About Me
Josh and Larissa are a brother/sister team dedicated to saving you time and money on your real estate transactions. They come from a family of carpenters and contractors, and have a wealth of knowledge about homes and their systems. Both Josh and Larissa have also spent time in the service industry, and through Josh's unique system, they are able to offer you the highest quality of customer service.
Here's how they're able to maximize their talents to better serve YOU:
Selling: Josh personally oversees all marketing for his sellers, negotiates all sales contracts, and processes all sales from contract to closing. Because Josh doesn't spend time showing homes to buyers, he can concentrate his efforts on the important tasks necessary to sell your home quickly and for top dollar, plus you can guarantee that Josh will be on top of all contractual obligations and meet all time requirements on your behalf.
Buying: Larissa specializes in finding the perfect home for all our buyers. She will work closely with you to determine your needs and will help you to locate exactly what you're looking for. Because Larissa doesn't spend time designing marketing pieces and negotiating contract, she's able to concentrate her efforts on YOUR needs. When a home meeting your criteria is put up for sale, you can guarantee that Larissa will notify you immediately and set up an appointment for you to see it at your convenience. Once you've found the home that's right for you, both Josh and Larissa will meet you at the home for a second time to look it over thoroughly. If you're ready to make an offer after the second viewing, Josh will prepare the paperwork and negotiate the best possible price and terms for YOU.

"Working with Josh made our first time home buying experience so much easier. We were very motivated and wanted to find a home quickly. Josh completely accommodated our hours, which were mostly nights and weekends, to make sure that we saw the homes we wanted to see and when we wanted to see them. In less then 24 hours notice he was able to set up appointments for us and meet us at our request, we truly felt as though we were his only clients. Being new to the homeowners market he assisted us in explaining what we needed to do and set us up with a wonderful mortgage broker who is/was just as helpful. We certainly would use him in the future and recommend him to other potential buyers/sellers."

"Working with Josh when buying my first home was excellent. He explained to me all that was required and worked with me until I was completely confident with what was shown to me. He used a new way of handling the paper-work, which was done electrically...it saved time and was what I was familiar with. Josh always responded to his emails promptly and was always available by phone. He was a great communicator and answered all my questions. He also met up with me at my place of employment, which was great. All-in-all my experience with Josh was great. If you are searching for a new house, then your best bet is to go with Josh."

"Josh Scheibelhut deserves an award from the Academy of Realtors for the service he provided us during our recent investment property transaction. We had a very tight timeframe--one weekend to find the right property for our business venture. With a constant smile and the patience of a saint, Josh showed us 25 properties in one day. Throughout the day, he kept our needs in the forefront while also offering us invaluable advice about the area and the properties available to us. After that weekend, he handled every detail of the transaction while we resumed our lives in New Jersey. A month later, we were highly satisfied property owners and have already seen a great return on our investment. We will most definitely work with Josh again on our next venture in the area."

"We were extremely pleased with our real estate experience. Josh used many different tools to help with the sale of our home. All of which were used by the public and our house was sold in less than 6 weeks. Josh's knowledge, communication, flexibility, and professionalism made the process of "looking" and then selling our house very easy."

If you're looking for free foreclosure listings in South Bend, IN your best bet is to contact a Realtor that specializes in the investment and REO market (something my team and I do). There are a number of websites that you can visit and sign up to receive lists of foreclosed homes, however the majority of the time these lists are old and the properties are already sold (it's a waste of time in my opinion).
Most if not all homes that are taken back by the bank through foreclosure are listed by licensed agents and are easily found in the MLS (multiple listing service) by an experienced Realtor. Our local MLS doesn't have a search feature for "foreclosed homes", but we keep an active inventory of them in order to pass the information along when folks like yourself inquire.
If you'd be interested in a FREE list of foreclosed home from my team that you can access via your own private web page, feel free to contact me:

Hi Kal,
In the last two years there have been 28 homes sold on the water in Covington Shores and Fox Chase. Of those properties, the average sales price has been 96% of the listing price. The lowest sales price in that time was 86% of list price.
Year to date there have only been 4 homes sold on the water. The average sales percentage of these four is also 96%, with the lowest being 92% (Average home price was $523,325) Currently there are 9 homes for sale between $429,000 and $695,000. Only three of the nine have reduced price so far.
These average sales percentages are quite close to the county average which typically fluctuates around 97% of listing prices. I hope this is helpful.

I'm a full time Realtor and investor in St. Joseph County. I'm very familiar with the 46628 area code as I currently have listings in that location and have bought/sold there in the past. My email address is Josh4Homes@comcast.net. Feel free to send me any pertinent information and I'll be happy to lend you my professional opinion on your situation. Who knows, I might be interested in purchasing one or all of your homes myself or I could have a buyer too. Let's talk.

Hi Allison! My sister and I grew up in Granger and we still live and work here. We both graduated from Penn-Harris-Madison Schools (Granger and the surrounding area's public school system) and I currently send my children to the same schools. I'm very happy with our community and the schools. There are several very nice areas to live in Granger and the surrounding Townships that go to the same school district. These townships are: Harris Township, Penn Township, and parts of the City of Mishawaka. Depending upon your price range and the type of neighborhood you prefer, you may also want to look at homes in Mishawaka, Osceola, and the county areas between these towns since the property taxes vary greatly.
Please note that parts of Granger are in Clay Township, which IS NOT in the PHM School district but instead in the South Bend Public Schools district. You can compare the ratings of public schools in Indiana at http://www.doe.state.in.us/htmls/education.html.
As a parent, it was important to have my kids attending a school with test scores and graduation rates at or above state averages. The last time I checked, PHM was the only public school system in St. Joseph County to have both test scores and graduation rates HIGHER than state average.
If you haven't made your move yet, feel free to contact me at (574) 993-5153 or Josh4Homes@comcast.net with any other questions you may have. If schools are a major factor for you, I highly recommend that you hire an agent that knows the area well and the exact school district for each home. Good luck with your move! I know you'll love our community!

Hi Kal! I work in the Granger, Indiana market and if you have cash to work with and no need for financing, you'll be able to offer the seller a quick closing free from the headaches of traditional financing. This means you're in the strongest possible buying position right now and you should be able to obtain the best purchase price and terms for your situation. With the right agent representing you as a buyer, you should be able to find the homes where sellers are willing to reduce price for a quick sale.
Specialties
Josh specializes in the area that makes up the PHM school district in St. Joseph County, IN. He's also highly experienced with short sales (pre-foreclosure sales), REO properties (bank owned), investment properties, and unique, often overlooked solutions to selling homes.
Larissa specializes in the South Bend, Mishawaka area and is very adaptable to each buyer's unique needs.
