Excellent! We would highly recommend this agent and her team.
Description of Work: Kristie and her team where professional, personal, and knowledgeable. They showed a sense of urgency, their marketing strategies were phenomenal, and we sold our home in approximately three months. They were responsive and listened closely to what was important to us on both the selling and purchasing transaction. Kristie's team sold our home and helped us find a new home.

The entire team was amazing. Kristie sold our home within 60 days at 94% of the original asking price. We also had outstanding service from Amy in finding a new home. The process was very smooth and very easy!

My house had been on the market nearly a year when a friend referred my to Kristie. Kristie evaluated the house and gave a few suggestions prior to taking over as my realtor. Within three weeks, I had over 20 showings and an offer. Kristie made the process very quick and painless. I only wish that I had found her earlier!

Kristie Smith and her colleagues were able to sell our home very quickly in a down market when I relocated to Minnesota for a new job. She did a thorough analysis of the market, and determined an asking price that she thought would bring buyers. Although we had done some renovations this past year, she recommended some additional changes to make the home irresistable to potential buyers, and indeed, the very first family that walked through the home put a bid on the house. It sold within one week of being on the multiple listing service! This was also just after one of the worst ice storms in Indianapolis! I recommend her services to anyone.
Description of Work: Kristie Smith and her colleagues did a market analysis, suggested additional upgrades, helped us find painters, tile and countertop companies at a wholesale price, and arrange for title company and attorney for closing. They did a great job of marketing the home with a professional produced wide angle slide show on the Internet. As we had moved out of town, we were able to conduct business with them over the internet, through phonecalls, email, and text messages. They were able to use my electronic signature for legal documents which facilitated the transactions. They arranged for my daughter to have power of attorney to close on the home, but they would have done this service themselves if I had requested it.

My wife and I have moved eight times in the Fishers area. Kristie and her team gave us great advice on improving out house for this competitve market. They were very patient in helping us come to a conclusion on the extremely important pricing decisions. Also helpful were the tips we were given regarding staging the property to make it more attratctive to potential buyers. The result was that we had multiple showings from the very start and an offer within three weeks. The professionalism and prompt communication made this the easiest home selling experience we have ever had.

Kristie did a fantastic job helping me find a place to rent in Indy. Not being from the area, she was able to give detailed background information on the neighborhoods we looked at, and provided me with a very large number of listings to look at prior to my trip. On the day of my house hunting trip, she arranged a schedule, showed me the properties I was interested in, and then assisted me with negotiating with other parties for the rental. Her assistance was instrumental in my getting a great property for a fair price and lease terms. I plan to work with her again when I purchase a house.
Description of Work: Kristie provided rental house search services for my move to Indianapolis.

I contacted Jennifer (Endicott) who I found via Angie's List. My initial interview was via phone. She followed up with me a couple of weeks later via email - I appreciated the reminder and that it was done in a non-agressive way. She priced my 34 year old home to sell, even in this difficult market. She explained in detail how she arrived at the asking price. Jennifer was VERY helpful in securing estimates for repairs needing to be done as per the inspection report since I was out of town and unavailable. I relied upone Jennifer's experience during negotiations and so far, everything has gone smoothly. We close tomorrow!
Description of Work: Indy Homes Team sold my house in Carmel. It was listed on a Friday and I received my first offer 24 hours later, and the second offer (my asking price) 48 hrs later.

We used Kristie to purchase a home in a very competitive neighborhood. The homes sell quickly for full asking price plus. Kristie acted swiftly, and negotiated with the seller's agent and completed our transaction in a confident, knowledgeable, and timely manner. This was our second home to purchase. Without a doubt, Kristie acted in our best interest, and her entire team supported us during this process.

Kristie Smith and her entire team were great during this process. Selling a home in this difficult market is very challenging. Not only were we able to sell our home, we received 97% of asking price. We had attempted to sell our home previously with another agent. That agent let me set the price, and did not give me any push back, and as a result, the home never sold. Once we were recommended to Kristie, our home sold quickly. Her due diligence and responsiveness are amazing. I credit her and her entire team with this great experience. The marketing they do is amazing. We had nearly 40 showings on our home in less than 3 months, a direct attribute to their innovative marketing. I would highly recommend Kristie Smith during any real estate transaction. She is amazing!

