Greetings!
Is it just us, or is this summer flying by? All of a sudden conversations are turning to "back to school" preparations. Is it really time for new shoes, notebooks and backpacks? We're just not ready!
As you think back over what you've done so far this summer, are there some local events or places you've really enjoyed? See some of our "perfect places" in the article below and share yours too!
And everyone could use a night out before homework begins again, so don't miss this months trivia contest. We're excited about giving away 2 more movie tickets!
Just as summer is quickly slipping away, so is the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Credit. We don't want anyone to miss out on this opportunity. Do you know someone who might qualify? They must close on their new home before Dec 1. Give us a call so we can share the details and ensure they meet the deadline.
We're enjoying chatting with many of you on facebook, but we still enjoy a phone call too -- even just to say "hi"! We're never too busy to stay in touch and truly enjoy catching up with you!
Steve and Tonda

 When you're looking for a new home, you're searching for the Perfect Place for You (Yes, that's the name of our website, sorry about the shameless plug!) ... But in addition to the "perfect" home, what makes where you live special?
This month we would love to hear about your favorite "local" hangouts! How would you complete the following sentence for someone new to the area? "You know, the perfect place for you to go is....."
Here are a few of ours:
- Hamptons Market - located in the heart of the Center Grove area, Hamptons is convenient and carries the very finest meat products in Indiana! Looking for a filet mignon for a special occasion? Don't walk - run to Hamptons Market!
- Mallow Run Winery - just off Whiteland Road Mallow Run features good wine - appropriately priced, and Saturday nights with music and pizza make it a destination for you and your friends!
- The Monon Trail - we enjoy catching the trail in Broad Ripple and riding our bikes north. Nice to stay in Broad Ripple for a relaxing dinner on the return trip!
- The Willard - downtown Franklin's best pizza and beer joint! Great pizza, good draft beer selection, outdoor dining, and a small town feel. Trust us - you'll enjoy your visit.
- Louie's Bar & Grill - the closest thing to Sam Malone's Cheers that northern Johnson County has to offer. Great food, good prices (dinner for under $10), and a fun atmosphere.
- Ricks Boatyard - watch the sailboats as you dine on the edge of Eagle Creek Reservoir. It's kind of like going on vacation for the evening.
- Augustino's - at Stop 11 and Emerson Avenue Augustino's is great Italian food! We have never been disappointed! Be certain to start your meal with the cheesy bread - That's Italian! Yum!
So, there are some of ours. Where are yours? Email us, or Click here to share your favorite places by adding comments to our blog.. We'll publish the finding in a future newsletter.
