Geist Reservoir is a Reservoir man made out of Fall Creek in Northeast Indianapolis and Southeast Fishers, Indiana. The area is home to many Indiana local celebrities, politicians, and professional athletes. As a East Fishers Resident myself, I enjoy all Geist Reservoir has to offer. There is a marina and a waterfront Restaurant named Bella Vita. The public marina has boat slip rentals that run from approximately $1200-$2500 a season. Since I do not live directly on the lake, I have leased a slip here for over three years and enjoy it very much. I typically put my boat in April and take it out in the end of October every year. On the lake you can enjoy skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, and just taking a casual boat ride around the lake. Bella Vita serves Italian/Seafood American food and is very good. There are several other bars and restaraunts in the marina area including Puccinis and Eddy's as well. For non boaters there are many walking trails and other attractions such as rolling hills and wooded areas to be enjoyed by all.

For Indianapolis Indiana Homes for sale Geist has many opportunities. The most expensive currently available is over 11,000 sq ft for over 3.7 million. The lowest priced home on the lake is priced around $320,000 and it is in the Intracoastal of Geist section. There are many Indianapolis condos on the market as well starting at $235,000 in Shorewalk to approxmately $600,000 in Marina Village. There are still several lots available to build the home of your dreams as well. Homes on the main body of the lake tend to be more expensive and homes on the coves are less. Several of my client's prefer the coves for they are quieter during the boating season due to the coves being "no wake zones". The views on mainbody are hard to beat and with Real Estate prices being reduced significantly in the current buyer's market there are many options to choose from. If you are looking to live near the lake but not on it there are many less expensive options as well with some have deeded boat docks.

I am an expert Geist Realtor and I would be personally happy to show you homes anytime or answer any questions you have about the area and Indianapolis Real Estate for Sale. We sell many homes in the area and represent many buyers in purchasing homes as well. Myself and my group are available anytime at 317-513-7695 or 317-679-0108 or you can email us at aneal@c21scheetz.com  In the warmer months we give boat tours of the lake as well for our Real Estate clients. If you currently own a home you can also call me, Andrew Neal with The Andrew Neal Group at CENTURY 21 Scheetz anytime at 317-513-7695, and I would be happy to give you an approximate value of your home.  You can also visit us on the web at www.DealwithNeal.com.

I have clients that have a wonderful home for sale in Westfield Indiana at 2404 Corsican Circle.  The interior amenities would be found in a designer model home.  I would love to have the sink that they have in their guest bath.  Travertine stone throughout the kitchen and African maple floors too.  The problem I come across in marketing this Hamilton County Indiana homes is that it is really hard to get the feel of the amenities from the pictures.  We hired a professional photographer to take the pictures but I really think that you are only going to get the feel of the property by walking through it.  As great as the Internet has become of instant information and allowing clients to see the whole house inside and out..sometimes you just got to go inside.  For more information on this fabulous listing contact me at 317.814.8216 or lphillips@c21scheetz.com

No, no and no!  There are lots of Indiana homes for sale and sellers breathe a sigh of relief when their home is sold...no more doing a mad cleaning dash through the home with two hours notice...no more throwing the kids in the car and driving around the block for an hour...no more fear of cooking salmon for dinner and having a "stinky fish house."  Most sellers feel the weight of the world when the contract is signed and the sold sign has gone up!  And it is a really great thing to gain back some normalcy...but be ware!  The next step of negotiation is the inspection ( a future blog!) and the home still has to have an acceptable appraisal.  Some sellers get a little lax and feel like they can let things go...not a smart choice!  Let me share a story from a recent transaction. 

I looked at lots of Indiana real estate with a family relocating to central Indiana.  We found a really nice home and were soon under contract.  There were hundreds of homes for sale in Indianapolis and chose one that suited the needs of their large family.  The home was large, and clean and felt "move in."  This was important to them as they have 4 children under the age of 6 and one more on the way.  Well, inspection day rolled around and my buyers and the inspector got there before me.  I received a frantic call from "Mrs. Buyer" telling me there was "poop, urine and vomit everywhere."  I told her I was on my way and called the list agent to ask what on earth was going on with the seller.  I repeated what Mrs. Buyer told me and he asked "human or animal?"  Great question!  I was so shocked, I hadn't even asked... Long story short (and without all the stinky details) the dog had been sick everywhere, and nervous, and dishes had not been done in more than a week, and there was food waste everywhere...the seller just let the house go because it was sold...not smart!  Even the inspector was shocked and he sees a lot of amazing things!  My buyers were distraught and ready to walk...they were disgusted and thought about not buying the home because of the condition...but could they?  Could they get out of the contract based on condition?  You bet!  In the Indiana Purchase Agreement there is a line that says "Sellers shall maintain the property in it's present condition until delivered to the buyer." (Lines 87, 88).  Believe me, it didn't look like that when we wrote the offer!  That means this seller was in breach of contract as the condition had radically changed.  Outside of the shocking condition, mechanically the home was sound...one minor dryer vent fix that probably was a $25 fix.  But, because of the disgusting (an unsafe)  condition, we negotiated a professional cleaning and black lighting/carpet cleaning upon closing. It ended up costing the seller about $1500.00 instead of just fixing the dryer vent.  The list agent did a great job working through the seller side of the issue and together we saved the deal...but it was painful!  Painful for the seller because $1500.00 was a lot of money to resolve their mistake to buyer satisfaction and painful for the buyer because of the way the home was treated while under contract! They are meticulous homeowners and genuinely feared for the health of their baby crawling around on the floors.

Day 6 Scheetz Advantage

The bright shiny Monday morning started out by talking about the successful open houses held over the weekend.  Each of the new agents held an open house.  AWESOME! 
There's good news and bad news...First the good...a couple of the new agents established a relationship with buyers and are scheduled to go out and show them homes for sale in Indianapolis.  The bad news, it was a very stormy Sunday afternoon. Rain, lightning, and wind!  You would think that would keep people away, right? WRONG! Everyone had people come through.  I like to end on a good note, so here it is. Nearly 90 open houses were held throughout the Indianapolis market area by CENTURY 21 Scheetz agents. That's a lot of open houses, and a lot of opportunity for someone in the Indianapolis market to win $221,000 towards the purchase of their new home. Learn all about how you can win! We even heard that Arlene Janicki-Raby held an open house, one person came through, and wrote an offer!  Can't ask for a better Sunday than that now can you? 



OK, on to day 6!  What happened today, I know you're dying to know! 
CENTURY 21 Scheetz is known throughout the Indianapolis market area as the leaders in Real Estate Technology!  We are proud of that role, and honored to lead the way. So, day 6 was all about technology. 

"It's great to see so many of our new agents coming in to the business with laptops, smart phones, and familiar with social media" said Patty Bender, General Manager at CENTURY 21 Scheetz. "It sure makes our job easier, and the agents job a lot easier"


There's always a little bit of overwhelm on a day like today.  The tools, resources, and technology provided to agents at CENTURY 21 Scheetz is so much, it's like drinking water from a fire hydrant - But it's exciting, and everyone is eager and jumping in head first!

Our agents are feeling GREAT! We have agents in Greenwood, feeling motivated to sell Greenwood Indiana Real Estate, and all the way on the other side of town the North side agents are ready to market Carmel Homes for sale, or Hamilton County Indiana Homes.  Go TEAM!!!
