Wow! We were originally just searching for someone who might know our neighborhood to list our house. We lived in a quiet community where houses were rarely sold, so it would be hard to price our house. I had met Kevin at a separate open house and was pleased with his demeanor. I contacted three realtors to compare and Kevin was one of them. He showed up having done the most research and the best vision for preparing our house for sale. We were already pleased, but this turned out to be just the beginning. As we were trying to save money, we developed a 1 month fix-up plan, and I did most of the work or oversaw the contractors. During this period, Kevin stopped by almost every day to see the progress, offer more advice, help control the contrators, and even played with our kids! Kevin lent us tools that we did not have, invited us to open houses nearby so that we could see with other people had done, and also occasionally showed up in work clothes and helped around the house. You could tell that he was genuinely interested in helping us out. I knew he was going above and beyond his responsibilities and really appreciated it. We ended up having to move before the construction was complete. He took over managing the contractors, and even finished up some of the work himself. He even installed some stepping stones in the front yard from the street to the front door. He told us previously that he gives each of his clients a little gift, but it was still a nice surprise and made the property look better. He even covered some unexpected costs and let us settle it at closing. Even though we have moved far away, we keep in touch. I looked for a realtor and feel that I had found a friend. As for the house, it was listed on a Friday, got an offer on Saturday, contracted on Monday, and settled in two weeks with a cash purchase! It was listed for $10,000's more than I expected, and sold for more than the listing price. I know Austin is a seller's market right now, but I am sure that Kevin helped me get much more than I could have without him. I would definitely use Kevin again if given the chance. In fact, I wouldn't think of using anyone else. I know that this review sounds a bit over-enthusiastic. I really went into this without any expectations and was so happy with Kevin and his results. If you have a house to sell (or even to buy), I would recommend that you at least give him a call and see him for yourself. read more

We first learned about Blairfield as we drove through our old neighborhood. We would notice their signs in the yard of almost every house that went up for sale. Within days, these signs were topped off with a "contract pending" or "sold" sign. When it came time for us to sell our house, it was clear that one real estate team dominated our Barton Hills neighborhood. We contacted Donna about eight months prior to the time we wanted to sell asking her to keep us in the back of her mind. She and Tamara set up appointments with us immediately, and they outlined a clear plan for us to prepare the house to go on the market. They provided us with access to their team of contractors, stagers, and extremely helpful office support staff. When it was time to sell, the house didn't even go on the market. Donna had found the perfect buyer who was ready to pay full asking price without the house ever going on the market. This real estate transaction with Blairfield was our fifth real estate deal. By far, working with Blairfield was the most seamless, enjoyable, and professional experience buying or selling that we have ever had. We moved to Washington, DC, and a year later we decided to buy another rental house in Austin. Being that we were on the other side of the country, we were unable to see any of the potential properties. Donna and Tamara went to personally see each one. They called us on the phone as they walked through and sent us detailed pictures, comments, and advice about the houses. In less than 30 days, we had closed on the perfect rental house in Barton Hills, without ever seeing it. Once again, this was another seamless, enjoyable, and professional real estate transaction. On top of that, we currently use the Blairfield Property Managent Group to manage and maintain our rental property in Barton Hills. We couldn't be more satisfied.

