We didn't even list the house and Jeff found a buyer, showed them the house and an offer was made and excepted in a matter of 2 days! Jeff was very easy to work with and made the selling experience smooth. He always answered phone calls, text and emails. When we needed to make improvements, he took it and ran with it. So not only do you have a great agent, you have a "contractor" to help with things that would take days to get finished. All paperwork was quick & in order! I would highly recommend Jeff Gapen.

We used Jeff Gapen as our realtor and could not be more pleased. Jeff and Karen found the house we ultimately purchased and recognized that it would be perfect for us when we definitely would never have been able to picture it. We trusted their judgment and relied heavily on their advice in deciding to purchase. Jeff negotiated transparently and quickly, and we had an accepted contract within only a day or two. The house’s interior needed to be completely remodeled, and Jeff assisted with arranging and executing everything we needed to have done. We made it to closing smoothly, and there was never any issue that arose that Jeff didn’t resolve quickly and satisfactorily. We’d especially recommend him to anyone who might be interested in purchasing or selling a home that might need some attention/repair, as he is connected to all kinds of contractors and tradesmen. In the end, we ended up with the exact house we wanted completely remodeled to our own taste. Had it not been for Jeff and K

The Gapen’s are a great real estate team!!! They made the process of selling and buying a home effortless, but their help went way beyond that. Karen is fantastic at staging homes for sale and Jeff helped us find the right people to make repairs to both our new and old home. You will not regret hiring them!!!

Karen and Jeff do an amazing job! They have helped me find and sell multiple homes including my current one in Lake Forest that I absolutely love! What truly sets them apart is their experience, talent and teamwork. Karen has an incredible eye for staging. She has transformed my last three homes so beautifully that they sold within days and at top dollar. Jeff is exceptional when it comes to negotiations and contracts, always making sure every detail is handled perfectly. The Gapen Team’s vision, professionalism and dedication make the entire process smooth and successful every time. I highly recommend! T Giles

Jeff and Karen were a huge asset to us in selling our home. They worked harder than any realtor we have ever worked with before! They are very knowledgeable, competent and hard working. We definitely recommend working with them both. They are a great team!

.I chose Local Realty to sell my home because I was downsizing after years of accumulating so much- it felt overwhelming. Karen and Jeff made the entire process so much easier than I ever expected. Karen guided me through decluttering, helping me decide what to keep and what to let go of, all at no extra cost. She also had a list of reliable, reasonably priced professionals for extra tasks I needed done. She staged my home beautifully, and thanks to Jeff's expert negotiating skills, it sold quickly and for top dollar. Jeff was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through every step of the selling process. I truly dont know what I would have done without their experience, guidence, and support. I highly recommend Local Realty- D Russell

I had to move into an assisted living community due to ongoing health issues and wasn’t able to get my home ready to sell on my own. I hired the Gapen Team, and I’m so thankful I did. Karen came in and thoughtfully
decluttered my home, only charging a minimal fee to move a few larger items. She then staged it beautifully( For Free), even bringing in some of her own décor—it looked like a model home when she
was done. She also arranged for professional photography, and the home sold quickly for much more than I ever expected. Jeff managed the entire transaction, including the inspection, which brought up a few issues. He
handled everything quickly and efficiently, keeping my costs incredibly low. The closing process was
smooth from start to finish. I’m so grateful for everything the team at Local Realty did for me and highly recommend them to anyone needing help selling their home.-D Russell

Jeff and Karen worked with my wife and I for over a year to find the right condo for our needs. They listened to what we wanted and only showed us properties that met our criteria. They also listed our home which sold fast. I have never dealt with a team that provided such great customer service before, during, and after the sale. Jeff and Karen organized an estate sale for us and worked 2 full days to make it a success for no additional compensation. They also worked to make sure the closing happened on time. They also scheduled painting and carpet cleaning for our condo prior to moving in. I highly recommend the Gapen Team!- E Demling

I had the task of helping my mother downsize from her home of 46 years to a condominium. What started as an exciting opportunity for her turned into a very difficult, emotional experience when the buyers began making unreasonable demands. I was grateful to have someone as experienced as the Gapen Team to help work us through the process. They helped her find a condo in the exact neighborhood she had been wanting, and then they sold her home quickly. Once moved, Jeff recommended quality contractors to help her with some cosmetic improvements on her new home. I would recommend the Gapen Team to anyone.-D Snyder

Jeff and Karen saved us! It is very difficult to empty out a parent's home from out of state. They linked us up with everything from hired workers, repair team, and jewelry appraisers. Once our part was done, Karen had the areas cleaned and staged for an estate sale. Never heard of a team going above and beyond like this. They sold our house fast as well. There really was nothing they could not do! - M. Landez

Extremely Responsive

Jeff Gapen has been my realtor for over 11 years. He has sold and helped me find three homes in that time. Jeff is professional and knowledgeable of the real-estate market and current trends. Jeff is extremely responsive to his clients needs. He works around his clients schedules and what is convenient for them. When I had any questions or concerns, Jeff was always available and provided answers in a timely manner. His partner and wife, Karen Gapen, has a great sense of style and is very creative. She assisted me with de-cluttering my home and staging it perfectly so that it would showcase well for my open house. My last home sold in one day! When it came time to finding a home, Jeff was very patient and took the time to research areas and homes that fit my criteria and preferences. He also did an outstanding job negotiating in order to get me the best price. When it comes to the legal aspect of the sale, Jeff is thorough and proficient. I would

Only Realtor I Would Even Consider
We listed a house with Jeff and purchased a house with Jeff. Jeff had our house sold within a matter of weeks and found us our dream home in the same time-frame. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and determined to find the perfect house for his clients at the right price. Jeff is the only realtor in the Louisville, KY area I would even consider and recommend!

An Expert
Jeff Gapen is very knowledgeable on preparing your house for the market, and pricing it appropriately. He is an expert in his field, with many years of experience. I highly recommend Jeff based on how quickly he sold our home.

Fantastic Realtor

Jeff Gapen is a fantastic realtor who helped us find the perfect house for our family. He helped us draft a winning proposal for a short sale, including guiding us through all the additional paperwork. Then after months of delays, which were in no way due to Jeff, he worked with us to withdraw our offer and submit an offer on another house. The sellers received multiple offers, but thanks to Jeff’s guidance our offer was accepted. We couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out. We will only use Jeff in the future and recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Hard Worker
Purchased a house and sold a house recently through Jeff. Very efficient and fair in all aspects. Would recommend him. Hard worker, provided several services that were probably above and beyond what could reasonably be expected from any other realtor.

Jeff is honest, helpful, and detail oriented. He has years of experience in new home construction and remodeling, which is a great asset for a realtor, his knowledge is invaluable. We bought our home from Jeff and he helped us visualize it's potential at the first showing. It is the perfect house for us. I highly recommend Jeff and his team to anyone in the housing market.

I loved working with Jeff and His wife they were so organized and helpful. They knew the area that i wanted and set up alot for us to see in a short amount of time and the 1st day we had picked the home we loved. They also priced my house very well and for more than i thought i would get but they did the comps and reviewed the area and we had no problems selling our home. Also the lender they recommended was amazing and very helpful. This was such an easy experience and would recommended using them to anyone!
