Buying with Sash
Start your home search with Sash
Search homes on Realest.com, then tell Sash what you want. Sash is the managing broker at Realest and helps buyers across Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland.
Realest is at 112 S. Main St., Suite B, Crown Point, IN 46307. We are licensed in Indiana and Illinois.
How it works
From first search to the keys
Step 1
Look around. Search homes on Realest.com. Save the homes you like. They show Sash what you want.
Step 2
Tell Sash your goals. The town, price range, timing, and what you will not give up. Call Sash, or send us a note.
Step 3
Get your numbers. Talk to a lender about pre-approval. Our Financing guide covers loans, and the Buying guide walks through the whole purchase.
Step 4
Tour, offer, close. Sash sets showings, writes the offer, and stays with you through the inspection and closing.
