Category: SOLD!

A growing family was referred to me to quickly sell their existing home and help them find a new home – and I had ONE MONTH to do it before the new baby was due to arrive.

Whelp, good thing I work well under pressure and with a deadline. The stars aligned and this amazing home just blocks away from their existing home became available due to the 1st buyer changing his mind within days of putting their home on the market. We had to negotiate a bit on price and a few fixes but in the end, this home was everything they were looking for with location, space, condition and charm.

It’s a wonderful feeling when it all comes together but mostly I appreciate and value their trust in me to deliver results. Can’t wait to drop by after the baby is born to see how they have put their personal touch on this already beautiful home.

This 672sqft Greenfield home was small but had a mighty punch! This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is in a great neighborhood near many activities in town. The sellers perfectly designed it for simplicity and comfort and buyers appreciated the unique blend of modern amenities and minimalist living. With an updated kitchen, updated bathroom, new floors, & newer appliances, this home offered a blend of cozy living spaces, quality materials & contemporary aesthetics. It was EXTREMELY desirable to many 1st time homebuyers in this price point.

The adorable growing family had OUTgrown the home with a second baby on the way and were referred to me for help. We blasted social media with pictures & perfectly executed video resulting in multiple offers after only 2 days on the market! What a joy this was to help them.

What a lovely couple to work with and I’m SOOO happy they found the perfect home for them. We looked at many Fishers homes over the course of the spring and summer months. Within their price range we saw a huge range of home conditions. Over time we were able to narrow down to desired neighborhood and features and then we had to stay patient and wait for the right one to hit the market. This phenomenal home went live and we had to JUMP to see it. So much so, that my business partner had to show the home because I was out of town. There was no time to waste!

We wrote a competitive offer, without overextending them or their comfort zone, and we were selected in a multiple offer situation! When I was finally able to see the home once back in town, it really WAS the best house we’d ever toured and it was PERFECT for them. Thank you to a previous client for referring them to me and I thank them for trusting my guidance. I’m looking forward to knowing them as their family grows in this home, making memories for years to come.

All of my sellers are important & receive the same 100% white glove attention and dedication from me when I list their home but this was special because they were neighbors who had already purchased another home in an adjoining state & needed to sell quickly but also for the RIGHT price. Not only did I want top dollar for them but I wanted to secure top dollar for my neighbors & our neighborhood.

We pulled out all the stops starting with a catered brokers open to collect feedback on the condition of the home and the list price from peers/real estate professionals. They all raved about the home’s condition, aesthetics, & floorplan and said it was priced perfectly.

Even though our price per square footage was “high” for a home without a basement (very rare in this neighborhood) we received many showing and wonderful feedback. During a time in our industry when interest rates were still quite high and buyers in this price point are more discerning, the home sold quickly with minimal negotiation on our side.

Thank you to my neighbors for hiring me to partner with you! The buyers agent is a real estate professional I know well and the entire transaction was top notch & executed beautifully. So bittersweet to see them move away but the sellers are closer to family in a fabulous condo overlooking Lake Michigan!

A previous client, and now friend, asked for assistance in selling some of her land. This absolutely could have been done “by owner” but at what cost? She definitely did not want to field the phone calls, buffer different buyer personalities & demands nor negotiate. We also had to make sure we marketing this property correctly in terms of what type of structure can be constructed on the land, how close can it be to the creek, is there a flood zone, can we install city water, septic, soil test…the list goes on.

There is A LOT of value in hiring an agent to sell land professionally and legally for you. We received multiple offers, some represented by a buyers agent & some represented by themselves. We sold for OVER list price and had a wonderful, agreeable transaction and due to the many buyers in this “small town” that were interested in her property, there were a few connections and “friends” made along the way.

In the fall of 2023 while at an open house in Fishers, IN I met a wonderful young couple just starting their home search. That day they decided for the 1st time to visit some open houses to get to know Fishers because they wanted to move from the south side. I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time that day because we hit it off right away and I set up a search for them immediately with their criteria of what kind of home they were looking for, what neighborhoods, and what price point.

For a few months they casually looked because their lease had a few months to go before renewal. I took them on a few home tours to see homes on the market so they could understand the various price points and home conditions depending on the neighborhood, school district, proximity to the freeway…all the things. We had a lot of fun!

One evening after seeing many existing homes, I suggested we go look at a model home of a builder that was just starting a new phase close to their family in an area they liked and around their price point. They loved it!

We did a zoom call on a Saturday morning (during one of my Daughter’s volleyball tournaments) with the builder rep and we negotiated the price down (quite a bit!) and we negotiated the builder to pay some closing costs! We ended up being UNDER their budget/target purchase price AND the build completion was in line with when their lease was up so they would not have a month with double payments (rent + 1st Mortgage payment).

The picture in this post is the builder photo but my lovely young couple scored all the above with the model BUT their home has a THREE car garage. SCORE! They both had so much fun watching their NEW home being built and the closing day walk thru was extremely exciting and rewarding. The best part is I feel we’re friends and we live so close I occasionally see her at my gym and we can work out together. This “job” is amazing. Thank you to these trusting First Time Homebuyers!

This lovely family were repeat clients because one year prior when they moved to the Indianapolis area for a job opportunity, I helped them find a home to rent, after my Priest referred them to me. They needed time to get to know the area since they moved from southern Indiana and in this scenario, renting made sense. I drove them to different areas within their desired driving distance to the new job and we found a great rental home in a neighborhood close to work.

As the lease was nearing the end of the 1 year commitment, we started their home search. We looked at a few before this hit the market so we knew this was most likely THE home. Coincidentally there was an open house so I advised them to attend the open house (while I was at a volleyball tournament – with my laptop, of course) and while they were there, I started to write the offer.

Sure enough, they wanted to make an offer after attending the open house. I called the agent to ask what was important to her sellers because we not only wanted to be competitive, but we wanted to be respectful and show that my buyers were top notch and serious. We sent a strong offer with the seller’s conditions SUPER fast to the agent & our offer was accepted in UNDER AN HOUR!

Stories like this make my heart so happy. THANK YOU to this amazing family for hiring and trusting me not once, but twice!

This immaculately maintained Carmel home was only 9 years old and still under many builder warranties but it was vacant and needed help showing how buyers would utilize the spaces. It took a few conversations but the sellers agreed to professionally stage the home and the feedback from brokers, open houses, and showings showed that was the RIGHT choice. During a time when the media and many naysayers were poo-pooing interest rates AND the “slow” winter sales, we sold this home at FULL price to buyers that LOVED it.

There’s a buyer for every home, and there’s a home for every buyer. You only have to align yourself with the right professionals (me, wink, wink) who can guide, educate, negotiate and advocate for you!
