Hahn Kiefer Real Estate Services provides residential real estate guidance throughout Indiana and Kentucky.
You need someone who understands how to match your household needs with actual properties available in Indiana and Kentucky, not just listings that look appealing online. Whether you are buying your first home, selling a property you have outgrown, or relocating for work, the process involves legal paperwork, pricing analysis, and coordinating inspections that require attention to detail and local market knowledge.
Hahn Kiefer Real Estate Services works with buyers and sellers across Indiana and Kentucky to handle the steps between initial interest and closing day. This includes property searches based on your criteria, comparative market analysis to set realistic pricing, scheduling showings, negotiating offers, and coordinating with lenders, inspectors, and title companies. You receive guidance through each phase without being pressured into decisions that do not align with your goals or budget.
If you are considering buying or selling residential property in Indiana or Kentucky, reach out to discuss your situation and timeline.
What Happens Between Your First Call and Closing
The work begins with a conversation about what you need from a property or what you hope to gain from selling your current home. For buyers, this means identifying must-haves such as school districts, commute times, square footage, and yard space. For sellers, it involves reviewing recent sales in your neighborhood, assessing your home's condition, and determining a listing price that reflects current market activity in Indiana or Kentucky.
Once you move forward, showings are scheduled at times that work for you, and feedback is collected after each visit. For sellers, this means staging recommendations, listing photography, and open house coordination. For buyers, it means narrowing options based on what you actually see in person, not just photos. After an offer is accepted, inspections are arranged, financing is confirmed, and any required repairs or credits are negotiated before closing documents are signed.
You stay informed throughout the process with regular updates on offer status, inspection results, and closing preparation. The goal is to remove confusion and keep each step moving without unnecessary delays. This service does not include property management or commercial real estate transactions, which require separate agreements and licensing.
Questions That Come Up Before You Start
Most people have practical concerns about timing, costs, and what they are expected to do during the buying or selling process. The following answers address the most common questions that come up before working together.
How long does it take to sell a home?
The timeline depends on your home's condition, pricing, and local market activity. Most properties in Indiana and Kentucky that are priced accurately and show well receive offers within four to six weeks.
What should I look for during a home showing?
You should pay attention to the condition of the roof, foundation, plumbing fixtures, electrical outlets, and HVAC system. Walk through each room, open closets, test doors and windows, and ask questions about anything that looks worn or outdated.
What costs should I expect when buying a home?
You will need to budget for a down payment, closing costs, home inspection fees, appraisal fees, and potential repairs identified during inspection. Your lender will provide a detailed estimate before closing.
When is the best time to list a property?
Spring and early summer typically bring the most buyer activity, but listing at other times can work if your home is priced well and marketed effectively. Local conditions in Indiana and Kentucky also influence timing.
What happens if an inspection finds problems?
You can negotiate with the seller to complete repairs, request a credit toward closing costs, or adjust the purchase price. If the issues are significant, you may also have the option to withdraw your offer depending on contract terms.
