Welcome to our bustling real estate office, where the hum of activity never ceases. As November graces us with its presence, we can't help but feel grateful for the vibrant energy and unwavering commitment of our talented agents. This month, as we embrace the season of gratitude, we reflect on all the elements that make our office feel like a second home and our brokerage’s support staff and team members like a second family.

Our office is more than just a place of work; it's a hub of camaraderie and shared aspirations. We're thankful for the dedication and hard work that our agents bring to the table daily, making our brokerage the thriving success it is today. The bond that unites our brokerage is as strong as the deals we close.

In our continued pursuit of excellence, we asked our September Top Producers who have seen it all, from challenging market seasons to heartwarming client stories. Let's delve into the insights of these remarkable agents as they answer our questions and share tips and stories on the valuable lessons they've learned in their many years as realtors and how they stay on top of their game.

 

"Always Be Available" 

In the fast-paced world of real estate, Dana Wright lives by one golden rule: always be available. She takes "time is money" quite seriously, responding to text messages in a blazing 90 seconds and emails within four hours. She even answers her phone like a superhero on caffeine because, in this business, missed calls are like missed lottery tickets. Dana believes in building relationships through constant interaction, proving to clients that they can count on her, and leaving a lasting impression that's hotter than a two-alarm fire.

 

Cate Waggoner-Lee's secret recipe for building strong and lasting client relationships goes beyond mere transactions. She takes the time to get to know her clients on a personal level, remembering their kids' names, their pets' names, and even their favorite vacation spots. Cate's philosophy? Treat your clients as friends, not just customers, and keep that connection alive by touching base with them regularly. It's not just about being a trusted professional but also being a true-blue buddy.

"Motivation Beyond the Paycheck"

For Jason Williamson, motivation isn't measured in paychecks but in the satisfaction of helping clients achieve their dreams. He'd take a pat on the back over a paycheck any day. Jason knows that real estate is all about advocating for your clients, especially when the going gets tough. For him, challenges are like golden tickets to make a real difference in people's lives. He's a real estate superhero, and his superpower is making dreams come true.

“A Real Estate Tale of Triumph: Preserving Dreams and Nature”

Rob Campbell shares a heartwarming story about a challenging property sale involving Dr. G. Despite initial resistance from the neighbors, a match was found with Johnson County Land Trust, ensuring the land's protection and preservation. Dr. G's dream of keeping the property in its natural state was fulfilled, and both the buyer and the seller were over the moon. This tale reminds us that real estate isn't just about deals; it's about bringing joy to all parties involved.

“Opportunity to Serve”

Cheryl Sizemore sums up her approach to real estate in a single word: "Opportunity." She emphasizes that real estate lets you assist people from all walks of life in various situations. From first-time homebuyers to empty nesters, real estate agents have the privilege of guiding individuals through one of life's most significant decisions. The diversity of experiences and backgrounds makes each day in real estate an adventure full of unique opportunities.

 

 "Treating Clients Like Employers"

Keith Turnbill breaks the myth that Realtors are self-employed. Instead, he treats each client as his employer, aiming for outstanding "performance reviews" from all of them. He sees client satisfaction as his promotion and ultimate success. By providing top-notch service, Keith ensures his clients return and refer friends and family, keeping the real estate party rolling.

"The Power of Follow-Up"

Josh Latham has some pearls of wisdom for his younger self: "Follow up, follow up, follow up!" He wishes he had been more diligent in maintaining thorough contact with past clients. In hindsight, he recognizes the importance of this practice and its impact on long-term success. Sometimes, we all need a little nudge in the right direction to reach the stars.

"Homegrown Expertise: Mukul's Beloved Avon/Plainfield"

Mukul Khanna's favorite playground is Avon/Plainfield on the west side of Indianapolis. He holds this area close to his heart because it's where he grew up, and he feels a deep connection to the place. It's not just about the properties; it's about the memories, the history, and the warm feeling of home that makes this neighborhood extra special for him.

We hope you've enjoyed these insights from our top producers, each of whom brings a unique perspective to our real estate family. As we enter November with gratitude in our hearts, we're reminded that our office is more than just a place of business; it's a place where dreams are realized and lasting connections are forged.

The dedication and passion of our agents have been the driving force behind our thriving success, and we're excited to continue this journey with you, our clients, and our community. As the season of gratitude unfolds, we invite you to reach out and connect with us. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply curious about the real estate market, we're here to assist you on your journey.

And to all the talented agents out there who share our passion for real estate, we extend an open invitation to join our brokerage family. We believe in the power of collaboration and are always looking for dedicated individuals who want to be a part of our dynamic team.

Thank you for being a part of our real estate family, and here's to a November filled with opportunities, shared dreams, and the unwavering commitment that makes our office a true home for real estate success.

Indianapolis has family-friendly suburbs, but a few repeat offenders stand out. Suburbs in Indianapolis, like Fishers, Zionsville, Carmel, and Greenwood, are ideal places to raise a family. Most suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana, are huge, and not everyone wants shopping and movie theaters.

