Best lender in Louisville! I can't say enough great things…read moreabout my experience with Home Loan Xpress. From start to finish, the process was smooth, transparent, and far less stressful than I imagined. My loan officer took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my (many) questions, and made sure I felt confident at every step. They worked quickly and efficiently to get me pre-approved, kept me updated throughout the underwriting process, and even helped me find a better interest rate than I expected. Communication was excellent, and I never felt like I was just another file on someone's desk. If you're looking for a team that genuinely cares about getting you into the right home loan--and making sure you understand the whole process--I highly recommend Home Loan Xpress.

He had me lower my initial bid, which was accepted and saved me over a thousand dollars over what I wanted to open with . He is a savvy young guy and is very effective. I genuinely feel he was more concerned about getting me the home I wanted than racking up a big commission.

Mary Jarrett was our realtor while trying to go through the difficult process of finding a home…read more She showed us every single house she could and was amazing at gettin answers that we were looking for with each house. 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!

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.

Semonin Realtors is one of the oldest and most highly regarded firms in Louisville, KY. My first contact was on the phone. He was highly emotional when. I described the atmosphere in my neighborhood: People were distraught because Ghayhoumi planned to put a driveway into the property behind my house. Ray was selling the land for his brother Who was out of the state. Ghayoumi agreed to sell me the property. I gave him $1,000. When the closing date was set, Ghayoumi said I was to pay his closing costs. This was a deal breaker. I signed a termination contract. Ghayoumi refused to give me back my $1,000. At the end I was glad not to have any further Business with such a nickle and dimer.

I had the privilege of being recommended to work with Dustin Robinson as my relator…read more I have never met him, although we had some similar friends and connections, and truly at the time I felt uneasy about venturing into being a first time home owner. But my wife was getting more and more excited about being a future home owner, and the past two years of renting started to bear the limitations and frustrations of not owning your own place. My wife set up a time to meet up with a realtor, and I reluctantly went not expecting to enjoy the meeting whatsoever. The semonin's location was impressive, and the staff was instantly friendly and accommodating. I worked strange hours at the time, but Dustin set up a time that worked for us. Most of his co-workers had already gone home, and we met in his office. It didn't take long for my fears to melt away. The meeting with Dustin was professional, and yet very friendly and caring. He could read we were new to it all and provided the information and assistance we needed to feel comfortable. We decided to take the plunge and start looking at houses. This is where the 5 stars comes into place, if I could give 10 stars I would. Dustin never gave the impression that we were a paycheck to him, in fact he was a friend, he was a great help to us, and he stuck it through till the end. He was always available when we needed to communicate and he fought for us to get the best deals, even if it meant deals falling through. Our first house he told us about an inspector who was fairly priced and was very much attention to detail. This inspector saved us from buying a house that looked fine, but had extensive termite damage. Dustin continued to encourage us, after our "dream house" had a terrible report from the inspection. A month later we found a better house. One that needed a roof repair. The sellers were not great at communicating and yet Dustin fought to bridge the gap, on the end we were able to get them to replace the roof with no expense to us and we now live in a home we absolutely adore. If it wasn't for Dustin we would of possibly bought the first house and would be living in a money pit. Semonin's services were so helpful. We couldn't of done it without them.

When we decided to visit Louisville for a 3 day weekend, he dedicated an entire Friday to showing us homes. At the end of that day, we realized that the house we eventually purchased had just returned to the market. Matthew was then able to spend the following morning (Saturday) with us to view it. The timing was perfect. Throughout the transaction, Matthew and his team took great care of us, communicated well, and kept a degree of levity that made the journey not feel like as much drudgery as a home purchasing/selling transaction can often feel. We would strongly recommend Matthew and his team to any buyers looking for an agent!

I also appreciated the fact that Laura Oatley treated the experience as more than a transaction: She understood and honored the fact that my elderly parents were leaving the city they loved. While agreeing to let them make that transition before listing the house, Laura nonetheless worked tirelessly with me directly throughout their move so that the house was ready to be shown as soon as it went on the market. The result was that my parents stayed relaxed and focused, unburdened by the sale process AND we got multiple first day viewings with completion of sale at asking price before midnight on DAY ONE! I cannot thank Laura, Aimee, and the entire Oatley Team enough for their professionalism and compassion.
