We had a terrific experience with Kristie Smith and her team. We initially worked with Amy to find our new dream home. Amy was very relaxed, patient, and had good insights on homes we looked at, often times pointing out items we overlooked. Amy was super helpful during the negotiation process. We then went to work to sell our old house. Kristie was fantastic, she gave us a list of recommended work to get the house ready to show, and even arranged for contractors for work we didn’t want to tackle ourselves. She and her team made multiple visits to our home prior to going on the market to ensure our home was in best possible showing condition. The research she did to price our home was very thorough, and the strategy for listing and showing was outstanding. We ultimately got four offers, three well above asking, at a price higher than we initially thought possible. Would hire Kristie again.

Amy McIntyre and the Indy Homes team are truly the best of the best! Amy is an excellent listener and heard everything that we were looking for in a house - she even heard all of the things that we didn't mention. She just knew! Her sense of humor and honesty made her so much fun to work with! She educated us along the way, she was patient, and the listings she sent us were spot on. She was available quickly when we liked a house and she was great at keeping us in the loop throughout the process. Amy truly made us feel like we were her one and only priority at all times, which is exceptional, especially in this housing market. She went above and beyond to utilize resources to find hidden gems for us. She has great insight into remodeling and renovations ideas plus the cost of them. Amy has great connections with contractors and was able to make things happen quickly to get issues resolved. I can honestly not say enough about Amy, Kristie, and Mariah - they were great throughout. The one last thing I will say about Amy is her ability to think differently to help us write a great offer and then delicately negotiate during the stages after made ALL the difference in the world. If it wasn't for that we never would've closed on the home we'll spend the next 20+ years!

It's been 16 years since we last purchased a home, so when we started this process we felt like first-time buyers again. In search of our forever home, our agent, Amy McIntyre helped us find the perfect house, in our desired neighborhood, for the best price. She was attentive, prompt, and always available. Since we lived in Florida, Amy was extremely accommodating and would take us on virtual showings. Amy demonstrated her thorough knowledge of home construction and local market value. Her assessment of homes we visited was methodical as she pointed out the quality of interior and exterior construction, finishes, the need for maintenance and upkeep and potential problems. She also cautioned us against falling for overpriced homes and making unreasonable offers. Amy was ALWAYS on our side. Her focus was always on keeping us within our price point, staying in our desired neighborhood and finding the home that met our needs. We knew helping us find the perfect home was more important than making the sale. Amy maintained daily communication as she sent daily emails and texts with updates. Her overall responsiveness was beyond compare. We appreciated her advice. The entire Indy Homes staff was extremely professional and detail oriented. We started with Indy Homes on Sept 1 and closed on Nov 16. Our closing day was a breeze. We are so happy in our new home and so grateful for Amy and associates. If ever anyone asks for an affordable, dedicated realtor, I am definitely sending them to see Amy McIntyre at Indy Homes.

After contacting Kristie about buying a home she quickly got me into contact with one of her agents and Amy was able to help me purchase my first home. Amy was great to work with! She was in constant contact and lined up showings quickly. She helped answer all of my questions and made me feel more comfortable in the buying process. The whole Indy Homes team made the buying process smooth especially for a first time buyer. Andrew also was in constant contact and continued to follow up with any concerns after purchasing. Extremely happy with Indy Homes and my new home!

