Sylva came to real estate by way of bikes, helping a couple renting bicycles when they were in town for a job interview. As she helped them map their day's exploration, and explained the best routes between neighborhoods and hospitals, she realized that helping people get connected and find a good home base to walk or bike to work was a powerful way to build liveable communities. Sylva and her husband matched in Indianapolis for a med-peds residency in 2015, buying their first home a short walk from the hospitals where he would serve. Although they outgrew their house faster than expected when they had twins, the couple moved a block over to stay in the neighborhood they came to love, Ransom Place. You can find Sylva riding her cargo bike around the city with her daughters, practicing her Mandarin as they explore bakeries, parks and museums.
