TL/DR: Timothy is the best ever, work with him!…read more I connected with Timothy 6 months ago and casually inquired about an out of state move to Austin. Despite our passive interest, he took so much time with us early on to make us comfortable with even the thought of pursuing such a big life change. His dedication to us from the start is a big reason we decided to actually try to make this move happen. He was always available to talk through scenarios, go to open houses, answer questions, etc. Once we were set on moving and went under contract on the right home, he was on top of the builder, contractors, timelines, and all the moving pieces. He visited the property unprompted several times to give us updates. Now here I am, sitting in my house, that I never really thought I'd be able to get, in an amazing city, starting a new adventure, all because of Timothy. I wish I could give something to him to show him my immense gratitude. I will be recommending him to anyone I meet!!

We started our home buying journey with a few realtors referred to us, but for one reason or…read moreanother, they didn't work out. Then we were recommended the Brinkman Team, and right from the start, they were responsive and professional. Choosing them turned out to be a great decision. We were assigned Joelle, and let me just say, she's a vibe for sure! From the first meeting, she was communicative, responsive, and honest. She toured multiple homes with us, pointing out issues like awkward layouts or homes that wouldn't suit us long term. Her honesty and advice were exactly what we needed. We finally came across a home we loved from the pictures and set up a tour. But that same evening, someone put in an offer, and it was showing as pending or active contingent depending on the various apps. This is where Joelle excelled, and I think this is the difference between an okay realtor and a great one. She encouraged us to go see it anyway, explaining that deals can fall through and it doesn't hurt to check it out. When we saw the home, it was by far the best one we'd looked at in our price range. Joelle went to bat for us, reaching out to the listing agent, staying on top of the situation, and sure enough, that buyer's contract fell through. The situation was a bit unusual, involving solar panels, but Joelle navigated it seamlessly. After the inspection, she walked us through every detail, helping us prioritize what to negotiate. In the end, she negotiated $40k off the list price! Nearing the end, the final appraisal came in above the negotiated price which was definitely a huge win for us! I bring all the above up because things can get messy, and you better hope you have a capable realtor to navigate through it. We were so lucky to have Joelle in our corner. Beyond the buying process, she connected us with a property management company for our current home and recommended contractors to prepare the new one before moving in. The only downside was the Compass app the team uses. It lacked functionality, didn't allow favorites in map view, and missed the neighborhoods we were interested in. All the homes we toured came from a different app, and we had to manually add them to Compass to keep Joelle informed. While this doesn't reflect on Joelle or the team directly, it was a bit of a frustration. Overall, Joelle and the Brinkman Team knocked it out of the park. If you're looking for a realtor who's honest, experienced, and client focused, Joelle is the one you want in your corner. Highly recommend!

Craig is the absolutely best! We are so lucky to have found him through the Dave Ramsey ELP program…read morewhen we did. Our goal was to find a realtor that understood how important it was for us to become 100% debt-free (not even a mortgage) but we got more than we expected. Craig has EXTENSIVE knowledge in the industry, has a very peaceful/calm presence, and has all the patience in the world to. I know this because we had a ton of questions and Craig always answered them so eloquently. In late 2020, we sold our home in California and had enough money to buy a 2 year old home with all CASH in Georgetown, TX!!! Craig literally went to go see the house on Black Friday, put the offer in that weekend and our offer was accepted in Monday night. We closed in record time. Now that we're settled into our new place we're hearing how difficult it is to buy or rent a house in the Northern Austin area and are SO thankful that we bought when we did. Thank you Craig!! And thank you for continuing to answer my random texts about our new house.

What I love about Craig is his patience. Home buyers can be a crazy, fickle bunch - always changing…read moretheir minds at the last minute - but Craig just listens and writes down what you want ( or don't want) and makes adjustments accordingly. He knows the Austin and surrounding areas like the back of his hand and always seemed to have another option up his sleeve. During the purchase of my home he asked the builder all the right questions ( and several I never would have thought of). He's very knowledgeable of the local tax rates and advises you on what your long term costs could be - not just what today's purchase price will be. Buying a home can be a highly stressful and emotional experience. I read a review that Craig could be " curt" or " prickly" which simply isn't true. His demeanor is one of calmness and focused LISTENING. He takes the emotion out of the equation so you can make an INTELLIGENT, rational decision - which in my book is way more important than someone stroking my ego or protecting my feelings. Buying a home is the single most expensive purchase most people will do in their lives - and I need someone who will keep me grounded and realistic about this huge purchase. Craig is that person. Working with Craig was, by far, my easiest home-buying experience and I HIGHLY recommend him!

I generally hate posting reviews, but it's 100% necessary in this case: Matt is AMAZING. My husband…read moreand 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!!

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!

We had a great experience with Nipur when we bought our home in SF! We met him during one of the…read moreopen house tours and decided to work with him because we was very professional, polite and helpful. While we didn't have a typical search for a home - we did work with Nipur directly from the pre-offer stage all the way through the end of key-handover, and he made it an incredibly simple and seamless experience. During the offer stage, he was not pushy at all, but rather gave me the right resources and real estate stats that proved crucial to coming up with my offer price. He was very easy to get in touch, even though both him and I were traveling right before and after the offer deadline. He was more like a friend when guiding me though the offer, giving me an honest account of the various formalities and which ones were important. He was resourceful - he called my insurance agent on my behalf to set up the insurance contact, he constantly kept in touch with my lender to ask them for exactly the items needed for the offer. After the offer he helped me through the escrow window - he went over the Home disclosure agreement with me, and even got his colleague to answer my very specific questions, both about the property as well as the loan agreement. He was accommodating when we asked for a second showing of the unit during our parents' visit. Throughout the process, it really felt like we were working with a friend and were comfortable in asking a lot of questions and his opinions. We had a great experience and would highly recommend Nipur as a friendly and professional agent :)

We met Nipur at one of the many many open houses we visited alone, and were just very impressed with his professionalism and helpfulness at the open house. It was out of our price range, but rather than dismiss us as non-buyers for that unit he was great is understanding what we liked, why and where we might be able to find a unit with those attributes in our price range. As we moved through the process he was a partner and helpful in discussing how to make the best offer for us that would position us as best as we were able. We didn't win every bid, but the offer was well positioned and where we were comfortable. When we finally did place a bid that could win, he helped us find the right way to stand out and win a highly competitive process for a unit we loved without having to just pay way over. Nipur is a great agent and I would and will work with him again when we sell our place and buy the next one.
