Selling in Lantern Hills

What matters when you sell here.

With homes going under contract in about a week and half selling at or over asking, the launch matters more than anything: pricing at the market, professional photos and video on day one, and a plan for handling several offers at once.

I live in Indianapolis and work these neighborhoods every week. More about selling in Geist, or compare a cash offer if you need to sell fast.
