Rector Hayden Market Report for Fayette County Ky reveals a spike in sales coupled with a spike in listings. Still a good deal to be had. Sales have increased, even doubled in some price ranges but there is still more than six months inventory in almost all categories. Still a great buyers market.

I just picked up a contract for a buyer that was accepted without change by the sellers.
These first time buyers had tried twice to get a home that they liked but were not willing to pay what was close to the asking price. After doing the comps on both of the previous properties it was obvious they were not close to market price.
It was a long journey for my buyers but it was well worth it to see how excited they were to find their dream home at a reasonable price.
On more than one occasion I had a negative thought like "is this really going to work out?" This is the sixth buyer I have helped find a home in the past three months. They all had there challenges but in the end it is so rewarding to see people get a home for a fair price and with a reasonable payment.
I am still puzzled why any one would not want to buy a home right now. It is just so easy to afford the payments. This couple bought a 2500 square foot home for less than most of the 1200 square foot homes are renting.
I spent most of my day at the UK hospital. There is so much cancer in my family that the doctors keep watch on me like a cop using radar to catch speeders on the expressway.
The radar today was honed in on my esophogus. My father died of esophogal cancer so there is due cause for this regular visit.
The photos actually look better than the old ones if my memory serves me correctly. This is my first visit to the Good Samaritan part of the University of Kentucky hospital network. The doctor who did the procedure looked like a clone of Doogie Howser. What happened to the days when I was younger than my doctors?
Going to the hospital and getting a good report is a huge relieve for me and my family. I once read that married men live 7 years longer than single men. Not surprising. I almost always see the doctor either to please my wife or at my wife's pleading and encouragement.
Statistically we are told preventive medicine saves billions of dollars. Getting checked up is a better choice than just checking out and hoping we will be well.
I think preventive realtors need to have a similar frame of mind. I believe we need to constantly encourage each other to tell the truth to our sellers. I wonder if we had the courage to tell our sellers the truth if we could prevent so many overpriced homes and so many sellers from days and days of frustration? Yes, I often am a dreamer....
I love to help people discover what is really important to them in buying or selling. Knowing what is most important to my client allows me to serve them with all my heart and soul. I love people!
I am a realtor who is passionate about gardening. I am Lexington's Green Thumb Realtor Consultant.
I believe everyone has a natural inclination to want to grow their own food, to want to create their own natural beauty and to want to share that food and beauty with their community.
My passion for gardening can help sell your home, even if you have little or no interest in gardening. I have found creating a small organic garden or adding a couple of small trees to front of a yard or just accentuating the setting of your home can create interest and bring buyers.
I help my home buyers learn to garden. I give them tips, resources and continual encouragement.
I serve my community by doing everything possible to build trust with my neighbors, trust with my coworkers and trust with the community as a whole. I dedicate my time to building relationships. I believe with all my heart serving my fellow man is the most productive thing I can do to bettering our world.
I spend my time building relationships. It is my goal to make my clients so outrageously happy that they will want to introduce me to at least two people they really care about.
I also find that I am much more successful helping people buy and sell homes when I am able to build relationships with very successful people. Sandy Allnutt is one of those people in the Rector Hayden South family of realtors that I find super positive. She naturally cheers me on and I gain so much from that kind of positive feedback. Dorothy Lebar is another realtor in my office that always has an encouraging word. I am fortunate to work with such encouragers.

I was raised on an organic farm in North Idaho. I met my wife of 38 years at North Idaho College and we raised our children on a small organic farm in Woodinville Washington near Seattle. I also had the opportunity to teach for over 30 years as I farmed. As Lexington's Green Thumb Realtor Consultant I am blessed to be able to use my background to help clients gain an greater understanding of the value of gardening.
Please give me a call or send and email. 8596845890 pcampbell@rhr.com
I am continually learning all I can to serve my clients electronically. I recently completed the e-pro certification course.
My wife Kathy and I relocated to Lexington Kentucky just a year ago. We are so excited to be on a new adventure. Building relationships in our community is our first priorty. We were fortunate to purchase a home in the Gainesway subdivision and the sellers were gracious enough to accept a two week closing date. Knowing where we are settling gives us a sense of beginning to establish some roots. We have always lived near my workplace and had a huge garden. It is my goal to help buyers in Lexington find a home near their workplace and I am beginning to learn all I can about gardening in this microclimate.
I am passionate about caring for my community. I believe building strong, lasting lifelong relationships is what is brings joy and value to my life and the lives of the people of which I live, work, and play. I have experience the deep joy of celebrating life with friends, the deep sorrow of losing a beloved community member and the deep peace that comes in times of sorrow and joy knowing that there are family and friends in my community that care more about people than they do things.
As a first time homebuyer, my initial brush with realtors led me to believe "well, I guess this must be a necessary evil." When it became clear that our relationship with our current realtor wasn't working, my wife suggested we contact Paul.
From the beginning, he (Paul) made us feel very comfortable by not pressuring us to jump on this property or that property just to make a quick commission. In fact he was extremely patient as we dragged him from one place to the next as we continued to refine and redefine exactly what we were looking for, always encouraging us to take our time and not to offer unless "it really felt right."
When we finally found the right property, he had such a grasp of how to negotiate with the seller...we are very pleased with the price he ended up getting for us, and all the support he gave during the closing process. At all times we felt we were in very capable hands and never had cause to question any of his judgments. Peter
So in summary, we were delighted wo work with Paul and are very happy with the property he found for us. Peter Poirier
When you start the process of buying a home the wisest decision you can make is to work with Paul Campbell as your exclusive home buyer’s consultant.
Buying my first home was much like my first flight in an airplane. Boarding the plane and taking off was filled with moments of anxiety. The flight was smooth with a few bumpy spots. The landing brought a flood of relief and great joy.
Paul Campbell as my exclusive home buyer’s consultant navigated my home buying flight with clarity and integrity.
Paul listened to my needs, was available on my schedule and navigated me through the process as a teacher and consultant.
I am especially pleased with the negotiation process. At the last moment an investor offered the seller more than I was willing to pay. Paul never wavered on my price and miraculously the seller agreed to my price.
