“Michele Burkheimer was absolutely amazing in helping us find and purchase our dream home! From the very beginning, she listened to what we were looking for, understood what was important to us, and was always there when we needed her. Buying a home can be stressful, but Michele made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. Her knowledge, attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care for her clients really set her apart. She worked hard to make sure we understood every step and helped us navigate the process with confidence. We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and we are so thankful that Michele was the one by our side to help us make it happen. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Michele Burkheimer!”

Learn more about what Starke County has to offer.
Starke County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with affordable living, abundant outdoor recreation, strong local schools, and opportunities for small-business growth and community engagement.
Starke County offers a quieter, more grounded lifestyle than larger nearby hubs like South Bend or Porter County, yet it stays connected to them by practical commuting routes. Life centers around communities such as Knox, North Judson, and Hamlet, where neighbors tend to know one another and local events still matter.
Outdoor recreation is a highlight. Residents make frequent use of the Prairie Trails Club routes, including the Erie Trail for biking and walking, and families appreciate Wythougan Park for sports, playgrounds, and seasonal festivals. The Bass Lake area is popular for weekend cottages and full‑time lake living, with fishing, boating, and public access that draw visitors from across northern Indiana.
Daily life is supported by local schools such as Knox Community High School and the North Judson-San Pierre School Corporation, plus community resources like the Starke County Public Library. Dining ranges from long‑standing hometown diners to newer spots that serve as informal gathering places after games and meetings.
For both long‑time residents weighing a move across town and newcomers comparing areas, timing and preparation are crucial in a market where good homes can move quickly.

“Barketa is fantastic! She walked with us and pointed out things that maybe an issue. She was great at figuring out what met our needs. Barketa is straightforward and honest. We felt super comfortable when working with her. Barketa is a wonderful agent and if we have anything like this again, I would 100% work with her again. I would recommend her to anyone looking in the area”

“Finding a home/property can be a stressful journey, but having Debra Hull by our side was a game-changer. What truly stood out was how much Debra cared about our family's well-being and finding us the right property. Debra always took the time to listen to our needs (even when we were just having sidebar conversation), addressed every concern with patience, incredibly attentive to the little details we wanted in a home/property and responded to our texts and calls almost instantly, no matter the time. We never felt pressured; instead, she treated us with such care and compassion that it felt like we were working with a trusted friend. If you want a realtor who goes above and beyond, look no further!”

Even after the deal has closed, she still took the time to follow up with us to make sure we are properly settled in.”
