I generally hate posting reviews, but it's 100% necessary in this case: Matt is AMAZING. My husband and I lucked out bigtime finding him as our realtor. Our home-buying journey began at the craziest of times in Austin real estate: January 2021. We had no idea what we were doing and were intimidated and bewildered as all hell. Matt could not have been more patient, friendly, and encouraging, and it helped our spirits immensely. We learned so much from him about how the market was going, what our best chances were, how to go about getting what we wanted....the whole shebang. Since the market was so insane and given our financial outlook, ultimately we decided to build a house in Kyle. The whole process went super smoothly thanks to Matt. Unfortunately the building process did not go so smoothly, thanks to material and labor shortages...but even though Matt's role was technically done, he helped us deal with the builder for a full 19 MONTHS between our signing for the house and closing on the house. Matt helped us get answers from the builder when they didn't respond to us; he helped us navigate the entire process. He was there for us every step of the way. I can't count how many times my husband or I said "Thank GOD for Matt!!" At the start of this whole home-buying adventure, I dreaded having to deal with a realtor. My experience with them in the past was....not great. At all. So the fact that I truly can't recommend Matt highly enough - and that my husband and I now consider Matt a friend - is just crazy to me. We will be eternally grateful to him, and we honestly don't know what we would've done without him!! read more

Matt Cordova is truly the BEST of the BEST!!!! Buying a house is daunting enough, but when faced with that in a very hot market, it can be even more so.. Matt, without question, made the process seamless, and helped us find our beautiful home! Matt spent the time getting to understand what my husband and I were looking for and was able to recommend neighborhoods we hadn't even considered to fit our wants and needs. More importantly, Matt was always available throughout the process, and his expertise made us confident in our final decision. When my husband had a work trip and couldn't be there for the closing, he was right by my side, so I wouldn't be handling the process alone, which is a class act, in my opinion. Matt is honest and works with the highest level of integrity. I have no reservations about recommending him to friends and have already done so! I look forward to working with him again on our next home! read more

As a first-time home buyer in Austin, TX, in 2021 (peak seller market), I was skeptical of finding a home that met my wish list. Matt Cordova and his business partner Anthony Gibson helped me win and close on my favorite house in two weekends! There's a lot that Matt, Anthony, and their team do so exceptionally. It starts with an incredibly nuanced knowledge of Austin, right down to which streets in Austin have higher renter density and more cars parked in the driveways!. Appraisal/offer/concession strategy, tooling, punctuality, and being available during all hours of the day are just a few others. It's rare to find people who are so knowledgeable, easy to work with, and so down-to-earth. I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again. read more

My husband and I worked with Matt Cordova while purchasing our first home. Not only was he very knowledgeable of the market and home appraisals he helped us navigate all the paperwork. Matt was quick with response time and with showing us listings. He was very down to earth and professional. He made our home buying experience fun and easy in this extremely competitive market. We couldn't be happier with our new home and everything Matt and Austin Properties Group did for us. I highly recommend going with this team and Matt for the Austin area. They were a dream team! read more

Anthony was our agent and we are so happy! The team there at Austin Properties Group really worked hard to make sure we were happy as clients! I would definitely recommend Anthony and his team! read more

We've worked with both Anthony and Matt on a variety of real estate transactions: they helped us purchase our family home, purchase an investment property, and source and lease new tenants. They're incredibly knowledgeable about the market and neighborhoods in Austin and go out of their way stay informed on emerging trends so they can provide meaningful guidance. In addition to being incredibly competent real estate professionals, they're fantastic service providers. They listen to and respect your parameters, provide high-touch communication, and are always thinking ahead and anticipating your needs so you don't have to chase down details. I can't recommend Austin Properties Group more highly. These are top notch professionals and -- beyond that -- simply great people. You can trust you're in good hands with this crew. read more

Matt was a pleasure to work with. He's straight forward and is very knowledgeable. He made our first time home buying experience seamless. Definitely recommend working with him and his team. read more

