ABOUT US
Local Roots. Lasting Relationships.
Welcome to Paradise Estates Realty, a family-owned real estate company proudly serving South Bend, Indiana, since 2001. Founded by husband-and-wife team Edward and Linda Carter, our business is built on deep local roots and a shared passion for helping neighbors find—and create—homes they love.
Edward and Linda were both born and raised in Indiana and have called South Bend home for over 40 years. Their knowledge of the city’s neighborhoods, history, and hidden gems is unmatched, giving clients a true advantage whether buying, selling, or investing.
Proven Experience, Real Results
Over the past two decades, Paradise Estates Realty has guided more than 700 clients and sold over $30 million in real estate. Linda has been recognized multiple times by Homes.com for Most Units Sold, and the company has been featured in the South Bend Tribune, including a spotlight on their innovative Equity Boost Program, which helps homeowners maximize their property’s value with no upfront repair costs.
Whether it’s crafting winning marketing strategies or negotiating complex deals, Edward and Linda bring proven expertise and personal care to every transaction.
​
Community First, Always
Real estate is more than property—it’s people. Edward and Linda dedicate over 50 volunteer hours every month to local nonprofit agencies and actively partner with city representatives and developers to enhance housing opportunities and strengthen South Bend neighborhoods. Their work goes beyond closing deals; it’s about helping their hometown thrive.
​
More Than Realtors
When they’re not helping clients, you’ll find Edward and Linda riding e-bikes along the St. Joseph River or dancing at downtown community events. Their love for South Bend’s vibrant culture and natural beauty shines through in everything they do—and it inspires how they help others make this area home.
