WE’VE BEEN SEEKING NEW HORIZONS FOR DECADES
OUR JOURNEY
Some companies are built around transactions.
Zickler Associates was built around relationships.
Founded by Louis E. Zickler and Ryan E. Zickler, the company grew from a simple belief: great real estate isn't just about buildings—it's about understanding communities, anticipating change, and helping clients make decisions that create value for decades.
For more than sixty years, the Zickler name has become synonymous with commercial real estate throughout Indiana. From neighborhood retail centers and downtown redevelopment to corporate headquarters, investment properties, and complex land transactions, Zickler Associates has quietly helped shape the places where people live, work, and gather.
Lou brought a rare combination of brokerage, appraisal, counseling, and long-term thinking. His reputation wasn't built on volume. It was built on trust. Clients returned because they knew every recommendation was grounded in experience, integrity, and an understanding that real estate decisions ripple through businesses and communities for generations.
It has created a legacy.
Ryan expanded that foundation into one of Indiana's premier retail real estate practices, representing national retailers, developers, landlords, investors, and local entrepreneurs with the same disciplined approach his father established years earlier.
Rather than simply leasing space, Zickler Associates became known for connecting opportunity with vision—matching the right property with the right long-term strategy.
