We used Joe to sell our home in Louisville last Summer and he was outstanding…read more Before choosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort, not necessarily financially) and how they promote their listings. The Joe Hayden Team stood out as the best Louisville has to offer: their organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), their social media presence was strong, and I could tell they put a lot of work into their listings. We spoke with Joe and then met with him at our home. He spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. We were concerned that our house, which was located pretty far from downtown and in a neighborhood with hundreds of similar homes would be tough to sell. Joe made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), like having a pro come and give us staging tips, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more. When we saw our listing we were blown away. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. The second buyer that saw the property put in an offer. Our house went under contract 4 days after we put it on the market at 1% under asking price. We accepted and Joe (and Anne, who was also incredibly friendly and helpful) walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I've recommended the Joe Hayden Team to everyone I know. He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.

Awesome. I don't think we could have asked for a better Realtor. We actually had the house on the…read moremarket two or three other times, and in the past we didn't work with a realty team. Every step of the way they went above and beyond. They came out to the house and showed us little upgrades here and there that go a long way to sell the house.

First off, let me start off by saying that I didn't know Stephanie before starting the house…read morehunting process. Secondly, I am not always an easy client, because I always want perfect and want it yesterday. The job that my husband was interviewing for set us up with Stephanie. Upon meeting her I immediately noticed how professional, knowledgeable, and just an all around good person she is. Not only did she take us to see homes, but to see a variety of neighborhoods in the city that may be a good fit for our family. She truly did her due diligence to ensure that we ended up in the right spot. As I got to know Stephanie better, I learned what kind of fighter she really is and saw how that reflected over to her work. She fought for us to get a perfect home in the neighborhood we wanted at a price that we were pleased with, despite the stale market and low inventory. As a sales person, I'm always critical of another but was amazed by her going above and beyond every step of the way. She is a resource for all things Louisville and even sets up events for her clients get to know people in the area. During the process I think we met everyone on the First Saturday team, as they showed some homes as well. They were all genuinely happy to do so, and I think that is indicative of the environment that Stephanie and Greg have created within their business. I would recommend them all! All that to say that we are beyond happy to have worked with First Saturday, and Stephanie is definitely the reason we got our dream home, even during a crazy time where homes fly off the market as soon as they are listed. I can't recommend the First Saturday team enough!!

You'd be hard-pressed to find a group of agents that have such a complete understanding of the local market and an on-demand responsiveness to your needs. Greg & Stephanie are not only two of the best agents out there, but they have cultivated a group of agents that all live up to their extremely high standards. A nice bonus is that they have an equally impressive network of mortgage brokers, home staging, and design professionals, so they've got you covered A-to-Z! I always recommend First Saturday to buyers & sellers in the area, and I certainly wouldn't use anyone else. Go with First Saturday and take comfort that you're in the best of hands!

We wanted to buy a house in Louisville. We knew it is wise to be represented by a "buyer's…read moreagent", but we didn't know one we wanted to use. We found Martin Shuck more or less randomly, and we lucked out. Over about four months we looked at probably twenty houses, made offers on three, (two fell through due to results of home inspections), finally bought one. Mr. Shuck hung in with us all the way. We found him to be thoroughly ethical, always responsive, competent, friendly and patient. Without a trace of pressure or BS. When you see a listing on realtor.com or somewhere, I strongly recommend that you hold off on calling the agent who is selling it and get one to represent YOUR interests, not the sellers Martin Shuck at MLSCO would be a very good choice.

She knows a ton about houses and is good at noticing things that you likely would not and knowing some of that stuff up front is helpful. She is respectful of what you're looking for and takes it into consideration on any houses she suggests to you (which she does a solid job of sending your way so you don't have to worry about missing a good one as soon as it pops up). She gives you honest feedback that really does help with the hard part...making a decision. She was always quick to respond and communicated very clearly. I honestly enjoyed looking at houses with Michelle; she definitely made the stressful process of home hunting/buying way better!

I recently moved to the Louisville area from Phoenix, AZ, and I could not be happier with my experience. She organized and toured each home visit with me and pointed out all the great aspects and any potential pitfalls.

She is professional, friendly, and full of amazing recommendations from contractors to favorite local eateries. Thank you, Heather! You are a rock star!! I am so grateful for your help! If you're looking for an agent, don't hesitate, CALL HER! When family and friends recommend a different agent, don't listen or waste your time like I did, CALL HEATHER! She is more than worth it.

I felt like I could be myself with Mary and knew she was looking out for my family. I wanted to spend my nights and weekends with someone showing you houses that I liked to be around and Mary made that very easy. ALWAYS available and very open about any and all questions, wishes, or feelings my family had. I just can't say enough good! I told her about a house by me that was a for sale by owner and she took the listing and sold it in hours!!!!! . Thanks Shamus Greene for having amazing agents like Mary Jarrett!

While home shopping Shamus always noticed things that we wouldn't necessarily see on our own, he was very knowledgeable when we had questions and he put up with my crazy when I needed to vent on a couple of occasions. He helped us negotiate a deal we were comfortable with on our new home and for that we are grateful. Now that we are in the process of selling our old home I'm even more thankful for Shamus and his expertise. Unfortunately this has been anything but smooth sailing but Shamus has always been there to advocate for us and support whatever decision we wanted to make. He has done everything in his power to help us get the most out of our home and keep things moving towards our closing. We are truly grateful for him and his knowledge. We have also had the pleasure of getting to work with a few members of his team during this process and they have all been wonderful as well. I also want to especially recognize Eric Jones because he stepped up on several occasions to show us homes and be there for us when Shamus had scheduling conflicts and we so appreciated him taking the time to help us! I cannot recommend Shamus and his team enough!

I started off with a different realtor and when their contract was up, Thank goodness cuz they very rarely showed the house or got the house shown. I changed realtors. Scotty came along and within 2 months he had my house sold. You know with the other one I took in consideration that it was on the downturn of the housing market with interest rates and stuff going up but Scotty came in and threw that thinking out the window. I'm out of state and he took care of things that came up that I couldn't or probably would have had to pay a lot of money to have taken care of. Scotty went above and beyond and as I said wish he would have been the first realtor I talked to. He is realistic and honest with his clients and highly motivated. So again I highly recommend Scotty Paden

Jessica was very honest, and didn't ask us for any outrageous renovations. She cares about her clients as they are her family!

She took care of the reminder of corrections, cleaning, staging, and photos absolutely perfectly without us being there.She really took great care of us and we are forever grateful! In the end, she had our house sold, over the asking price before it hit the market! I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to buy and sell their house.
