Client Testimonials for Inspired Homes

Jill was amazing to work with! She answered all my questions and made sure I knew what was going on every step of the way! I highly recommend doing business her.

Ashley Leader is the most amazing realtor! We had a strange set of circumstances where she found a perfect house 5 months ago and helped us purchase it, just to have to move 5 months later in which she sold that same house in the most expedient manner. She is professional, knowledgeable and her personality outshines most. It was a seamless purchase and a seamless sale. So from both perspectives of the real estate market she exemplified complete follow through and closure on both ends. Thankyou for making a crazy transition very peaceful.

Ashley and the team at Inspired Homes were fantastic. Ashley went above and beyond to assist us in this process - even sacrificing a couple hours on a holiday weekend - to obtain access to a home for us to look at. At our closing a long-standing local home builder said Ashley is the best agent he has ever worked with.

Abby was amazing and made my first time home buying process a breeze! She made sure to answer all my questions quickly and was there every step of the way. I am forever grateful to have her as my realtor.

We loved working with Linda Demel! We bought our “starter home” with Linda 9 years ago, and just recently bought another home with Linda again! She is so knowledgeable and helpful! I’d recommend her to everyone!

Linda has helped me with selling a previous home and now purchasing my new home 🏡 She is attentive and always available! The whole inspired team is easy to work with and makes the whole process enjoyable!

My family and I had a phenomenal experience working with Kim Powell. She was our listing agent. We owned a beautiful albeit unconventional home in South Bend and our house was on the market for a very long time before we met Kim. We decided to part ways with our previous agent and hired Kim upon a personal recommendation from my colleague.
Kim truly did an extraordinary job with our home. We staged it and re-listed on the market and our house was under contract in 2 weeks and closed within 6 weeks of re-listing.
I was so frustrated with the house selling process based on my previous experience, but knowing that I had Kim by my side made it so much easier and stress free. She and her entire team at Inspired Homes are truly wonderful.
Kim is a great listener, very knowledgeable, and always open to suggestions. We had already moved out of town when we sold our South Bend home, but Kim was always prompt in responding to my texts and phone calls and very patient with me.
She is truly one of a kind!!
I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to sell or buy a home in Michiana.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kyra Hammett of Inspired Homes to sell my home in Mishawaka. I live out of state and was curious how all this would transpire. Well, I did not have to worry as Kyra was extremely informed about selling real estate, and a kind generous person who has the patience of Job !!!! It was a team effort for all involved and Kyra was the Coach. I will be forever grateful for all the work she did for me. Inspired Homes is a state of the art corporation and they are so very honored to have Kyra as part of the team. I am eternally grateful to my friend who lives in South Bend for recommending Kyra as my agent. My thanks to you always....Barbara

Ashley was diligent, and so kind, as she took the time to know me, and to fine-tune her search, such that she began to see potential homes with my eyes. She found the right home, the right commute, and the right neighbors in a true example of synchronicity. If I ever move again, she’ll get my call!

Diane was incredible! We threw curve after curve at her and she simply solved them all!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I am grateful to know Ashley Leader. I was involved in a potential real estate transaction that Ashley was the agent for that by the grace of God didn’t go through. Throughout it, Ashley’s focus was on what was best for me. It said a lot to me then and as I reflect back on it today, it speaks to the type of person I know Ashley to be. She is as genuine as they come, selfless, and truly cares about others. I am thankful to know her and call her a friend. There is no other person I would rather have on my side than Ashley!

Ashley Leader knows her stuff. And when it comes to navigating the ins-and-outs of real estate, there is no one else I would rather talk to. I recently needed help and advice about a business opportunity in St. Joseph County, one that involved juggling the purchase of several different parcels of land. Ashley answered my questions and provided solid guidance which I am still using, as the project is still unfolding. When the deals are closed, I want Ashley by my side. And when it comes time to sell the properties, the only agent I will work with is Ashley Leader. You would be wise to do the same.

Diane and Kim were absolutely outstanding to work with in the purchase of our home. Moving from out of state, we were confident in having Diane and Kim in our corner throughout the entire process. They were always quick to answers any questions that we had, and they were incredibly flexible and encouraging throughout the entire process. We are so thankful that we had the privilege to get to know them and purchase our home with their help!

Kim Yates Powell is an amazing realtor who knows the area so well. She is incredibly knowledgeable in the real estate business and always listens to her clients. She quickly earned our complete trust with her patient and friendly demeanor while simultaneously providing so many options for us to choose from. She provides excellent guidance to potential buyers, yet never seems pushy or overbearing. We move regularly for work and wish every city had someone as helpful and trustworthy as Kim. If you are reading this review and unsure of who to pick, you can’t go wrong with Kim

Melissa VanOrt and her team at Inspired Homes were wonderful to work with. Melissa truly cares so much about her clients and went above and beyond as a realtor. Melissa made the whole process easy and helped every step of the way. I appreciate her hard work and dedication. She won't disappoint!

