Hamilton County and Indy area is a great place to call home

There is a lot to love about the Indianapolis area. One of the things I enjoy about being a Realtor is that we don’t just show houses – we show off our communities. When a buyer is relocating from outside of the Indianapolis area, they may know which side of town they want to live on, but they often don’t know if they want to be in Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel and Westfield, etc.

As a former journalist, I also like to keep up with the news on what’s going on, so I love telling people what makes each of our communities unique. I also enjoyed hearing what city representatives have to say about what’s happening in our area at the annual Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors event Sell Our Cities.
