Client Testimonials

John and Natalie Harris

We were so fortunate to have found Joe Hayden when we moved to Louisville. As our Realtor, he helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. He was patient as we traveled from Ohio to look at homes over several months and cautioned us about making unreasonable offers when we fell too quickly for overpriced homes.

In short, he was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Joe was that he was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than he was on closing a deal. We would recommend him to anyone.

Throughout my adult years, I have had the experience of purchasing a few different houses. As my family began to grow, I recently found the need and desire to purchase a larger home. I spoke to a variety of different realtors that showed me a variety of homes until I found Mike Gibson. When making such a large decision, I wanted to work with someone that I could trust.

Throughout the past several months, Mike has been there every step of the way. He has always answered every call or email no matter what time of day or night it was. His professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. I never felt that he was just trying to sell me a house, but that he was a mentor to answer my questions and help me to make the best decision for my family.

I now consider Mike a friend and would highly recommend him to anyone that is searching for a new home. Thanks again to Mike Gibson and the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team for being such a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I recently used Laura Wheeler with the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team for the sale of our house in Oldham County. We found Laura to be exceptionally fun to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and she was "on it" when it came to any requests we had. She showed our home more than any other agent and the house sold within 45 days! Her expertise in staging the home was a tremendous help and we thoroughly enjoyed working with their team!!! We would recommend Laura Wheeler and the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team to anyone and if we need an agent again, it WILL be them!

I purchased thru the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team last month and wanted to tell you how great it was to work with Frank Campbell. He was just the person I was looking for to help me make a great educated decision on the largest investment in my life time, my new home. Frank was always on time and understood my likes and dislikes right off the bat. Even after the sale when the previous owners moved out they left their above ground pool, which they where contracted to take. Being that they had moved to Colorado, Frank offered to take care of problem himself. So last weekend we got together, tore down the pool and discarded it appropriately. Frank even got dirty and didn't mind at all, and that to me speaks a lot of his character.

Thank you all for your business and providing great service for me plus I made a friend in the process.

PS - Your website is great! It's how I learned about your real estate office.

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Craig Greenwell. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. We met with a couple of realtors before Craig, but we knew instantly that he was the one for us. He is honest and hands-on (he even crawled into creepy attics to check insulation for us!), and he really helped to take the pressure off of us.

We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the "one" and ended up in a bidding war, Craig walked us through every step of the negotiations, even suggesting that we write a letter to the sellers to explain why we thought they should choose us. It was an unconventional approach but it worked and we thank Craig for that every day! We have several friends looking for homes and thinking about selling, and we always recommend Craig to them!

Ruben Gonzalez

It was a pleasure to work with Meg Wilburn. A very kind person, helping us with a lot of time and dedication to get the house that we were looking for and not a house to buy quick. It took several houses to go around looking at the good and the bad and we didn't get the pressure with her to get a home which wasn't the right one for us. She always was trying to be sure that we were buying "our house".

Once we found it, she took care of every single detail with the seller's Realtor to complete all paperwork, inspections and any requests to the sellers.

We are enjoying our house and we have only a big thanks to her because she was on our side at all times and we got "our house".

Joe Hayden is a very professional real estate agent who listened to our specific wants and needs. Since we are from out of town, his knowledge about East Louisville and Oldham County area was most helpful. I needed handicap accessibility which is hard to find, and Joe did not waste our time looking at property that had no potential to meet my requirements. We highly recommend for all your real estate needs.

Jerry T.

My new home purchase was made pain-free thanks to Joe Hayden. I was looking for a specific kind of property with acreage, and he searched the Metro Louisville area for suitable showings. We looked all around Crestwood and J-Town. His experience and professionalism quickly revealed a few places that we reviewed, then inspected. Joe knows the Louisville area market very well, and steered me away from a few lemons. I highly recommend him and will only use his expertise on any and all real estate jobs I have in the future. He is trustworthy, hard-working, intelligent, and a good listener (he asks many questions to totally understand your needs).

Ryan Diaz

My wife and I used Laura Wheeler from the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team to purchase our house. She was always willing to go above and beyond her responsibility to assist us with our AMAZING purchase!!!!!! She is a positive reflection of The Joe Hayden Real Estate Team and what buying a home should be about. I would recommend Laura and The Joe Hayden Real Estate Team to anyone who wanted to buy house. Even to decorate your new home if needed.

Don Price

As we were planning a relocation from California to Kentucky I began searching for an agent on-line. Mike Gibson promptly responded to an email request for information. Shortly thereafter we flew into town with only five days to find our new home and start the offer process. Mike was absolutely fantastic! He devoted a solid four days to helping us in the search, getting houses opened and guiding us all over the Louisville area. His understanding of the current market as related to specific neighborhoods was invaluable, certainly saving us time.

By the end of the week we had selected our new home and were making an offer. Our experience with Mike didn’t end there though. While back in California Mike remained an essential part of our team guiding us through a long distance home purchase. Mike’s wisdom, patience and perseverance truly made the difference. I can’t say enough in recommending Mike as an agent.

Christina and Bobby W.

Our family can honestly say that we were completely satisfied with the services we received through Joe Hayden and his entire team. From the beginning, we were impressed with his personal approach, professionalism, attention to detail, and hard work.