We had heard great things about Blairfield Realty in Austin, Texas for years. A couple of dear friends on our street, as well as others in the neighborhood, had great home purchase/sales experiences with Donna Blair, Tamara Carlisle and their team. By the time we decided to sell and retire to the country in East Texas, we already knew that we wanted Blairfield to represent us. And they definitely didn't disappoint! Due to a health setback, we had to delay putting our home on the market past prime selling season, well into early Winter. Donna Blair, with her incredible expertise in real estate marketing, put together a brilliant plan to help us move out, get the house 'tweaked' and staged, photographed and ready to show. Tamara Carlisle and her crew brought a wonderful staging 'vision' to the project, both interior and exterior, and executed the plan quickly and beautifully. As we moved forward with our transition, Blairfield worked tirelessly to bring it all together on the sales front, throwing in all kinds of 'bonuses' as part of their package. They really are a 'full service' company that lives up to their "whatever it takes to satisfy our clients!" motto. We couldn't have been happier with all of their efforts, professionalism, and positive, enthusiastic demeanor. Our house sold within four days...at full asking price. So based upon the satisfaction of our friends and neighbors, as well as our own wonderful experience with Blairfield Realty, we wouldn't hesitate in any way to give them top marks, and highly recommend them to others. Thanks Donna, Tamara, and team for your remarkable help in selling our Austin home! Terry and I are very grateful to you all!! read more

In 2015 we had the pleasure of selling our Barton Hills home with Blairfield. From the first phone call to signing our closing documents we were blown away with Donna's professionalism, resourcefulness and attention to detail. Initially we listed with another realtor but were underwhelmed with the level of service delivered. At the recommendation of neighbors who had worked with Blairfield we reached out to Donna, who was already familiar with our listing and eager to discuss her approach. The Blairfield team wasted no time in preparing our house for re-introduction to the market, upgrading our landscaping, staging, published photos and minor repairs. Donna and Tamara personally selected and installed a gorgeous combination of furniture and decor for our home, and when the first open house was scheduled we were amazed with the transformation! A Blairfield team member visited the property multiple times each week, if not every day, which gave us great peace of mind. When asked for agent feedback on the home or market guidance, Donna shared a deeper level of detail and honesty than we had ever received from a realtor (we've bought and sold 5 times prior). She was proactive about suggesting price adjustments when needed and responding to agent inquiries. Blairfield sets a very high bar, I know exactly who to call if we need realtor services in the future. You will not be disappointed! read more

Last spring when we decided to sell our house in central Austin, I called Monica Blackburn at Blairfield Realty. I had met Monica when our daughters went to high school together, and I knew that she had gotten her real estate license. I can honestly say that calling Monica was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. To say that she worked long hours and dealt with some unexpected challenges, is an understatement. Not only did she help us sell our house, she also helped us find our new house. Any time that I found a house that I was interested in seeing, Monica was there to take me to the house. I can't tell you how many houses we looked at. Finally, we were under contract with our house and had put a contract on our new house, when the proverbial "you know what" hit the fan. I won't go into many details, but the day that we closed on our house, we had less than 12 hours to vacate the house including all of our furniture and other belongings. Monica and the Blairfield team went to work and got us packed up and moved out by the end of the day. Monica, I and 7 movers were up until 2:30 in the morning moving our belongings into storage. Talk about above and beyond the call of duty. And, through it all, Monica never lost her sense of humor. I will recommend Monica and the Blairfield team to anyone who is considering selling or buying a home. read more

Donna at Blairfield Realty was wonderful to work with throughout the home buying process. I met Donna while scoping out houses on my own, and she quickly won my business with her superior knowledge of the Austin real estate market and her design/renovation skills. Donna understood exactly what I wanted in my dream home and was quick to get me listing information on the most sought after homes the day they hit the market. Extremely patient, she walked me through many homes and was able to offer great insight on renovation ideas and help me visualize the potential of each space. With's Donna help, I was able to snatch a gem off the market the day it was listed and strategically handle a bidding war and win. Her experience in contract negotiation helped me win my dream home, and I was able to close quickly using her knowledgeable contacts for financing and inspection. I highly recommend Donna if your buying or selling a home in Austin. I've worked with other Realtors in the past, but none made the home buying process as easy or fun. Donna is very tapped into the Austin real estate market and is a great asset to have in your corner when buying/selling a home. read more

