GORA: More than homes Since March REALTORS® brought over 700 families home in a time where home means more than ever before. Homes have become workstations, classrooms, and staycation destinations for all of us in the days of COVID-19. REALTORS® know how important home is. Trying to sell your house “For Sale by Owners” presents new liability and new challenges in the days of COVID-19. Our members have risen to the challenges and continue to set records for local homes sold. With the latest in technology, marketing, and negotiation power, REALTORS® are successfully navigating uncharted territory for our clients. But we are about more than homes. We volunteer behind the scenes at area non-profits to help build a better community. We advocate for policies that alleviate barriers to home ownership.

cooperate with a network of experts to encourage professionalism and service from preapproval to the closing table. We have all been asked, “Is now the time to sell or buy?” With record sales in June 2020, our answer is an emphatic, “Yes!” The next question we get is, “Where do I start?” That is why we created OwensboroMLS.com. At OwensboroMLS.com, you can browse over 200 local REALTORS® and almost 100 affiliates alongside all the properties available in our MLS. It is a one-stop-shop for real estate in our five-county area. Most of all, we would say again, “Don’t try to do it alone.” Your home is the largest financial investment you will make in your lifetime. Trust the experts. Whether in paradise or pandemic, let us bring you home. #GetREALTOR
