I was impressed by their quick turn around times and attention to detail. Closing was simple and fast. I was particularly impressed with the kids area they had in the closing room.

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Masters Touch Custom Homes. We hired…read morethem for a total renovation of our home, and the results are truly fantastic. Matt Bailey was incredible to work with from the very beginning. The entire team showed a level of professionalism, respect, and meticulous attention to detail that is rare to find in the industry. We lived in the home during the 8 month process and felt very comfortable with Matt's trades and subs. They never cursed, ate or drank in our home, listened to loud music and even removed dirty shoes without us asking. To speak to the level of detail and care, Matt always had a plan to reduce dust and the mess right down to zippered entrances to portioned off active work areas. What truly set Masters Touch apart was their communication. They kept us informed every step of the way, stuck to the timeline they provided, and were completely transparent about the budget. When unexpected issues arose, as they inevitably do with any large-scale renovation, they were on top of it immediately and presented solutions that were both effective and thoughtful. Matt is quick to respond even when the subject is a problem. The craftsmanship is absolutely superb, and we are constantly receiving compliments on the high-quality finishes. We now have a home that not only looks stunning but also functions perfectly for our family. For anyone considering a major home renovation, we highly recommend Masters Touch. They are honest, skilled, and dedicated to their craft.

My wife and I are relocating to the Austin TX area from Northern California where I have lived…read moresince emigrating almost 25 years ago from England. We were recommended to speak with Alisa from Texas Realty about a short-term rental whilst we look for our forever home. Alisa bent over backwards so to speak calling us multiple times a day with listings that would be suitable for our budget and our needs as we have a couple of dogs and need somewhere where they can have some space and be acceptable to the landlords etc. Within 24 hours of our first call, we had approximately 20 homes within our budget, selected area's and our needs provided via e-mail by her. We searched through the listings, narrowed it down to 3 or 4 that we really liked and emailed her with the list. Several hours later we received a call from her saying that our first choice, an almost brand new home, was available and made the necessary arrangements between herself and the agent representing it for us to apply. The application process was fast and simple, we paid the application fees and within 48 hours we were approved our first home. A flurry of emails quickly followed, forms were filled in, calls exchanged and documents signed. I have never experienced a smoother transaction and it's safe to say that we have a realtor for life. Alisa is professional, courteous, hardworking, polite, friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with. The whole process was done without us even leaving our living room and without us having to fly five hours each way to go and view the house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to absolutely anybody considering a move to the greater Austin area.

We recently purchased a new house and sold our old house with Tanya and cannot say enough good…read morethings about our experiences with her. Throughout the whole process, Tanya made herself available any time of day/night (we have small children). She was extremely responsive to all of our questions/requests whether it was via phone/e-mail/text and was always patient with us. There are a lot of highs and lows during a house search and Tanya was good at bringing us off of the lows and providing viable alternatives when things were not working out. Buyer Side On the buyer side, she patiently helped us find exactly what we wanted. We originally intended to build a new home in southwest Austin. She was very knowledgeable of the builders in the area and warned us on certain builders that have given other buyers problems. After several site visits to builders in our target area, it became clear we were not going to get absolutely everything we wanted on our list. Tanya helped us not get frustrated and instead provided viable alternatives. After even more home visits, we eventually found a listing for a house that looked like it met ALL of our requirements. Tanya very quickly got a visit scheduled and it was the house of our dreams. She quickly drafted an offer and provided advice on how to approach a multiple offer situation. Unfortunately, the seller's realtor failed to tell us they had already accepted an offer that day. Tanya broke the bad news to us but already had a list of things we should do in case the offer fell through. I personally had already given up hope, but because of Tanya's persistence, we continued down the trail of being prepared if the first offer fell through. Sure enough, we get a call from Tanya a few days later saying the offer fell through and she had a revised offer drafted in lightning speed to submit again. She again provided very helpful advice on how to structure our offer to show the seller we were serious buyers. She also encouraged us to write a letter to the sellers (which we did) so they could get to know a little bit about the family who would be taking their home into its next chapter. In the end, they accepted our offer over the others. We are convinced that Tanya's stellar advice are what differentiated us from other offers. From there, Tanya really took care of everything and just let us know when she needed something from us. She let us be as hands-on or hands-off as we wanted throughout the process, even going to meet various vendors at the new house when we could not make it. I know there were a lot of tedious things to do to close but Tanya coordinated it all and made it easy on us. Closing was eventless as you want it to be and it was due to all the work Tanya put in before that. Seller Side Tanya made the selling side even easier. She did all the research to find the right price point. Tanya recommended and brought in an amazing photographer and prepped the house for pictures. I was blown away by the listing and I would have put an offer on it if it weren't already my house. The day after the listing went up, we had at least four offers. After a little back and forth, we accepted an offer over asking price. Tanya again did all the heavy lifting after that and coordinated requests from the buyer and their realtor. All we had to do was fill out a few forms, show up for closing, and cash the check!

But a year or two ago I had to sell my home in Cedar Park quickly as I had already moved to another state. A friend recommended Annette and I'm glad he did. She was quick, efficient and got me a great deal on the sale. I couldn't have done it myself and I'm sure she got me a better price than I would have fetched. Plus, she eliminated the headaches of all the back and forth negotiating with the buyer and her agent. Annette was there for the property inspection, she simply took care of everything. She even helped me liquidate appliances and furniture I didn't want to have to move. The best part was, she left me secure in the knowledge that my interests would be represented fairly and left me with the confidence that I would max out the potential net from the sale. And I did. Thanks, Annette. Oh, we're not in Kansas anymore!!!!

Upon move-in, we were told the upstairs & downstairs had separate AC units with 2 different thermostats controlling each. After bringing up the heating issues, the AC tech informed us that the thermostat downstairs does not control anything & the entire house is running on one unit. The doors were never correctly sealed, resulting in terrible temperature control on the first floor. After mentioning a gas leak to Annette, she agreed to address the issue immediately. She did not address the issue for 4 days. Upon move-out, Annette took over half of our deposit (1 month's rent) without any backup, rhyme, or reason. Aside from how poor her skills are as a property manager, I could not in good conscience recommend her as a real estate agent. She is very deceitful.

Buying and selling a home is a deeply personal and somewhat fraught endeavor…read more We were very fortunate to work with Peter Stiles at the Stiles agency both when we were selling our home, and when the time came to buy our new home. Peter is very thoughtful and knowledgeable. He took to time to get to know our long term and short term goals and helped us to achieve them. With Peter's insightful guidance we made some simple cosmetic adjustments to our home and within a very short time we had multiple offers on our home. Peter guided us through the full process and I'm confident that we made the right choice. When it came time to buy our next home, Peter once again demonstrated his understanding of what it was we were looking for. Peter is so adept at identifying potential issues in homes, and making reasonable suggestions for addressing them, that my children started calling him "Sherlock Homes, the house detective." No drama, just clear thoughts on what might be a problem, and how it can be fixed. This was by far one of the nicest things about working with Peter. He looks at homes and he sees the full potential and has a realistic understanding of the journey to unlock that potential. He'll guide you through deciding what is best for your family. Such a gift!