Sarah helped us find and secure our first home purchase in Austin after moving from overseas. We had been renting for over a year (Sarah helped us find our rental too) so knew the city quite well but knew nothing about the housing market. Sarah's extensive knowledge of the Austin market and which areas of the city were family friendly really helped us narrow down our search. We viewed almost 15 houses with her over a period of 6 weeks and each time she listened to our feedback and suggested properties that might be of interest or other areas to search in. Throughout the whole process Sarah was very responsive to messages and calls and worked round our schedule for viewings with our young family. When we finally found the perfect house Sarah helped us put in an offer that turned out to be really well positioned and then worked through all of the negotiation on the contract including a few repairs to the property. I don't think Sarah could have done any more to make the process easy for us and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for property in the Austin area. read more

Donna and her OUTSTANDING team helped my mom with the sale of her 1950s ranch-style house in 78704 recently. They were "with" her every step of the way, making what could have been a colossal project for us a piece of cake! They listed furniture for her on Craigslist, arranged and packed a POD, hauled away mountains of outdoor debris, cleaned and staged the house after it was emptied, and had two offers way above asking price immediately!! Not surprisingly, an older home like this one turned up some issues during inspection. Donna's construction expertise and connections to the rescue!! She arranged for and oversaw all necessary repairs, negotiating a deal that pleased both buyer and seller. From A to Z, working with Blairfield Realty was a fabulous experience. These are super professionals with unparalleled commitment to their clients. Oh, and they're darn nice folks, too, even driving my mom to closing and hand-delivering her final check! I wish I could give more stars - they deserve them!! read more

After we put our house on the market with one realtor and it sitting unsold for several months I had the distinct pleasure of meeting and speaking with Donna Miller at Blairfield in Austin, Texas. Donna is the most professional Realtor I have ever dealt with. She knew everything about our area, a few suggestions to get our house sold quicker, and once we listed with her, our house was sold in 2 weeks. She answered my questions fully and without hesitation. Once we sold our home she was able to find us a new house that met all our requirements This was a first in all my home buying years! Once I decided on the house that I desired to purchase, Donna worked with me to arrange the financing at the rate and the payment I wanted. This was absolutely the most pain free and enjoyable home buying experience I have had in all my home buying years. Based on Donnas professionalism, her "can do, will do" attitude, she has done she has gained a permanent customer and I would recommend her to anyone. read more

Every once in a while you come across a firm that is exceptional, one that surprises you with a level of service and expertise you'd not experienced in that field. When it comes to real estate Blairfield Realty is that firm for me. Through two home purchases and current rental real estate management, my experience with Donna and her team has been outstanding. Donna listens - I was surprised at how quickly she was able to find what I was looking for and the spot on advice. Having had such a great experience, I mentioned to Donna that I was not satisfied with my property management company. Donna introduced me to Lisa Holden who is head and shoulders above the previous firm I was using. Lisa cares for the properties as if they were her own, is efficient and highly responsive to the renters. It's wonderful working with happy people who love what they do and know what they are doing. read more

Audrey quickly sold my house - well above the asking price and within days of the listing. We had many competing offers. She really turned it around after another realtor had struggled to sell my house. She helped me thoroughly with every step of the process, with great suggestions that made the house shine like a new model home. She made it feel like an easy process. She helped prioritize possible improvements to minimize cost and maximize the effect, and even recommended professionals and set up appointments for me. She did a wonderful job with staging, and visited several times to make sure it was just right. I trusted that I could move out of state to my new home before the open house because everything was in good hands. (And I was right.) Audrey knows what she's doing and will make selling or buying as easy and successful as it can be. read more

In short, Donna knows what's up. She IS what's up. I've known her for years and have proudly watched her grow a mini empire out of thin air. She believes in herself, her abilities, her hunches, and she surrounds herself with those whose energy and authenticity matches her own. I recently moved out of state. When I first nailed down the specific window of time available to sell my house within, I knew I needed to call Donna. You couldn't pay me to have put my life in anyone else's hands. True to form, Donna, with the help of her talented crew, whipped my house into shape and produced multiple offers when listed on the MLS. Austin is obviously a magical, mystical land where opportunities arise that are hard to find anywhere else in the country (maybe even the universe). If you are in need of some real estate magic, contact Donna's shop TODAY. read more

