About
I have always been fascinated with real estate, but took somewhat of the long route at turning that interest into a profession. When I found my current home in Zionsville in 2019, a complete twist of fate led me to F.C. Tucker REALTOR®, Tracy Ridings. Tracy exemplifies all the qualities a top-notch REALTOR should have: client-focused, principled, tenacious, and dedicated (to name a few). So when I decided to pursue real estate, I knew Tracy’s team was where I wanted to be. I am what you’d call a “first generation” homeowner, so I know the excitement, fears, and all the accompanying emotions that come along with buying a home – especially your first home! I also understand how bittersweet it can be to sell your home. My goal is to ensure accuracy and diligence throughout the home buying and selling process so you can make confident real estate decisions.

What I love about Indy/Indiana:
Indy is a fabulous city that is just the right size and has so much to offer. There’s also so many other amazing cities (Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville) all within driving distance. While the Midwest weather isn’t always up to par, there really is so much to do in Indiana in every season. From a toboggan run perfect for a winter adventure to summer fun at sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. Like they say at Indiana Beach, there really is more than just corn in Indiana!
