Bailey Braunecker helped me buy my home in the Lake Forest neighborhood of Carmel, Indiana, and it’s truly my dream home today because of him. The house needed work when we first walked through it, and honestly, I might have passed on it without Bailey. He saw potential I never would have seen on my own. He walked me through which improvements would add the most value, connected me with contractors he trusted, and helped me understand what the work would take before I made an offer. He knows Lake Forest inside and out, and it showed at every step. His negotiating made a huge difference. He secured the house for well below market value, handled the inspection negotiations, and got me closing cost credits on top of that. We closed in March 2025, and after the renovations were finished, my home was worth over 32% more than the purchase price. If you’re buying a home in Carmel, especially one that needs some love, I can’t recommend Bailey Braunecker and Braunecker Real Estate Group with eXp Realty enough. He didn’t just help me buy a house. He helped me build equity from day one.

I had an excellent experience working with Bailey and would highly recommend him. Throughout the entire home-buying process, he was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and responsive. He always took the time to answer my questions, explain my options, and make sure I felt comfortable with every decision. Buying a home can be stressful, but his professionalism and steady guidance made the process so much easier. I’m grateful for his help and couldn’t be happier with my new home. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares about his clients, he’s the one to call.

Bailey is fantastic. Being our first home buying experience, he made sure that the process went smooth. Throughout all of it, he answered our many questions, was very knowledgeable, and continued to make sure we knew each step. He took care of so many things behind the scenes and helped make sure we were good to go up and to closing day. Would highly recommend if you are buying or selling!

There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Bailey and everything he did for us throughout our home-buying journey. As first-time homebuyers, we were excited but also nervous and overwhelmed by the process. From day one, he made us feel comfortable, supported, and confident in every decision we made. He went above and beyond, always making himself available to answer our endless questions and guide us through every step with patience and kindness. No matter how many times we reached out, he never made us feel like a burden. Instead, he took the time to explain everything and made sure we felt informed and reassured throughout the entire experience. Finding the perfect home felt like a huge dream for us, and Bailey was determined to help make that dream a reality. He listened carefully to everything we wanted and worked tirelessly to find a home that checked all the boxes. His incredible negotiating skills helped us get exactly what we were hoping for, and it was clear every step of the way that he genuinely cared about our best interests. We honestly could not have done this without Bailey. He helped us find not just a house, but a place we are proud to call home. I would recommend Bailey to anyone looking to find their first or next home!

Bailey went above and beyond with our home buying experience. We thought we were not going to be able to move and Bailey made it happen for us. He was with us through the entire home buying process. He was very detailed and hands-on. He addressed every concern and question we had promptly no matter what the time of day. He never made us feel like our questions were not important but addressed everything that we asked professionally and truthfully. He even went out of his way to give us a lovely basket with home made bread and other goodies when we closed on our new home. Bailey is awesome and we would highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Bailey was the absolute best! He was an amazing communicator and made sure we were up to date and answered all our questions throughout the process. He made buying a home as stress free as possible!

I had the absolute best experience working with Bailey Braunecker. He helped me sell my home in Carmel and purchase a new home in Zionsville, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. From the very beginning, Bailey advised me on the smartest updates to make before listing—small, strategic investments that added tremendous value. Thanks to his guidance and preparation, my Carmel home sold significantly over asking in just 2 days with more than 45 showings! What stood out the most throughout the process was Bailey’s patience, his clear and consistent communication, and his number-oriented approach. In real estate, these qualities are invaluable. He always took the time to explain the details, ran the numbers so I could make confident decisions, and never rushed me along the way. On the buying side, Bailey went above and beyond again. The transaction came with challenges, including dealing with a very difficult agent on the other side, but he handled the situation with professionalism, patience, and composure. I always felt like I was in good hands, no matter what came up. It really does matter who you choose to represent you in one of the biggest transactions of your life, and I am so glad I chose Bailey. His expertise, work ethic, and genuine care for his clients set him apart. I can’t recommend him enough!

After losing my husband, the thought of buying a new home felt overwhelming and emotionally daunting. I wasn’t just looking for a house—I was searching for a place where I could begin to heal and rebuild and felt like home. From the very first conversation Bailey understood that. He didn’t just treat me like a client—he treated me like a person navigating a deeply personal transition. To make matters more complicated, my husband and I had been working with Bailey for several months looking to downsize. What we wanted as a couple was different than what I needed as a recent widow, so Bailey had to completely switch gears. His compassion, patience, and professionalism were unmatched. He listened to my needs, respected my pace, and never once made me feel rushed or pressured. Every showing was thoughtful, every question answered with care, and every step of the process handled with grace and expertise. Thanks to Bailey, I found a home that feels safe, warm, and full of possibility. I’ll never forget the kindness and dedication he showed me during the hardest time in my life. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and goes above and beyond, look no further.

My husband and I had an amazing first home-buying experience with the help of Bailey! Being first time home buyers, Bailey’s extensive industry knowledge, hard work, and dedication to helping us buy our first home made us feel comfortable in the home buying process and really gained our trust. He was very responsive and informative of any questions we had throughout the entire process and was there for us every step of the way. We are very grateful for Bailey. He was the best we could have asked for and is someone will work with in the future. We highly recommend him!

We’ve worked with Bailey on several investment properties. He is very timely and communicative, and he gives honest recommendations and input. He has helped us know when to hold and when the fold (which is the more valuable part in our opinion). We appreciate his honesty and straightforwardness. Couldn’t be happier to give him the highest recommendation!

When I was in the market for a house, I began working with Bailey. He was super accommodating with all of my different needs in a home and gladly worked with me to find exactly what type of home I wanted and one that was within my price range. When I found a house that I liked but was outside of my price range, he offered advice and options so I could better pick and chose a house. He made sure to make a note of what amenities I absolutely needed to have, and what ones was able to live without and helped guide me to a better and more sustainable option for me financially. Absolutely recommend Bailey to anyone in the market for a home and especially first time homebuyers, because he makes everything so much easier to understand (especially since it can be intimidating)!

Bailey helped me get a home I wanted quickly. I found one online I really liked, he showed me more listings with comparables, brought me to a showing, helped me negotiate, helped me with financing, and continues to answer questions/help me to this day. I always felt I was in good hands when he was there to help and his expertise are appreciated. If you need someone to help you get a home, Bailey will do great for you. You wouldn't believe the amount of stress saving with a good realtor! I definitely recommend Braunecker Real Estate Group!
