We’re very happy with our experience

We've thoroughly enjoyed having Karen Haug as our realtor. She's very knowledgeable and has had a lot of patience with us - which we have really appreciated - throughout the process of preparing to list and in selling.

Upstanding people and great business!

Buying with Sell 4 Free was the best decision we made in the whole process of moving to southern Indiana. Andy and Brenda are as connected as anyone in Jasper. They have a great understanding of the market and what to anticipate with each particular house.

One of the easiest experiences I have been involved with

I can't say enough about the speed, ease, and professional nature of my home buying experience. My hat's off to Andy and the Sell 4 Free team.

Andy was terrific to work with.

Andy was terrific to work with. He guided our transition very well. We could not have been happier with the end result.

Working with Andy Welsh was truly an amazing experience!

Andy is also able to spot most potential issues that should be negotiated during the sales/offer process. Within two weeks he found the exact property I was looking for!!

I would highly recommend Andy to anyone and in fact have several times!!

Andy is the first and only person I would call.

There is no question if we ever need to buy or sell real estate again Andy is the first and only person I would call.

Sold our home in under 2 weeks

Andy Welsh was great to work with in selling our home. How could I have anything bad to say when he sold our home in under 2 weeks?

I would recommend her to family and friends always

Karen takes the stress out of the searching and buying process. She often gave up time on Saturdays and short notice to meet our needs. I would recommend her to family and friends always.
