Carpenter Realtors - North College

Born and raised in Indiana, I grew up in Fishers. Now based in Indianapolis and working in Broad Ripple, I bring over a decade of real estate experience to the table. Complemented by my previous experience in sales management, and studies in business and apparel merchandising, I offer a unique blend of expertise. Beyond my professional endeavors, I'm a proud parent to two wonderful boys and a cherished black lab named Rizzo. Dedicated to exceptional customer service and forging lasting connections, I am passionate about helping clients achieve their real estate goals. I'm proud to be ranked consistently in the top 5% of over 10,000 Realtors in the MIBOR MLS (the Broker Listing Cooperative ® used by Realtors in central Indiana), with an average home price of $485,000-well above the market average. My listings consistently sell at 99.43% of asking price. As a full-time Realtor and Certified Relocation Specialist, I work tirelessly for my clients. I've been honored as a "Five Star Real Estate Agent" for eight years, and recognized by both Indianapolis Monthly and the Indianapolis Star. I'm part of Carpenter Realtors, one of the top 3 companies in the MIBOR MLS, and actively involved with the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, and Habitat for Humanity Indiana's Women Build initiative since 2019. I am a Full-Time Real Estate Agent - I work for YOU!

I have been a full-time broker in the real estate business since 2004. I owned my own franchise office with Weichert, Realtors in Carmel for 10 years. In January 2016, I was fortunate enough to sell my company and merge my team into Carpenter Realtors. I now am the branch manager of the Carpenter Realtors office in Broad Ripple with a team of 25+ successful brokers. In addition to managing the office, I also continue to help my clients buy and sell residential real estate all over the Indianapolis Metro market and surrounding counties. I am happy to help anyone with any kind of residential real estate need. I have personally sold everything from a lot for a few thousand dollars up to estate homes in excess of $2M. Over the years, I have been given the opportunity to help several hundred clients buy and sell millions of dollars in sales. This experience has given me the foundation to continue to grow my business each year with new and existing clients like you! I enjoy using my experience over the past many years in this business to help other agents build a business plan and help them develop action items that will lead to them achieving their goals both personally and professionally. I currently serve on the MIBOR grievance and professional standards committees. I have also served on the Hamilton County economic development committee and MIBOR economic development committee. I am a graduate of the Real Estate Leadership Academy (REAL), as well as a designated ePro and SFR Realtor. I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, Indiana Association of Realtors and the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors. I am a 10 year 5 Star Real Estate Agent award recipient based on customer satisfaction reviews. Proir to my real estate career, I graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 1988 with a management degree. For many years, I worked in sales and sales management in the software industry traveling most of the Country. I wanted to spend more time at home with my family which led me to a career in real estate. My wife, Sara, and I are celebrating 32 years of marriage and are proud of our 3 children. All 3 graduated from Hamilton Southeastern Schools in Fishers. Our oldest son graduated from IU Bloomington, our daughter graduated from Ball State and is finishing her nursing degree at IU and our youngest son graduated from Ball State. I do indeed work a lot of hours and love it, but, my spare time is spent with my family and our 3 Australian Shepherds. Our family serves and supports many organizations including: St. Lukes Methodist Church, Savior's Serenade, American Cancer Society, Special Olympics, Lampstand Ministries and I have served on the Board of Directors for Gennesaret Free Clinics for many years including the Board Chair in 2024. I enjoy serving our local community! "I STRIVE TO PROVIDE MY CLIENTS WITH THE BEST SERVICE POSSIBLE WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING THEM 'CLIENTS FOR LIFE'. "I HAVE THE SAME GOAL TO DEVELOP A TEAM OF AGENTS THAT WILL WANT TO BE LIFELONG AGENTS WITH OUR COMPANY."

With five years in real estate, I've built my business on preparation, honesty, and long-term thinking. I'm a young agent building a career-and a family-at the same time, which means I take every decision seriously and every client personally. I focus on clear communication, smart negotiation, and results that hold up long after the closing. Real estate isn't about hype. It's about trust, and earning it every day.
