After absorbing themselves in the nitty-gritty of Indianapolis real estate, Max Moore & Tyler Lingle, Co-Founders of Roots Realty Co., realized a need in the marketplace.

As real estate investors & entrepreneurs (Max owned a GNC franchise, Tyler was renting out rentals in Indy at the time), they saw the need for a brokerage team that aligned wealth-building goals with real estate services. The average real estate agent was typically not knowledgeable on investment strategy nor how to drive ROI in a property.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
You cannot build wealth without planting roots first. Planting roots means immersing yourself in your relationships & community. It means breaking into homeownership and building equity.
You cannot build wealth without planting roots first. Planting roots means immersing yourself in your relationships & community. It means breaking into homeownership and building equity.
To do that leads into building long-term wealth: through long-term equity gain or multiplying that first home into other investments.