Being a first time home seller, I didn't know what to expect. Mellissa VanOrt did a great job of keeping me up to date with everything that needed to be done during the process. She was always quick to return phone calls and emails and always had answers to my questions. My house needed many updates and repairs. Melissa had tons of resources of people who could accomplish those repair tasks in order to sell my house. Plus, every person she recommended did a great job and they were beyond reasonable in what they charged. Melissa made this a very easy, stress free first time experience for me.

Diane Bennett is one of the most amazing human beings I have ever met, not to mention realtor. She brought not only the professionalism and expertise that my wife and I needed as we navigated the search for our first home, but Diane also served as a mediator and counselor. When things were stressful, Diane was always there by our side. There were two occasions where our complicated schedules conflicted with Diane's and in both cases, Diane had Kim and Jill assist, and both of them were amazing as well. I can not speak highly enough of the work that Diane and her team do!

Kyra was great to work with! We had a couple set-backs along the way, but Kyra never gave up on us! She was quick to answer questions, easy to talk to, and found us the perfect starter home. I would recommend Kyra and Inspired Homes to anyone who is hoping for a smooth home buying experience. My Fiancée and I could not be happier with our home-buying experience!

Jill Kaps VanBruaene is an absolute lifesaver! We were first time home buyers, and Jill walked us through every step of the process beautifully while truly only having our families best interest at heart! She went above and beyond to ensure our closing was completed on time, allowing us time to move and set up our home prior to the Thanksgiving Day weekend! She handled everything behind the scenes, from finding a reliable handyman to coordinating repairs and providing regular updates. She was always one step ahead, providing us with crucial information at times even before our loan officers had a chance! Her exceptional communication and responsiveness made the entire process seamless and worry-free. We cannot thank her enough for her dedication, guidance, and hard work. If you're looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients, Jill is the one to choose!

Kyra was very accommodating! My questions were answered and communicated and helpful guidance was given every step of the way. The entire process was very transparent.

Very thankful for all the help with something I knew very little about. Kyra and Melanie did a great job...

Working with Kyra Hammett was a wonderful experience. She moved mountains to get the sale to the finish. She was working with the person we were buying the home from and also sold our home in just one day. Kyra turned a stressful situation into a positive experience. She is a very kind and thoughtful person and I would recommend her to anyone I know that is selling or looking for a new home.

Ashley and Diane have been great for me and my family. We were very particular on the home we wanted and Ashley was very patient with us and did not pressure us into anything we did not want. With the help of Inspired homes we have found our perfect forever home for our growing family!

We have used Ashley for two separate transactions now and both times went as smoothly as your could imagine. Her guidance on both buying and listing was invaluable to us!

I have worked with Jill Kaps recently, and in all honesty, I don’t have any negative thoughts or concerns about her. She has been as helpful as I wished for, and I am looking to work with her again for sure. Thank you, Jill.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ashley Leader to sell my grandmother’s home, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. From start to finish, she handled everything with professionalism, compassion, and a deep understanding of how personal this sale was for my family. Ashely was incredibly knowledgeable about the market and gave me clear, honest guidance every step of the way. She was always available to answer questions, handled all the details seamlessly, and worked hard to ensure I got a great result. Most importantly, she treated my grandmother’s home with the respect and care it deserved. I truly felt like I had someone in our corner who cared about more than just the sale. If you're looking for a realtor who is both highly skilled and genuinely kind, we highly recommend Ashley .

My husband and I worked with Kim Powell to sell our home. She was very professional and easily handled all questions that came up during the sales and inspection process. She was confident and knowledgeable and very even keel. One of my favorite things about Inspired Homes was that I felt the entire team was working together to market my home. They did an open house for all of the realtors in the office which provided valuable feedback on the home and its price. It also allowed them to view our home for potential clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Kim or anyone at Inspired Homes in the future!

Ashley Leader and her team at Inspired Homes were the most wonderful to work with! Ashley made it such an easy transition to sell. She told us everything that needed to be done and she even helped make sure everything was the way that looked the most aesthetically pleasing! I will be recommending her to anybody that is in need of a realtor! Thank you Ashley and all your coworkers for all that you did for us during this time!

Linda Demel is so incredible to work with! She helped my wife and I achieve The American Dream of purchasing our first home. She is highly skilled in her field, and was an invaluable asset to us throughout the process! Her patience with us as new homeowners, paired with her eye for detail, work ethic, and years of industry experience are exactly what I look for in a real estate representative. Whether you are looking to buy your first home, or are an experienced homeowner looking to make a change, I highly recommend working with Linda and her team!

