I hate to brag. Well, that's not entirely true. Actually I love to brag about our wonderful market center at Keller Williams Realty Louisville East ! And we just found out some exciting news that gives us all something to brag about!
In just five short months, since opening our doors in March, we have risen to the TOP 7 in transaction sides in all of the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors!
This is truly a great honor, and gives our broker, Bradley Long, an automatic seat on the MSI board.
All of our hard work and dedication to be the best team of Realtors in town is paying off. Great work, Keller Williams Family!
We've taken The Shafer Team to the next level by hiring our first Buyer Representative!
Going through the typical "growing pains" when you reach this level in your career, we were feeling a little 
and decided we could really use some help.
After interviewing several great candidates, we're thrilled to introduce you to Eric Panknin, an agent with our market center at Keller Williams Realty Louisville East.
Eric has extensive sales background. He formerly worked for a successful team in Elizabethtown. Now living in Louisville, Eric can't wait to get started with our Team to work with our Buyer clients. Our clients will be drawn to his easy-going personality and genuine concern for their needs. And because he is a Keller Williams agent, we know he has been thoroughly trained in all aspects of real estate sales.
Welcome Eric ! We have every confidence in you.
Everywhere we go people want to talk about it: "What's going on in the housing market? Is it really as bad as the news reports say?"
The quick answer is NO, but we are definitely experiencing a buyer's market here in Oldham County, Kentucky (just north of Louisville).
According to the Louisville Multiple Listing System statistics, comparing single family home monthly sales in 2007 to monthly sales year-to-date in 2008, the average sales price fell from $288,664 to $270,749. The Listing-to-Sales ratio was 96.69% in 2007, and year-to-date this ratio has decreased to 95.73%. The average months of inventory has increased from 6.69 in 2007, and presently there are 12.46 months of inventory. This reflects how many months it would take to sell out of inventory at the current month's rate of sale. The average days on the market has gone from 87.3 days to 95.0 days.
So what strategy can we suggest if you want or need to move this Spring and Summer? The key is simple: Price it Right! Your home simply must be priced to move, and it must be in great shape. If your home outshines your competition and is priced just under your competition, it WILL sell.
Jacki and Jerry Shafer of The Shafer Team and Keller Williams Realty Louisville East are Oldham County residents specializing in Oldham County real estate sales.

We almost had to pinch each other to realize it was true! After many months of working with our laptops sitting on card tables and yelling into our phones over the sounds of sawing and drilling, our market center was finally transformed from tired old space in dire need of a facelift to a classy and welcoming place we can now call home!
KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY LOUISVILLE EAST is centrally located at 1230 South Hurstbourne Parkway on the east side of Louisville. From this location we have attracted the best of the best who have joined our forces who specialize all over the Louisville area (Jefferson County) as well as nearby Oldham and surrounding counties.
Realtors, home inspectors, bankers, and other well-wishers stopped by to help us celebrate at our open house.

"We couldn't have been any more pleased with the job that Jacki and Jerry and The Shafer Team did for us. They both went above and beyond! We cannot thank them enough."
Kurt and Julie Brandstetter
"You've heard the saying, 'TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK". Let us verify that the teamwork of Jacki and Jerry Shafer made our dream work! Their personal hands-on service and attention to detail are second to none. We could see right away that we were not just another buyer, but that Jacki and Jerry were committed to helping us make the wisest decision for our family. We have been to other closings that lasted hours. What a breath of fresh air it was to have a smooth closing with no surpirses due to the professionalism of the Shafer Team. It's true - teamwork DOES make the dream work. Choose the winning team of Jacki and Jerry Shafer."
Loren and Becky Oldham
"Jacki and Jerry helped our family through a very stressful move. My husband's job took him to Memphis, leaving me the 'trailing spouse'. Moving away from friends and church family was extremely difficult, and the move would have been almost unbearable had it not been for the care and compassion I felt from Jacki and Jerry. Not only are they true professionals, but they're not afraid to roll up their sleeves and do the hard work it sometimes takes to ensure a smooth closing. We have relocated six times, and this is the first time we hired a TEAM, getting TWO agents for the price of ONE. I see the value. Whether you're buying or selling, Randy and I highly recommend this team."
Randy and Linda Spiars
"I could not have asked for better agents to represent me. Their professionalism, courtesy and caring concern were but three assets they showed time and time again."
Susan Miracle
"Jacki and Jerry were a Godsend! Jerry's wealth of knowledge regarding home repairs, and Jacki's sweet personality and business savvy made them the perfect team! I just don't think it gets any better!"
Jeff and Jodi Goff
"I have known Jacki since my husband and I moved here in 1992. She helped us buy our Louisville home since retiring from the United States Air Force. Since Jerry joined her we have sold that home, and recently sold and bought again, using Jacki and Jerry to represent us. And we have referred them to family and friends and anyone who will listen! They make a wonderful team."
Julia and Joseph Mudd
"Jacki and Jerry are wonderful to work with! They are full service from the very first meeting all the way up to the closing. And their team is behind the scenes making sure nothing falls through the cracks. They truly care about their clients, and it shows in everything they do!"
