With over 10 years of real estate experience under my belt, I am well aware of the complexities that come with closing real estate transactions. However, my professional and investing experiences have afforded me the opportunity to help my clients navigate the sometimes unpredictable terrain of real estate. Some of my past experience includes managing several affordable housings initiatives (i.e., infill single family new construction and disposition, down payment assistance, rental assistance, etc.) in the City of East Chicago, IN and multi-family property management for the University of Chicago's graduate and faculty housing division. I'm currently a full time real estate broker with McColly Real Estate and licensed in both Indiana and Illinois. So whether you're looking for buy and holds, fix and flips or if you're even looking to sell or buy your personal residence, I am here to serve YOU!

In early 2014 Matt Posusta & Ryan Hoover met and started a partnership known as “515 Realtors”. While unsure how they would get there or what exactly it would look like they had the big goal in mind of opening up a Brokerage at some point in the future. Fortunately their journey took them through a couple great brokerages where they met great people, great mentors and helped them to gain a wealth of experience while they worked very hard to deliver results and happy clients! Along the way they were able to establish a great partnership with some like minded business/industry professionals from a different market and together they opened up 515 Real Estate & Insurance in 2018. 515 REI was a 100% independent brokerage; focused on becoming as agent centric as possible. Shortly after 515 opened its doors they launched a full service Property Management division, which took off!! As the property management became a bigger part of their business they developed a Real Estate Investing division as well; catering to new & established investors who wanted to grow/diversify their portfolios. Being a true ‘one stop shop’ and extending the client relationship has been an amazing experience and truly differentiates them from the competition. Numbers are growing aggressively, and investors are strengthening their portfolios creating better long term wealth! One thing that slowed a bit during the rapid growth in Property Management and Real Estate Investing was the Real Estate sales division. Matt & Ryan discovered Weichert, Realtors® and learned all about the industry leading training, national exposure, systems, resources and marketing that Weichert offered and they decided to acquire an independently owned franchise. In November, 2019 “Weichert, Realtors® - The 515 Agency” was born! This new franchise system allows them to offer agents & clients a level of support that was not currently available in the Central Iowa market. Acquiring the national exposure, industry leading tools/marketing/resources and leverage while remaining a local independently owned brokerage = no brainer for their clients, their agents and their communities!!

I am an active investor and investor-friendly agent specializing in multi-unit STR's, buy & hold, and fix & flips. I understand and know how to help other investors. Most traditional RE Agents don't understand the investment world. As investors, we speak the same language. Personally, I currently prefer property investing in buy & holds, fix & flips and wholesale, but I am open to other real estate investment strategies. I became licensed in order to handle my own buys and sells, but do pick up investor specific RE clients because of this. Currently, I am involved with the local REIA on two levels, (County Chapter and Area Chapter) in the Orlando market and Volusia County. I think you can never stop learning, always improving yourself. I like to encourage ethics in transactions to help keep the investment community healthy.