Wonderful people to work with. Very easy, no hassel, above and beyond.

ASHLEY LEADER is absolutely phenomenal! In an otherwise crazy seller's market, we were able to purchase our first home with ease because Ashley went the extra mile. She stayed in touch with us constantly throughout the process no matter the time of day. She always found time for us. We were completely inexperienced and new to the home-buying process. We had so many questions and often requested suggestions/advice. Ashley was always quick to respond with helpful tips and contacts. Then she'd follow up to ensure everything was satisfactory. What otherwise would or should have been overwhelming to us given the market, seemed almost way too easy thanks to her guidance and coaching along the way. If you're looking for an experienced, extremely knowledgeable, and professional realtor who will treat you like family - work with Ashley Leader! From search until close and beyond . . . she'll be your coach and cheerleader every step of the way. THANK YOU ASHLEY!!!

We sold our home in Granger through the fabulous work of Kim Powell. At every step of the way, her gracious and passionate commitment to excellence helped us navigate the challenges in selling a home. I would heartily recommend Inspired Homes to anyone looking to sell their home! Thank you Kim!

Kim Powell did an outstanding job when selling our home. She was always prepared, very professional, highly knowledgeable, and quick to answer questions. Kim's warm and gracious approach was always appreciated.

I did not even know real estate agencies could be this helpful!  I will recommend them again and again and again!

We can't say enough about Lea and Inspired in general. Lea has helped us with multiple homes, both buying and selling. She has become a beloved friend to us as well. She is always eager to help, knowledgeable, honest, the list goes on and on. She always goes above and beyond. We have recommended her to multiple friends and they all say the same things about her. Always HIGHLY recommended!!

My agent Ashley and the owner Diane came to my home after they looked at it told me that I would get multiple offers and that I might even be into a bidding war they sold my house in 3 days there was a bidding war and I had multiple offers it was the best most pleasant experience I've ever had from staging the home they were very professional through the whole process and I recommend them highly above anyone else. After my husband passed in July everything went so quickly and was able to get even more money than they had listed it for these people are the best!

I needed to sell my home very quickly my husband had passed away and I needed to get back home to Texas where my family is. The owner Diane and Ashley came to my home to evaluate and there was two things they told me after looking at my home that it would probably sell quick and that I could be getting into a bidding war I was astonished after they put it up for sale it sold so quickly with multiple offers and there was a bidding war and I am so grateful they came in and staged my home made it look beautiful and it went so quick I am already back in Texas with my family. Ashley was the most professional real estate agent I've ever met gave me suggestions help me through the entire process and made it very easy for me. There is not enough good things that I can say about this sale other than they took a load and stress off of me and made it happen and I thank them with all my heart.

We met Ashley during a service project. She cares for people in a genuine way. When we decided to relocate to be closer to family, Ashley was the first person who came to mind to be our realtor. We knew that she would be knowledgeable, efficient and diligent with all the necessary details to sell our home. Timing was an important factor since we were relocating to another state. Ashley strategically placed our house on the market so that we could close on the date that we needed. Each step of the process we were kept updated. Our house had an offer the day after a viewing which we accepted. We had total trust in Ashley because of her integrity. She was available when we had questions. We can say Ashley is highly qualified to sell your home! We will miss you Ashley!

2023. Selling our house was very emotional for my wife. We have lived there since we were married. Raised our children there. It was our dream home we designed and built together. Not surprisingly, it was always a challenge to get her involved in getting the house ready to sell. Ashley was patient and understanding with us. I was able to work with Ashley easily even though my wife made it challenging for her to work with us. In addition to her patience, Ashley was certainly knowledgeable in her field. I certainly was appreciative of her help and assistance.

Diane Bennett and her team at Inspired Homes were an absolute joy to work with. All our questions were answered quickly, with professionalism, and kindness. The suggestions that Diane gave us regarding home preparation and listing price were spot on. She connected us with a home organizer who helped us sort, purge, and pack so that we were ready for a quick sale. We were blessed to work with Inspired Homes and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Diane and her team did an awesome job marketing and selling our home in under a week and above listing price!
Every aspect of the teams help was key to such success including walking us through prep, staging, scheduling showings and reviewing offers. I couldn’t speak more highly of these ladies and the stellar job they did for us!
Many thanks Diane

We weren't your typical client.. we had already negotiated with the owner on a home that wasn't for sale on the open market, but we needed help with closing. There wasn't going to be a commission on this sale, but Ashley was more than happy to provide that assistance for a very reasonable fee and closing went down as smooth as a hot chocolate after a day on the slopes. Thank you, Ashley!

