, the laundry room is upstairs too so you won’t have to haul laundry up and down the stairs.

In the finished basement, there is another fireplace. A large storage room is ready for all of your extra things, but still easily accessible. The garage can actually fit 3 cars, with a stacked bay. If you only need room for 2 cars, this would be perfect to fit the lawnmower, motorcycle, or a workshop area!

Call me today, I can’t wait to show you this gorgeous home!! Click here for more details and more photos!

Indianapolis Most Affordable, 9th time running

Michelle Morris — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 18:29:59 +0000

For the ninth time in a row, Indianapolis has been ranked as the most affordable housing market by the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index (HOI), released this week. Over 87% of homes sold in the Indianapolis area were considered affordable to families earning the area’s median income.

In addition to our very affordable big city, Indiana is also home to the most affordable smaller metro area. Kokomo, Indiana tops the list with over 90% of the homes being sold within reach for the families who earn the area’s median income.

For more info on this study, you can check out the National Association of Home Builders website.

Hilbert Mansion Sale Pending (With Carpenter Realtors, Of Course!!)

Michelle Morris — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:52:29 +0000

You may have read my report that the Hilbert Mansion had an offer on it. Apparently, that deal has not worked out, but now there is a sale pending on the $20 million mansion.

According to a recent Indiana Business Journal article, there is a new buyer for the mansion, and an agreement has been reached. Carpenter Realtors brought the buyer, and according to this article, the sale is pending.

The managing broker says that the buyer is NOT the Carmel Institute, but will not reveal who the buyer actually is. The property, located on 40 acres on West 116th street, has been on the market for over 2 years.

**UPDATE** 1/7/09…. as of today, this property is still not sold. Perhaps the offer did not get accepted as was reported by the Indiana Business Journal, or perhaps it fell apart after the offer was accepted but before closing. Either way, the Hilbert Mansion IS still currently on the market, so if you want to buy it, just give me a call and I’ll write it up for you right away!

Anytime Fitness coming soon to Avon

Michelle Morris — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:50:17 +0000

This sounds like a really neat new fitness idea, so I thought I would share the info I found. I know I will be searching for a new workout plan when the new year rolls around, and many people will be joining me in the resolution to lose weight. According to the Hendricks County Flyer, Avon residents will soon have a new choice in Health Clubs.
Anytime Fitness is a health club that you can visit literally ANYTIME. Members are given a special card which allows access to the club 24/7, even when it is not staffed. You can check their website for more info, and I will update you as I learn more about this. I do not yet know exactly where the club will be or what it will offer, but I am definitely interested in finding out more about it. Maybe we can be workout partners!
