After having moved to Louisville (to be close to family) on the cusp of what would become the most…read morecompetitive buyer's market in decades, my wife and I leaned very heavily on Michelle and the Homepage Realty website throughout our search for our first home purchase. Throughout countless private walk-throughs (amidst several COVID spikes and resulting restrictions), a half-dozen offers (and subsequent painstaking negotiations which resulted in nothing) and ultimately buying our house, Michelle was always even-keeled and supportive. The more homes we looked at, the more my wife and I would joke (between ourselves) that "she must be getting so sick of us!", but we never actually got that impression -- far from it, in fact. With a demeanor closer to that of an actual friend than that of the typical, overenthusiastic (and sometimes phoney) real estate agent, Michelle was very honest with us about when a particular house wouldn't be worth our time, or when another would require more work than we'd like to put into a new house, or when another would probably take more than we were willing to spend to get it. She made it clear through her actions that our satisfaction was more important than her commission. In addition, the time she's spent living in Louisville is evident in her familiarity with each pocket of the city and the pros and cons of living in each one. It seemed like every prognostication she made for us ultimately came to fruition -- including on the house we finally wound up buying. Everything from the offer price, to certain specifics in a given contract or offer wound up being just as vital or as unimportant as she said they would be, all while never doing anything shady, underhanded or out of line. The house we finally bought has all the things that we said were important to us, it's close to the family we moved here to be close to, and was well within our price range. We can't (or don't want to) imagine having gone through the home-buying process with a different real estate agency or agent.

Michelle is fantastic! She is ALL the things you want your realtor to be. For starters, she was…read moreso friendly and welcoming at our first meeting. 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!

Good thing. The house looked nice and neat inside, but under the house needed 30k of work, the joists were virtually gone. Lots of other problems also found by the inspector.

Moral of the story: ALWAYS use your own inspector, and if the agent even suggests one, be skeptical of his/her integrity.

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!

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!!

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 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.
