Went the extra mile. Made extra trips, jumped through hoops, and made our deal happen. Would use again if we ever buy/sell. Military vet also. Thank you for your service!
Amazing, friendly, very knowledgable people. I wanted to buy something that I could afford without going broke. Barry was with me every step of the way. He and Shirley have both made me feel like family not just a customer. I will recommend to everyone I know.
Barry and Shirley Carr are the most caring people I know. They have gone way above and beyond help my family get the home of our dreams. I highly recommend them for your real estate needs
We PCSed here from North Carolina in mid-October 2019 and committed to buying a house two weeks before we moved.My wife flew to KY and looked at the house. When first looking at the house she asked about the big ugly wood advertising sign in the front yard. and was told we could remove it after we own the place. I'm a 3D sign maker so it was important to me. They said they could negotiate an early entree if needed because the owner of E town reality and the seller had been friends for 25 years. Two weeks before our closing I asked our realtor about early entry negotiations and eventually, he offered to find me and kill me. Everyone told me to stop at that point and call the police but I just laughed it off.My wife and I had been living in our RV at a campground with a dog, rabbit and a bird for 2 weeks to get this house and I just wanted it over. After our realtor called and threatened me he called my wife and told her to "shut me up"My wife then told our realtor, when this was over we would write a review that reflects the experience we had with E town reality.I'm guessing they were never going to let us in the house early because what if I cut the sign down and get in trouble before closing. Three weeks into this sale at the closing table, in the title search office we still had not been told about the title search. At that point, I asked about the sign again and the listing agent of E town reality said to cut it down. The seller then said it was a verbal contract and there were no easements. The title office said since nothing was in writing, I could get rid of it.At that point, the owner of e town reality went as far as to say we could sell advertising on the sign ourselves and make money. Most likely a Felony. Less than two weeks after closing I contacted a surveyor for a dog fence. In the first phone call, I told him I did not want to pay to locate the sign and that I would cut it down before he surveyed. The next day he emailed me and said that he found an easement on file for the sign and DON'T CUT THE SIGN DOWN.I didn't email him back so he called to warn me. I thought the surveyor was lying to me and I hung up on him.My first thought was the surveyor was friends with the guy who owned the sign. ? I knew someone had to be lying for this to be happening, I just was not sure who at that time. I saved the email he sent me. I called the title search office and told them what the surveyor told me and initially, they apologized for the "mistake" ? three times and saying "we missed it" but had to get off the phone to call their lawyer.Like a fool, I thought the call to the lawyer was to help me.The title service called the next day and said it wasn't their job to tell us about the easement. I told him I asked about the easement at the closing table in his building. I waited for a reply and he said: "who did your closing"? I told him and he said the person that did our closing for him, was a "contract employee" and did not work for them. I replied that she did not work for me. I then asked him if I needed a lawyer and he said "go ahead and get you a lawyer buddy" and hung up on me. The seller cried the whole time she sat at the closing table. The whole time.It was odd.Then out of the blue, the owner of E town reality said she was crying over the sale of her house. The seller, E town reality and the Bluegrass title search person all told my Wife and myself " There are no recorded easements you can cut the sign down" I now know, cutting the sign down would have been a felony act. They had to of worked out what they were going to say at the closing table for this to happen the way it did. If one of them told the truth none of it would have worked.The seller's signature is on the 70-year easement. They could have told us about the title defect before we ever left North Carolina.Bluegrass title service sent us our deed in the mail and it still had no mention of the easement. No property description at all.We left a review for E town before we found out about the easement trick and they were able to get it taken down.The next day our realtor called my wife a 3AM. She didn't answer but saved a screenshot. These are two Elizabethtown businesses working together to withhold information from us, that we are asking for, in order to sell us a house. My wife and I could have never done this to anyone. The house we just moved from we bought from a friend and we fought with the neighbors for ten years over a driveway easement. We told them about it at the closing table while we were being tricked into another easement.E town reality showed my wife other houses for sale. If we had been told about the easement we would have bought one of them.The way they did it makes me think we are not the first.Barry, the owner E town reality was the listing agent and Nick was our realtor. Nick works for E town reality.
