Dear Buyer, I am not a high maintenance person, but I am picky. I am not the individual that will start business confrontation, unless I need to. Andrew Doobay made sure that I did not ever need to be that other person. Buying from D.R. Horton was a journey; as any buyer within this 2021-2022 time frame can attest, it was a march of will and patience. There were so many times I wanted to give up, but Andrew understood my vision and encouraged me forward. We started out looking at duplexes. That is exactly what I thought I wanted. After a couple offers and many failed property tours, Andrew laid out the real estate landscape and told me like it really was. He was honest and direct. He never sugar-coated to pad his pockets. We eventually decided that the best course of action for THIS city was a single family home. While this may not be everyone's journey, I want to express the tenacity in which Andrew fought for me, the empathy he showed to my vision. Andrew gave a damn! Sitting here in my home, hard fought for -- tooth and nail, I am grateful for working with him. The pains he went through on my behalf cannot be verbalized accurately. We legitimately said "No" to a property because the owner was not upfront about the entire property's renovation status--hoping to score a quick buck I imagine. Andrew Doobay is the person you want in your corner. He is a hungry individual, up to date in the industry, and seeks out the best for his clients. While it is not what I initially desired, Andrew found me a property I could be proud of and that my family could be proud of me for obtaining. read more

My partner and I were so lucky to have met Andrew early on in the home buying process. We were first time buyers and had no clue what we were doing, but he walked us through the process multiple times answering all of our questions and keeping touch with us over a span of months until we were ready to get serious with our search. He was always made himself readily available to answer any questions we had or tour a home - his response time is impressive to say the least. He worked with us to make sure we were staying competitive in our search, which is so hard to do with current state of the market, and was there for us through the emotional ups and downs of the process to provide support and words of encouragement. When we did find a home that we loved, he worked so hard to make sure we got the best possible deal. I was so nervous we were not going to be able to find a home in the area we wanted due to the rising prices and competition, but he made it possible! We are exactly where we wanted to be and it's all thank to Andrew. He is above and beyond 5 stars! read more

Andrew was referred to me from a trusted friend, and I had a seamless experience working with him on my home purchase. To start, Andrew is an excellent listener - he can help clarify exactly what matters the most, and he is empathetic and understanding of your needs (this was especially helpful for me as a Canadian buying property in Austin). He's relatable, honest, and knowledgeable - I liked seeing places with him and hearing his candid assessments of what's nice vs. not about different properties (incl. things you might not think about). Andrew's communication and responsiveness were consistently great - he arranged a ton of viewings for me next day after I booked a last minute trip to the city to check out places. He hustles and makes it happen with strong attention to detail. Andrew is attuned to the market and keeps calm during negotiations. Even during and after close, Andrew consistently checked in and went the extra mile to check on my new place when I was out of town - these things mean a lot in something as complex as a home purchase! read more

Andrew was my agent while I was looking to buy a home in Austin in early 2021. I can't say enough great things about working with Andrew. We were set to close during the great ice-storm of 2021, the appraisal was two weeks late, the bank wanted another inspection due to the extreme regional damage from that storm and the seller was on a tight deadline... Andrew navigated all of these obstacles with a great sense of humor and a quick, no-nonsense attitude. I freaked out and he didn't. Ever. Despite all of the above, the thing I appreciated most about Andrew was that he let me find my own way while I looked and considered...but still knew when to offer me his opinion. Buying a home is hard, stressful and emotional. I needed to find my way but also to be saved from myself at times. I needed to hear a "We can do better" a few times. And, we did do better. read more

Andrew helped my partner and I buy our first home that we are so incredibly happy about! He made the experience not only seamless but exciting and enjoyable. He has an immense knowledge of Austin and the surrounding area, the market, home development and general house knowledge. He made us feel confident in a crazy competitive market and helped us generate the best offer we could create in order to certify the house of our dreams. He is always available to chat and answer questions (which we had a lot of) and does all that he can to get you the most information possible through his own knowledge, research or reaching out to others to make sure he gets you the answers. Andrew is such a pleasure to work with and made this experience, which was originally overwhelming, so easy for us. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property!! read more

Andrew is a realtor that knows what he's doing. He is dedicated and cares about his job, and that comes across in how he treats you as a client. He was available to answer my questions at almost all moments of the day, and helped me find a good interest rate and great home insurance. Andrew helps his clients even after closing, which is especially appreciated as a first time home buyer. Most of all, he helped me find the perfect home through helping me hone in on aspects of the home I had never thought to think of. Andrew's expertise shows in all areas of the home buying process, from looking at homes, to finances, to closing. I would 10/10 recommend Andrew to anyone looking for an intentional, seasoned, real estate agent. read more