Anthony and his team at Austin Properties Group are amazing to work with. From the last minute showings to the rapid paced offer submissions it made it less stressful having a knowledgeable realtor like Anthony keeping our heads screwed on tight. In the end you show your satisfaction with repeat business and I've utilized Anthony and his team twice in 5 years and I suspect i'll continue to use him when I'm back in the market. read more

Anthony & his team member Matt were wonderful when my husband & I were looking for a home to buy in Austin. They both were responsive, organized & informative as well as incredibly patient with all of our questions. I wouldn't hesitate to call them again if I had any more real estate needs in the Austin area! read more

I own several investment properties and have worked with several realtors over the course of many years. I have to say Mike Ayala is one of the most honest and sincere realtors I've worked with I'm very impressed with his dedication and sincerity. I really feel he is working for me and looking after my interests. He also is very responsive to your needs and in this market where properties barely last its absolutely essentially I know I'm quite a demanding buyer so I've to thank him for putting up with me :) While I haven't found a suitable property yet.. He's definitely someone I would recommend to my friends and family! read more

We just moved to Austin from Bay Area CA and within three months we found our dream home. John May from APG(Keller Williams) was instrumental in helping us find our home. He understands the clients needs and caters to them in a very professional manner! He made himself available to show us homes at very short notices and went above and beyond to find all details and answer all our questions. Me & my husband were crazy enough to put down an offer on a home that we didnt look at, as we were travelling at that time. But by then we knew that we could trust John to be our eyes. John made it possible for us to see the home via skype and showed us the place with utmost patience for which we are very thankful. We closed the same home and John & his team made the whole experience very smooth and timely for us. He still remains in touch and helps us out with various other information, like pool servicing guys, movers, cleaners, handy men etc! John is an awesome agent and we cant thank him enough for all the help he continues to do for us. He will be a good friend of ours and I will recommend him to all! read more

Ryanne is a great asset...easy going, fun and professional yet tough as nails and ready to go to battle when I needed her, exactly the person you want on your side! Has a great support team as well, Ryanne can be very busy but the office is well coordinated. I had an extremely unique property and Ryanne got the job done :-) I have referred friends as well and had been same story. She also gave me a gift certificate to have my new house cleaned by The Purple Fig an excellent Eco cleaning company in town which I thought was a great touch of class. read more

Anthony Gibson from Austin Properties Group did a super job representing me during my new house purchase. He made sure I was completely satisfied with the responses received from the sales management and house construction team. Anthony answered every question I had and lined up an exceptional inspection team. read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Jared Fader. This is the 5th house we've bought but our first in Austin. We've never experienced buying a home where the market was quite this crazy. Jared and his team were so helpful in knowing what to do and suggesting different tactics in order for us to get the home that we wanted. The seller of our property had actually worked with his team before and had remarked on the positive experience. I'm sure that helped in our bid being chosen out of many others. With all odds against us winning the bid, Jared was able to get us in our beautiful home. Jared always made himself available as we were pretty demanding. We never felt pressured to settle on any home and actually enjoyed the house hunting process. Bottom line, it's apparent that Jared loves his job and genuinely cares about people. We can't thank him enough for helping us get the perfect house that meets all our needs. I would definitely use him again if ever in the market and I highly recommend his services. read more

Ryanne and her team is top notch. They know what they are doing. In a market where houses were sitting in market for a little longer and prices were going down, our house received multiple offers in a single day above asking price. I'm sure it's because of all the changes we did as per Ryanne's suggestions and the staging. We did not have to worry about the selling process because of how organized Ryanne, Matt and Anthony were. From prepping, staging, choosing offers to closing they handled everything really well. We will recommend them to friends and family and rehire them if we are selling again. read more

My partner and I are tremendously happy with our home and it's thanks to Anthony at Austin Properties Group. Being a first time home buyer could be really nerve-racking. Anthony always made sure to provide his expertise and honest opinion in every property that we looked at/considered. Anthony was always on top of our emails and extremely organized after blasting him with tons of Zillow listings. My partner and I always felt that Anthony had our best interest and we never felt that he was bringing us for higher paying properties for a higher commission. I think the thing that really made us appreciate Anthony is that he treated us with the same priority as a million dollar buyer and that spoke volumes to us. The home buying process could be extremely stressful and intimidating, but Anthony made sure that everything was clear and concise and spelled out for us to understand what was happening. I would recommend Anthony and his team to anyone looking to purchase a home. It was the best decision we've ever made! read more