Barry took great care of us and was super easy to work with. He did not pressure us at all and we had a ton of fun searching for and finding our new home! HIGHLY recommend!!!
The greatest realty company there is. They showed concern and took the time to handle any issues. Barry and Shirley are exceptional individuals and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Not enough words can describe how great this woman is! She was always readily available and easily accessible at any time! She helped us sell our home with ease! Best agent ever! Thank you for everything!
Shirley Carr is a dedicated and patient realtor. We started our home buying process in the FT Knox area in early February from California. She listened to what we were looking for and picked a line up of houses for us to look at. We traveled to the area in late March for a week; during that time, she spent all day everyday letting us drag her from house to house. When we finally found the one we wanted, she advised us during negotiations and worked to get the deal we were comfortable with. Since we had to travel back to California, Shirley continued to be our representative as corrections were done on the home. She ensured the contract requirements were being fulfilled and truly put our minds at ease. After the closing, she continued to help us here and there until we were able to make the move.She is truly one of a kind and I wholeheartedly give her my 5 stars.
Thanks to Tammy Huff, I will be spending Easter in my new home! She worked incredibly fast, and we closed in less than 3 weeks! Thank you so much Tammy!!!
Tammy Huff found us a great house, at a great price, in little time. We are highly satisfied with her services, and will use her again. I was happy with her assistant and the help with all the follow up calls and the fact that she could schedule a showing for me so fast. Great realtor.
I could write a book of all the wonderful things weve experienced with Tammy as our Realtor but I will keep it short. If your looking for a realtor that will stand beside you and be there all the way to the end she is it! The market is crazy right now and the buying process can be chaotic but every step of the way she eased our minds. She went above and beyond for us when we put our offer in, had the paperwork done in record time and made sure we were always informed. If we had any questions she was always there to answer them. She played a huge part in this chapter of our lives and I couldnt have asked for anyone better! Anyone could have sold us a house, she found us a Home.
Shirley not only sold my home, but helped me purchase my new home. She is awesome. She made the sell and purchase of my homes very seamless. She is definitely the right realtor!
Barry & Shirley are the perfect realtors! They have the patience of Job and went way above and beyond to ensure the sell went smoothly from beginning to closing. They are highly professional and have many years of valuable experience that put them way above the 5 star level. Thanks for EVERYTHING!
I was planning a move across the states and came across a house on zillow in which the response led me straight to Tammy. She immediately responded despite it being a late night. I explained how I wanted to buy a house but everything would need to done before I physically got in KY. We talked a little over an hour (which was a reoccuring thing in which I appreciated every time as shes very helpful and detailed), everything from the lending process in which she suggeated an amazing lender to me to the surrounding areas to jobs and even some personal examples she shared about her home buying experience. She did thorough walk throughs of the houses we chose all via Facetime Video. She went over every little detail and even critiqued the smallest of problems in case it would be a red flag for us. When it came to putting in an offer, she immediately got on to the negotiation. What I asked for wasnt accepted immediately but ahe reassured me to give it time and shes positive she can make it happen. And she did! Once we landed in KY she met up with us and did another walk through. Not only did she suggest a great lender in the beginning but also one of the fastest inspectors who had an eye for details, after that came back more negotiation took place and she was on the ball, all hours of the night making things happen! I have since referred others to her and shes done nothing but live up to mone and their expectations.
Barry and Shirley Carr are caring individuals and wonderful real estate agents. They assisted me recently in buying my first home. They went above and beyond far more than any other realtor I have every conducted or tried to conduct business with. Over and over they made sure I was satisfied and that we were given accurate and up to date information. The process was easier than I thought it would ever be. They made buying my first home more than a dream come true, they made it a reality! I recommend them to anyone who needs a realtor for ANY real estate need. Just can't sing their praises enough!!!
They are very professional, very knowledgeable, very helpful. very Accessible, and easy to communicate with. I would recommend these people to anyone who listen. I cannot say enough good things about Barry and Shirley
Very kind and caring people! They will go out of their way to find what your looking for and help you throughout the whole process! Also they are flexible and will work around your schedule.