I have never met a real estate agent like Kristie Smith! She and her team of professional are absolutely amazing! If I were to sell another home, I would unequivocally choose Kristie and her team again! At our first meeting, Kristie determined the primary objective regarding the sale of our home. She and her team spent the next two months guiding us toward the accomplishment of this goal. Kristie suggested minor cosmetic changes to our home (i.e. painting, updating of lighting and plumbing fixtures, and staging of some rooms) to update our home and command a higher price. She listed our home at exactly the right price, ensuring an impressive number of showings (approximately twenty-three showings in two days). Kristie listed our home on a Saturday morning, and by Sunday evening we had three offers - all exceeding the asking price. She guided us in selecting the best offer, and by Monday morning, the deal was done! Kristie and her team go "above and beyond" the call of duty! The quality of workmanship completed by her team of professionals was exceptional - from the painters, to the plumber, to the stagers! They were all extremely professional and exceedingly conscientious! It was a pleasure to have them in our home! Even after the closing had been completed, Kristie continued to offer her assistance. She called back immediately when I phoned to ask for her help regarding finding temporary housing while our home was being built in another state. Her dedication to her clients is remarkable! Kristie sets a very high standard for herself and her team! They are, quite simply, the BEST! In the two months we worked with them, we came to regard them not only as professionals, but also as friends!

After admiring Kristie's marketing from afar over the last two years, we reached out to her when a house she represented on our block listed for and sold for way more than we ever thought possible. Kristie provided us with a deeply honest review of our house if we wanted to open it up to the greatest number of potential buyers. Not only did we get a significant ROI, better than 4 to 1 on the improvements we made, but we also listed it for a record amount in our neighborhood. Interest was overwhelming and we had offers in the first 24 hours that far exceeded the listing price. Ultimately, we accepted within 48 hours and sold for an offer of more than $110K over the list. Fundamental to our maximizing the value was Kristie and her team's diligent effort to keep to an extraordinarily aggressive preparation timeline. Due to her contacts, we made every single milestone and listed it on the target date. Accepted an offer within two days and closed nine days later. Even when we hit the inevitable inspection bumps in the road, Kristie gave us 100% confidence that we had it covered, and if not, there were backup plans. With a less seasoned might have been worried. Not so with this ultra professional! Moreover, her team of professionals including Adrienne and Breanna were simply outstanding! We could not be happier with the process and the outcome and we give Kristie and her team our highest possible recommendation!

Kristie and her team were AWESOME! Kristie’s knowledge of the market is second to none! Her keen ability to evaluate my home and make recommended adjustments paid huge dividends, as my home sold in a few days. The concierge service by Adrienne was awesome as well! Adrienne was very responsive answering and addressing all questions and providing updates in a timely manner! I definitely recommend the Kristie Smith Team! Who knew selling a home could go so well!

Kristie and her team worked seamlessly and helped us sell our carmel home within a few days after being on the market. Kristie really knows the market and what is needed to sell fast, which was exactly what we wanted. Adrienne was there to coordinate everything from arranging the contractors, staging and even helped us selling some of the furnitures that we used for staging and did not need afterwards. She really went above and beyond for me. Breanna was very helpful in guiding us through the closing process and always made sure to let me know what I needed to do on every steps. Job well done and I recommend their team to anyone!

Kristie Smith and her team were masterful in selling our home. Adrienne Riggles was the team member who managed the prep details and then handed the baton to Breanna Haskin who was the person who kept us appraised of the details once we were in contract to final closing. Kristie exceeded our expectations and our home sold for $50K over the asking price. Remarkable result from a remarkable team.

Such wonderful service! I highly recommend Kristie Smith and the Indy Homes Team for all your home buying/selling needs. Kristie's knowledge and experience proved to be such a valuable asset in helping me get top dollar for my house. She knows the market and had many useful recommendations on how to prepare my home for listing, the right time to list, and listing price, which led to me selling my home above asking price. Team member Adrienne did an amazing job assisting me through many steps of the home selling process. She was great in helping me to secure affordable and high-quality contractors for pre-inspection repair needs, as well as all post-inspection work needed. She was knowledgeable and guided me through the entire paperwork process involved in listing and selling a home. Kristie, Adrienne, and the team definitely went above and beyond my expectations. I couldn't have been happier with Kristie Smith and the Indy Homes Team with the service they provided to sell my home and purchase a new home.

What an amazing team...the entire staff of Indy Homes is the epitome of teamwork! They all worked together to sell our existing home, search for our new home, worked with us through the closing and the entire financing stage. The follow-through was awesome, we had answers to any questions or concerns immediately and even if we didn't have any questions that week, one of them touched base anyway! Would highly recommend the entire team at Indy Homes.