We can't speak highly enough about Ashley Leader and the Inspired Homes team! Ashley's winning combination of professionalism and personal attention transformed our home-selling journey into an absolute pleasure. From the get-go, Inspired Homes' communication was seamless, and their commitment to excellence shone through. Ashley's genuine care for her clients and unwavering dedication turned what could have been a stressful process into a remarkably positive experience. If you're looking for a real estate partner who goes above and beyond, Ashley and Inspired Homes are the ones to trust. Highly recommended for a smooth, enjoyable, and top-notch real estate journey!

Our home buying experience began 2 1/2 yrs ago. Ashley has walked with us thru entire process. We are grateful for her willingness to help, availability and experience. God has answered our prayers with exactly we were looking for. Thanks So Much Ashley!

We had an incredible experience working with Diane Bennett and her team. They were supportive, attentive, and helped us find the perfect home for our family. Diane was masterful navigating the competitive real estate market, and graciously helped us understand the process of buying a home for the first time. We also appreciated all her connections in the community. We will be recommending Inspired Homes to all our friends and family!

I can't say enough thanks to Diane Bennett, Melanie and all the other Inspired team members that helped us sell and close on my sister's condo. You took on many extra responsibilities for me as I live out of town two hours away. Your service was always quick, responsive and done with kindness. I'd highly recommend Diane and Inspired Homes to anyone wanting to sell or buy a home. They were a blessing to me.

Jill was fabulous to work with, going above and beyond to get me into my first home.

Ashley leader has helped me with multiple transactions throughout the years and this year she had the toughest one yet. We had a challenging commercial sale that really put all of her skills to the test. We are very thankful for all of her hard work and perseverance. The joy of this sale is two fold for the building will now bring much needed help to our community. Yayy!!! Thank you

Wonderful service from Ashley Leader who guided us through the process of purchasing our home with ease and professionalism. We were searching for a home that our family could live in long-term and will remember our experience fondly. Thank you, Ashley!

Having known Kyra for many years, I actually got the opportunity to experience a fabulous part-time position at Inspired Homes as a receptionist in 2023. The atmosphere there was of a Christian approach was just welcoming to my heart. When it came time to move out of the area, I asked Kyra if she would please help me sell my home as it would be my privilege to have her assist me in this process. Kyra went above and beyond my expectations. She held my hand through the whole process. She kept me calm and answered all of my questions. She was just a lifeline, a phone call away anytime I needed her. I would truly recommend that you reach out to Kyra if you have any housing needs. Kyra is very compassionate and caring and she will guide you in all of the right ways. She has a very trustworthy soul. Thank you for your professional service.

Kyra has a heart of service, which serves her clients extremely well in this business. I am a longtime agent in another state, and use Kyra as my agent for my Indiana investments. I've been impressed with her responsiveness, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile for her clients. She provides a tremendous amount of value, and I know that I can trust her completely to handle all of my needs from a distance. She handles all issues and needs willingly as they come up, and keeps me informed of all relevant news. Since she has lived there for decades, she has insider knowledge of neighborhoods that is so helpful to have to be able to make solid decisions. I highly recommend her for your real estate needs.

We were so happy with the Inspired Homes team. We bought our first home thanks to the help of Melissa VanOrt and Inspired Homes! Melissa was attentive to all of our questions and if she didn’t have an answer for us she was quick to find out the answer. We had an exceptional experience and can’t thank Melissa and Inspired homes enough!

Inspired Homes was wonderful and Jill was awesome! She is dedicated to her clients, working hard for them constantly. We were so happy to find our first home with Inspired Homes, and were blessed to have Jill in our corner!

We recently sold our home of 23 years through Kim Powell at Inspired Homes. We absolutely love them! From the minute we contacted Kim, it was like talking to your best friend. She was there for us whenever we had a question or concern, and believe me, we had many. After all, it had been over 20 years since we sold a home. She staged our home, offered us her handyman to help with small items, and actually sold our home in just 5 days. I couldn't be more happy or impressed with both Kim and Inspired Homes. I would recommend them to everyone!! Kim is the very BEST.

Abby was my saving grace at the time of my search. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to buy a house or rent a house. I reached out to her to see if there anything was available and this girl was on top of it. Right away was searching for me. She found my rental home because of her consistency, great communication and even went above and beyond for me to get the house. Abby, would be diffidently someone that I use as my realtor to buy a house with or rent a house. Abby, is very very good at her job! I highly recommend anyone to use her for future buys or sells! Thank you Abby! 😊

My agent, Kyra, was friendly, helpful, and answered all of my questions about my property, the local market, and all of my general real estate questions. The whole process of selling my property was smooth, quick, and easy. And my money was wired to me the following day.

