**Update - 12/2025** Reinae helped us sell the original home…read morewe bought in South Austin and went all the way to help us get top dollar for it. Her advice in how to present and stage it was so on point and her patience and updates along the way (since we were obviously anxious) really gave us peace. She also helped us purchase the new home we are now living in and we couldn't have found a better "diamond in the rough" that we can put our touch on. Reinae has given us more great advice there since it's a 100 yr old home. We trust her implicitly and I don't take that lightly with investments of this size. If she's available and able to help you, don't miss out on working with her.

My house was in TX, but I live in CA. I thought it would be a challenge to deal with the house remotely, but she took care of all the arrangements, including the final walkthrough with my tenants, repairs and renovations. I watched the market for several months prior to listing my house. Interest rates were high, demand was low, and houses in my neighborhood were sitting on the market for weeks and months. But Reinae is an expert in her field, and knew what to do to get the house ready for sale. With her guidance, I decided to make some repairs and update the floors and paint. My house was listed on a Thursday and I accepted an offer (for the listing price) 3 days later. We closed less than a month later. Something I really appreciated is her ability to give me advice without being pushy. She armed me with information and made sure I knew all my options, but she respected my opinion and supported any decisions I made. On the other end of the spectrum, when I needed guidance and someone to help me make decisions, she stepped up and helped me come to a decision with confidence. Lastly, she is a good person. She is a professional woman with a successful business, but there's a lot of heart behind her work.

We were wanting to sell our existing home, and purchase a new one all in the span of a few months. This is something we had been putting off for a long time, worrying about all the hassle involved. This is where Michelle stepped in. I basically told her "I wish I could disappear for two months, come back and everything is done. I'd love it if someone could just do this all for me". To which she said, "that's why I'm here." She was fantastic in every step of the process. She has a great network for everyone from photographers to handymen to appraisers to even cleaning crews. With her help we received 4 offers within hours of being on the market, and ended up selling for 30k more that what we had originally thought we would list at, and ended up being the highest sale price in the history of my neighborhood. The buying process was just as great! Unfortunately we were in a deadline to get into a home before I left the country on business for 3 weeks. We found a home we love and she made that happen. Now we are in a dream school district for our kids, in a home that we love and couldn't be happier. I would (and will) recommend Michelle to anyone in Austin even remotely interested in buying or selling a home!

