My wife and I were first-time home buyers and went with Bramlett Partners based off reviews online…read more We ended up being contacted by Kiel Schmidt who was very professional and thorough regarding what the entire buying process would look like. He provides very clear communication regardless if you prefer calls/emails/text, and he was very accessible throughout the whole process. This was especially important as we were buying from out of state with the intention of moving to Austin soon. Kiel gave us recommendations for what pricing to start with and helped with negotiations as well as giving a recommendation for a home inspector so that we would be well prepared on the condition of the house during the option period. Negotiations were data-driven with comps in the area and he also provides monthly market analysis. I would definitely recommend Kiel for home buyers!

Carson was my buyer's agent when I was a first-time homebuyer, and I had a fantastic experience…read moreworking with him. He helped me sort through my priorities and ultimately find exactly the house I was looking for. Over the years, we regularly kept in touch about the market and my home's value. When it came time for me to move, there was no question that I wanted Carson to be my seller's agent as well. His advice on pre-sale preparation and pricing made a real difference. We received an offer within two weeks, while many other units in my development had been sitting on the market much longer, even after price adjustments. Having an experienced, knowledgeable agent like Carson guiding me through both buying and selling made all the difference. I would absolutely recommend him.

His operation was so smooth, that by the time we listed, we had offers waiting. His pricing was perfect to create interest but also right in the sweet spot to bid up. Our home in Travis Heights was sold in less than a week and I still can't believe the final sales price. Side note: After staging, I considered keeping the house as an Airbnb, but the price was too good.

Mark truly did an amazing job on selling our duplex! Our property was a unique one, and he was…read morequickly able to assess the best way to market it. As a former salesperson myself, I marveled at how well he managed us, the buyers, and the whole process. He truly took it all on, and we were able to be way less stressed and less burdened than any other real estate deal. In fact, after working with about 6 realtors in other transactions, I would definitively say he was the absolute best! Truly a gem. I will recommend him to friends and family for a long time!

We've worked with Michelle to buy our house in Austin and she's truly great to work with. She is…read moreeasy to communicate with and is reachable at all hours - we did have a few late night calls when discussing offers. In my opinion, what sets her apart is her understanding of the market, especially the Austin market which doesn't obey any set rules. Given the number of transactions she has handled, she has intimate knowledge of the market and knows what's happening all over Austin, not just in a specific neighborhood or zip code. She is also the first to point out neighborhood or house quirks and fully explores what that would mean to us as buyers. She does a lot of the property analysis even before going to the property and checks if those special considerations would be issues for our family. With Michelle, you'd be buying a house knowing what you are buying. She also helped rent out a house and handled the rental process seamlessly. Her deep knowledge of the market, her advanced skill level when tweaking offers, her amazing contacts for mortgage brokers and insurance agents and her ready availability to discuss all things real estate is what drives us to want to go to Michelle when we have another real estate need!

He's friendly, attentive, responsive, reasonable and doesn't hesitate to share his feedback, good & bad, or just for things I hadn't thought of. I was looking for someone with an experienced perspective, not just a yes-person, and that was my experience with him. On the selling side, some of my family had agents in the past who went unreasonably overboard with staging or bending over backwards for prospect buyers, and that was not my experience here, which I'm very grateful for. We dealt with a Prospect buyer/agent combo who were at times unreasonable, waited until the last minute to ask for things & where the agent didn't do a good job at managing their clients' expectations, and Jason handled a lot of those tougher interactions before I even had to, and was instrumental to getting us through close. On the buying side, he was a great guide & we closed without issues, in the neighborhood I was shooting for & within my budget.

I cannot say enough good things about Victoria and my experience with Smart City! I've worked with…read moreVictoria for the past two years, and she has gone above and beyond every single time to help me find an apartment that actually feels like me. Apartment hunting is incredibly overwhelming and stressful, the options out there are endless, and a lot of apartments are deceiving, but Victoria somehow makes the entire process feel so much less scary and so much more manageable. She is patient, attentive, incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about finding the right home for me -- not just getting me into an apartment. I trust Victoria completely, which says a lot. I've sent her paragraphs of apartment requirements, questions, and probably way too many messages at all hours of the day, and she has always been incredibly patient and helpful. She listens to what I'm looking for, remembers the little details, and puts real thought into finding options that fit my needs. She has exceeded every expectation I could have had for an apartment locator. One thing that really stands out to me is that I ended up signing for an apartment that unfortunately no longer works with apartment locators. Even though Victoria wasn't able to be involved in the process in the same way, she has continued to be incredibly supportive and helpful. That really says everything about the kind of person she is. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants them to be happy, even when there's nothing in it for her. This was my second year working with Victoria, and the fact that I continue to come back to her speaks for itself. She has made what could be one of the most stressful parts of moving feel exciting and even fun. Victoria has set the bar incredibly high, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for an apartment in Austin. She is the first person I would send my friends, family, and coworkers to without hesitation. I'm so grateful for everything Victoria has done for me over the past two years. She is truly an incredible apartment locator, and Smart City is lucky to have someone like her representing the company. If you're looking for an apartment, ask for Victoria -- you will not regret it!

Jordan, was nice enough. But I had to give him the area I was interested in. He did very little…read morelegwork other than tell me what I already had found out. I gave Jordan the phone number to the management properly that I eventually rented from! I would not recommend Jordan or his company for two reasons. 1.) After explaining to Jordan what I was looking for a lower crime neighborhood and less transient people. Jordan recommended The Summit apartments where residents expressed numerous transient issues. (Jordan does not know the properties at all he is just in sell mode to get his commission) 2.) They, Jordan and Smart City, are just interested in "closing the deal" and have very little sway with the properties. They, Smart City, doesn't hit multiple properties. Smart city just pushes the properties on a preselected list where I suspect Smart City gets the most commission. The leadership cannot be that great if this is their business plan! Push the properties on their preselected list! Like I said I had to go to the neighborhood that I liked, 45th and Guadalupe, and get a flier from one of the properties and then call the properties listed on the flier. I ended getting the apartment on my own. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.. Smart City only wants to close the deal and collect full commission on the least amount of effort on their part. I will not do business again with Smart City! Such a waste of time!

Incredibly Honest and Trustworthy Realtor…read more I can't say enough good things about my experience with Paul Reddam. Most agents are eager to close a deal, but he took the time to truly understand my situation and gave me advice that wasn't in their own immediate interest--they actually told me not to sell. After evaluating the market and my financials, Paul explained that selling right now would likely lead to a loss and wasn't the smartest move for me. That level of honesty and integrity is rare, and it's something I deeply respect and appreciate. It was clear that he genuinely had my best interests at heart rather than just trying to make a sale. If you're looking for someone who will be upfront, ethical, and truly on your side, I highly recommend Paul. I'll absolutely be working with him again when the time is right! --Danny N.

They told me…read moreat the outset what to expect, what challenges we'd need to address, and how long the process would take--predictions that all proved to be spot on. Marquette had a great instinct for who would be interested in buying the home then helped me attract them. She gave solid advice on what repairs were and weren't needed and how to stage everything, and then wrote marketing materials that showcased the home beautifully. Once the house was ready to list, we sold quickly to pretty much exactly the type of family Marquette predicted, and for the price I expected. Paul and Marquette communicated promptly and clearly throughout and got me through the process with minimal stress and no surprises. I'd recommend Homesville to any buyers or sellers.
