This is now the fifth time we have worked with Mike Cossette, and there is a reason we keep coming…read moreback. Mike originally helped us find our very first home after moving to Texas, and most recently, he helped us find our absolute dream home. With his help, we were able to sell our current property and finally start living the dream life we've worked toward. Even in an incredibly tough market, Mike navigated the sale of our property with ease. Selling a home you've put so much into requires a specific, thoughtful strategy, and Mike delivered exactly that. What we appreciate most--and why we've trusted him five times over--is his exceptional communication. He truly listens, understands our needs, and kept us grounded with consistent, honest check-ins. Mike has a rare ability to balance high-level market expertise with a personal touch that makes you feel like his top priority every single time. Whether you are buying or selling, Mike is a true advocate who gets results when the market is challenging. We can't recommend Mike Cossette highly enough!

We contacted Mike as a seller agent to help us market and sell our house. Mike was very courteous…read moreright from the first phone call. He was also very knowledgeable about the Market. On our first visit, Mike and Tyler visited with us and took the time to walk the property and ask relevant questions and take down notes. They came back with a marketing proposal. Mike then scheduled a meeting with his staging consultant Gina. Both Gina and Mike were very patient and took the time to walk the entire property with us giving us ideas on how to make the house presentable inside and out. The one thing we really liked that Mike said was to make this as enjoyable as we can and not to stress it. That was a huge relief, and it actually worked out quite well. We took down all the points and executed to plan. Once everything was ready on our end, Mike visited again to do a final check and as well as have a profession photography session. Once the photos came back and proofed, that night the house went on the market. Mike and team already had their marketing machinery ready to go into action right away. It is amazing that within the first 3 days we had 3 offers. Thanks to Mike and team the entire process went through very smooth. He walked us through all the remaining procedures, as well as came to closing with us which was honestly very comforting. This is a big deal for somebody who is doing this for the first time. Once again, thank you to Mike and his team for a job well done! Keep up the great work. We highly recommend Michael Cossette and team.

Rod found us our dream home!…read more Our good friend referred us to Rod in summer 2020. We had quite a few major *must have* items but wanted to spend a bit less than the market was asking. We viewed five homes with Rod, all of which we loved but they weren't "the one." Despite our tall orders for asks we wanted in our home, Rod was able to find us the perfect little home in Cedar Park that included everything we had hoped for! From the beginning, Rod provided a detailed overview of what the process would look like and things to expect along the way, as this was my first time buying a house. He was always easy to get in touch with, emailed us daily listings with our preferences, assisted with securing the mortgage, helped us with negotiating, and celebrated with us at the end of the process! We are beyond thrilled with the services and assistance he has provided and we couldn't be more grateful to him!

I was so lucky to have connected with Ben, and I recommend trusting only him with your home sale…read more I was given Ben's name from someone who successfully bought a home with Ben's representation. I am in a different state from the home I was selling in Round Rock, so it was imperative that I found someone who could help long distance. Ben communicated everything to me to make sure I knew what was going on at all times. He was key in helping me figure out repairs that needed to be made pre-sale, helped coordinate those repairs, and even offered to do a couple things. He also recommended a price to sell the home at. It was perfect because I got 6 offers within hours of putting the home on the market, and it sold for substantially over asking price. Even in a seller's market, proper pricing is an art and skill, and the only way that multiple offers over asking price happened was because Ben knew how to price it and market it. He made the entire escrow process smooth and it closed as expected. There was no stress to me, and it was a great transaction. He was always available when I needed to talk with him. I know he had other clients, but he really made me feel like my sale was as important to him as it was to me. He valued me and my transaction. You really don't need to talk with anyone else if you contact Ben. He'll be the only realtor you'll need.

I've literally been harassed by this Real Estate Company. Apparently, like a year and a half ago, I…read morefilled out an online form asking to be sent a list of properties for sale in Austin. Since then, this company has called and emailed me many times. I thought not responding would send the message they need, but instead this morning I get a text message from them. Basically, I asked to be removed from their call list, and said that they should re-think their approach at reaching out to people. Texting? Seriously?! This person then responded, argumentatively, calling me hostile and asking what I do for a living. So, you get a bunch of your friends on Yelp to write you 5 star reviews. That's not helping your business. So someone "passed you a list of names" (which, let's be honest, you purchased) and mine just happens to be on there - you've called me and emailed me and my no response isn't sending you the message you need. So, you resort, desperately, to texting me (I've never heard of this marketing approach - ever) asking me personal information when I have NO IDEA who you are - and then when I express that frustration you call me hostile and argue with me. Nice business approach. No wonder you're so desperate for business you're resorting to harassing people over text.

