Our Story
In 2004 John and Kristi Horton combined their backgrounds in sales, marketing, business, management, and entrepreneurship and became realtors at RE/MAX Services in Evansville, Indiana. After spending five years at RE/MAX, the Hortons moved their business to ERA First Advantage Realty in Newburgh, Indiana. Soon after becoming the top producing agents in the office, gaining more knowledge of the industry, and reaching high ranks in the Newburgh and Evansville areas for real estate, the Hortons moved their business to Keller Williams, the largest real estate company in the United States. This move was made with their clients' best interests in mind—under Keller Williams policy, all incoming calls are directed to our team. This means that clients can trust that any inquiries about their home will go straight to the team that knows the most about your house and not a front desk receptionist or another agent who may try to steer them away to other properties listed for sale.
The Horton Team has since brought on Kristi Raben (New Construction / Buyer Specialist), Matthew Parker (Buyer Specialist / Technology Lead) and Chandler McBride (Transaction Coordinator) to continue better serving their clients. The Horton Team also uses virtual assistants to help create an organized and creative presentation of every home the Horton Team works with. With a dynamic team composed of talented specialists competent within a wide range of fields, the Horton Team is capable of handling any transaction with the professionalism and care needed to provide you with the best possible buying or selling experience in the five southwestern Indiana markets of Gibson, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh, and Warrick County.
"We're so proud of our real estate team for making the distinguished list of REAL Trends top agents in Indiana! Thank you to all of our past clients, friends, and family for helping us meet this great accomplishment. We're looking forward to ranking even higher next year!"

How Do You Build This Success?
Through the combined efforts of our diverse team, we’re able to meet the criteria of all home buyers or sellers in terms of personality and team specialties. Some of these characteristics include:
Superior Familiarization with our Markets
We constantly analyze the local markets, pulling statistics associated with neighborhoods, subdivisions, and pricing points to better understand the market and communicate with our buyers and sellers. No agents know more about the local markets than the Horton Team.
Desire To Follow Through
If we say we will do something, we will do it. We back up this guarantee with an easy-out clause—if you are ever unhappy with our services, simply withdraw your listing or interest in working with us. You are not bound by a six month listing agreement or loyalty agreement to shop with our buyer agent.
Organization
We run every transaction with clear systems and consistent communication. From the first conversation to closing day, details are tracked, timelines are managed, and next steps are clearly defined. Paperwork and follow-ups are handled proactively so clients always know what’s happening next.
Sincere Listening & Advising
Instead of simply saying what you want to hear, we offer the best advice specific to your needs and concerns. During our walkthrough or consultation of your listing or home preference, we will ask as many questions as necessary to fully understand your buying or listing aspirations.
Team of Licensed Agents
When you choose to work with the Horton Team, you receive the advice and skill sets of MULTIPLE experts for the price of one. We each specialize in our own fields of expertise, creating a system and environment guaranteed to deliver the optimal customer experience throughout the entire buying or selling process.
Honesty & Credibility
We will always be honest and upfront with you. Our reputation with clients and fellow real estate agents is critical. We use a team format to guarantee the best results—this means we work to find you the best prices or offers in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of hassles.
The Horton Team is your expert solution to all things realty, whether it’s unique insight on pricing strategy, financing options, marketing, home staging, recommendations on updates or improvements, and everything in between. Contact us today to learn more about buying or selling your Newburgh or Evansville home in Warrick or Vanderburgh County.
Communication
Our number one customer service priority is to keep you adequately informed at all stages of the buying and selling processes. We pride ourselves on the commitment to communication we strive for in every stage of the transaction. Although we may have many buyers or listings that are active or under contract at one point in time, we treat each client as if they were our only one. We take your wants and needs into account when tailoring our communication methods to you. While there are certain occasions or items that may require face-to-face discussion, we keep in contact with clients via email, text, and phone call several times per week on a regularly scheduled basis. Using our task manager programs, we will keep you up to date on items such as showing feedback, snapshots of the current market, statistics on your home's online viewing activity, upcoming transaction steps, and many more updates associated with marketing and selling your home. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, we are always just a phone call away. You can reach us anytime by calling 812-518-0411 to talk or schedule an appointment.
Real Estate Expert Advisors
The Horton Team focuses their real estate business in five counties in southwestern Indiana, which include Gibson, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh, and Warrick County. We advise our clients on all parts of their buying or selling process while making note of your goals. Every client wants to receive the most value (either through buying or selling) in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of hassles. It’s our job and desire to help our clients achieve those goals. With 20+ years of experience as real estate agents, we have the expert skill set to properly advise you and help you accomplish these goals.
Marketing Pros
If you shop the area, you’ll see that no other real estate agents market their houses as much as we do. While this does expose your house to the most amount of buyers possible, advertising alone doesn't sell the house—it still boils down to location, price, condition, and your competition. We make use of several tools to get your home in front of buyers and other agents; some of these include creating your own single property page, retargeting with internet advertising, and recording virtual 3D tours of your home with our Matterport Pro 3D camera, a technology similar to Google Earth that allows prospective buyers to take a virtual tour of your home. To see this technology first-hand, visit our list of current listings.
Buyer and Listing Specialists
When it comes down to it, the difference between the Horton Team and other real estate agents is our level of personalized commitment. Rather than handling all clients at once, we use a team format to designate roles—this frees up our time and allows us to specialize in one field. This ensures that your listing or preferences as a buyer will be handled by a specialist who is dedicated to your needs. As a seller, you can be assured that we will make ourselves available to market, show, and sell your home when a buyer wants to view it. Spreading job responsibilities among our team members generates the greatest value for the client, but our team ethics go beyond financial gains. We’re committed to finding you more than just a house or selling your current one. We’re committed to finding a home where you can build your forever memories or new owners for the house where you first made yours.
THIS IS THE Best Team to sell or buy a home. We used them to buy and sell 55 homes in the tri-state area! THANKS Horton Team. Last home on market 12 hours. Full price!
Couldn't be happier. They took on a challenging job and came though with flying colors.
All the staff with the Horton Team are amazing. They are so knowledgeable about the market. They stay in communication and are always willing to answer questions. I wouldn’t use anyone but them.
