Tyler Lingle is an Indianapolis Realtor, real estate investor, and co-founder of Roots Realty Co. His life and career are grounded in three core pillars: Education, Investment, and Faith.
After attending Olivet Nazarene University, where he studied History Education and Economics, Tyler began his professional career as a Teach For America corps member. He spent four years teaching middle school history at a charter school on the west side of Indianapolis. His experience in urban education shaped the way he works today, teaching him grit, discipline, creative problem-solving, and how to guide people through challenging and high-pressure situations.
Tyler's journey into Indianapolis real estate began with his own experience as a homeowner and investor. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he transitioned from education into real estate after seeing firsthand the power of property ownership to build long-term wealth and create new opportunities for families.
His first major real estate experience came through house hacking and renovating a home in the historic Irvington neighborhood of Indianapolis. By improving the property and adding value through renovation, Tyler became passionate about real estate investing, rental properties, and helping others use Indianapolis real estate as a tool for wealth building.
Since becoming a Realtor, Tyler has represented buyers, sellers, homeowners, and real estate investors in more than 150 transactions totaling over $38 million in real estate sales volume. He has helped clients navigate home purchases, listings, investment properties, rental acquisitions, renovations, and wealth-building strategies throughout Indianapolis and Central Indiana.
Tyler built his real estate business around relentless follow-through, deep knowledge of the Indianapolis housing and investment market, and a consultant-concierge level of service. His goal is not simply to complete a transaction, but to help clients make wise, informed real estate decisions based on their long-term goals.
In 2023, Tyler co-founded Roots Realty Co., powered by @properties. Roots Realty Co. is an Indianapolis-based real estate team serving homeowners, homebuyers, sellers, and real estate investors across Indianapolis and the surrounding Central Indiana communities. The team's mission is simple: help people Plant Roots & Build Wealth through real estate.
As both an Indianapolis Realtor and rental property investor, Tyler brings firsthand experience to conversations about buying a home, selling property, renovating houses, evaluating investment opportunities, and building a long-term real estate portfolio. His personal experience investing in Indianapolis neighborhoods allows him to provide practical, market-focused guidance to clients at every stage of their real estate journey.
When he is not working with real estate clients or exploring Indianapolis investment opportunities, Tyler can often be found running on the Monon Trail, visiting one of Indy's local breweries, hiking in a Central Indiana park, or relaxing at home with a great book.
Tyler, his wife Brianna, and their son Calvin live in the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood of Indianapolis and are proud to call Central Indiana home.
