Landrigan & Company, Realtors | Indianapolis Real Estate, Realtors, Homes, & Houses, Realty

Bruce Savage, a cheery, principled man whose voice had briefly taken him to Broadway, settled down and began the practice of real estate in Indianapolis with a leading local firm. Within a short period of time, he had established himself as the leading North Side agent of the period..

Landrigan's son (Savage's grandson), G.B. Landrigan, graduated from Wabash College the following year and entered real estate. For twenty years, he worked with one of the city's leading real estate organizations. By March of 2005, however, he sensed that the time was right to create a new firm that embraced the values and uniqeness of the old Savage Company while blending it with a more modern business model that would attract agents who value independence, knowledge, and discretion.

The firm currently fosters six Realtors with an expansion to ten planned shortly. The Company's offices are, perhaps, the most visible novelty.

The Company also publishes The Landrigan Quarterly, the first and only comprehensive neighborhood-by-neighborhood real estate report survey covering much of Central Indiana. Published every three months. A companion Quick Update is published monthly.

Landrigan died unexpectedly in 1984 and the firm, still one of the city's largest, closed.
