Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World And The Power Of REW Blogs

I am not, nor do I claim to be, any sort of SEO expert.  Quite the contrary, I am a SEO novice, or is it a beginner?  Whatever it is, I feel like I know just enough to enough to be dangerous.  I have not had much time to dedicate to the greatest real estate agent in the world contest because, thanks in large part to an awesome new REW IDX, I am busier than ever selling real estate.  I try to take in as much SEO knowledge as possible, but quickly get overwhelmed by how much there is to know and how fast it changes.  I read several blogs everyday and try to glean as much information as my tiny brain will allow, but yet I still feel overwhelmed and confused.  With the competition getting stiffer and more crowded, I feel halfway decent that I am 15th-ish in…

Fresh Market In Broadripple

Broadripple, which is arguably Indianapolis’ coolest area, is about to get a little cooler.  The Fresh Market has started construction of its second store in the Indianapolis area.  The Fresh Market is an upscale grocery store that has everything from fresh produce, gourmet meats, specialty foods, and great wine and beer selection. 

The store will be located on the site of the former Atlas Supermarket at 54th and College Avenue.  One of the neatest things about the construction of this store is that due to limited space they will be utilizing the rooftop for parking.

The store is being developed by Kite Realty Group and is scheduled to open in May.  The Fresh Market has another location in Carmel off of 146th Street just east of US-31.  This store is…

Property tax reform is coming in Indiana, one way or another, good or bad, it is coming.  This is THE top issue on everybody’s mind and agenda right now, however the details of the tax reform are getting sticky. 

Governor Mitch Daniels has proposed his “1-2-3 plan” which limits property taxes to 1% of the assessed value for residential, 2% for rentals, and 3% for commercial.  I think everyone agrees that this is good starting off point, but many disagree about the details of the tax reform.  In addition, in order to pay for this tax reform the governor is proposing a 1% sales tax increase.

The 1% sales tax increase could prove to be a very hard measure to pass for Indiana lawmakers.  The speaker of the house has already said that it not be easy to the…