Mel Gray

To Mike Gibson and the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team, I can't thank you enough for the assistance and guidance you provided during my recent home purchase. You and the rest of the team were professional, informative, responsive and patient during EVERY step of the process. I always felt comfortable that you had my best interest at heart. You made a potentially difficult process relatively easy. Mike truly has the "heart of a teacher", and gained my full trust during this process. If I ever have any future real estate needs in this area, you will be the first person I contact. Thanks again...

Mike Roberts

My wife and I have spent the past 12 years working in the Louisville area real estate market during which time we've met so many real estate agents. Joe Hayden is one of the very best and has the heart of a teacher. Joe's team is who we chose to sell our own home, and we would highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home in the Louisville area.

Mary Ann Jacobs

Laura Wheeler has been our agent when we sold 2 houses. Kudos to her - she is absolutely fabulous. The first house had been listed with another agency and when the listing expired Laura took over. It sold in a few weeks. She is superb at staging the property and has a terrific personality. I honestly cannot praise her enough.

Ivey Thornton

Craig Greenwell was the strongest possible advocate for the sale of my house. Not only was he attentive and thorough in addressing my wishes and concerns regarding the listing and showings, he got personally involved with helping me move out when the house finally sold!

He knows how to go above and beyond in making sure everything is done appropriately, and most of all, he is a man of integrity, whom you can trust. This was especially important for me, since I lived out-of-state. He is the BEST real estate agent I have ever worked with!

Ben Johnson

Our buyer's agent, Frank Campbell, was always courteous and professional. He put forth the effort to help us find our first home, including making himself available on nights and weekends to show us listings that we were interested in. Our mortgage lender's representative was a bit difficult to deal with and Frank handled it very well without losing his positive attitude or his kind demeanor.

Once we found our home, the seller's agent was quite slow to communicate during the buying process, sometimes not responding to us for several days at a time. Frank did what he could to keep forward momentum in the process without hounding them. Everyone has their own style when it comes to dealing with uncooperative people, and Frank's style is to maintain a certain degree of space in order to keep things from turning hostile. Other buyers who are looking for an "attack dog" agent will not likely not find it with Frank, but we were pleased with him and would work with him again. He's a really nice fellow.

Jeanne Michaels

I want to thank Mike Gibson for handling the purchase of my patio home in Louisville, KY.  He was a professional in all steps that had to be taken to get the purchase accomplished. As this was the first time I’ve bought a home on my own, his expertise was greatly appreciated.

I will be glad, at any time, to refer Mike and/or the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team to anyone who is seeking a home in the area.

Jake Shaver

We were very fortunate to have worked with Mike Gibson through our first home buying experience! He was kind, thoughtful and informative throughout the entire process and we couldn't have asked for anything more! We're now in our new place and couldn't thank Mike enough for all of his hard work! I would recommend Mike and the entire Joe Hayden Real Estate Team to anyone!

Evan Weingarten

Mike Gibson of the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team assisted me and my fiance in the purchase of our first home. We had one of the lowest budgets around and he still had all the patience in the world. He always helped point out the things that we would not like about certain houses and never hesitated to answer questions honestly. It was obvious Mike was not with us to make "a quick buck." He was always available to look at houses the day we were available and never ever rushed any decisions. I would never recommend anyone other than Mike and the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team!!!

David L. Daugherty

We have experienced Mike Gibson's professionalism and his sincere desire that our new home selection was the best to be found. Mike guided us through all appropriate procedures to insure a timely and correct closing. After having dealt with a number of real estate agents whose sole motivation was to collect a commission irrespective of the client's real needs, it is refreshing to know that professionalism still does exist within the real estate industry.

Jared Grant

We had a fantastic experience with Mike Gibson from the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team!! From start to finish, Mike was extremely considerate of our needs. He made himself available 24/7. The process was painless and efficient. Thank you Mike for getting me into my first home!!

Steve Coy

Although an agent with another realtor found the condo I eventually purchased, she or her team did not follow up when I requested to see the property on more than one occasion. Mike Gibson contacted me and hit the ground running. With his assistance the seller accepted our bid, but several hitches developed due to the inspection process none of which were the problem of Mike or the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team. Mike stuck with me and helped me navigate the land mines aided by his substantial experience which ended in a very satisfactory experience.

Jake & Katie Walz

My wife and I are very pleased with our new home. Everything went very smoothly. I want to thank Mike Gibson of the Joe Hayden Real Estate Team for making this such an easy experience! He did a great job of showing us houses that met our "must haves" and "prefers" list. We really appreciate all the great guidance he gave us in making an offer and going through the contract process. And we're appreciative of Mike for taking care of all the inspection and other issues. Mike was easy to work with and very quick and professional in acting on our behalf.

Natalie Moran

Mike Gibson has been a wonderful and insightful Realtor and friend to me during this process. This was my first time purchasing a home and I was very uneasy about the whole process. Thankfully, through support of my family and Mike I was able to find the house for me. During the process, Mike had to put up with my stubbornness and determination (to find that perfect house) while we looked at a handful of houses. There were times that I was about to walk away from the deal and Mike's encouragement opened my eyes and I was shown the reality of the situation (which was never as big as I made it out to be).

I want to thank Mike (and his family) for all of his time and efforts in finding me a house for me. I am now happy and settled in a place I can call my own! Mike is a wonderful person and I am honored to have been able to work with him in this milestone of my life. I recommend Mike to anyone looking for a home because I know that he will be honest and open about the good and the bad. Thank you Mike for being there for me and putting up with my stress!
