  • The Hendricks County Courthouse in Danville, Indiana, a historical and architectural landmark:

    đŸ›ïž Overview

    Name: Hendricks County Courthouse Location: Courthouse Square, Danville, Indiana Built: 1915 Architect: Clarence Martindale Architecture Style: Classical Revival (Neoclassical) Material: Indiana limestone Listed on the National Register of Historic Places: 2007

    đŸ§± Architectural Features

    Doric Columns: The courthouse features a classical portico with large Doric columns at the main entrance, symbolizing strength and justice. Clock Tower: A central dome with a functioning clock rises above the courthouse, visible from much of downtown Danville. Symmetry and Form: The building’s balanced proportions and grand steps reflect the classical ideals of democracy and law. Interior: The inside boasts marble floors, wood trim, and decorative moldings that harken back to early 20th-century grandeur.

    📚 Historical Significance

    This is the third courthouse to stand on the site. The original was built in 1826, followed by a second in 1863. The current structure replaced the aging second courthouse to accommodate the county’s growing population and legal needs. The courthouse has been a hub of legal, civic, and social activity in Hendricks County for over a century. It anchors the Courthouse Square Historic District, which includes several other buildings of historical importance.

    🎯 Fun Facts

    It’s often used as a backdrop for community events, parades, and seasonal festivals in downtown Danville. The courthouse square and its surrounding buildings are a favorite spot for photographers and filmmakers seeking that classic “Main Street Americana” look. Local legend says the courthouse is haunted, with reports of unexplained sounds and flickering lights late at night—adding to its charm during Halloween festivities.

    đŸ—“ïž On This Day – May 28: A Day of Flavor, Reflection & Soul

    May 28 is more than just another day on the calendar — it’s a celebration of flavor, awareness, and legendary music.

    🍔 National Hamburger Day

    Let’s be honest — few things say “America” like a juicy hamburger hot off the grill. Whether you love yours with all the fixings or just a simple classic, today is the perfect excuse to fire up the grill or support your favorite local burger joint. As we welcome summer, burgers bring people together — backyards, lake days, and real estate open houses alike.

    🌍 World Hunger Day

    While we enjoy our burgers, May 28 also serves as a powerful reminder that not everyone has access to a daily meal. World Hunger Day calls attention to the global food crisis and encourages sustainable solutions to end hunger. It’s a meaningful day to donate to a food pantry, support organizations making a difference, or simply have conversations about how we can all help.

    đŸŽ¶ Happy Birthday, Gladys Knight

    Born on May 28, 1944, Gladys Knight — the “Empress of Soul” — gave us timeless hits like Midnight Train to Georgia and inspired generations with her voice and heart. Her music reminds us to lead with soul, something that never goes out of style — in life, in music, and even in real estate.

    A Thought to Close

    Today is a blend of gratitude and purpose — from enjoying a delicious meal to remembering those in need, and celebrating a true musical icon. No matter how you mark this day, do it with heart.

  • “Why Summer is the Hottest Time to Sell”

    Why Summer is the Hottest Time to Sell Your Home

    Summer isn’t just for backyard BBQs and lake days—it’s also prime time for selling your home. If you’re thinking about listing, now might be your best opportunity. Here’s why summer sizzles in the real estate world—and how you can take advantage of it.

    1. More Buyers Are Looking

    With school out and schedules more flexible, many buyers hit the market hard during the summer months. Families want to be settled before the new school year, and longer daylight hours mean more time for showings and open houses.

    2. Curb Appeal Is at Its Peak

    Everything looks better in the summer—lush lawns, blooming flowers, and bright sunshine make homes shine. A well-kept yard and some colorful flowers can create a powerful first impression that gets buyers in the door fast.

    3. Homes Sell Faster and Closer to Asking Price

    Historically, homes listed in the summer move faster and often get closer to (or above!) asking price. That’s because demand is high and inventory can’t always keep up.

    4. It’s Easier to Move

    Moving is no fun—but it’s a whole lot easier when you’re not slipping on ice or battling cold weather. Summer makes for a smoother transition, whether you’re moving across town or across the country.

    5. Perfect Time to Show Off Outdoor Features

    Have a great deck, pool, or outdoor kitchen? Summer lets buyers see your home at its best. Those features can become huge selling points when buyers imagine relaxing and entertaining in their new space.

    Thinking of selling? Let’s talk!

    Even if you’re just curious what your home might be worth, I’m here to help. Summer won’t last forever—let’s make the most of it!

  • Sundays Are for Dreaming: Is It Time for a Fresh Start?

    There’s just something about Sundays.

    The pace slows down. The coffee tastes better. The sunlight feels a little softer as it filters in through the curtains. For me, it’s often a day filled with family, laughter, and the comfort of good food. It’s a day to breathe, reflect, and—if you’re anything like me—maybe scroll through a few dream homes online “just for fun.”

    But sometimes
 it’s not just for fun.

    If you’ve found yourself looking at houses on Zillow, imagining new kitchens, bigger yards, or cozy front porches—maybe it’s more than a daydream. Maybe it’s the beginning of a new chapter calling your name.

    Life has a funny way of nudging us forward. Whether your family is growing, you’re ready to downsize, or you’re craving a new view, those Sunday scrolls could be your heart’s way of saying, “It’s time.”

    And guess what? You don’t have to figure it out alone.

    As a local realtor who’s helped so many families turn their “someday” into “today,” I’d love to sit down with you—no pressure, just a chat. Whether you’re ready to list next week or simply thinking ahead, I’m here to guide you when the time feels right.

    So enjoy your Sunday. Dream big. And if that dream starts to feel real, let’s talk.
