## Story

The company, based in Greenwood, IN serves the counties of Marion, Hamilton, Hancock, Shelby, Johnson, Brown, Morgan, Bartholomew and the surrounding areas.

The Stockhauses are multi-million-dollar producers. Cindy, who founded and leads The Stockhaus Team, is a member of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. The firm prides itself on working with clients at all price points at any point in their homeownership journey, including home investors. Michael comes from a small business background and understands the commitment and high customer service standards needed to operate a small business. He also brings 20 years of corporate management experience to the brokerage and is highly regarded in the community as a managing broker.

The Stockhauses were formerly a part of Carpenter Realtors where they spent the past 15 years earning a reputation for their Central Indiana real estate expertise and high-touch service. Now as leaders of their firm, they will maintain their reputation by continuing to prioritize clear communication with clients at every step of the transaction and beyond, community involvement, and best-in-class client service.

Indianapolis is a mid-size city with numerous professional sports teams and a popular destination for conventions. The area’s robust economy is fueled by several large companies such as Eli Lily, Cummins, Fed Ex and Amazon. Central Indiana is also home to several educational institutions, such as Butler, IUPUI, and Marian University.