I met Jared Fader approximately two years ago (2016) at an open house in Austin. At that time, my husband and I were contemplating a move from South Carolina to Austin, Texas. We knew no one in Austin and had met several other agents that same day. However, Jared struck a cord with me and we kept in touch over the corresponding time. In Sept. of 2017, my husband and I again visited Austin to finalize our relocation. On a whim, I called Jared just to see if he could recommend some neighborhoods for us to check out. Jared not only provided recommendations, but also agreed to meet us on short notice. By the end of a world-winded weekend, we had a deposit on a new home community! Jared walked us through every step of the process, and anticipated our every need. He is very forthright and honest, and also has a keen eye for high quality construction. I am so happy that I met Jared- he is a phenomenal agent and I recommend him to all for your real estate needs. read more

Jared represented me as my buyer's agent on the purchase of my first home. A few things stood out during my experience working with him: his responsiveness, attention to detail, and masterful knowledge of the local market and process. We were able to negotiate the contract below market value in a competitive seller's market and his connections with several contractors during the inspection period allowed for us to perform due diligence in a tight deadline to closing. During the process, he held all parties accountable to their deliverables and was quick to respond and help out beyond the call of duty to make the purchase effortless, even as it became a complex pre-foreclosure scenario. Patient, kind, and thorough all come to mind in describing his character. I heartily recommend Jared's services. read more

Jared Fader from Austin Properties Group helped us in buying our first home. The experience was nothing short of phenomenal - we went on house hunting not more than 4 times with him, put one offer which was below the market price, and were able to get the house. This was all completed in less than 50 days! If this is not perfect, I don't know what is. Our special situation required a real-estate agent who would be available at odd hours: I and my wife work on weekdays and Saturdays. We were green on a lot of details about house evaluation. Jared ticked all the boxes - he was available for house showings at our convenience, and he was very frank in giving us his opinion during house visits, which we appreciated. Once we zeroed in on the house we liked, Jared did a price comparison with other similar houses and suggested that we offer below market value. I was doubtful considering the sellers' market situation in Austin, but was pleasantly surprised when our offer was accepted. Home-buying process, specially for the first time buyers, involves the buyers to have a trust relationship with their agent. Jared was great in this respect. Not only do I have no hesitation in recommending him, I'd use him myself again if the need presented itself. read more

Jared Fader has helped me buy two properties in Austin and I can't say enough about his professionalism and patience. He was always willing to go view houses and researched issues before wasting time to see others. It is definitely a sellers' market and finally have moved in and enjoying my pool! Thanks Jared! read more

Anthony Gibson and his team were fantastic! They helped us find our first home and provided us invaluable advice. Big thank you to Matt for all the last-minute viewing requests and for driving around town to help us find the best home for us. They worked with us every step of the way, were extremely professional, and truly know the market and Austin area. I highly recommend Austin Properties Group!!! read more

I used Anthony Gibson at Austin Properties group to buy my first home. Before meeting him, I had gone through 4 agents. I am a young single woman and this was my first home buying experience. Because of that many agents did not take me seriously or gave me a run around. Anthony was the first agent to really listen to me, take me seriously and give his honest opinion as a friend. He was able to have me see properties quickly and I closed on a condo within 3 weeks, which is unheard of in such a crazy marker. He helped me every step of the way and really went above and beyond. He felt more like a friend helping me than someone who was making a commission. He is also a local and was able to give me valuable insight on properties and location. I would give him 10 stars if I could! read more