Great! The Keller Williams Kristie Smith team got the job done and pronto. After being unsure if we should sell and thinking it over for a year, we contacted them in late October. By early November we had a listing! And 26 showings and 10 days later we had 3 offers. We closed on November 30 and for the price we wanted. These folks are professionals. Hire them.

A new job required a fast move to a new state. We knew we didn’t want to have a long drawn out process of trying to sell our home, so we did our homework to search for the very best realtor to sell our beautiful Zionsville home quickly and for top dollar. We made the right decision hiring Kristie Smith and the Indy Homes Team. After our initial consultation with Kristie, we felt very confident in handing over the reigns to her. We decided to follow any and all advice that she gave us down to the very last detail. She walked through our home and identified areas that we could enhance and improve and instructed us as to which items needed to be decluttered and removed. She had a team to tackle the projects that needed to be done quickly and efficiently. Indy Homes Team benefits from their incredible listing concierge, Adrienne Riggles, who makes everything so easy and seamless for the client. She set up any appointments with workers and got the quotes and right people working on the projects. This service is a game changer!!! In less than 30 days, all the work was done, beautiful photographs were taken and our home was ready to be put on the market! Kristie carefully looked at comps and trends and talked us through pricing. We took her advice and were thrilled to have our home under contract in 12 days! Things weren’t over yet, though! A lot happens from the time an offer is accepted and the day the home is officially sold! Especially in these trying times during a pandemic. Kristie navigated these waters with skill and experience that got us through to a successful home closing!! We could not be happier with Kristie and her team and can recommend the Indy Homes Team with the utmost of confidence and enthusiasm!!

This team of realtors was great. We started working with Tracey last summer to get our house ready for sale this spring. She was so helpful and provided such good information. We continued to be in touch with her during the winter for more helpful hints. I can't say enough about her expertise. Our house was listed on a Friday afternoon and we had it sold by Monday afternoon, before a sign was even in the yard! I would highly recommend this team! We would hire again if we hadn't moved out of state.

We had such a great experience buying and selling with Keller Williams Realty. The entire Indy Homes team went above and beyond, and provided quick responses and feedback every step of the way. They are dedicated and professional, and truly care about finding you the perfect home and/or selling at the right price. Tracey checked comps on our home until the very last minute prior to listing. Amy was super patient with the buying process and really knew how to find the character we were looking for in a home. Be sure to ask for the dynamic duo, Tracey O. and Amy M. Big thanks all around!

Kristie's team is Amazing!!! Adrienne took care of us every step of the way. She even came to our home while we were out of town during showings and mopped the floors after a snowy day of showings. Furthermore, Adrienne's communication was always clear and immediate. Buying or selling a home can be stressful with all of the little details that you do not consider but Adrienne did a fantastic job removing that stress and making everything as easy as possible on our family. Thank you again for all of your hard work, our family greatly appreciates you and your hard work.

As a first-time home buyer, I was lucky to have Amy as my buyer's agent. You can always count on a quick response from Amy. Amy's network gave me an advantage to find the exact location I was looking for. Her expertise during closing helped align all parties involved and make it as easy as it could be. She has a great positive attitude and realistic assessments of properties to keep you on target in your search. I would recommend Amy to my family and friends buying in the Indy area.

Please understand that I am 61 years old - and have experienced a wide range of real estate professionals over the year. Kristie Smith - along with her team (Adrienne Riggles in particular) have delivered the most impressive level of expertise and service I've experienced. My home had been on the market 8 Months with another agent. When given the opportunity to list my home - Kristie as transparent, honest and forthright about what needed to get accomplished. It was not all easy to hear - but I trusted her professionalism. The result? Having listed - I had a viable offer in less than 30 days. If that doesn't convince you she should be your realtor - nothing will! Jeff
