We are first-time home buyers and Sam was very patient with us, explaining a lot of things to us and answering our questions. Their time spent on the client is above and beyond, and the attention to detail is fantastic. And the prices are very competitive, especially for Indy. We actually looked at 2 houses, so scheduling a second home inspection with them was a no brainer! And they have 3 payment methods, excluding a card, but the variety of options made it very doable for us.

Our move was from Chicago to Indianapolis, so we had very limited time to be at our new house to…read moreoversee an inspection and all the other work involved in the home buying process. We talked to Kim, who was able to give us an inspection on pretty short notice, and we appreciated that since we were short on time. The first phone call with him lasted over an hour and he gave us tons of information (we were first time homebuyers) told us the process step-by-step, and was very up front about pricing. One of his selling points was that while most inspections take 2-3 hours, he was committed to staying as long as necessary to get the job done right. This was important to us because the house we were buying was a foreclosure and not in great shape, so we wanted someone thorough. Kim told us that he would get to our house at 9:00 on the day of the inspection and that we could come by at 10:30 to begin going through things with him. When we arrived at 10:30, he had done almost nothing. It seemed like he had been waiting for us to get there to sign the contract (understandable, but he shouldn't have told us to come an hour and a half later if that was the case). Once we got the utilities up and running, Kim set out to do his work. Our biggest complaint is that he was not methodical at all--he sort of aimlessly roamed from room to room checking things with no sense of order. It was not a matter of "Let's check all of the electrical work in every room, now let's check the plumbing in each room" etc. We tried to stay out of his way, but he kept getting side-tracked and before we knew it he was telling us stories about houses in Carmel with trees growing out of the gutters and chipmunks coming in through the fireplace in his own house. He brought his college-aged son along to help (generally fine with us) but it was the son's first day on the job, and he significantly slowed Kim down. It wasn't very professional. Because of his haphazard movement through the house, we were very, very concerned that he was missing things. He spent a lot of time giving us tips on home-owning (how to unclog different types of drains, how the garbage disposal works, etc.) but not a lot of time actually inspecting. The whole ordeal took almost 6 hours, and if he had been more focused, it could have easily been done in 3 hours max. He emailed us the report a few days later which was very average in terms of organization and pictures. The cost of the inspection was outrageous. To be fair, it was exactly what he quoted us, and we knew that it was on the high end of what was acceptable, but we were crunched for time and he was our only option. We ended up feeling a little taken advantage of. The high price was mostly attributable to the fact that Kim had to "de-winterize" the house, which consisted of lighting the pilot lights on the furnace and water heater. He told us in advance that if this was necessary (we didn't know whether or not it would be, since we were out of town) it would cost $150. He said that he understood that this was a very high charge, but as a home inspector, he's not really supposed to do this, and he charges such a high amount so that if something ever goes wrong, he can compensate for it since it would be his responsibility. In terms of economics, I understand. In terms of legality, it doesn't seem like this is OK. The general inspection did not include testing for radon, mold, or environmental contaminants. The overall price breakdown was $480 for the inspection (which included a termite inspection...we think the general inspection was $400 plus $80 for the termites) and $150 for the de-winterization, for a total of $630. Wow. In summary, Kim did what he said he would do and charged what he quoted us, and we can't fault him for that. We ended up not buying this house (he did find some pretty scary things during the inspection) so we are thankful that his expertise helped us make that decision. However, when we found another house and purchased it, we used a different inspector who was much more professional, thorough, cheaper, and provided a better report in a shorter amount of time. Kim was a nice guy, but there are definitely others out there who are better.

Our move was a bit more complex, as we needed to find a home not just for our family, but also for a family member moving with us, each with their own set of needs. During a weekend visit, Jennie essentially became my personal guide to the Carmel and Fishers area, taking the time to tour homes, walk me through different neighborhoods, and help us weigh our options. She truly listened to our criteria and went above and beyond to find options that fit our unique situation. With Jennie's help, we found the perfect homes for both our family and our family member. She supported us throughout the entire process, from virtual open houses to navigating escrow, and even continued to be a resource afterward, connecting us with contractors, plumbers, and painters as we settled in. Jennie genuinely cares about her clients, takes pride in her work, and sets high standards on their behalf. Over these past few months, she's become not just a trusted real estate partner, but a friend I still reach out to as we make Carmel our home.

Tom Galovic is the absolute best in the business. My husband and I were initially looking to lease,…read morebut ended up shopping the Indy market to own in the downtown area. Tom was flexible and worked hard to accommodate our ever-changing plans. We were in Texas the majority of the time, but he always kept us updated and on track. When we came to Indy, we had only 5 days from the time we found the home we wanted to put an offer in for to the time we were flying back to Texas, and Tom was able to start the negotiating process as well as set up a home inspection before we left. He and his team worked around our tight schedule, always making sure someone was available to show us properties or be there with us for the home inspection. He was constantly in contact with our lenders and with us, making sure that our loan was going through smoothly. When we found out Wells Fargo couldn't do the loan 1 week before we were scheduled to close, (loooooonnnng story, nothing to do with Tom of Indy Plus Realty Group or even WF, really just the huge careless mistake of one particular loan officer), Tom tried his hardest to accommodate us as we had already scheduled movers, trucks, etc. in order to drive up from Texas and move in on the original date. He went so far as to try to bargain with the sellers for us to move in prior to the closing date and even offered to pay for storage for our stuff if it didn't work out. He was always easy to reach, prompt at returning phone calls, emails or texts. He fought for us even at closing, making sure every one of our concerns was addressed by the sellers. Tom is incredibly knowledgeable about the Indy area, particularly with the downtown area. He has lots of experience with working with IU physicians and employees. Indy Plus Realty Group has a great program for first time physician home owners where they give you back a percentage of their realtor fees. He has great working relationships with lenders, home inspectors, etc. and the people he recommended were all really wonderful as well. Tom and his team are the kind of people that you want to work with; they're professional, honest and diligent. You will not regret working with this group. They are, hands-down, the best.

We dealt with multiple evictions, poor communication, and ongoing mismanagement that created unnecessary stress and financial losses. The final straw was the complete incompetence of their self-proclaimed "visionary," Brandt Adams. We also discovered that funds we entrusted to EMS were taken or withheld without our authorization, resulting in significant financial losses. Instead of taking responsibility or providing clear answers, we were met with excuses and a lack of accountability. We are in the process of suing Brandt since he stole our money. I guess he missed the class on ethics while attending BYU. If you're considering EMS to manage your properties, think twice. Our experience was costly, frustrating, and one we would never want another property owner to go through.
