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), Zack Chaykowsky (Buyer Specialist) and Sarah Key (Office Manager) 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!

We combined our past background in:

Sales, Marketing, Business, Management, and Entrepreneurial experiences to become Realtors

Keller Williams – Capital Realty June of 2014 to Present.

HortonTeam.com
Moved to Keller Williams, the largest real estate company in the U.S., to better serve our clients. At kw we receive our own sign/internet calls on all of our properties that are listed.
We want ALL the inquiries coming to us, because we know the most about the home. We do not want all of the incoming inquiries/calls forwarded to agents on “phone time” that might be brand new agents, or worse yet, experienced agents answering, who might/will steer buyers to their own listings.

ERA First Advantage Realty 2009 - 2014

During this time, we perfected all of our systems & procedures in selling homes for top dollar. We hired our first buyers agent, to service our sellers that were looking for a new home. Our last full year, we were in the top 10 listing agents for Newburgh & the top 40 for the Evansville/Newburgh area.

RE/MAX Services 2004 - 2009

Aside from our combined backgrounds in sales, marketing, business management, and entrepreneurship, as well as our agents’ diverse strengths and focus on their duties, the main difference between the Horton Team and other real estate agents is that we specialize in each aspect of the buying or selling process. We are directly involved in our business and the goals of our clients, whether they are buying, selling or both. The agent that tries to wear all of the hats is restricted in their time and ability, resulting in a much lower level of client service. We work hard so that we can be better agents, as we are constantly investing and training on new systems, procedures, marketing opportunities, and technologies to ensure a better experience and outcome for our clients.

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

    While other agents may lose track of your listing or buying interest, the Horton Team utilizes various programs and processes to stay on top of the tasks necessary to satisfy each client. Our task management systems ensure that we will provide you with optimal results in the shortest amount of time possible.

  • Sincere Listening and 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 and 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 over fifteen 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.
