Not only can DNA Properties identify great inventment properties (including public listings, for sale by owner, wholesale, auction, tax sale, and surplus listings), they are a great resource for consultation throughout the renovation and rental process. Gretchen has extensive project management experience and construction knowledge, can provide budget guidelines and recommended courses of action, advise on the current, most popular design trends, tell you what makes sense for each neighborhood, and provide estimated post-flip after repair value (ARV).

A realtor is good but also having an expert in staging is better. I'd say Gretchen's expertise and opinion got me 10k more than what the exact floorplan in my subdivision received just six weeks earlier. Very pleased with her outstanding work for me.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much, David! I really appreciate it and your willingness to trust my judgment. It helped that you had some great pieces to add to the staging and kept your home looking nice throughout the listing period. Best of luck to you in your new home!

Damian made getting my first house such a pleasure! His work ethic, friendliness, and great attitude is unmatched. So lucky to be on that team!

Response from the owner: Thank you for the review! It was so nice working with you to find the right home. -Damian

Gretchen and Damien were extremely helpful as always with our latest purchase. We have been working with them for several years to buy and sell investment properties. I trust and value their advice on areas in Indianapolis and comps. Additionally Gretchen is always looking out for us at closings to ensure everything is correct and has caught errors that saved us money more than once. We highly recommend their services.

Damian and Gretchen just helped us sell our house and we couldn't be more pleased. They helped us every step of the way from assisting with contractors to staging to helping us navigate the offers. Once we had the house listed, we had it sold in less then 36 hours and closed 3 weeks later. They helped make the whole process a breeze. If you are in a need of a relator, they are definitely the way to go!

Response from the owner: Thank you for trusting us to sell your beautiful home!

I’ve worked with DNA as an out of state RE investor for 4+ years, and from distances over 4000miles. From a military service member perspective,they are very dependable and available after hours for advice with a sale or purchase.

Response from the owner: Thanks, Thom! Congratulations on the recent sale of your building, and we love working with you too!

Proud to know Gretchen and consider her a friend as well as my agent.

Response from the owner: Thank you, Victor! I love working with you too and hope you love the house!

Gretchen is a great realtor for investors. She is always on top of every part of the transaction and helps you sort through what is worth doing and what is not as an investor. We've bought and sold several properties with her and it has always been a great experience!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it.

The best realtor there is! Very helpful through the process and will hold the other side accountable. This can save you thousands.

Response from the owner: Thanks for the support, Peter! In real estate, we treat our clients like family, especially when they are! If you need anything from us in the future, we're here for you! -Gretchen S., Owner

Gretchen Szostak is the only realtor I will work with after having the pleasure of working with her on two home purchases and one sale. She is bright, professional, and a hard-working advocate for her clients. Her love for homes is evident in every step she takes to find her clients exactly what they want for the best deal possible.

Response from the owner: I'm honored to be your first line of defense, Liz! You should get exactly what you're looking for when it comes to your home, and I'll do anything to make that happen. It's always awesome working with you! -Gretchen

Gretchen is an excellent person and amazing to work with. She won't stop until everything is resolved and you are content. An absolute delight.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you.

Response from the owner: Thank you, Scott! I appreciate the rating :)

Response from the owner: Thank you!

Gretchen has been very helpful in selling our house and buying another one she is very quick to response time and on top of everything!!

Response from the owner: Thanks, Sean! It was great working with you and Brittney and I’m excited to see the house once it’s finished.