"I have been working with Ashley and she has been amazing!! Super patient and easy to communicate with. Highly highly recommend them for your next home purchase."

Working with Diane Bennett and her team was a wonderful experience. The inspired team was well versed in a total turnkey approach helping with home repairs, selling home goods, assisting in moving to a new state.

One house and we were sold! Linda Demel knew just what our family needed. We saw one house and knew it was right for us. She is a great and faithful friend as well as a professional and caring realtor. Thank you Linda!

i love working with the entire team. They are all professional and have the highest possible integrity.

Inspired is fantastic! I bought and sold my first home through them, and I was deeply impressed by their professionalism. They helped with staging (for free!) and took fabulous pictures. My realtor, Linda, helped me navigate a tricky multi-bid offer situation, and she was incredibly kind and patient, even though I was often anxious. I have recommended them before, and I would recommend again!

Inspired has helped us sell and buy 3 homes, in Michigan and Indiana. They are the best! I used Kim Powell in Indiana and Ashley Leader in Michigan and both did a wonderful job. They were informative, attentive, timely, and always available to help when needed. If I forgot to do something, they made sure it was done. Audrey did a wonderful job staging the homes as well. You all make buying and selling a home a much better process. Great job and I highly recommend them!

Inspired sold a condo for us after a parent died. They handled that as a project that the entire team was aware of and plugged into tasks. They were helpful with the paperwork, they interacted with the HOA, about every 3 days I was contacted with follow up, updates, clarifications, feedback. They not only took the listing, but "worked it" via social media, and contacting others in their industry that they knew would like the specs of the condo. We had easily 25 showings in the first many days, their reach was fantastic, and they had smart follow up. I would strongly recommend this team.

Kim Powell is amazing, astonishing, upfront, patient, and honest, which makes her a great agent to work with. She went above and beyond to help us find our dream home, and we are grateful beyond words.

She is fantastic! Knowledgeable, creative, supportive, truthful, and, above all, kind. We have purchased several homes with Kim both for our personal home and as investments, and all experiences were great. She was awesome from beginning to end, and we will never use another agent or broker. We recommend her to anyone we know who is buying it selling a home.

Ashley Leader is amazing! She goes above and beyond your stereotypical realtor. Her compassion and work ethic don’t stop when the contract is signed . She was patient and understanding as we searched for our new home and once we found the one we wanted she walked us through everything. Finding her and listening to her guidance from the get go made our home buying experience a pleasant experience. We are in our dream home and couldn’t be happier and We are eternally grateful for her guidance and compassion and hard work! If it is buying , selling or anything in reference to your home , Ashley is the best!

Great staff, Made sure all questions were answered and very accommodating! What an amazing team, would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling, they will get the job done for you! Very blessed to have them sell my home

From the very beginning, Ashley was very professional and responsive. She was dedicated and worked very hard to find us our perfect home. Her time, her energy, and her encouragement helped lead us into the right path for our family. We thank God for this experience.2019

Thankful for Dale and the team at Inspired homes! Dale helped us find the perfect house and the team worked well together to make the process smooth and painless. Great realtor - great team! A+

Ashley was amazing! She helped me know what needed done to sell my home. She helped stage the home. From listing to a signed agreement was 3 days! Ashley will get your house sold and make it as easy as possible. I highly recommend her and her entire team!

Ashley was very helpful throughout the entire home buying process. When buying our first home, she made what we imagined would be an extremely stressful and difficult process, very easy and intuitive.

Linda Demel was fantastic in helping me buying my first condo! She patiently showed me various properties until I found the right one, she answered my questions, and she walked with me through the different steps involved in the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a new home.

I would highly recommend Ashley. She was easy to contact, and quick to respond to emails and texts. She gave great recommendations and in the end, our house sold quickly and we made out much better than we expected!

Nothing but excellent service and professionalism when it came to Kim Powell. Kim was sincere and helpful from beginning to end in our buying and selling experience. She was very flexible with her time, and her availability when we requested to visit the properties was awesome. She gave us her honest view, which helped making a life changing decision less stressful. We would have been lost without her. Thank you, Kim for everything you did for us!

Ashley was a joy to work with. She puts everything into her job and goes to bat for her clients. Her positive attitude is contagious and her negotiating skills are spot on. We would highly recommend Ashley Leader if you plan on buying or selling your home.

Professional, ethical with strong values.

Ashley was a blessing for us. Previously we had listed with a different realtor for over 6 months with no results. After signing with Ashley, due to her skill, professionalism and sincerity, we received multiple offers within a month.