I recently sold my Zilker home with the help of Audrey Lehmann Richard of Blairfield. Audrey and I had planned the sale of my home for months. As the listing date drew near, Covid19 hit the world. Audrey quickly updated our timeline, and we went to market and sold within 40 days. Although the coronavirus shifted the housing market with new unexpected obstacles such as a ban on open houses, Audrey was able to market the house and help me find a buyer. She was "all in" with me on selling my house. I never felt unheard. She listened to all of my suggestions, no matter how crazy. She earned every cent of her commission with her help with the landscaping, the painters, the cleaners, the staging, the negotiations and with the title company. She was magnificent with her attention to detail. There is no way that I could have sold it myself. read more

Audrey Richard is an exceptional realtor! If you are lucky enough to have her represent you, you will not be disappointed. She is extremely knowledgeable, honest, and devoted to her clients. My husband and I are quite picky and it took us a long time to choose our new home. Throughout the process Audrey was very patient with us. We relied heavily on her for all matters related to moving, buying, design, and negotiating. We left Texas multiple times for several months at a time while our home was being completed. During that time Audrey visited the property multiple times a week. She sent us weekly progress reports, photos and even picked up supplies for the house. Audrey went above and beyond as our realtor. I appreciated her straight forward and kind approach. We are very grateful for everything she did for us and highly recommend her. read more

We highly recommend Tami Shneidman for listing and buying a house. She is knowledgeable, smart, trustworthy, efficient, and can handle all aspects of the process. I was seriously blown away at her can do and full service approach. She gave great advice on pricing and make ready to sell our property as well as lined up all the people to do the work, met them at the property. If you want her to do it all she can which is a great skill in a realtor! When buying a property Tami helped us work through different options - we were looking did snow investment property - and once under contract was great at getting bids for repairs and helping negotiate the purchase price down. She's amazing, a mom of 3 kids so understands getting a lot done in small windows of time and she's a very honest and nice person to boot! read more

I have nothing but good to say about Blairfield Realty. Donna Miller sold my house before it even "officially" went on the market and within 5k of the original asking price. I contacted her after she informed me that she had some prospective buyers lined up who wanted to see the house to apologoze for not having had time to do more in the way of cleaning up the yard. She informed me that she had a crew coming to take care of everything so not to worry. I got home from work the next day to find the grass mowed, leaves cleaned up and a freah layer of mulch in all the beds. Wow! They really made the place look good. I found the advice I was given to be dependably accurate form start to finish and the whole process from listing agreement to closing took less than two months. Who could ask for more? read more

We chose Jeff Embree from Blairfield Realty, Austin to help us sell our home. His immediate and thorough engagement surpassed our expectations. He was always there to help, organize, advise and stand up for us. Jeff revealed his exemplary professional approach and his very warm and friendly personality. With his devoted effort our home was sold before listing! Jeff then continued to work with us in search of a new home and once we found it, he organized and completed all the steps needed to closing - most of it in our absence. For us it was smooth sailing all the way. Because of Jeff's complete engagement we have nothing but superlatives to describe his dedicated work and we can without any reservation, highly recommend Jeff Embree Ziga and Dunya T. read more

When I was ready to move I persuaded my husband to meet with a realtor. Donna Blair had several homes for sale in our neighborhood and I had a good feeling about her. After the first showing my husband was convinced. Not only did she find the perfect home for us but she sold our former home. We have a rental property and Blairfield introduced us to their agent, Lisa Holden, who manages our rental property. After my mother's passing our family decided to turn her home into a vacation rental. Once again the Blairfield team and Lisa came through for us. As far as residential real estate is concerned I honestly can't imagine a better company to work with. They are consummate professionals, trustworthy and very nice people. read more
