F.C. Tucker, Front Porch Real Estate team up

INDIANAPOLIS — Front Porch Real Estate is joining forces with The F.C. Tucker Company, Indiana’s largest independent real estate firm, which has an office in Greenfield.

Established in 2014 by former F.C. Tucker real estate agent Jim Perry, Front Porch has 190 agents working out of five offices — four offices in Indianapolis and one in Paoli, Indiana, with annual sales in excess of $348,000,000.

All of Front Porch’s offices will remain open during the transition period. Following the transition period, agents will become part of metro-area F.C. Tucker offices. The Front Porch brand will transition to F.C. Tucker. Perry will join the management team at F.C. Tucker Company.

The addition of Front Porch propels F.C. Tucker’s market share over 20%.