I recently closed on my very first home. Kim and the Inspired Team came highly recommended and they did not disappoint. I was a first time homeowner with zero knowledge or experience in the home buying process. Kim walked me through the entire process and introduced me to all the right people to make the experience nearly hassle free. From the home inspector (Scott Bennett @ WIN) to the lender (Alan Butt @ Ruoff) I always felt I was in excellent hands. If you are considering buying or selling a home don't look to anyone else. Call the Inspired Team, they are all about YOU!

Ashley is a blessing and made our buying experience flawless. No surprises and a pleasure to work with. She helped us find a perfect starter home. We were very busy at work and could not tour the home in person so she recorded a video walk through and got it to us immediately. We probably would have lost the home if she hadn’t done the video since it allowed us to be comfortable making an offer so quickly without even physically touring the home. Thanks Ashley!

We had a great experience working with Diane Bennet in selling our home. She worked hard and was imaginative in her marketing and accessible and responsive to our questions!

Diane and her team @homesbyInspiRED are by far the best in the business - caring for their client long past the sale and/or purchase of your home. If you're looking for a realtor that knows her business and is all about you - contact Diane!

My now husband and I purchased our first home in the spring of 2015! With a soon expiring apartment lease, which only seemed to be increasing in price, it was time to start looking for a home, and quick! Being total newbies to home buying, we reached out to Kim Powell with the inspired team and she couldn’t have made the process go any smoother! Prior to starting, it seemed as if we had only heard horror stories about purchasing a first house and were anxious that something would fall through or not go as planned. Throughout the entire process we felt as if our wishes and concerns were heard, questions were answered, and we never once felt pressured into anything. She was clearly on OUR team! Within 2 weeks the offer on our favorite house was accepted and we were home owners! Ever since our experience we’ve said many times over that when it’s time to move onto the next house we will without a doubt or question be using the inspired team!!!!!

I had the delightful pleasure of working with Diane and Kim in the sale of my home in South Bend. While I was 'sold' on the concept of working with a team to get the job done, I came to realize that I was definitely an integral member of t h e TEAM as well. I listened to and followed their expert advise, including staging of my home. It sold in 5 weeks!!! I had listed it with another realtor prior to Inspired...and it sat on the market without an offer for about 8 months. My advice to others: Get with Inspired and follow their advice!

Linda and her team were a great help with finding my Fiancé and I our first home. Linda was quick to get us in and look at houses and helped us look out for stuff that we would not have thought of when looking at homes. She is all about her clients and I would recommend anyone to work with her and her team at Inspired Homes!

I was the mortgage lender assisting my clients on the purchase of their new home with Inspired Homes. I really appreciated the team and Melanie for their expediency in getting any documents needed to me! Makes the process smooth! They both were very pleasant to work with!

My husband and I are working with Linda on purchasing our first home, and I highly recommend working with her! Linda is highly skilled in her field. Her attention to detail, industry experience, and sales experience are exactly what I look for in a realtor. Whether you are a first time buyer or experienced homeowner, I highly recommend working with Linda and her team.

We have worked with Linda on purchasing two homes and selling one. She is everything you would want in a real estate agent: professional, polite, attentive, available, experienced, punctual, and a great communicator. She is incredibly easy to work with and will always have your best interest at heart. I would absolutely recommend Linda or anyone from the Inspired Homes team.

Kimberlee Powell was referred to me from a friend. I had so much fun working with her. She always responded quickly by text/email when I had a question. She is very prompt and organized, and went above and beyond to make me win my offer. She even checked in on me after I moved in and said if I needed any additional resources she would send me information. She has a passion for what she does and a kind spirit.

We’ve sold two homes with the help of Linda Demel. I would challenge anyone to introduce me to a realtor that brings the level of professionalism, vision and integrity that Linda exhibits. I know her success is due in part to the administrative work Melanie takes care of so Linda can focus on her clients. Thanks for all your help.

I have worked with Linda Demel on several transactions throughout the years. Linda has always been so patient in the process and very knowledgeable in navigating issues from beginning to end! I send all my family and friends to her as she will get the job done in a caring and professional manner. Even after our transaction is complete Linda will follow up to be sure you are happy!

We worked with Kim Powell and had the best experience! She was so patient when we got overwhelmed and didn’t give up until we were able to find a home in this crazy market! We relocated from Georgia so we appreciated her flexibility with showings. We highly recommend working with her.

When looking to purchase or sell your home, Look no further than Inspired Homes. Not your average brokerage, built on faith values, with an entire team prepared and experienced to service your every need. I have had experience as a mortgage lender serving mutual clients with Kim Powell, but also neighbored to numerous homes that praise Inspired Homes, along with interactions with others from the Inspired team - Highly recommend.

