What Really Sets Him Apart Is That He Was Never Afraid To Tell Us Not To Buy A House If He Didn’t Think It Was The Right Fit, Which Truly Shows That He Cares About His Clients’ Satisfaction...
We Had An Excellent Experience Working With Mitch. This Is The Second Home I’ve Purchased With Him, And I’ve Also Referred Him To My Parents, Who Used Him To Buy Their Home As Well.
He Helped Us Find The Right Location And The Right Builder, And Was Outstanding At Helping Us Clearly Define Our Wants And Needs. What Really Sets Him Apart Is That He Was Never Afraid To Tell Us Not To Buy A House If He Didn’t Think It Was The Right Fit, Which Truly Shows That He Cares About His Clients’ Satisfaction And Not Just The Commission.
His Attention To Detail Is Exceptional—He Caught Several Mistakes The Builder Missed That Would Have Resulted In Improper Flooring Installation And Hvac Issues That Could Have Gone Unnoticed. We Felt Confident And Well-Represented Throughout The Entire Process. I Would 100% Recommend Him To Anyone Looking To Buy A Home.
Mitch helped us find our new home, working tirelessly on our behalf. He coached us through the home search and buying process, and brought us to a successful close when we found our new home. He absolutely worked in our best interest, even encouraging us to not overspend. He even helped us through out the whole process and helping us to pinpoint to the minute issues so that the builder could resolve it. Mitch’s knowledge of the real estate market, his negotiating expertise, and his integrity in putting our best interest as buyers ahead of his own really set him apart as a standout agent. We would confidently recommend him to friends, family or anyone else seeking a realtor.
Most important, As we were out of state buyers, and building a new home he went beyond his duty by visiting frequently to the house taking photos and finding issues and initiating fixes.
I went with Mitch because my entire family recommended him when we made the move from another state. That says a lot!
Mitch was extremely helpful with so much experience, knowledge and resources to help me through the process. I initially came to him not knowing exactly what I wanted in a home but he knew what questions to ask to help narrow down exactly what I was looking for.
I even flip flopped on what I was looking for a few different times but that didn't seem to matter to Mitch as long as I was happy in the end.
Once I found the condo home that was right for me, we ran into some obstacles when trying to find out about the HOA because the sale was through an estate. As Mitch informed me, this is VERY important because if an HOA is run poorly, you could be hit with big unexpected costs in the future. Anyhow, Mitch went out of his way to track down the info I needed to make sure everything was being run correctly.
When the time comes to sell my home, I'm going with Mitch!
My husband and I recently worked with Mitch Rolsky on the purchase of our current home. We greatly appreciated his:
a) extensive knowledge through his many years of experience. This was invaluable to us not only when it came to the housing market but also during the inspection process.
b) work-ethic. He is not your average realtor who doesn't work past normal working hours. He is always available, and really cares about putting in the time to achieve results. We really appreciated this as the market/area we were looking in was very hot and competitive.
Overall Mitch is a realtor that cares deeply about his clients, and in an industry where that is hard to come by, we have been very gratful to have Mitch as our realtor!
We are new to the greater Indianapolis area, having moved here from out of state. After a detailed online search, we identified Mitch Rolsky based upon his high-quality website. We contacted him via email and were immediately impressed with his follow-up.
As our plans moved forward, we worked with Mitch throughout the process. Mitch Rolsky excels in the following key attributes: responsiveness to client goals, budget and timeline; knowledge of the area and housing market; top-quality referrals; and attention to detail in all stages of offer, acceptance and closing.
We have already shared our high regard for Mitch with family members and our new neighbors and associates. We would be delighted to work with Mitch Rolsky again and offer our highest recommendation for his service and professionalism.

About Mitch
Mitch leverages his local expertise, combined with his meaningful business and life experiences, and decades of professional leadership and growth in the construction and technology industries to contribute to his success as one of Greater Indy's Top REALTORs.
Mitch is committed to helping change the lives of his clients as they start their next chapter, by making it easier, more enjoyable and more profitable for his clients that design, build, buy, and sell their home, condo, townhouse or investment property!
If you're like most home buyers, you want to pay the least amount of money for a property. And, what a property is worth in terms of Market Value, and what it's worth to you as the buyer, could be two very different amounts!
While only the Buyer can decide what it's worth to them, real estate professionals doing an Appraisal or a Market Analysis are sharing their personal opinions on the Market Value at that point in time. Real estate Market Values though are not like a ten-dollar bill that is worth $10 regardless of if it’s crisp and brand new, or if it’s twenty years old, dirty and torn. Neither the condition of the bill in your hand as the buyer, the condition of other ten-dollar bills, nor the location of where you are holding that ten-dollar bill will change its value! If the Market Value of real estate was also this precise and exact, just like the value of a ten-dollar bill, then there would frankly be no need for real estate agents!
Accurately evaluating the value of a house, townhouse, or condominium is a complex calculation that leverages years of experience and expertise like Mitch has, as one of the Top REALTOR's in the Greater Indy area! So let's start at the very beginning - with the RIGHT price! And the best way to find the RIGHT price is to ask Mitch.
By definition a property is worth what a ready willing an able Buyer will pay for the property. That can be and often is an amount that's greater then a bank will accept based on the lender's Appraisal. While Appraisals are considered more objective and authoritative because the appraiser has no stake in the sale, the reality is that even though Appraisers are trained to be objective and unbiased, their methodology is inherently conservative. This often leads to lower valuations especially in fast-rising markets! Appraisers rely on historical, closed-sale data (data-driven) rather than the current or potential future market values, and they will usually err on the side of caution to avoid provided what's viewed as an inflated or risky valuations!
A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is an indication of the property’s value based on a detailed and adjusted analysis of the 4-6 most relevant and similar properties that have recently sold in your development and/or nearby.
A good CMA should also increase or decrease the value based on the current market conditions including, interest rates, and the supply and demand at that moment in time. Most real estate agents will perform a CMA before listing a home for sale and great Buyer’s Agents will also complete a CMA when working for a buyer who is considering submitting an offer on a property.