Andrew sets the bar high! Proactive and reliable. You're not just another client, he makes his time with you feel very intentional and focused. He's also a ton of fun to work with. It took a while to find the right property and I don't think we would have without him. Austin isn't an easy market so working with someone who fully understands what you're looking for is crucial. If you're unsure about something, he's someone you don't have to fear asking a dumb question to. He'll explain every part of the process and options each step of the way. Great recommendations and relationships with vendors you may need for inspections and tons of local knowledge. Highly recommended! read more

Andrew has a wonderful way of making this process feel easy, even when it can be stressful. He was wonderful at negotiating, but also at just being there, to help with home inspection, move-in, etc. We were moving from an hour away and many times he went to the house for meetings, inspections, because we just couldn't get there. He was patient, understanding and gave us space (time to think and sort options) when needed. We had a great experience and loved his professional but easy going personality. We truly felt like we gained a family member. We would recommend him to anyone looking to get a property in the Austin area. read more

Andrew was a great resource for us on our journey to become homeowners. He is such a great realtor and helped us tremendously as first time buyers! We came in with no knowledge of the process and yet he walked us through each step in a timely way such that we could start seeing houses and drafting offers right away. He really made us feel like we were his only client and made himself available for all of our questions. He helped us get our second offer accepted below asking price, and contract-to-close went very quickly and smoothly. We cannot recommend him highly enough!! read more

Andrew did an exceptional finding our home. He provided us with great advice across the board: pricing, negotiation, inspectors and getting us to the closing table. He was proactive and provided expert advice at every stage in the process, as well as responded to all issues we encountered. Although it's a "seller's market", there were many decisions to be made throughout the process, and Andrew was proactive and practical in providing advice. It was great having someone seasoned in our corner. We would enthusiastically recommend Andrew to anyone getting a home! read more

Extremely professional and knowledgeable. He knows what to do, when to do it and communicates clearly. Every step of the way from our first meeting with Andrew exceeded our exceptions in every way. Always working in high gear to get us the best price for the home we were chasing, making sure anything we needed was provided. He went above and beyond when we needed an emergency plumber and none were available anywhere in Austin, he made a call and got us a great plumber right away. We have used realtors in the past but no one knows how to do it like Andrew!! read more

At the start of our home buying process we looked at quite a few agents and had a lot of recommendations but we went with Andrew because he was extremely responsive, took the time to answer all our questions and had years of experience in the Austin market. Andrew would answer my anxious phone calls at 10pm at night and help us put together offers that were always competitive (despite not always having the highest bid). We were able to close on an unbelievable home and I could not be more thankful that we decided to work with him! Sonia read more

Andrew was very informative and communicative throughout the entire process, answering any questions and providing insight through every step of the way. His knowledge of the area, financing, and the closing process was incredibly helpful and allowed me to find a place that was right for me and to make a fair offer. His direction on the financial side ended up saving me a significant amount of money and the time he dedicates to walking through every step of the process made it very stress free. Would highly recommend! read more

My partner and I were lucky enough to be paired with Andrew for our first home buying experience. He truly blew our expectations out of the water. He is knowledgeable, hard-working, responsive, patient, and just the right amount of scrappy to get us ahead in this competitive and fast-paced market. We spent A LOT of time with him during our home search, and we enjoyed it all! He made sure everything went seamlessly and truly did go above and beyond every step of the way. I cannot recommend him highly enough! read more

Andrew is exceptional! My husband and I wanted to tour a house that we now call our home. I called the number listed and was pleasantly greeted by Andrew Doobay. We had a small window of opportunity to see the house and I didn't expect anyone to be available. However, I was elated to learn how accommodating he was. He is incredibly nice, funny, easy to work with, a great communicator, punctual and very organized! I highly recommend him to anyone coming to the Austin area! read more

What can I say about Andy! He is extremely dedicated, attentive and professional - we are truly thankful for all his support, time and advice during this past year, especially during our challenges. In moments of frustration and confusion, Andy was just a call or text away! We wish him even more success and if you are looking for a realtor who will listen to your dreams, goals and concerns, ( and also has a great sense of humor) then Andrew Doobay is it! read more

Andrew has been an incredible resource for us during our home buying process. He was knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions (we had many) as well as providing all the necessary documents in a timely manner. He was able to guide us through the purchase of our first home and took a lot of the stress out of a normally very stressful process. I would definitely work with Andrew again! read more

Andrew was an absolute angel in helping us find our perfect first home! He quickly understood exactly what we were looking for and never tried to get us to settle or comprise. As first time house buyers, he was incredibly patient and supportive while we had many, many questions. I cannot recommend Andrew enough! His knowledge, sense of humor and dedication to his clients makes him the best!!! read more

Andrew was an amazing partner in getting the house of our dreams! He was very knowledgeable, always available and really listened to our concerns about the house. And he play led the bad guy with the builders when we really needed it! I would definitely recommend him (and use him) in the future. J & M read more