Barry and Shirley are the best realty company we have ever dealt with. They are very prompt, helpful and informative. I would recommend them over anyone else. Thank you for all the hard work.
Barry and Shirley were an outstanding resource in helping us to make a decision about whether to purchase an existing home or build a new one. Their overall knowledge of the market was excellent. We ultimately elected to build in a development that they presented to us. They were also instrumental in helping us to find the right builder for our needs. One big plus that Barry and Shirley had from the outset was they made contact with me within 30 min after i inquired about a house. Other realtors that I have spoken to took more than a week to respond. They also helped us navigate the sale of our existing home. Bottom line is I have already recommended them to several friends who expressed interest in selling their home.
We started our journey wanting to build a homeaEUR| Lot locations and many blueprints were providedaEUR| We visited finished just built housesaEUR| THEN we began to look for homes for sale! There was never a moment when we felt that we were being an inconvenience or wasting valuable time. When we found the home that we fell in love with, we visited it several times before closingaEUR| And it was never a problem. The entire process was explained to us several times and some of the process was even completed after dinner hours! I could not imagine the process of buying a home being any more than the pleasurable experience it was if it was not for the wonderful people who guided us on our journey!
Great to work with. Very pleasant and professional. Made our experience easy and fun. I highly recommend Barry and Shirly Carr. Give them a call to find your dream home and all your real estate needs.
Barry and Shirley were a pleasure to work with as we searched for a new home to suit our special needs. Always friendly and willing to help, their prompt service created a smooth transition from our current home to our next home. I highly recommend them.

Barry and Shirley Carr are excellent agents. Their company would be an assets to individuals looking to buy a home quickly, professionally, and with wrest negiotting skills. Barry and Shirley help my and husband and family buy our first home. We were new to Kentucky with the US Army. I found a home online for over $400,000 but purchase for less. We have been in our home for about 4 years. I love my home. It is a dream and forever home. My master bed room area has its own wing. The house is a new construction. The Carrs negiotated everything. Things we did not expect such as paint color, appliances, and window treatment. In closing, we love our dream home and Shirley and Barry Carr.
Barry and Shirley Carr are the best realtors that I have every had the experience of working well. They are both extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market, and are pleasant to work with. I would recommend this couple for your next real estate deal. They are the best in town. 5 Stars
Shirley Carr did a great job for me. I was living in North Carolina, looking to move to Kentucky for cheaper cost of living. Shirley guided me to a loan officer and proceed to help me along the way. Shirley videoed and downloaded the video for me so I can get a look at inside and outside of house while I was in NC. She answered all my questions and concerns with respect. She drove a 1 hour and 30 minutes round trip after settlement to make sure everything was ok and kept check on me from time to time because I was new in the area which I appreciated. I am now living in peace with great neighbors, many thanks to Shirley for going above and beyond for me. I would certainly and highly recommend Shirley and Barry to help you find the home you want.
Barry & Shirley listed and sold our home. Their recommendations regarding the listing price and marketing strategy led to a quick & smooth sale. I highly recommend Barry & Shirley, their knowledge of the real estate market coupled good advice delivered in a polite & friendly manner makes working with them a pleasure.
My husband and I were looking for a new home in Kentucky while still living in Iowa. When we came and met Barry and Shirley, it was instantly like reuniting with old friends. They are so friendly and very knowledgeable about the whole area and all the properties. Any questions we had they answered quickly and professionally. I feel blessed to have had them as our professional realtors and to continue to have them as friends. If we ever need a realtor again, it will be Barry and Shirley Carr.
Shirley did an awesome job working with us to find a home in the Fort Knox, KY area. We moved to Fort Knox and I deployed shortly after. It took a number of months for us to find the right place but she was always a phone call or an email away to happily answer questions for my wife and I. Shirley and her husband Barry were helpful throughout the process with good local information and tips also. No doubt I will recommend her in the future to anyone looking to buy a home.
