I first met Mr. Bashaw at a training he did on something called a Home Path Renovation Loan. After…read morethe training, I contacted Mr. Bashaw and completed a loan application. It all went south after that. There were communication problems from beginning to end. His team failed to clearly explain (I honestly don't think Bubba or his team knew the Home Path Renovation Loan process) that a HUD consultant would need to be involved with the Home Path Renovation Loan for which we applied. This oversight costs us weeks of critical time and contributed to our loan file being significantly delayed. The most remarkable error (one which I reported to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) was that Bubba's team ordered the appraisal through an Appraisal Management Company that was rejected by the investor underwriting our loan. This error resulted in even further delays in our loan file and caused our seller to require a substantial increase in earnest money commitment in order to extend our contract date. This mistake was simply a matter of Mr. Bashaw and his team not understanding the loan product he sold us. We ultimately switched lenders and were able to close on our home, but the drama and rollercoaster ride we were on because of Bubba and his team's incompetence was an experience I would not wish on anyone.

This was our first time to deal with the selling and buying of a home at the same time and we were…read morenot prepared for the stresses we were going to go through. After wasting so much time with a big bank and getting the worst news with about two weeks to go, Austin's Lender stepped up and delivered in amazing fashion. Everybody was a joy to speak with and did everything to set our minds at ease. Austin's Lender kept in contact with us and kept us in the loop about the process. This is something we were NOT getting from the big bank. They never made us feel as if we were a bother. Everybody was forthcoming and approachable and that made a HUGE difference in our experience and stress levels. Our experience from first call to close has been outstanding and I will recommend Austin Lenders to any of my family and friends to use for their home buying needs.

Raymond Day, with Blue Water Realty, has been amazing in helping me rent out my house quickly and…read morewithout any glitches. Without his help, things would have been so confusing and drawn out. Raymond advised me on matters such as rental rates, how to handle payments, getting the house ready for rental, listing and showing the house. Without much notice, we needed to rent our house out, and were moving out of state. Raymond made things so easy! He handled everything, and has been available and accessible during the whole process, as well as throughout the lease. I highly recommend Raymond if you are looking to rent your house out, trying to find a place to live, or even selling your house. I plan to use Raymond when I list my house for sale in the near future.

Despite a pretty complicated purchase situation due to issues with the seller, we were able to sit back and put our utmost trust in Tomas and Brooke.

He knows the market in Austin exceptionally well and was able to advise us on which areas of town would best fit our needs while giving us good value for our money. Tomas was able to explain all processes to us, and we had some complicated processes that came up during our home search so I am glad that we were working with someone as knowledgeable as Tomas. A less experienced, less educated realtor may have faltered in some of those situations. Overall, our home buying process was a somewhat longer one. We were in a good situation with our rental and were not in a huge rush to find the perfect place. Additionally, my husband and I were not always on the same page as to what we were looking for. Tomas was patient with us and worked with us to try to figure out what would be the best fit for us. He showed us a lot of properties and was always on the lookout for new listings that might fit our needs. The first house that we found was a bankruptcy listing which we did not get due to a former lien filed on the house. Tomas went above and beyond with the court system contacts and fought for us every step of the way. Tomas picked things right back up after we got that disappointment, and we eventually found a house that is a much better fit and a better value than the previous find. I highly recommend Tomas and have actually already referred multiple friends looking to buy homes to him.
