Finding one that is familiar with Geist, water frontage, dock ownership options, Cocktail Cove, etc is challenging. You want to consider things like experience, knowledge of the local Geist Real Estate market and availability as you make your decision. As well as Trust…you want someone you can trust with such a big decision. Here are some things to consider as you start the process of searching for a waterfront home for sale in Geist. The Metropolitan Board of REALTORS has 5,800 members. There were 75% of those agents that did less than 10 transactions last year. And of the remaining, only 250 agents wrote more than 30 transactions last year. That says that th...

Originally posted at My IndyWaterfront Blog There are definitely signs of a real estate recovery happening in the Fishers, Carmel and Geist area.  The Fishers Real Estate market was up 40% over a year ago in July and the Carmel Real Estate market was up 14%. So let’s look at the Geist Real Estate market and specifically the number of homes sold in Geist that are on Reservoir. In the period January 1 - July 31st in 2010; there were 14 homes that sold (this excludes condos) that were on the Reservoir.  In 2011 for the same period there were again 14 homes that sold.  How is that a recovery you ask… The number of homes over $1MM that sold in 2010 was one…a single one.  In 2011 for the same period, there were five over $1MM.  That alone could be considered a recovery in Geist.  But add to ...

Originally posted at My Indy Waterfront Blog As a REALTOR in Geist, I have my pulse on great vendors to use for repairs or improvements.  Here are my Top 5 Picks: Irrigation Systems will be top of mind as we head into a dryer season; I like Follmar Irrigation at 765-631-0638.  They do residential and commercial; if you want to see any of their work, check out Sunblest Apartments in Fishers. Staging/Landscaping/Redesign is Teresa Lorton with ReDesign24; she can be reached at 317-345-6384.  She is an absolute delight to work with and a great bargain shopper too! Need some carpentry work done; Ted Morrett is the best at what he does.  He did my master bath and it is amazing.  He can be reached at 317-3388-8890. Maybe something a little lighter; how about a house cleaning for you or someone...

Originally posted at My Indy Waterfront Blog While many people who live in Geist buy their home for the water; there are many others who love to play golf!  So where are the homes on golf courses in Geist? The most obvious choice is The Hawthornes; with its 275 acres of woods and wetlands.  This is a private club and does offer private lessons.  I currently have a home for sale on the Hawthornes on the 16th hole; the home sits on 1.25 acres. Another popular course is Ironwood Golf Club.  This course has 27 challenging and scenic holes surrounded by some great Fishers Real Estate such as Gray Eagle, Lake Stonebrige and Windermere. A little deeper into the Geist area is Old Oakland Golf Club.  The 27 holes cover over 220 acres.  Neighborhoods near this golf course include Oakland Hills. T...
