Real estate help within 1.5 hours of Elizabethtown (2026)

In short

Real Estate Kentucky serves home buyers and sellers within about a 1.5-hour drive of Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Broker Vickie Grimes covers Hardin County and 18 surrounding counties, from the Louisville metro to Bowling Green, and, as a licensed Indiana broker, cross-river moves near New Albany.

Where does Real Estate Kentucky serve?

Vickie Grimes serves buyers and sellers within roughly 90 minutes' drive of Elizabethtown, in the heart of Hardin County, Kentucky.

The brokerage is deliberately local. Vickie keeps her radius to about an hour and a half so she can actually show up, walk the property, read the inspection in person, and be at the closing table, rather than spreading too thin. That covers the Fort Knox area, the Louisville metro to the north, and a wide band of central Kentucky counties south and east.
