As a group of top selling real estate agents, we’d like to share what sets us apart from the rest:

1.     We believe that real estate is a local business. We specialize in selling homes in a specific area; Hendricks and West and Northwest Marion Counties. This allows our team to truly be experts in our market area.

Being experts in our market area allows us to stay up-to-date on what’s happening in the area in terms of real estate marketing, including where prices are now, where they are trending and other important information you should be aware of in your real estate transaction.

One of the most often under valued assets to home sales is the staging process. A common myth many sellers believe is that their house doesn’t need staged. We recommend you at least get a consultation because buyers can tell the difference between a staged home and one that is not. A home that shows well, sells well.
