Refresh River Park
In May the South Bend Certified Realtors, SELL South Bend and the River Park Housing & Safety Committee came together to spruce up the homes of some of River Park's residents. The goal of the program is to help those who don't have the ability, skills or funds to do the work necessary to keep their homes in tip top shape. The weather was cold and windy, but the mood was upbeat and fun. Thanks to everyone involved especially our sponsors listed below:
Major Contributors
- Twin City Glass – our #1 sponsor – they did a great job!

South Bend Certified Realtor Program
Through the SELL South Bend Initiative, the City offers a successful program aimed at helping real-estate agents provide more in-depth information to potential buyers. The Realtor Certification Program serves to educate Realtors about South Bend's neighborhoods, economy, schools, culture and history. This up-to-date information allows them to do a better job of selling homes in our neighborhoods and assisting their buyers in making better decisions when purchasing their new homes.
SELL South Bend is an initiative of the City made up of a committee which includes representatives from the Real Estate community, the University of Notre Dame, Historic Landmarks, the Center for History and City representatives.
This initiative promotes the neighborhoods of South Bend to residents, newcomers, the business community, universities, Realtors and builders as it:
- Better informs these and other groups about the South Bend's assets.
- Provides these groups with information about housing options in South Bend's lovely neighborhoods.
- Offers a list of South Bend Certified Realtors to assist new and existing employees with their housing needs.
- Presents a series of classes to various groups and the general public to educate and inform them about the City's neighborhoods.
- Sponsors events and works in collaboration with other organizations to promote housing within certain target areas of the City.
