In July 2007 I created an innovative marketing approach to better serve the Louisville, Kentucky real estate market…an Online Open House narrated by me with still photos highlighting the particular home for sale, area, and neighborhood… a first for the Louisville, Kentucky real estate market. Buyers immediately get a feel for the home and know why the sellers love their house and its features.

Once the tour is complete I get maximum internet exposure to my client’s home using YouTube, Craigslist, Postlets, Google, and many, many more. In fact, one buyer wrote a contract after viewing the Online Open House without EVER viewing the home personally. The couple felt like they knew it already and loved the area. We closed 2 weeks after the home was listed…WOW!

The tours impressed HGTV’s executive producer Eve Falcon. In May 2008, Eve called to see if I would be interested in auditioning for “My House Is Worth What?” episodes in Louisville, Kentucky. Long story short I was selected and featured in November, December 2008 and January 2009 shows (Check on my website www.stephaniemattingly.com for full episodes).

And most recently three business reporters, two from the Louisville’s Courier Journal, Alex Davis and Bill Wolfe, and one from the Home Builders Association of Louisville featured me in articles related to my marketing expertise. Click on the following three links to view the full articles:

The year of 2008 is closing on us soon so without further a do I wanted to brag a little on our city’s “Lists” of accomplishments (I am not counting the Ryder Cup’s success however that puts the icing on the cake). While these “Lists” do not spell out all that Louisville has to offer or all of its accomplishments this year, it does give us some national recognition. So here goes:

• We Are Ranked 7th in the “Best Towns of 2008″ by Outside Magazine.

• We Are Among the “25 Best Cities For Raising a Family” by Best Life Magazine.

• We Are #1 “Most Livable City in America” (large city category) by the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

• We Are One of the “Most Improved Cities for Cycling” by Bicycling Magazine.

• We Are Among the 100 Best Communities for Young People.

• We Have the “Best Tasting Water in America” by the American Water Works Association which judged Louisville’s water “Best of the Best.”
• We Are One of the “Top 10 Underrated U.S. Cities” by Sherman’s Travels.
• We Are One of the “Top LOWEST Risk Metropolitan Markets for Foreclosure” by First American Core Logic quarterly report

If these recognitions have inspired you and you would like to learn more about Metro Louisville, Kentucky feel free to email me at stephaniemattingly@remax.net or call me on my cell at 502-751-3326.