Linda Demel is FANTASTIC! Genuine, honest and so patient! My mom sold her home of 46 years and Linda was with her every step of the way and also helped to find her the perfect little doll house for her to move to. Grateful to have met Linda and would HIGHLY recommend her! Five Star experience with Inspired Homes and Linda Demel!

We felt very supported and loved during the whole home buying and selling process. We are grateful to Inspired Homes team for making what is often a extremely stressful situation, much easier. I highly recommend them! Thank you!

Purchased a home with Linda Demel. She walked me through the process and basically held my hand for every decision during a stressful time. I have lost track of how many homes we viewed together and how many offers were considered before we made it to closing. Everything she did was great, reducing my stress in very uncertain times. She went above and beyond help me get the house I moved my family into. I couldn’t have made it through without her expertise and kindness!! Whenever I called to talk to Melanie in the office, she was able to find an answer to my question, print something I needed, or set up everything that Linda And I requested to finalize the purchase. She is such an asset to the team!! Thank you all!!

I have been thoroughly impressed by the professionalism, kindness and knowledge that the team have in helping families like mine buy and sell their homes. We could not be happier with all the work Inspired and Melanie do in helping families in our area.

Kim was born to make people feel comfortable and at ease, even during a very complicated and emotional situation like selling a beloved home of 18 years. She took care of us from start to finish, answering questions and making things easy for us along the way. We are very grateful for her heart for serving her clients. I would recommend her to anyone who is thinking of buying or selling their home.

I was a first time home buyer and I had an amazing experience with Inspired Homes. My agent was wonderful he took time to answer all my questions and walked me through the whole process. I will recommend Inspired Home to everyone. They also gave me the sweetest Christmas ornament with my new house address! Wonderful company and wonderful staff!!

The Inspired Team were incredible during the process of my wife and I buying our first home. We are so happy with their service & their staff. They are an amazing group of people & realtors!

Diane, and her team, are exceptional in the following ways: 1) An active listener who ascertains the needs and wants of the clients; 2) A compassionate agent who values the clients and their families; and 3) An hyper thorough in completing tasks and following through with thoughtful communication.

I have worked with other real estate agents who are “smooth talkers,” looking to make the quick buck, but Diane is the antithesis; instead, she exemplgies genuine and committed and professional qualities. Even though we neither sold or bought a house as we decided to stay in our current home, she nonetheless took us on as a seller and as a buyer, working diligently even on the weekends and evening hours. I was happy that my family decided to stay in our current home, but if I ever decided to relocate, Diane would be the only choice for my family as I know she would do right by us.

We love Inspired Homes! Amazing to work with in every way! We would highly recommend to anyone and everyone! Buying a house is stressful but they made the process so much easier. Couldn't have been happier with their services.

We recently used Inspired Homes to purchase a new house and sell our old one. She was fabulous to work with as was the rest of her team who helped us out. I highly recommend the Inspired team if you are looking to either buy or sell a house.

Amazing Company that WORKS for you!!! Outstanding group of people!!!

Great people here who are willing to help find you a new home!

Diane is amazing! Highly recommend working with her!

Diane and her team are trustworthy, honest and intentional and in their work!

Our experience working with Linda was great! Super helpful and friendly staff!!

Diane was terrific and made the entire home buying process easy and fun!

One of the best realtors in the area! Diane and her team are incredible, experienced and passionate. You will not regret your decision to go with them!

I did a team training for Inspired a few weeks ago. What a thoughtful bunch of people! I would recommend them for anyone buying or selling a home in the South Bend/ Michiana area!

We’ve worked with Kim Powell twice now in the Elkhart area and cannot recommend her enough!

The team is dedicated and unified behind a goal of providing customer service which is above reproach. A truly exceptional experience is all that can be expected from the faith based team which will support you through your home sale or search. Thank you Dianne for all your hard work.

Kim was an amazing buyer's agent - patient, kind, knowledgeable, and so willing to share her detailed knowledge of the South Bend/Michiana area. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her, and she made our buying process seamless. Her entire office worked with her to provide all that we needed in a timely manner. We can't recommend her highly enough!

Kim worked diligently to be sure the buying/selling transaction went off without a hitch. She was considerate of our time, helped with the inspections and with the results. She is very personable and very professional at the same time. I highly recommend Kim Powell to anyone looking to work with a great realtor

I recently purchased a home. Kim was my amazing agent. I am an older home buyer with many questions and concerns through this modern day process. She was so understanding and kind. I bought my house and I thank Kim for being there. It is perfect for me and she knew that.

