Before & After Gallery: Indianapolis and Greenwood Real Estate Transformations

At DNA Properties Indy, we specialize in Indianapolis and Greenwood real estate transformations that make every home stand out. Browse our before and after gallery to see how strategic staging, thoughtful design, and attention to detail help maximize property value and buyer appeal.

Not only can DNA Properties identify great investment properties (including public listings, for sale by owner, wholesale, auction, tax sale, and surplus listings), but they are also 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).

Minor Updates, Major Impact

Even if you’re not planning a full renovation, small, inexpensive changes can have a huge impact on your home’s presentation and sale price. Our Indianapolis and Greenwood home transformation consultations often include quick, high-return updates such as modern light fixtures, fresh neutral paint, new cabinet hardware, updated landscaping, and strategic staging. These details can make your listing photos pop and help your home sell faster — often for more money.

Whether you’re preparing to flip, rent, or sell, DNA Properties Indy can guide you through the best updates for your goals and budget.

Nick Reinhart
Damian was a huge help while searching for my first house! Very responsive to all my questions, and helped me navigate the process like a pro, and trusted friend. Highly recommend Damian for anyone looking to purchase!
Response from the owner:Nick, I really enjoyed working with you and think you ended up in a great house! Thanks for the review.
Anthony Gochenour
I worked with Damian to sell my house in Indiana while living full time across the country in Arizona, and I cannot speak highly enough of his work. He went above and beyond in every way, providing exceptional recommendations on repairs and prep for listing the property, helping to coordinate contractors and access to the property, and always being ready to handle every issue that came up throughout the process. He was very knowledgeable and developed an excellent strategy that allowed me to get the most out of the sale during a tumultuous time in the real estate market, while always prioritizing my preferences and comfort.
Selling my property while not physically being there caused lots of unusual hurdles, but having Damian on my side made everything go as smoothly as possible, and I felt confident working through each step knowing I could trust and count on him.
Response from the owner:Thank you Tony! I'm glad you trusted me to sell your beautiful home and help guide you through what I think resulted in a great purchase price. I'd be happy to work with you again!

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!
Angela O'Neill
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.
Emily Szostak
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!
Gwendolyn Lee Cakery
Proud to know Gretchen and consider her a friend as well as my agent.
victor zarco
the best experience is ... they don't just want to sell you a house ... they care about your long-term profit and satisfaction ... before you make a decision they explain you in an excellent way so that you understand each important point...thanks DNA Properties
Response from the owner:Thank you, Victor! I love working with you too and hope you love the house!
Dylan Sowa
Very responsive, and positive.
Response from the owner:It was very nice working with you, Dylan! You got a very good investment!
Angela Kauffman
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.
Peter Szostak
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
Liz Murphy
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
Ricky Anderson
