In 2009, Jenni Gindling and her family made a life-changing move to Georgetown, Kentucky when her husband, Doug, accepted a position at Georgetown Community Hospital. Little did she know that this move would ultimately lead her on a remarkable journey in the world of real estate. After spending several years as a dedicated stay-at-home mom of four kids under 3 years old (twins Doug and Elizabeth, son Robby and daughter Grace), Jenni started thinking about their future and how she could help financially support four kids in college all at the same time. Jenni decided to embark on a new path in 2018 by obtaining her real estate license. 

Shortly out of high school, Jenni moved to Indianapolis to be closer to her high school sweetheart, Doug.  They married and while Doug was attending Butler University in Indianapolis and Jenni worked for a law firm as a legal assistant. That’s the time when Jenni’s mom unintentionally kickstarted her love for real estate. 

“My mom told me to stop wasting my money on rent and buy a house so Doug and I could start building some equity,” Jenni explained as she and Doug purchased the. “So at the age of 20, that’s what we did. I was young, and working hard at my job to provide. I fell in love with homeownership and the accomplishment of being a homeowner. It also kickstarted my love for all things interior design.” 

The couple was still focused on getting Doug through pharmacy school while Jenni continued her work as a legal assistant. 

“Fast forward a few years, Doug was graduating, I was working and I found out I was pregnant with twins,” Jenni said. 

So Jenni’s career took a pause for many years, but then chose to obtain her real estate license when her twins turned 15. 

“I started thinking about buying the kids cars and putting them through college and I just wanted to figure out a way to contribute financially,” Jenni said. “Throughout the years as a stay-at-home mom, we invested in real estate flipping houses, investing in a storage business, so obtaining my real estate license just seemed like the natural fit.” 

This decision marked the beginning of a career filled with passion, determination and unwavering commitment to her clients. 

Jenni quickly proved herself to be a problem solver. In the often-challenging world of buying, selling and investing in real estate, she has a remarkable ability to remain level-headed and find innovative solutions. Her main focus is building strong lifelong relationships with her clients based on trust, communication, and complete transparency. 

“I love my clients,” Jenni stressed. “I always have their best interest at heart. I always give 100 percent and dedicate myself to exceptional client satisfaction.” 

What sets Jenni apart is her genuine love for helping people. She has had the privilege of connecting with a wide array of individuals throughout her real estate journey. Moreover, real estate has opened doors to various opportunities, including short-term rentals and interior design.

“What I love about real estate is all the wonderful people I have met, from clients to fellow realtors, contractors, lenders…the list goes on and on,” Jenni added. “I currently help design for clients’ personal homes as well as a couple of custom home builders to help pick out finishes for their clients. It’s a passion of mine. I also manage six short-term rentals, which I absolutely love. I thrive making other people feel special. When I see that five-star review, it gives me such a rush of accomplishment.” 

Jenni aspires to take her love for design further in her career, all while continuing to find solutions and help her clients achieve their real estate goals. Jenni’s enthusiasm for what real estate can offer, from investment opportunities to guiding first-time homebuyers, shines through in her every endeavor. Now that motivation has been reflected in growth in Jenni’s whole business, which she labels Scout Group after the team’s mascot, a spunky golden Labrador.  

“She’s our little girl scout,” Jenni said. “I just hired two young associates, Tyler Martin and Aaliyah Woodward, both 20 years old. I can’t wait to harness their ambition into real estate. I hope that my stick-to-itiveness rubs off on them. We just have to keep working hard. We’re in the early stages of building our brand. We have just finished up our website and are figuring out systems that work best for us. I’m excited for our future. We want our clients to know they are in good hands. We are committed to excellence.” 

All of this growth and work put into her business has been with a sole focus in mind. 

“I think about work and my clients 24/7, but I also reflect on the fact that Doug and I will be married for 26 years this December,” Jenni said. “Doug has been my constant since I was 17. Without his support, none of my success or our kids’ success would be possible.” 

This career path, one that took a while to jumpstart, but has been proven to be significantly rewarding has allowed Jenni to develop and thrive alongside a family that has motivated her each step of the way.
