Chris was patient and graciously explained everything we needed to know as new home buyers, providing relevant insights into each property we were interested in.

During the stressful times (because we all know selling a home can be stressful at times), he was right there by our side bringing us coffee gift cards if you can believe it! He answered our dozens of phone calls and text messages without delay and was very patient answering our many questions (we were selling our first home, so we had lots of questions). You can tell he empathizes with his clients. He seems to really understand what his clients are going through and we could tell that he genuinely cares. Not only that, he is a fighter. He fights for his clients...for their wishes, needs and investments. As if that wasn't enough, we were able to get 98% of our original asking price which was set at a price above the average in our particular area! We were very pleased abut that to say the least because we had more equity in the home than we thought - and it was thanks to Chris and his determination and hard working attitude. We would recommend Chris Frickel to any family, friend, neighbor or stranger because I know he would take great care of them. Happy selling and hunting!

Jeffrey was recommended to us from a family friend, and we couldn't have been happier with our…read morefirst home buying experience. As first time home buyers, we worked with other real estate agents that didn't seem to have the drive and expertise that Jeff has. Knowing that Jeff grew up in the Austin area meant that we would have knowledge of every part of Austin, near the lake in areas like Lakeway, north of Austin in Pflugerville, and every in between Austin Proper and South Austin. He worked with us every step of the way and took the time to go above and beyond to understand what we wanted and needed in a home. He was patient while teaching us the steps we needed during the home buying process. We have referred him to family and friends, and we hope to be able to use him whether it is buying or selling again in the near future. Thank you for a truly incredible experience in this monumental time of our life, we couldn't navigate this aggressive market without you!

About this time last year, Sean was updating our home search database on a daily basis with new…read morelistings and patiently taking my husband and I to tour the ones that stood out. Our friends referred Sean to us after he helped them find their dream house. Tomorrow will be exactly one year from when we found our dream home in far south Austin, just listed that day and already toured three times before we squeezed in before the cut-off hour on a weeknight to see it. We knew instantly that we wanted it. Being first time home buyers, Sean coached us through the process, from making the first offer (that very day, day 0 on the market!), to submitting an escalation clause when we inevitably had to fight for the house against another offer, and all the many steps after that to close. We could reach him any time, day or night, with a text or a call. The convenience of digital signature forms kept the process moving and we closed within a month of making our offer. The process, though nerve wracking at times, was incredibly painless thanks to Sean's diligence, guidance and again, EXTREME PATIENCE with our million questions. He went above and beyond what we expected a realtor would and should do. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhoods throughout south Austin and taught us a few things about the development we moved into. He has since recommended a few contractors and vendors to help with home repairs, so his help continues to this day. If you're looking for a personable, honest and hard working realtor to guide you through the home search and buying process, I wholeheartedly recommend Sean McCormack.

My wife and completed our home buying odyssey in 2011... a long saga with tales of good and evil…read moreleading to a moment like no other... a brave new world, our home. In the not so distant past, evil Realtor overlords dominated the housing horizon. Time and again, we tried to shed these dream oppressors, but alas they seemed to be at every home purchase. Then came Sean... a seemingly unassuming, small town boy with big city dreams. While wandering away from his quaint village of "New York", he stumbled upon a strange, new, and decidedly weird world known as Austin. He sought a different path, one that only became clearer over time. By channeling his spirit in this sparse, south by southwestern community he found his calling... place people in their homes. Nurtured by the Austin oasis, this lone rebel fought the evil Empire for us. Our young warrior was not afraid to turn in a low bid or stand up to the dogmatic forces of proper real estate etiquette. "All they can say is no," said the boy as he became a master. From the vast hilly desert of SW Austin, through the hills and up to the highlands, Sean fought the good fight to put us in a home. Along the way, he dealt adamantly with real estate riffraff and fought for the little guy, establishing himself as a Realtor of the people. Now, as we move on to the next chapter in our lives, we'll forever be grateful to the agent who said "Those electrical boxes will catch on fire!" and "I wouldn't want a rat to fall on your face" and "Got you a free water heater." Truly a man of distinction. Thank you Sean Austin, and godspeed.

