Indy Homes - Kristie Smith

Description of Work: They met with us from the first meeting providing us with quick, efficient service and we were able to list our house very quickly. They did an excellent job of presenting the home and we sold it in three days. Even though they were not the cheapest we looked at they got the house sold quickly for more than we were asking. I would for sure use them again as it was a very high quality experience in every phase.

Description of Work: I did a walk through on a few of their properties & agents Sarah Beth & Christy are the absolute best. They host wonderful open houses & provide any and all information you could possibly need!

Description of Work: These girls are good! Amy is creative, professional and very responsive. We had a unique situation with our home and Amy was able to sell it twice! I would recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their home. They know how to sell homes fast.

Description of Work: Kristie is amazing. We could not have hoped for a better advocate or for better service. We looked for a home for 7-8 months with her. We had the luxury of not being in a big hurry to find a house, but we never felt that Kristie was rushing us or getting frustrated. We changed our target location a couple of times and were very picky (very specific regarding our desires and location) and she was incredibly patient and upbeat through it all. She made sure that we were notified by email of all houses in our target range, and she was very responsive to requests to see a house. Eventually, she suggested that we consider purchasing land in our target area and building our house. Desperate, we gave it a try and soon the perfect piece of land went on the market. Kristie would have made a much larger amount on the sale if she had sold us a house instead of land, but she just wanted us to have the perfect house for us. She was very happy for us and felt a sense of victory with us. Something we often said about Kristie was that she is "fearless." Her advocacy skills are unmatched. She did not hesitate to think through situations and ask tough questions of sellers or their realtors. When our land revealed some easement issues, her first comment was that she was going to reapproach the seller and ask for a lower price than what we had initially offered. She worked so fast that before we had time to really think about what good fortune that would be, it was a done deal. We will definitely be using Kristie to sell our current house. She has already been out to walk around and make suggestions to increase our resale value. She has sound advice and good taste. We are so blessed to have found her on Angie's List and highly recommend her.

Description of Work: Kristie and her team sold my house in 3 days. They sold my Mother's house in 8 days two years ago between Thanksgiving and Christmas. They worked for a year trying to help me purchase a short sale condo knowing they would little or no commission. I would use this team again in heartbeat and recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home!

Description of Work: Kristie and the IndyHomes team, including Amy McIntyre and JoDee in the office were so professional and helpful from start to finish. Kristie is a dynamo, - competent and energetic, and knows her profession well. She came to our home and gave suggestions about what had to be changed in order to sell, suggestions on placement of objects, and was blunt, but honest about where the difficulties would be in selling our home and what the strengths were. She and Amy knew the area we lived in very well, and consistently gave daily feedback, as well as weekly reports on Tour Factory. The staff was so kind, as sometimes it can be hard to take someone not liking something in your house or yard, but JoDee's feedback was always positive and kind with an upbeat attitude. Kristie has gotten many awards and we can see why. She likes data and knows the market well, from observations about when people hunt for homes on the internet to tips for the final home inspection. There were moments of panic and Kristie and her team really saw us through these times. We ended up selling our house for a sum we were happy with, and Kristie did a great job of handling two bids and educating one of the realtors representing one of the buyers. She loves her job and it is always amazing to see people who are tops at whatever profession they are in. We could not have asked for a better realtor and team and will use Kristie when we decide to buy our new home in the future.

Description of Work: Kristie got a contract on our home in two weeks that it was first on the market. She walked through each room and gave me economical, creative ideas to make our home more appealing. Her ideas were right on. Her eye doesn't miss a thing. It is wise to listen to her. She knows what is current and what is dated and how to make the most of it. She is very professional and on top of everything. Her sister works with her and handles the details and paperwork. They are the best team!! And always accessible. They keep each other and the client in the loop when it comes to communicating. They are prepared and you are prepared. During the negotiations some things we thought Kristie might push back on us, but she didn't. She told me she used to believe in winning as much as you could, but she has learned that a win-win for both sides is the best and fairest and deals are made that would fall through otherwise. She and I had to get to know each other and once we did--we were a team! This has been our best experience ever working with a realtor and I have nothing but respect for her and her sister. Also I was very pleased with the video services that they supplied showing off our home and grounds. It reflected the care and effort we put into it and it showed it off beautifully.

Description of Work: Kristie and her team leased my condo out in the Meridian Kessler area for the superbowl. It was such a seamless process and they were very professional from start to finish. I would highly reccomend Kristie Smith to any individual, corporation, that is looking to lease, sell, or list their current home for sell, she is wonderful and by far the top agent here in Indianapolis.

Description of Work: Kristie and her team did a swift, thorough, and OUTSTANDING job of locating a home that was specific to my needs and those of my children. The options were researched, narrowed, and presented to me with no effort on my part and our perfect choice was brought right to us. Negotiations were stress free and handled without any drama for us. Paperwork, financing, and closing were a breeze. I am especially grateful for this because leaving our former home was a difficult choice and emotional for us. Kristie knew this and her team listened, were sensitive to our needs, took over, and it was a non-event in our lives. They were prompt, informative and professional every step of the way. I wouldn't even think of using a realtor other than her!

Description of Work: Indy Homes Team, specifically Rhonda Hoeft and Kristie Smith, connected us with individuals to rent our home over Superbowl weekend. They completely handled the financial transactions and legal contracts. They assisted us with our home preparation prior to the arrival of the weekend since this was our first experience of this type. They made everything seem really easy and we were able to finalize the details while on our vacation in Mexico! Imagine making money while being on vacation. Thank you, Indy Homes Team!!

Description of Work: Kristie Smith and her real estate - "Indy Homes Team at ERA Real Estate Links were AMAZING. With the housing market in a slump we needed to move to be closer to our aging parents to assist in their care. We met with Kristie 10/08. She was honest re: the housing market and she listened to our every concern. In the middle of changing jobs, driving back and forth, and putting in some sweat equity the house was listed 1/2/09 and was sold on 3/20/09 w/ closing less than 1 month later. Her team is OUTSTANDING. Every week we received e-mails showing how many people looked at our home on 8 different real estate web sites - what they liked and didn't like about what they saw etc...... We were notified of any showings by phone prior to the showing and received feed back from the showing realtor which her team - Sherry, Amber and all - shared with us after each showing. We had on average at least one showing per week. When we didn't understand something in the process - they taught us. When we had detailed questions they explained/answered us. They were beyond patient, kind, professional, and caring. They are up to date on all the marketing techniques so your home has more than just a "local" look but anyone moving into the area from around the globe can find your house. They now real estate - Hands Down!!! They'll meet you where you are and teach you about where you and your home needs to be to sell in this market. An Exceptional group of human beings!!!