Matt is consummate professional when it comes to helping find you a home that fits your budget and…read moredesired criteria. I worked with Matt for a few months trying to find a place to buy as a first time buyer. He was detailed, open, friendly, and ensured I was aware of all of the nuances of buying a home. He found a lot of options in the areas I was looking and I still remember the voicemail he left telling me "hey man, I found the house you're going to buy, let's get over and look at it asap." A little over a month later, I closed on my first home - an awesome condo with a downtown view located near a lot of fun restaurants, the lake and its trails, and a big community garden. It was exactly what I wanted and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for property in the Austin area. He genuinely works hard to find something you'll love and makes time for you anytime you need him. It was an enjoyable experience working with Matt.

Alright, alright, alright. Where do we start? My wife and I met Chris Matthews back in…read moreOctober/November of 2024. We connected through a Homes.com search--ran filters for realtors with the highest volume of buy & sell transactions over the last five years--and he was at the top of our list. We had a few referrals from our network, but Chris was incredibly responsive, and our first call was solid. Long story long, we moved to Austin around that time, and Chris was there from the very start. He's direct in the kindest sense of the word, and he 1000% loves what he does. He figured out what we liked and didn't like, but that honestly didn't matter much because we had no idea where we wanted to live. Throughout the holidays, we went into escrow--then had to pull our offer days before closing due to the inspection. Chris's response? "If you guys want to change directions, we can start looking for new properties tomorrow." This was after he spent two hours inspecting the place himself, pushing the builder to add new gutters, fix the lawn's grading, and leading the blue tape charge on 3,500 square feet. Later, he talked us through properties that looked great in person but wouldn't appraise on paper, and ultimately, he helped us land the perfect place. Frankly, the guy knows every aspect of a real estate transaction inside and out. I don't know if he's so well off that time doesn't matter, but he had to lose money on us. He over-invests, and odds are, you'll make a good friend in the process--like we did. There are a bunch of other stories that highlight Chris's dedication, the depth of his network, and how ridiculously motivated he is. He's an awesome negotiator, incredibly patient, and an even better person.

We…read morewere able to search for homes, tour them, make offers, close, and even handle follow-up work entirely remotely for our secondary home, and that was possible only because of Chris. He made the entire process seamless and stress-free. A few key highlights: Targeted home search: Chris set up highly specific search criteria that delivered properties perfectly aligned with our needs--including some that hadn't even hit Redfin yet. Effortless touring experience: Touring homes was a breeze. We received live walk-throughs, detailed video tours, and thorough follow-ups to every question we had. Market expertise & offer strategy: Chris provided comps along with valuable insights into market conditions. His guidance helped us craft highly competitive offers, and we're thrilled with the deal he helped us negotiate. Support beyond the sale: After closing, Chris continued to be incredibly helpful. He's well-connected and provided excellent recommendations and contacts, which made it easy for us to get started with everything we needed. Overall, we are extremely happy to have worked with Chris and look forward to partnering with him again!

I was in contact with Marc Pulver before our big move to Austin from Oregon. He SEEMED really nice…read moreand professional over the phone and we were excited that someone was going to work with us in finding an apartment. For some reason once we got to Austin, Marc ignored ALL of my phone calls and emails. Luckily we were able to find a place within the two days of moving (ended up taking over someone's lease and now we're are living off of Congress Ave- 10 min walk to downtown). If Marc was not interested in helping us due to either the amount we were willing to spend on rent or he actually had something more important going on, he should have at least called or emailed us explaining that he would be unable to help. I found it rude and unprofessional. They also use the website that goes by http://youraustinrealtors.com/

You can't get any better service than what we received from Fine Austin Living. The attention we…read morereceived from their staff, especially Marc Pulver, was superior. Marc showed us homes from Austin to as far out as Liberty Hill which is at least 50 miles round trip every time and with gas prices the way they are he didn't hesitate one bit. That is certainly going the extra mile for a prospective client. After looking at many homes Marc came through for us. We found that rare diamond in the rough and we mean GEM; 2.7 acre treed lot with a custom built 3900 sq foot one level 3 car garage home constructed in 2004. The driveway was newly poured last year and is actually 450 feet long. Can you say AWESOME! Marc successfully negotiated the price for us; coming in under $412K. You can't find a home like this in Georgetown for under $570K. On top of the great staff like Marc, Fine Austin Living has great connections such as inspectors and loan financing. As a retired military using VA, Marc hooked us up with a mortgage broker that new her stuff about VA loans. She literally was able to lock us in at 3.75% with no closing costs. We've dealt with brokers and mortgage lenders in the past that didn't know much about VA financing but Marc and Fine Austin Living certainly had top notch connections that came through for us at all levels. Marc was always available and very responsive to all of our questions from earnest money to appraisals and surveys. Now every morning we wake up and sit on our huge back deck or front deck and watch deer and wild turkey cross our lot. Talk about serenity that is within minutes of civilization which is all thanks to Fine Austin Living, Marc and all their supporting elements. Marc and Fine Austin Living is my realtor choice in the future but that won't be necessary after they found us our dream home. We highly recommend contacting Marc Pulver and Fine Austin Living for your dream home.
