Buying a Home in Louisville
Buyers Plan
Finding and purchasing a home that will meet your needs is a significant and often stressful time. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible. We are experts in the area, and once we learn what you’re looking for, finding your dream home is simple.
Before you start looking for a home you should ask yourself a few questions:
- Where do you want to live?
- Are there particular neighborhoods or communities that you like?
- What kind of house would you like (need)?
- Are you looking for a particular style?
- How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you want?
- Is a home office a necessity?
- Do you need a bonus room or flex-room?
- Do you entertain often?
- Is a home suitable for entertaining something you’re looking for?
- Do you want a yard, pool, gated or guard gated community?
- Have you determined your price range or consulted a lender to determine the best price range?
Searching for your dream home can be a time-consuming experience. Working with our professional team will make the process much more efficient!

"Our experience with Matt was great. He made a plan and executed it, allowing us to find the perfect home for our family. He has great knowledge of the area and market, and honestly advised us on neighborhoods, prices, and writing competitive offers. Even in a hot market, we found the right home without overpaying and below our budget. Great negotiating skills. We were able to see any house we wanted on very short notice, sometimes within a few hours of asking. The response time and support are unmatched. Matt also remained committed to our experience after our offer was accepted, walking us through each step through closing. The Oatley Team is professional, friendly, on your side, and makes the home buying experience exciting."

"The Oatley Team is the top choice for Louisville and surrounding areas! Laura and the Oatley team invested early in technology in order to provide instant responses, share information, and respond to customer needs. When I bought my first home, Laura was instantly responsive. When I called on her again to sell that home, she was professional, shared her market expertise in pricing, and invested in savvy advertising to sell quickly! I have referred many family members and friends to the Oatley Team for both buying AND selling homes, and everyone has been impressed with the customer service and fast results. Knowing your markets and serving customers is one thing, but the Oatley Team also knows how to move properties by taking advantage of the newest technology available. I would highly recommend the Oatley team!!"

"We have worked with The Oatley Team for 7 years and will continue to do so! Matt helped us find our first home 7 years ago and just helped us find our second home. He is really fun to work with, and treats you like you are his only client. We enjoy house hunting with him and trust that he will be honest with us. Great communication! We just recently worked with Laura to sell our house, and she made this a painless process. We took all of her advice on what to do to our house to sell it, and the very first person to look at the house bought it above asking! Also so great to work with. We couldn’t recommend The Oatley Team more!"

"Excellent buying experience with Matt Oatley. My family recommended The Oatley Team and they hit the target. Matt was really easy to get along with and prompt in every communication even when he was out of town. At one point I wanted to look at a few houses when he wasn’t available so he tracked down a peer that could stand in for him. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
He even educated me on a financing option that I’d never heard of. This isn’t the service you expect from a realtor, but its the type of service you get from Matt."
