About Me
“My name is Marcus Fillyaw, and I’m a Realtor based in the Indianapolis area. Originally from Topeka, Kansas, I made the move to Indianapolis to build a life with my wife, Bria, and together we’re raising our two children, McKenna and Makai. Family is at the center of everything I do, and that perspective strongly influences how I serve my clients.
Before transitioning into real estate, I spent five years playing professional basketball. That experience shaped my work ethic, discipline, and problem-solving mindset — qualities I now bring to every real estate transaction. Just like in sports, success in real estate comes from preparation, communication, and teamwork, and I take pride in guiding my clients every step of the way.
I’m passionate about educating people on the home buying and selling process, empowering them to make confident, informed decisions. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, upgrading to fit a growing family, or making an investment, my goal is always to add value and make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Known for my ability to collaborate, solve problems, and truly listen, I focus on building genuine relationships rather than just closing deals. Real estate is more than transactions — it’s about helping people reach meaningful milestones, and I’m honored to be part of that journey.
Let’s work together to find the right home and the right solution for you. Get in touch today.”

On average, the process takes 30-60 days from offer acceptance to closing, though timelines can vary depending on the market and financing.
