Some hallways never stop feeling like home.

We had the honor of returning to Bishop Chatard High School for Career Speaker Day, invited by Mr. Funk, Melissa’s former English teacher and now Chatard’s Work-Based Learning Coordinator.

Yesterday, we spent the morning talking with juniors and seniors about careers in residential real estate. We shared our journeys, what we love about the work, the hard parts, and how we ended up working together as a mother-daughter team. 🏡

Chatard runs deep in our family. Paula graduated in 1989, Melissa in 2010, and Melissa’s dad and sister are Trojans too. Walking those familiar hallways again, seeing all the incredible improvements (with more on the way!), and connecting with the next generation of Trojans made this such a special experience.

To the students who listened, asked questions, and shared their own plans, thank you. If there’s one thing we hope you take away, it’s that your first career doesn’t have to be your last. Sometimes the path you never expected leads you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Once a Trojan, always a Trojan! 💙🤍

September Solds 🔑🍂

Three closings. Three different stories. Three new chapters.

In Forest Hills, Melissa’s move-up buyers closed on a historic home full of not only character & craftsmanship but also updates! This one will always be extra special because they went under contract on Melissa’s wedding day; while she was getting ready to say “I do”, her clients were saying yes to their next home.

In Carmel, our first-time buyers found the home they didn’t even know they were looking for. Carmel wasn’t originally on their radar, but this one checked every box and then some. Now they’re officially homeowners. 🏡

And in Pendleton, our buyer found the perfect place to start a new chapter and enjoy a little small-town charm. From the beginning, Pendleton just felt like home.

As always, thank you to these wonderful clients for trusting Smith Family Realty with such meaningful milestones. Here’s to new front doors, new traditions, and all the memories still to come.

Thinking about your own next chapter? Our messages are always open!

NEW LISTING | 6630 Wilderness Place, Fishers 🍂

October has arrived, and with it the season for coming home. Some homes ask you to imagine what they could be. This one has already done the work, so all that’s left is to settle in before the first frost.

Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch was thoughtfully refreshed in 2026 with a new roof, new HVAC, new vinyl plank flooring, and fresh paint inside and out. The kitchen shines with brand new stainless appliances and new countertops, ready for c***r on the stove and pumpkin bread in the oven.

Inside, an open floor plan and vaulted ceiling keep things bright and airy, while new skylights pour autumn light into the great room. When that first crisp evening arrives, the wood-burning fireplace will be waiting.

The primary suite sits at the back of the home overlooking a private, fully fenced backyard, where a new deck and firepit set the scene for sweater weather, s’mores, and evenings beneath the changing trees.

All of this in Hamilton Southeastern Schools, close to shopping and dining.

Here’s to the next person lucky enough to spend this fall, and every season after, on Wilderness Place.

JUST LISTED in Carmel 🏡

All the ease of ranch living, with plenty of room to spread out.

This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home sits on a .64-acre cul-de-sac lot with a 3-car garage, fully fenced backyard, mature trees, a screened porch, finished basement, and upstairs loft.

Inside, vaulted ceilings open up the main living spaces, with new waterproof laminate flooring through the great room, dining room, primary bedroom, and basement. The split floor plan keeps all three bedrooms on the main level, while the updated kitchen overlooks the breakfast room and cozy hearth room with a gas log fireplace.

The hearth room opens right onto the 15x12 screened porch, which is exactly where I’d be spending every Indiana evening I could. There’s also a paver patio leading out to the big, private backyard.

Need even more space? The upstairs loft has its own closet and can work as a second living area or 4th bedroom, and the finished basement is made for hosting with a wet bar, bar fridge, and half bath.

And the location? You’re in Carmel Clay Schools and in the city U.S. News & World Report just named the #1 Best Place to Live in the U.S. for 2026–2027! All just minutes from Keystone and 465.

Room to spread out, space to host, and a backyard you’ll actually want to spend time in.

Opportunity awaits in Marion County ✨🌳
You can’t even see the home from the street. A nearly 600-foot private driveway leads you back to 7.19 secluded, wooded acres at 5336 W Epler Road.

The property includes a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home built in 1982, a 3-car detached garage, two additional outbuildings, and so much room to make it your own.

Think gardens, workshops, horses or animals, recreational space, camping, or simply having room to spread out while still being minutes from the interstate and everything Indianapolis has to offer.

The original owners built this home and lived here for nearly 40 years, and now this one-of-a-kind property is ready for its next chapter.

7.19 acres | 3 bedrooms | 2 baths | 3-car detached garage + 2 outbuildings

If you’ve been looking for land, privacy, and possibility without leaving Marion County, this is one to see in person.
📍 5336 W Epler Road, Indianapolis

What an August for this mother-daughter duo & our clients!
8 closings. Over $5.5 million in sales. All in 1 month 🏡

But the number isn’t really the story. The story is the people and families who trusted us with one of the biggest decisions they’ll make, the keys handed over, the happy tears at the closing table.

Grateful doesn’t quite cover it.
Getting to do this work side by side, as a small, local, family-run brokerage, never stops feeling like a gift. Thank you to everyone who let us walk alongside you this month.

Here’s to September 🎉

If a move is on your mind this fall, we’d love to help you think through what’s next. Call/text/DM us anytime.

July was a beautiful month, in every sense ♥️

8️⃣ closings during Melissa Stuttle | Indianapolis Realtor wedding month! With Melissa as the bride and Paula as mother of the bride, the two of them were closing homes side by side, right in the middle of all the celebrating.

July had a little of everything. Two off-market deals that came together quietly. Several repeat clients who called us again, which never stops meaning the world. First-time buyers getting their keys. Happy buyers and happy sellers on both sides of the table.

A beautiful month for our clients, and for our family.

If a move is part of your next chapter, we’d love to help you plan it.