But which suburbs in Indianapolis are quieter, smaller, and still suitable for raising a family? Below are the family-friendly suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana, which are great if you're searching for a rural lifestyle, a lakeside community, or developments with a little more room.

The Small Suburbs Of Indianapolis, Indiana

New Palestine

1. New Palestine

Indianapolis residents who wish to feel like they don't live in the suburbs will love New Palestine. This rustic, open area is called "New Pal" by locals. New Palestine is a great area to reside in an agricultural setting and increase your land.

Those seeking the county-adjacent front porch swing lifestyle must forego some conveniences. In New Pal, nothing is within walking distance. There's nothing within a few minutes' drive. Although New Palestine has limited conveniences, you can get what you need. The town has grocery stores, clinics, and other necessities, but you must go to a larger city for comprehensive shopping.

New Palestine has an excellent school system. Though small, these schools are good. Many Hancock County students attend New Palestine High School even though they don't reside there. New Palestine is a safe, family-friendly suburb that appreciates the simple things in life.

Bargersville

2. Bargersville

Population growth in Bargersville. As far south as the Indy Metro Area can go, this family-friendly suburb of Indianapolis is. Bargersville is farther south than Greenwood but still has much to offer: good schools, lovely residences, and exciting things to do almost year-round.

Outdoor lovers love Bargersville. South of the Mighty Ohio River on Indiana's southern border, undulating hills and lush forests replace central Indiana's plains. A nature lover's paradise is the Hoosier National Forest and Brown County State Park south of Bargersville. Bargersville, Indiana, feels like the woods with fishing, camping, hiking, and great mountain biking trails.

Pittsboro

3. Pittsboro

West of Brownsburg, IN, Pittsboro is a lovely suburb of Indianapolis. Pittsboro is smaller than Bargersville or New Palestine but has 3,500 residents. Residents in Pittsboro enjoy a quieter lifestyle yet have all the facilities of Brownsburg, one of Indianapolis' largest suburbs. Although rural and open, Pittsboro is adjacent to Eagle Creek State Park, making it a good compromise between New Palestine and Bargersville.

Choosing public education in Pittsboro means sending your kids to Brownsburg High School. Although vast, this school's evaluations speak for themselves. Brownsburg High School is an excellent choice for your kids, with many activities, athletics, and organizations.

McCordsville

4. McCordsville

McCordsville and Fishers are often mistaken as the same, but it's not since it's smaller and quieter. 

Being close to Fisher allows McCordsville to have suburban and rural vibes while being one of the fastest-growing in the Indy Metro location.

The Geist Reservoir is a significant benefit of this modest, family-friendly community. One of Central Indiana's most prominent attractions, this stunning water feature has over 1,900 acres of water. Residents near the reservoir enjoy fishing, boating, swimming, and aqua fun, letting them enjoy lake life. This location explodes in summer, so be prepared to welcome a more significant population if you move here.

Cicero

5. Cicero

Cicero is a drive on the northern end of Indy if you work downtown or frequent the city. Despite being an overlooked suburb, its merits outweigh its cons.

Cicero has several fantastic school districts, depending on where you live. In most Indianapolis suburbs, public schools are well-ranked. It also offers a love of the outdoors in Cicero Red Ridge Park.

There's a busy scene in downtown Cicero. Recently, Cicero's newly revitalized downtown has become charming and none of the other little suburbs have a golf course like what they have. Although smaller than Indianapolis' suburbs, this area has a little of everything.

What makes a good bagel? The answer is, nobody knows. Nobody besides a select few that is. The art of baking a bagel is similar to that of alchemy, in that it can only be learned or taught by one who has spent countless hours dedicated to perfecting their craft.

Luckily, we have one such gent right here in Indianapolis in Josh Greeson. And while he is a bit too humble to call himself The Bagel Alchemist, we have no qualms in doing it for him.

Josh initially started to sell his delicious bagels at Amelia’s, a bread bakery in Fountain Square, on Wednesdays, and quickly realized his demand was outgrowing just that one day.

In comes delivery! While you can still get Side Door Bagels at Amelia’s on Wednesdays, Josh now does fresh bagel delivery to Indianapolis and surrounding areas for free! (some areas may include additional charge). So you can now support a local and amazing business, while getting the freshest and most tasty bagels in Indianapolis!

Delivery days are Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. You can also order fresh cream cheeses and schmears! More info on Side Door Bagel’s Facebook and Instagram. We sat down (virtually of course) with Josh to ask him some questions below, we love his story!

Q: Indy Home Pros - How did you get into baking, and then how did you get into bagels specifically?

A: Josh - I am a self taught home baker. I have worked full time at Amelia’s for 9 months now, and I have been doing my own bagel delivery for about 7 months. I’ve always enjoyed cooking but gravitated towards baking and sourdough bread about 5 years ago. I got pretty into it where I was planning my weekends around my baking schedule and giving loaves of bread away to friends and family I was making so much. 

