The Medley Sokoler team is often asked what makes us different that other realtors or real estate teams when selling a home. The answer includes hundreds reasons. Below are some of the reasons, but more importantly we’ve also included videos on our marketing, success stories and some of the work that our team does.

Understand that our concept is to always be available by phone. If you have a question (even in the middle of the night) Bob Sokoler’s phone is always on! Too may other agents only answer their phone during daytime hours! We feel our clients are paying us to always be “on call” and the same holds true with buyers. Let’s face it if a buyer has a question about your home, you want an agent who takes that call and tries to get the buyer into your home for a sale!

Our commitment to excellence extends into our marketing as well! Most other realtors use a cheap consumer grade camera to take pictures of your home and market it on the Internet. With 87% of all home buyers starting to look on the internet, you need more than a consumer picture promoting your home. We use Hi end professional gear and produce Hi quality pictures and videos. We market those pictures on web sites all over the world. Our goal is to get as many eyeballs on your home as possible, that’s why we’re so successful at selling homes. Simply look at the videos below and decide for yourself!

Finally we have a team in place that gets the job done daily! That means fewer problems for our sellers and buyers because we stay ahead of any potential problems. Those are just some of the reasons we’er different than other realtors and teams. We’d love to meet with you in person to explain the other reasons. Call Bob Sokoler anytime at (502) 376-5483 or go to www.weselllouisville.com or www.louisvillehomestoday.com .  

Looking for a home? You want to make sure the agent or agents you work with know the ins’ and outs’ of the real estate business. These days part time agents just don’t cut it. Too many things can go wrong and if an agent is at their primary job, there’s no way they can take the time to work on a problem. That’s why you need a full time agent and better yet a full time Real Estate team. The Medley Sokoler Team can help you buy and sell a home. Head to www.weselllouisville.com for more info. At the same time listen to what Dan and Leigh Anne McNamara had to say about their experience with us.

It’s the home sale version of the cash for clunkers car rebate!  Louisville area home sales for the month of July jumped through the roof in July of 2009. Our area saw a 21% increase in home sales from July 2008 but were still 13% below the levels of July 2007 (before the housing market tanked).

 Another great sign that the Louisville housing market is going in the right direction, homes going under contract in July 2009 compared to the year before were up 32%.

The peak performing home prices were in the 100,000- 160,000 and 200,000-250,000 price ranges. Clearly the $8000 first time home buyers tax credit and lower interest rates played a major part in the homes sales increase and at the same time the people living in those entry levels homes were able to buy their next home which would typically be in the 200,000-250,000 price point.

The numbers show that the tax credit is a winner and along with the success from the cash for clunkers car traded-in program that was extended again this past Friday, our government should realize that extending and expanding the home buyer tax credit program would go a long way to moving the housing market and economy into the recovered category!

Linda is about to move into her new Louisville home! We closed on it yesterday and because she’s a first time buyer, Linda is now able to get back $8000 on her taxes. She can amended her 2008 tax return and get it back within a couple of months or wait until next year and file the tax credit with her 2009 taxes. Either way Linda is off to a great start and the Medley Sokoler team was glad to be a part of it. We wish Linda the very best and we’ll always be here for her.