We worked with Jared Fader from APG to buy our first home and I would recommend him to anyone. He was incredibly prompt and responsive throughout the process. The entire process took two months (to the day!) from our first meeting with him to the day we closed on our new house. We were operating in a CRAZY market and Jared was tireless in his pursuit to support our search for our first home. We will certainly be working with Jared in the future when we buy our next home and I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I can't not express how AMAZING this team is. I am almost done with a sell, and a purchase and they have helped me every step of the way. After coming to terms that I would have to short sell my house or come to close with some money I put my house on the market with Ryanne and APG. 45 days later we had a bidding war. That's right, full asking price offers, no short sell, and people arguing over my home. I never would of thought it was possible. However, my dreams of selling came true, and APG made it happen. They check on you weekly, send you updates, and the best part is they really handle everything. Often times I would check in and find everything was being handled and I wasn't even needed!! They really know their stuff and stand strong when necessary. There is NO ONE else I would want on my team other than APG. Even as a buyer Anthony, Scott, and APG stood out above the rest. I was shown everything from low-end, high-end, in my budget, small, large, anything that might fit my bill we considered. They never tired of me changing my mind, wanting to see something twice, or wavering to make a decision. I close the final deal next week and I couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. One can not go wrong with working with APG on ANY aspect of real estate. I will NEVER consider anyone else! read more

Before we hired the APG team to sell our home, we had used another agent. Our house was on the market for two months with no offers. As soon as Ryanne and her team took over, we could tell the difference immediately. She had beautiful, professional photos done, was directly involved in the staging process, and went above and beyond to make our home immaculate for showing. Because of this attention to detail, knowledge, and talent, our home was sold in TWO days! Her brilliant negotiating resulted in an offer that was above our asking price, and she was 100% there for us every step of the way during the closing process. We couldn't have asked for better, more professional realtors. read more

Ryanne and her team are an incredible group of individuals and an amazing team together. They made every step of the process of selling my house extremely easy and painless. I could tell from the very beginning that they really care about people and they love what they do. I will definitely reach out to them for any future real estate needs and will refer friends & family to them as well. Top notch all the way around! read more

We I recently sold an income property, a single family home, in the Austin area. Initially we had my property manager attempt to sell the home but after a series of missteps, we decided to interview a number of selling real estate agents and see if we could find someone to better handle the sale. After a series of interviews it became clear that Ryanne Vaughan and her Austin Property Group had quite an edge over the other agents. Not only was their analysis of the competitive market more thorough than any other agent's, her understanding of the market and how to market my house was more thorough than any other agent's. Additionally Ryanne advised me specifically on what things in the house could/should be upgraded, and what kind of return we would expect for the various upgrades. Her approach was knowledge based and logical, and her confidence instilled confidence in us as well. She orchestrated all the upgrades on which we decided and made the whole process effortless on our part. When all was said and done, we received not only the full price at which the house was listed, but triple the return on the upgrades/investments we decided to make. She handled the negotiations in our best interest and we couldn't have been happier with the whole process, and the professionalism and confidence with which Ryanne and her Austin Property Group handled the entire process. So, I very much wanted to the opportunity to highly recommend Ryanne and her team as a selling agent and would not hesitate to do business with them again. They are pros all the way through the process, and their results prove it. read more

We had a fantastic experience with APG. Our Realtor was Anthony. He was extremely available and patient with our silly first time home buyer questions. He had no problem showing homes on short notice, sometimes required in this market, and once we signed the contract walked us through the process. I also felt that I really had the whole APG team on my side throughout the entire purchase. Questions were answered promptly and my interests were represented the entire time. Thanks to APG we just closed on an amazing house in the exact area we were hoping for. read more

I just use the services of Austin Property Group with Havilah and it was just and great feeling to work with somebody that cares and stays on the top she would answer me everytime I call her she being looking for houses contacted me at all times until we find what I needed and helping me to settle on a fare secure price. The next time I will purchase another rental I will contact her again and I will refer her to Friends and family read more

We used Anthony and the Austin Properties Group Team to sell one of our rental houses in the Independence neighborhood of South Austin. They did a phenomenal job! They were fast, really knew the market, were super professional, kept us in the loop and closed the deal without a hitch. We will only use them going forward. read more

Ryanne and her team are wonderful to work with. I met with several agents and once I met with her there was no comparison. She provides personal, hands on service. She even helped me stage my home so that it would show at it's best. I would work with her again and will recommend she and her team to anyone that needs a realtor in this crazy Austin market. read more