Q: What inspired you to start Side Door Bagel, and when did you start it?

A: I’ve always made bagels for family gatherings because bagels were one of my favorite foods growing up. I’ve always noticed the lack of a good bagel shop in Indy, so whenever I started at Amelia’s I asked the owner if I could make bagels to sell there. He gave his full support and since then I went about perfecting my bagel recipe. 

It’s taken me probably close to half a year to almost feeling confident in it. (Still not completely happy with them lol). **The Indy Home Pros would like to note that this is the sign of any true craftsman/arist, never being satisfied even though everyone loves your work, or bagels!) 

Side Door Bagel was supposed to be a pop up bagel shop that I was going to do on Saturdays out of an actual side door at Amelia’s, and it never really happened, but the name still stuck! The owner decided we could do bagel Wednesdays and it’s kinda snowballed where every week we decide to make more and they always sell out. 

The owner has been generous enough to let me do my own thing with the bagels, and I decided to have a side bagel hustle where anyone could message me about bagels and I would deliver them straight to their door. I have found that the more I deliver, the more the word about my bagel delivery business has spread. Orders have picked up a lot within the last month to where I’ve had to limit my delivery days to 3 times a week. (Monday, Thursday, and Saturday).

My dream has been to hopefully have my own spot for bagels and coffee. But for now I’m really enjoying working with the crew at Amelia’s and doing a side gig of delivering bagels around the city. 

Q: What is unique about a sour dough bagel, and how, if at all, does it differ from what one may call a "traditional bagel"?

A: When bagels are considered “sourdough” bagels, it means that they’re leavened with wild yeast instead of commercial instant yeast that most bagels are made with. Using commercial instant yeast allows you to bake bread within a couple of hours. Wild yeast or “sourdough” is superior in flavor because it benefits from an overnight cold fermentation.

Let me begin by saying I am not a good critic, even there, that was a typo that I find too fitting to fix. I am not a food critic, but I like to think I know a good bagel when I taste one. And while I may be a Google Certified Local Guide, (basically the twitter or instagam equivalent of having a blue check mark) that still doesn't mean I'm a good critic nor food critic, and it definitely doesn't mean you should listen to me. Except on this, listen to me on this article.

From Brooklyn to Chicago, I've made it a point to try local bagel shops, yet I didn't know the bagel experience could be elevated to such a pure level until I tried Sidedoor Bagel in Indianapolis. And while I am of the belief that one won't be able to fully comprehend this bagel experience until they've digested it, I will attempt to describe it.

Sidedoor Bagel sits rather unassumingly at the northeast corner of 10th and Dorman, just minutes from Indy's famous Monument Circle. As you walk up, you're greeted by the warm glow of the Sidedoor Bagel neon sign. If you listen close enough, you can hear the sign beckoning to your taste buds and stomach to enter this sourdough sanctuary.

That's correct, sourdough. Bagels. Sourdough bagels. I've got to think this is a major part of what makes these bagels taste so unique. And while I know other places around town might use sourdough or a sourdough base, they just aren't as chewy and fluffy as Sidedoor in my opinon. Anyway, for more info on the sourdough process, go to youtube. To taste the process, go here.

Walk inside and you're greeted by a smell that inspires you to do your best Emeril, "BAM!", but you don't, because you dont' want to make things awkward. If you're lucky enough not to have a line in front of you, you'll see the modern counter set in front of a wall of modern tile complete with a menu.

Now what you do next is up to you, and I can only base my recommendations off my experience. That being said, I'm confident there is no such thing as a wrong next choice; unless you walk out without ordering for some unfathomable reason.

I ordered the everything bagel with jalapeno cream cheese (pictured below), or schmear as it is referred to at Sidedoor. I did not stop there; you do not come this far for just one bagel. I then ordered a chopped chocolate bagel (available Friday's only I believe) and went with the recommended orange marmalade butter which, unbeknownst to me at the time, would soon change my life. I ordered both bagels toasted and pre-schmeared.

I get to my car because sitting at one of their seats to eat wasn't the type of private experience I felt I needed for what was about to happen. I started with the everything bagel because you can't start with sweets first, it's a rule. The moment you take a bite you know something is different.

It's chewy, in the best way. The exterior is crunchy, but not too crunchy. The flavors are what other everything bagels want to be, distinct and not overpowering. I'm not going to google what's in an everything spice, like garlic and stuff? But I love it. I ate it so fast I'm surprised I am able to recollect as much as I just did.

Now for dessert; chopped chocolate bagel sliced, toasted, with orange marmalade life changing butter. I did not know a bagel experience could be this blissful. The chocolate and the orange pairing, and the warm marmalade butter on a bagel, I simply don't have the culinary vernacular needed to better describe it. So I recommend you..go try it!