Kathy was my property manager for a house I was renting in South Austin…read more The short version is: I would never ever, ever, ever recommend renting a property from Kathy. She is a terrible landlord. Where do I even start on this review... All the negative reviews she has about communication are 100% true. She will ghost you on maintenance requests CONSTANTLY. When she needed something she needed it same day. When we needed something we wouldn't hear back for days, weeks, or at all. She would take upwards of a month to fix many things and if she did she would do it the cheapest and most half assed way possible. Here's a list of some of the things that happened while living in her rental property: 1. When I moved in, bathroom had black mold on the walls near the shower. I reported when I first moved in. A handy man eventually came over and just painted over it. The mold inevitably came back and I had to wait days for her to send someone to rip out the drywall to actually fix the mold problem. 2. Our kitchen sink was clogged for months. She blew us off about it when we told her draino wasn't working and we needed a plumber. After about a month of asking for help, she comes over and discovers there's a clog deep in the main pipe. Her handy man cuts out a giant square of drywall in our laundry room where the clog is. They accidentally burst the pipe and spray gross drainage water all over our laundry room and into our garage. They then proceed to barely clean up their mess and left it for us to clean. After they patched the broken pipe, Kathy waited another month to send someone out to patch the giant hole in our wall. Her excuse was that the handy man had a cold for the past month. 3. Our dishwasher hardly worked at all until it eventually broke. She refused to send someone out to fix it at first claiming "the dishwasher is brand new. It's only two years old." Despite us telling her it doesn't even turn on. It took several weeks to get a new dish washer. 4. This one is the worst of all. In February, because of the freeze a tree fell and took out a power line to our house. This ended up causing an electrical fire in the garage storage room. We were lucky enough to notice the fire before it spread and the fire department put it out. But it did render part of the garage unusable through fire/water damage. When you have an electrical fire the city turns off your water and electricity until the home is deemed safe to live in. While we were staying elsewhere, I asked Kathy about pro rating rent, since we had paid rent the day of the fire and couldn't live in the house we paid for. As soon as I asked about rent proration, she ghosted me for four entire days. She cited a family emergency as the reason she left us high and dry for four days. It would have taken her 10 seconds to text us but nope. Just total radio silence while we were waiting around to hear when we could go back to the place we pay rent to live in. My room mates and I were displaced for 9 days total before we got the city to turn the power back on, even though fire damage wasn't fixed yet. I had to threaten legal action before she agreed to pro rate 9 days worth of rent for the next month. From day one of the fire, she started acting really shady about getting the house fixed claiming she "has a guy with the city that can get the permits process moved along". I spoke to the fire marshall about that and he essentially told me that isn't how things work and that I need to call the code department myself to ensure my house was fixed properly according to code. Kathy was clearly livid that she now had to fix the house legally and became even more passive towards us. Months after the fire, she told me that because I called the code department that it was my fault the house was still partially burned. Which according to the Austin Code Department Supervisor I spoke to, isn't the case at all. Getting a code violation does not mean repairs take over five months to start. The fire happened February 1st. I finally moved out June 30th. During that entire period of time, the burnt garage was never fixed and she still made us pay the full amount in rent every month. Imagine paying 100% rent for less than 100% of a usable home. When I would ask about ANY update regarding repairs she would act annoyed that I would bother her with such at thing. I'm certain that she purposefully never fixed the house as punishment. If you read her canned responses to other negative reviews, I just want to say they are all bullsh*t. She doesn't provide "superior service" to anyone renting from her. She knows that as a landlord she has the upper hand over her tenants and she acts accordingly. Whether out of greed or incompetence, she's a bad person. Her tenants are nothing more to her than her bottom line.

Recently I was in your shoes, Patty helped me purchase my first home and I truly am so pleased to have connected with her! Not only did I enjoy working with Patty, I feel like I found the perfect first place. The property I purchased is in East End Revitalized (EaDo) and I love the space! I had spoken with, and used other realtors in the past. What I got was listings that didn't interest me, lack of attention to my search, late arrivals, follow ups to get things done and worst of all...pressure after viewing properties. Not with Patty! She made the entire first time home buying process easy and stress free. I never felt pressured to make decisions and I was always assured to feel comfortable with each decision. She would spend as much, or as little time as I wanted viewing the property. She took the time to explain everything, sometimes more than once ;-) She is knowledgeable about the areas of interest and her experience shows as she pointed out several things I would not have considered. Whether you're a first time buyer, seller, or buying your 16th home you're in good hands! I would choose Patty over and over without question! Best of luck!

I met Lenore through a couple who had used her as a buyer's agent and had great reviews about her…read more I'm very glad to have also used her as my buying agent for my first home, over the course of about 8 months and many property viewings. As you've probably guessed, Lenore is a very patient agent. She's also very down-to-earth and has that old South Austin vibe (she's been in the biz for like 3 decades). I don't even remember how many homes we looked at, and Lenore's advice was on target for each one. She'd tell me to walk away from a house, even if it meant more work for her down the line. With Lenore's advice, I actually ended up being the winning bidder and went under contract for all three homes that I pursued. Three for three - that's an amazing score in this super-hot Austin market. She was very helpful with how much to bid and how to tailor all the other contingencies so that we would come out ahead of the other buyers, but without getting into a ridiculous bidding war. Unfortunately, the first two houses turned out to have severe structural issues upon closer inspection, and I backed out of them (with Lenore's encouragement). The third house wasn't as pretty, but Lenore told me to go for it because it had great guts - I ended up closing on that and feel very happy about it 6 months on. As for Brian M's 1-star review below, what gives dude? Lenore is very professional, courteous and actually has great people-skills. That review smells like a shill for a competitor, and an unprofessional review coming from someone with Yelp Elite status.