Kim was excellent to work with, and we would do so again! Early on in the sales process, she made recommendations in regards to improving our home so that we were market-ready. She was responsive to our needs while balancing the reality of the market. She was honest, transparent, and a true partner in the process.

I truly believe my husband and I wouldn't have made it through the home buying process without  guidance. She was extremely responsive and always kept our best interest at heart through the house shopping phase until contract closing. She's the best out there!

My wife and I found our dream home in Granger, IN, which we were only able to acquire because of Kim's knowledge and expertise. We had a very difficult transaction laden with hurdles to overcome based on the condition of the property and Kim and team did a great job helping all parties whether the storm and close on the deal. She was always available day or night to handle situations as they arose and provided the personal touch which really kept everyone at ease. I highly recommend her services for your home buying endeavors.

We recently completed our fifth transaction with Kim. She is always helpful, fair and honest. She has a heart for serving and helping people and it shows in her work. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thanks, Kim!

Kim was absolutely awesome to work with. She took everything we said into consideration and found us the best house we could have asked for. She still helps out with small stuff even after closing on our new house. It is hard to find people like her that go above and beyond even if there is no benefit to her.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kim. Kim and her team were amazing in selling my home in record time! She was knowledgeable, professional, and a great communicator. I highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

Kim is simply the best agent I’ve ever worked with. If you want quality service from an experienced agent who always work in your best interest, Kim is your woman! She is extremely professional, listened to my wants and needs in a home, and helped me find the perfect home for my family and I. Not only did Kim find me a home to live in she also sold a previous home for me before. And that process went smoothly also. She offer services above and beyond and I would highly recommend her!!

I was fortunate to stumble across Kim to be my realtor. She is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and makes the home buying experience thoroughly enjoyable. I was impressed with Kim and how available she made herself throughout my buying process, even though I knew she had a busy schedule. Her knowledge is at an expert level, and she has the ability to work with the seller and get the most out of them according to inspection results. Kim never pressured me into anything I didn't absolutely love, and was extremely helpful in pointing out any negative aspects of properties that could/would have made my home owning experience less enjoyable or that could have caused me strife throughout the life of the home. I am extremely grateful I got to know Kim. She really makes you feel like not only a client, but a friend. If you're in the market, contact Kim!!

We sold a home 7 years ago with Kim and again this past year. She did a fabulous job and I would recommend her again. She was available when needed, had paperwork ready on time, called to remind me of things, helped with the staging of the home and helped with negotiations and getting the most money for each home.

Ashley is a very sincere and compassionate professional. I would highly recommend her and the entire Inspire Team! Her knowledge help guide me through a difficult transaction that we completed to everyone's satisfaction.

Ashley was great!!! She was very patient and helpful in answering questions if we didn’t understand. My mother in law was moving from her condo and Ashley took the initiative in helping and suggesting how the house should be staged, using some of her own items to help make the place look great for the open house. She also kept us up to date with things that were happening after an offer was made. Thanks for everything Ashley!!!

Extremely helpful added with the stagers and photographer we had an offer the first day on the market! From listing to closing to even checking on me in a different state in my new home Ashley was fantastic.

Working with Ashley was a pleasure. Her care and responsiveness were excellent. Her marketing strategies and networking were most impressive, I sold my home on the first showing eliminating a potentially long process. She made sure the buyer was financially qualified before setting up the first showing. Ashley responded immediately to questions, she also used DocuSign, providing the secure and fast execution of documentation. The journey with Ashley was compassionate and professional. Not only do I have a realtor I will use again but I gained a lifelong friend.

"Linda Demel has been a trusted agent of mine for years. I recommend her to anyone searching for a kind, hardworking, trustworthy agent. Melanie is her admin and is a total rockstar. Transparent and timely communication at all times. Both of these ladies made our experiences a smooth process, both when it was a buyer’s market and a seller’s market over the years. We adore how they fought for our best! " 

"Inspired Homes is an amazing and honest company! While I have never bought or sold a home through them yet, I have spoken with one of the team members, Trina, multiple times for advice about home buying. Trust and integrity are important characteristics for realtor companies and I would trust any team member at Inspired Homes to be open and honest with me and to work to help me in the home buying process!"

Phenomenal to work with. She keeps the best interest of her clients in mind throughout the process, and she works hard to make the home buying/selling experience smooth. I highly recommend using Inspired Homes to anyone looking to buy or sell! 

"My family could not have been happier with our experience with Inspired Homes.  I would definitely recommend  Inspired Homes to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. " 

"I've gotten to know the majority of the team at Inspired homes over the last year and can say that their team is wonderful all across the board! I would recommend them to anyone! They're proactive, response, and knowledgeable about their field of work. They are definitely a partner of mine for life! :)"