The agent, Jennie Franklin, spent many hours with me locatiog the perfect home for me to buy. After several second showings, I found just what I wanted and am now re-located to the one story home I wanted. I can't say enough about the personal service that I recieved, among other things, the agent came to my house and advised me on how to stage my home to give it the perfect look. I feel that is one reason that it sold so quickly. All of my phone calls were returned in a timely manner(I had a lot). I would definitely use this team again.
Description of Work: Kristie's team listed my house and it had 12 showings in 7 days and sold on the 8th day. But the service did not end there. They helped me find the right Mortgage company to work with and made sure that I submitted all the info needed to secure my loan.

We did not end up using her because we decided not to sell the house. We were very pleased with her so I would have been happy to sell the house with her if we had decided on doing that. She was very punctual, professional, and polite. She went above and beyond and gave me suggestions on how to stage the house. She spent quite a bit of time and gave quite a bit of effort even though she didn?t have to.

We had a home that we had tried to sell a couple of times before that needed some updating, which we were blind to since we lived in the home. She came out and told us what to do and followed up making sure that we did the things that would help get the house moved. Amazingly she sold our house (which other agents told us would be unsellable) in 2 days at full list price.

It was a really great experience. Kristie and her team are very professional and care about you selling your house. It was a refreshing experience. Kristie and her team are head and shoulders above all other realtors we have worked with! Thank you Indy Homes Team!!
Description of Work: Kristie and her team sold our house! She provided guidance for improving the house so that it better matched our target demographic. She priced the house appropriately. Her team was very responsive. They sold our house! (This was a first time for us. Before, we had to sell the house ourselves. :( ) AND - the closing - it was ON TIME and we were prepared! We did not have to deal with any of this last minute business. We had no issues with the appraisal. We have bought and sold 7-10 houses and this was the first time we had everything we needed in order to prepare for the closing. It was AWESOME.

Response from Indy Homes - Kristie Smith
WOW! Thanks for the feedback; this is certainly very surprising for us to receive since communication is our strong-suit & pillar of our business. According to phone logs, we did respond to your initial voicemail the very next morning (after your 4pm call initially). Phone tag between the two of us occurred several times until you did not return our last attempt. Plus, on one occasion your cell phone mailbox was “full.” Sorry that we did not connect. I did look up your home, and it looked quite lovely. It is very disappointing to receive this negative of an Angie’s List score from someone whom I’ve never spoken to. We would have appreciated your response from our last voicemail versus leaving such a review. Thanks for using Angie’s List, regardless. --Kristie

The whole process went smoothly. Kristie told me up front the value of my home (less than what I paid for it) and what I needed to do to get it sold. She was very honest with me about what changes needed to be made in my house. I have had experience with a different real estate company in the past and Kristie's service FAR exceeds what I have had in the past. She was a pleasure to work with and when I purchase my next home I will list with her and buy through her.
Description of Work: Kristie listed my house in Pike Township during this poor economy and sold my house within 20 days. The amount I listed was the amount of the commission.

My husband and I recommend Kristie to all our friends looking to buy and sell a home. She offers exceptional experience and quality of service. Kristie provided some recommendations of changes to make to our house before putting it on the market. The photographer she hires is outstanding. The recommended changes and photos were key in getting our Pike home sold in 1 1/2 weeks. Kristie goes above and beyond and on several occasions found creative solutions to meet our individual needs. We appreciate her hard work and personal touch.

Kristie listed and sold our house in Pike township in 2 days. We were worried about the market conditions, but she told us exactly what we had to do to get our house sold. The best part about it was that we got more per sq. ft. than anyone else in the neighborhood, and we got more than we expected we would for the house. She was also able to aggressively negotiate with our builder and was able to help us navigate the buying process. I thought we would be able to buy on our own, but she was extremely helpful during negotiations with our builder. She did a fabulous job!
