INDIANAPOLIS – Kristin Liggin, a Trent L. Garrett Fellow, has recently been promoted to Intend Indiana’s Real Estate Manager.

Intend Indiana announced the creation of the Trent L. Garrett Fellowship in 2022, celebrating the legacy of its esteemed colleague and dear friend, Trent L. Garrett. The fellowship’s mission is to support diverse professionals in developing careers in real estate and community development. This program has empowered recipients with invaluable real estate experience, deep insights into the development sector, and exceptional opportunities to refine their leadership skills.

Liggin has demonstrated extraordinary commitment, skill, and leadership throughout her fellowship, and this promotion is a well-earned recognition of her impressive contributions. As a Real Estate Manager, Liggin will assist with all aspects of housing development, including activities that lead to the purchase, sale, or development of real estate. She will manage the organization’s real estate portfolio, conduct financial analysis, and lead a team of real estate professionals as part of the Affordable HomeMatters initiative.

During her first year as a Trent L. Garrett Fellow, Liggin became a Real Estate Diversity Initiative (REDI) Scholar through the Urban Land Institute Indiana, completed the Indianapolis Urban League’s Exchange Leadership Fellows Program, and will begin the Martindale-Brightwood Jumpstart program starting in July 2024.

In addition, Liggin successfully developed Intend Indiana's four-part Homeownership 101 education series and demonstrated exceptional leadership by conducting numerous classes with community partners across Indianapolis. She pioneered the creation of the organization's inaugural Home Care Manual, providing invaluable guidance on post-purchase care and maintenance for new homeowners. Liggin is also a licensed real estate broker and a member of the Central Indiana Realtist Association (CIRA).
