Area One Realty

When we began our home hunting journey in Bardstown, my wife and I knew that a critical component for us to have a successful search began with the right Real Estate team. We did not want just anyone who knew the area, but someone whose professionalism, insight, and dedication to their craft would help us overcome our blind spots and enable us to secure the right property. We were referred to Mike and Kathy Ballard, and that is how we came to know the came to know the team at Area One. Sure enough, through Mike and Kathy's hard work and diligence, we have our dream home and are proud to call Kentucky our Home!

We went with Mike and Kathy to sell our home after recommendations from several friends. We tried to sell it ourselves first but quickly realized we didn't know what we were doing. Mike and Kathy came right away and helped us get our house on the market. We sold during COVID and we incurred many delays with appraisals and USDA approval for our buyers mortgage. During all of the delays, Mike kept in communication with us and assured us that we would get the house closed. None of the delays we unfortunately had to deal with were the fault of Mike or Kathy, yet when we were at risk of losing the rate lock on the house we were buying, they were willing to take care of the fees for us, even though we bought a for sale by owner place and did not use a realtor. This shows that they truly care ab

Wow, what a great experience we had with both buying and selling a home. Todd and Kara Hamilton represented us and made the experience so rewarding. Their professional yet personal touch gave us the piece of mind that we needed. They were responsive and available to answer any and all our questions down to the smallest detail. If your looking for competent and trustworthy agents, look no further. We highly recommend them to serve your home buying or selling needs.

I highly recommend Area One! Mike and Kathy were very helpful through the entire process. They offered suggestions and pointed us in the right direction in regards to getting our old house prepared for selling. Melissa was equally helpful and professional. Buying the new house was a smooth transition. I couldn't have asked for better realtors. I also appreciate their presence in the community

Mike and Kathy are knowledgeable, honest, patient and sincere. They took wonderful pictures and did a fabulous job when marketing my home. Mike informed me weekly of my home’s activity, as well as, feedback each time it was shown. Kathy patiently helped in our search of a new home and if she or Mike were unavailable Melissa addressed our wants and needs. I will always turn to Area One for all my real estate needs. Thank you Mike, Kathy and Melissa for all you did for us!