The purchasing of a home, with the added nuances of new construction, could not have gone more smoothly with Anthony Gibson as our realtor. He took his time and was incredibly patient with our numerous questions and always treated us as we were his only client. He almost always answered his phone on the first try and he responded to emails extremely fast. He will be my family's realtor as long as he is in the business. We feel we not only found an incredible business partner during this process, but we made a lifelong friend as well. Thank you, Anthony, for helping us get into our dream home. read more

If you want a realtor or "buyer specialist" that will berate and insult a home during showing to a client to move on to a next one Jared Fader is your guy. Nitpicking and pointing out every fault or "cheap" look, in his opinion, in a persons home is incredibly unprofessional and inconsiderate. read more

Ryanne and her team sold my home and helped me buy a condo. The group works together to provide every service you would need; from listing to closing. They are extremely knowledgeable regarding the market; which helped with listing my house & than again helping me to purchase. Next step was the staging and professional pictures; which Kristen did such a wonderful job. The whole team worked as one to keep in constant communication, providing important information, and troubleshooting any issues that would come. It was amazing how many resources they have. It just made everything so smooth and easy. By the end I felt like they were family; Ryanne, Dillar, Matt, Sarah, Kristen...thanks for everything, your the best! read more

I worked first with Brooke and then with Anthony and they were nothing but helpful throughout the process in purchasing my 2nd Austin investment property. I've now both sold and bought a home and I would highly recommend them. As a broker in New York City myself, I was very pleased with their service and market knowledge. read more

We were recommended and introduced to Anthony Gibson by my friend. I knew the moment I met him that he "got it" when my fiancee and I described what we were looking for. Anthony and his team worked tirelessly to provide listings that were in our price range and offered a wide variety of locations. One thing I really appreciated about Anthony is that he gives you the HONEST pros and cons for a property. It could be location, value, price or straight up tell you he would not recommend investing. This is priceless information. We had just moved to Austin to we really relied on him to recommend areas that had access to all the things we like to do. Anthony was more than happy to meet on weekends, evening and he answered my late evening texts every single time. We had this man drive all over Austin, he really is an amazing realtor. Don't waste any time interviewing anyone else. Hands down, this guy is the man to find your home in Austin. read more

There is nothing less than one otherwise I would have given that to Ryanne Vaughan. I have never seen anyone less professional in the Real Estate business. I e-mailed her on the 8th of September asking for her assistance with looking for a property for me. After not hearing from her I gave her the benefit thinking that she could have overlooked the e-mail. I called on the the morning of 12th and talked to her partner. Left a message with him and was told Ryanne will call me back as soon as she can. Today is the evening of the 14th still no e-mail reply or phone call reply. read more

I worked with Mike Ayala in my search for investment properties in Austin - he was excellent and I would recommend him highly to anyone interesting in investing or moving to Austin. read more

Anthony Gibson helped my fiance and I purchase our first home in October 2015. I have zero hesitation in suggesting Anthony and Austin Properties Group to anyone when it comes to looking for a new home. He was always available to answer our questions, show us properties we were interested in seeing and provide us advice when we asked. I never once felt pressured, but he did a phenomenal job of staying on top of everything and make sure we saw homes ASAP when we were interested. I suggested Anthony to another couple who he helped get into a new home, and I know they had the same great things to say about him that we do. We felt like Anthony really did want to find us exactly what we were looking for, a home that we loved, and not just a nice home that we liked. Even post sale, he has been helpful with answering some small questions here & there that I have had. Anthony's very honest and very driven, and if I'm ever in the market for another home he will be the first person I call. read more

We recently moved from Brooklyn to Austin. Dillar Schwartz from Austin Properties Group helped us find the perfect house. She was so incredibly fast, responsive, on top of everything, helpful, and calm throughout the entire process. Even though there were endless complications from our sale in New York, Dillar and her team made everything on the Texas side run smoothly without breaking a sweat. When we were freaking out about some detail she was cool as a cucumber. We've recommended her to friends who have also had incredibly easy buying experiences thanks to Dillar's smart guidance. This is the third property we have purchased and the simplest and best experience, thanks to the APG team. Would never go with anyone else. read more
