How many real estate agencies serve Elizabethtown?

The Heart of Kentucky Association of REALTORS lists roughly 160 member offices across its territory, though only a fraction are based in Elizabethtown itself. This page covers the Elizabethtown-based offices we were able to verify against that roster in October 2026.

Does it cost more to use a larger brokerage?

Not inherently. Commission is negotiated per transaction rather than set by brand, and since the 2024 changes to how buyer agency is compensated, buyers agree their agent's fee in writing up front. Ask any agency directly what they charge and what the agreement covers. A brokerage that will not answer that clearly is telling you something.

Should I choose the brokerage or the individual agent?

The agent, in almost every case. The brokerage sets the tools, the marketing reach and the referral network, but your experience comes down to the person handling your transaction. Within a large market centre, experience varies widely. Use the brokerage to narrow the field, then interview the agent.

What is the Elizabethtown market doing right now?

The median sale price was $304,005 over the three months ending September 2026, up 6.5% year over year. Homes sell in about 63 days at 98.1% of list price. With 30-year mortgage rates at 7.4%, affordability is tighter than it was, and pricing accurately at listing matters more than it did a year ago.

Do I need an agent who specialises in military relocation?

If you are PCSing to or from Fort Knox, it helps considerably. The difference is not knowledge of VA loans alone, which many agents have, but familiarity with the timing: report dates, temporary lodging windows, and the fact that a delayed closing is far more expensive when your household goods are already in transit.

Best Realtors in Elizabethtown, KY

Reviewed October 2026. Market figures from Redfin, September 2026.

How this list was built. Every office below was checked against the Heart of Kentucky Association of REALTORS member roster in October 2026, the authoritative local list, covering all 160 member offices. Addresses and phone numbers come from that roster, not from our own records. Three agencies that previously appeared in this directory were removed during that review because we could not confirm them, including one whose office turned out to be 150 miles away. We would rather publish a shorter list we can stand behind.

Different agencies suit different moves. A military relocation on a tight PCS timeline is a different job from a move-up purchase across town, and the office that handles one well is not automatically the one you want for the other. Below is what each agency is, verified against the local REALTORS roster, and the kind of move it tends to handle best.

Agent counts come from the Heart of Kentucky Association of REALTORS roster, checked in October 2026, covering 115 licensed agents across these six offices. Headcount is worth knowing, but it is not a ranking: the agent who handles your sale matters far more than the size of the office they sit in.

Compass and Key Group: full-service and veteran-owned

Most of what Compass and Key Group does is ordinary Hardin County residential work: first-time buyers, families moving up, downsizers, sellers, and investors. Austin Kutz runs the team under Real Broker, LLC (Kentucky Real Estate #277797) and is personally involved in every transaction, which is the practical difference between a small team and a large market centre where you are assigned whoever is free.

The military side is depth rather than a boundary. Austin Kutz is a Marine Corps veteran who has made PCS moves himself, so when a buyer does arrive on orders the hard part is already understood. The difficulty is rarely the VA loan, which plenty of agents handle. It is the timing: report dates, temporary lodging windows, and a closing that cannot slip because household goods are already in transit.

Compass and Key Group holds a 5.0 rating from 94 Google reviews and works across Elizabethtown, Radcliff, Vine Grove and Hardin County generally, military and civilian alike. Call (270) 735-3897, or see the full profile.

The other verified agencies

Schuler Bauer Real Estate Services ERA Powered

100 Drexler Circle, Elizabethtown, KY 42701 · (270) 740-2100

Schuler Bauer Real Estate Services operates as an ERA Powered brokerage, a regional firm with roots in Southern Indiana and the Louisville metro that expanded south into Hardin County. It is the largest multi-office operation in this directory: alongside the Elizabethtown office on Drexler Circle, the firm runs a Brandenburg branch and a Louisville-area office, so its footprint covers the I-65 corridor as well as Hardin County. The Elizabethtown office handles residential and commercial work across Hardin County and is a member of the Heart of Kentucky Association of REALTORS.

Best suited to: Moves that cross markets, where one brokerage can hold both sides

Olive + Oak Realty

310 College St, Elizabethtown, KY 42701 · (270) 751-7339

Olive + Oak Realty is a boutique brokerage on College Street in Elizabethtown, working both residential and commercial sides of the Hardin County market. Its agents handle VA transactions and it takes on Fort Knox relocations alongside general residential work. Buyers who want commercial and residential handled under one roof are its natural fit.

Best suited to: Boutique service, and buyers who want commercial and residential under one roof

RE/MAX Executive Group

100 Chase Way, Suite 1, Elizabethtown, KY 42701 · (270) 769-1655

RE/MAX Executive Group is a locally owned franchise of the RE/MAX network, operating from Chase Way in Elizabethtown. Unusually for the area it runs ongoing property management alongside sales, so landlords who want one firm for leasing and tenant handling will find that service here. The office also carries the RE/MAX referral network.

Best suited to: Investors and anyone keeping a property as a rental

Keller Williams Heartland Realty

950 N Mulberry Street, Suite 290, Elizabethtown, KY 42701 · (270) 986-7296

Keller Williams Heartland is the Elizabethtown-area Keller Williams market center, on North Mulberry Street. It operates a second office in Shepherdsville, which extends its reach up the I-65 corridor toward the Louisville suburbs, relevant if your search spans both Hardin and Bullitt counties rather than sitting inside E-town. Keller Williams market centers are agent-heavy by design, so the practical consideration here is choosing the individual agent rather than the office: the brand supplies the technology and training, but experience varies widely within a market center of this size.

Best suited to: Searches spanning Hardin and Bullitt counties

Coldwell Banker McMahan

1690 Ring Road, Suite 230, Elizabethtown, KY 42701 · (270) 234-8600

Coldwell Banker McMahan is the Coldwell Banker office serving Elizabethtown, located in the Ring Road commercial corridor. It brings the Coldwell Banker relocation and referral network to Hardin County, and handles residential buying and selling across the county. Buyers whose move is being routed by a national employer's relocation programme sometimes arrive pre-assigned to an affiliate like this one.

Best suited to: Corporate relocations arriving through a national referral network

How to choose between them

Three questions separate agents faster than anything on a comparison table:

How many homes have you closed in this price band in the last year? The median sale price here is $304,005. An agent whose volume sits well above or below that is working a different market than you are.
What did your last three listings sell for against asking? The market average is 98.1% of list. An agent consistently below that is either pricing badly or negotiating badly, and either one costs you money.
Which school district is this house in? A local agent answers instantly, because it changes both the schools and the property tax bill, roughly 20% on the same house, depending on whether it sits in the Hardin County or Elizabethtown Independent district. Hesitation here tells you how local they really are.

One practical note on timing: homes are taking about 63 days to sell, against 62 a year ago, while 30-year rates sit at 7.4%. Buyers have marginally more room to negotiate than they did; sellers have less room to test a high asking price and correct later.
