Jill Kaps VanBruaene
Managing Broker Indiana
Realtor in Indiana & Michigan
PSA, ABR
I jumped into real estate in February 2020 with Inspired Homes as a Transaction Coordinator, ensuring every deal crossed the finish line smoothly. It didn’t take long before I was hooked! I got my Indiana license in 2022, expanded into Michigan in 2025, and stepped into the Managing Broker role of our Indiana Office in January 2025. With a team that brings over 50 years of combined experience, my goal is simple—make buying or selling feel easy, exciting, and maybe even a little fun.
I’m a South Bend native who made my way back home in 2013 after 23 years in Indianapolis (and a career as a VP in banking). Once back, I opened an advertising business before realizing real estate was where I truly belonged.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me giving back—serving on the Saint Joseph County Board of Health and volunteering with Cultivate Food Rescue, helping prep meals for those in need.
Life got even better in 2017 when I married my husband, Maurie. I gained five amazing adult kids and a growing crew of grandkids—so there’s never a dull moment! We love golfing, camping, boating, and yes… Belgium Boling (I promise it’s a thing). We’re also big fans of checking out new restaurants and local spots around Michiana.
Being back in South Bend just feels right. And if you’re thinking about making a move, I’d love to help you find the perfect place to call home.
