A family business built on a single belief; that a well cared for home is one of life's quiet luxuries.
Two brothers, one standard of care. We founded ABODE to be the single call for everything your home requires, attending to every detail so you never search for, vet, or manage a vendor again.
The owners
Founder and owner
Ned is a graduate of the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, where he was part of the Hutton Honors College. He brings a strong foundation in finance and business analytics, along with deep ties to local business owners and service professionals.
He built ABODE to meet the rising demand for trusted, relationship driven home management across Indiana and southern Michigan, serving greater Indianapolis and beyond.
Co-owner
Luke earned his economics degree with a finance concentration from Emory University. He then went on to get his MBA from Calvin University. Before joining ABODE, Luke was a financial consultant supervisor at RSM, working with the business valuations team.
Luke's education and prior work experience provided him with a foundation in managing complex projects, handling significant budgets, and coordinating with multiple parties.
Ned and Luke had discussed going into business together ever since they were kids. They weren't entirely sure what that would look like but knew they wanted to help others and solve complex problems. When Ned approached Luke to join him at ABODE, it was a no-brainer.
The origin
ABODE was born out of a personal realization. Growing up, Ned watched his own father spend countless hours caring for their home and properties. Even when he was off the clock, he was still working.
It was not just the physical work in the yard or around the house, but the constant effort of finding vendors, scheduling appointments, and making sure things were done right. Ned often thought, what if someone could handle all of that for him?
ABODE is Ned and Luke's answer to that question. It is a service created to give homeowners their time back, so they can focus on the people and pursuits that matter most.
The service model is one stop: all residential maintenance, repairs and upkeep run through a single point of contact. Behind it is a network of reliable, trusted and insured service providers, each one selected rather than searched for, and each one billing you at their own price.
The mark
In Ned's own words
This particular leaf is a depiction of the redbud tree leaf. My late grandfather planted hundreds of redbud trees in central and northern Indiana. It was his favorite tree, and thus a symbol of his legacy to our family. Not only was he a devoted husband, father and grandfather, but he was also a principled entrepreneur, a generous philanthropist, and a devout man of faith. I dedicate this business endeavor to him.
Get started
The goal for every prospect is to meet them at their home, because that is where the plan comes from.
