BATESVILLE, IN — Lincoln Realty has expanded by opening an office in Batesville.
The occasion was celebrated Wednesday with a ribbon-cutting by the Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce plus a grand opening and grill out at the agency’s new office at 121 B Batesville Shopping Village.
Managing Broker Melanie Hartwell said she has operated the Greensburg-Decatur County area location for 20 years and decided to open an office in Batesville because two of her agents are from the Batesville and Brookville areas.
“With the Internet and Facebook and other things, we have people who can serve a wider area,” Hartwell said. “I have Deanna Hill and Deborah Lakin who will be serving this whole Southeastern Indiana area. We decided to open this office and hope to serve many more people by helping them buy and sell a home.
Hartwell has been in the real estate business for a total of 22 years, including 15 as a managing broker.
The original office is located at 1201 North Lincoln Street, Suite B in Greensburg.
In addition to increasing Lincoln Realty’s footprint into the Batesville, Ripley County, and Franklin County areas, the agency’s logo has been upgraded after 2o years.
“We’ve moved into this area right next to Schmidt’s Bakery so every day we go over and have a doughnut. In fact, here’s a little fun fact: the office in Greensburg is across from a bakery as well. So, I don’t know, maybe we have a thing for sweets,” joked Hartwell.
The phone number for the Batesville office is (812) 932-SOLD (7653).