An Appraisal
State-licensed appraisers will walk through a property and write an official appraisal report. While appraisals offer a little protection for buyers regarding the value of a property, the customer for the appraiser is the mortgage lender not the buyers. Banks typically require appraisals when refinancing your home, or getting a mortgage for a new home, to minimize the lender’s risk by making sure the bank is loaning no more than what the property could be resold for if the buyer was unable to repay their mortgage loan.
Instant Online Value Estimators
The Iron Triangle Of Service: Good, Fast, And Cheap -- PICK TWO. You Can Never Have All Three, As The Saying Goes!
Online Value Estimators are Fast and Free... And Free is the ultimate definition of cheap! So, since you can NOT have all three, and these online instant valuations are Fast and Free, then that means these Estimators can NOT also be Good!
There are many real estate and lending websites offering estimators out there. You can use this if you want a general estimate of your home may be worth. While these can help you decide if it’s worth considering selling or refinancing, these sites tend to dramatically undervalue or overvalue property values. So, using these when selling or purchasing a new place could create unrealistically high or unreasonably low expectations that could cost you thousands of dollars as both a seller or a buyer!
Price Per Square Foot Calculations
Price per square foot calculations are often used by sellers, buyers and unfortunately even by many real estate agents to determine the value of a property in comparison to other recent sales. This approach divides the sale or list price by the above ground square feet to arrive at a price per square foot.
If you are comparing to identical floor plans, with identical finishes and features, built at the same time, by the same builder on lots next to each other and both places have continued to have identical updates, then this approach might yield a meaningful value. However, this is rarely the case since price per square foot calculations do not reflect the many differences in properties like, bed and bathroom configurations, land value and location, views, garage spaces, finishes, updates and improvements, the year the place was built or any of the hundreds of differences between homes.
Mitch Refers To This Calculation As Only Pricing Validation, NOT Pricing Valuation!
Once a property CMA has been completed this calculation can be used to determine if a property has been overimproved or is overpriced within the neighborhood, development or area. If the price per square foot, based on a proper CMA, is dramatically higher than similar nearby places then the property is likely overimproved! Additionally if the price per square foot, based on the CMA, is dramatically lower than the price per square foot based on the list price, then the property is likely overpriced.

As A Seller... "I always felt relaxed and like his only client."
I always felt relaxed and like his only client. It is without hesitation that we recommend Mitch Rolsky as a real estate agent for both the buy and sell side.
We have worked with Mitch twice in the purchase of a downtown Indy home and then with the subsequent sale of the same house just over 2 years later. Mitch's guidance allowed us to purchase the home in a desirable location at a price level that was at the lower end of the market range at that time. During the sale of the home, Mitch paid no attention to what the home was sold for earlier but focused on what the market would bear. Mitch focused on selling the value of the home and the location as opposed to price. He knows the market extensively and set a selling price and sales strategy that worked perfectly in a softening seller's market.
We moved because of a career change which forced us to move away during the sales process. Mitch took care of everything from there....in essence, we left our entire belongings in the care of Mitch. Friendly, detailed, trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional are but a few of the attributes of Mitch. Thanks Mitch....
As A Buyer... "Purchasing Indy real estate virtually from California during covid, was not within my comfort zone."
Purchasing Indy real estate virtually from California during covid, was not within my comfort zone. I needed an agent to patiently show me things as though I was there myself, speak with blunt honesty and find balance between my "desire" list and a stable long term investment.
Mitch doesn't miss a beat! He is highly intelligent, engaged with his clients - stellar communicator with a wealth of wisdom not only through the home buying process, but in life. I always felt relaxed and like his only client, yet knew he was doing much hard work in the background.
I've heard in life that "your realtor is your best friend!" Best friends work for your best interest; he was always right there and always told it like it was....so appreciated!!! He exceeded all expectations and hope to work together again in the future!