My girlfriend and I decided to make the jump and buy a home together. This would be a first home…read morefor me and a first "home together" for both of us. So you can imagine that the stress level had the potential to run high. Enter Toddy Bee! Todd made this process easy and comfortable. No matter our concerns, he was there every step of the way. We were always kept "in the loop" and he always, ALWAYS, followed up with us. Two things that stood out the very most (there are many) is that we NEVER felt pressured to make a move on anything we were not 100% sure of, and his patience with us. He never rushed the process, he was not going to let us do anything we were not going to be absolutely happy with. "I am in awe" with Toddy and his wife, Kim, the "Dream Team", and I will never hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.

We interviewed Todd and other agents when we were considering selling our house but had not yet…read moredecided to put it on the market. Todd spent an hour with us discussing our situation and came across as savvy, knowledgeable, well-resourced, confident, realistic and patient. He kept in touch occasionally in the succeeding months and, when we decided to go forward, worked with us to develop a sales plan, immediately producing a contractor who began work on the property. When a buyer expressed interest, Todd helped facilitate the loan. The sale itself went through without a hitch, largely because of Todd's support team ("The Todd Squad"), which expertly coordinated the various players, made sure all the paperwork was completed accurately, and kept things on schedule. Todd and his team are a formidable force--any seller would be very fortunate to retain them. Highly recommended.

Working with Scott was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We brought him on to list…read moreand sell an investment property, and he exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Scott's knowledge of the market, local area, and comparable properties was immediately evident. He came prepared, priced the property strategically, and his expertise clearly contributed to a fast, smooth sale with no hiccups along the way. What also set Scott apart was his communication. He was consistently responsive (even on Sundays) and proactive throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and ahead of every decision, exactly what you want when selling an investment property. We would recommend Scott without hesitation to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and results-driven realtor.

If you're reading this review and thinking about working with Scott to buy or sell your home (maybe…read moreboth), drop any notion of other brokers, read on, and then call or email him. Scott was referred to me by several friends, all of whom were very happy working with him on their sale and purchases, and I can see why. We started our conversation with Scott very early; he came to our house talked through the market, interest rates, factors impacting the market, did a quick walkthrough and made recommendations on fixes, adjustments, changes we could make, really arming us with the knowledge on what it would take to sell our house. If this wasn't enough, we actually contracted Scott to sell my mom's home down the road, which he was able to do in just under 15 days. We took his recommendations on fixes, his recommendations on suppliers/vendors, and on price. During a particularly tough time to sell, he made it happen, which really built a lot of confidence in my wife and I when it came time to selling our house. Once again, we followed his lead while looking at a bunch of homes to consider for ourselves. And once again, we were able to sell our place in about 15 to 20 days while still finding our new home. Our new home was a bit of challenge but Scott was up for it, walking us through the steps and things came down to the wire, but he pulled through, even while being out of the area on the final days. Working with Scott was an absolute pleasure - he is professional, asks questions to understand your priorities, communicates exceptionally well, is timely in his responses and is willing to say what needs to be said, even if its unpopular. He is always looking out for you as a buyer/seller and not the commisions he will potenitally earn. There's a reason he's one of the top brokers in the area. Read no more. Go call Scott. Now.

Ian has spent his entire life in Austin and has his finger on the pulse of the city and how it can best meet your needs and wish lists. Not only was Ian consistently on time (read: 10 minutes early) to all of our visits, but he was well dressed, patient, positive, and eager to help. I never had to wait more than an hour or two for his follow-up and he handled all action items immediately and with a smile. Ian wrapped up every one of our engagements with a recap of what we mutually agreed upon as well as a summary of next steps and who would be responsible for those. The thought of purchasing my first home had me riddled with anxiety and questions for several years. I have no doubt that had I gotten in touch with Ian sooner, I could have spared myself a lot of additional trouble that he sailed through with familiarity and ease. Please ask Ian for my contact info if you want more specific examples of my claims.
