Rhonda Hoeft, REALTOR
Sales Associate Rhonda Hoeft joined the Indy Homes Team in July of 2011. Rhonda’s expertise in helping clients find the perfect home was honed at Estridge Homes, where she worked as a new home consultant for 7 ½ years.
“It was at Estridge that I fell in love with assisting clients in not only finding a home that fits their style preference, but one in which their family can grow in for years to come,” Rhonda says. “So often, clients think they know what they want but the details haven’t been thought through. I specialize in finding the home with the hidden details the client hasn’t thought of.”
Rhonda, a transplant from the Pittsburgh, PA area, has lived in Fishers with her husband, Kyle, and their two boys for the past 13 years.
