A few days later it was listed and went live. 5 days in we accepted an offer. We closed when I wanted, he was very responsive and helpful in answering my questions the entire time.

Wants you to get the best deal possible and have the best experience along the way. Thank you Andrew!

We were living out of state and couldn't be on-site, but Matt handled everything, from prepping the property to coordinating touch-ups, with precision and care. He made sure our home looked fantastic and was ready to impress. When the offers came in, Matt helped us weigh our options with clarity and confidence. His advice was thoughtful, his communication was spot-on, and his instincts were clearly backed by experience. We ended up with a great sale price and zero stress. If we ever sell again, Matt will be our first call. He's not just a realtor, he's the kind of professional who makes you feel like your home is in the best possible hands.

He got us late night showings that worked with our schedules, and he was extremely thorough with our walkthroughs when it came to checking out roof, floor, and window health as well as anything else important and potentially costly. He taught us a lot about home owning in general, and was always available when we had questions. He also made us aware of grants that were available to us that we had no idea existed, which saved us a ton of money on our down payment and closing costs. I truly cannot recommend Matt enough!

I Wish I would have done a review on Allen Leigh Estates a long time ago as it has been 3 years…read moresince I rented from them. I could have saved a lot of headache for others as I have found out from a number of other people that have dealt with them that they are NOT so pleasant to deal with. Here it is. Allan Leigh Estates- By far the worst people to rent from EVER! These people are FRAUDS! The woman actually lost her real estate license because she was fraudulently altering documents! But lets start from the beginning. I looked at a house in Austin for rent, and I told them I'd be interested in the place as long as the carpet could get removed as it was saturated in urine. They agreed they can remove the carpet and either put new carpet in or if the hardwood floor was in good shape they would redo the hardwood floor. After the carpet had been removed they invited me back to take a look. I WAS BLOWN AWAY! It looked like they gave a 2 yr old child a paint brush and a can of polyurethane. It literally looked like they spilled the can of poly and just left it to dry! It was TERRIBLE and I mentioned it to the " owner " of Allen Leigh and he FLIPPED OUT ON ME and said they were going to keep my deposit reguardless if I decided to stay in the place or not! So after being scared I'd loose my 800 dollar deposit, I rented from Allan Leigh. I was there for a total of a yr and a couple months, and was never late on payments. When I gave them the notice I was leaving all was well. Until a month or so passed and they tried charging me for another months rent. I called them over and over and no answer. Left text messages and nothing back! I was ready to go to court. But they just dropped it. Don't take anything from these SLUMLORDS. Also I was in the middle of buying a house and the Loan company had to verify from them that I have been paying rent for at least a yr and have no late payments. Allan Leigh wouldn't even cooperate. BOGUS company! They should be ashamed of themselves! VERY VERY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY. BAD PEOPLE WITH BAD MORALS

That was a…read morebig part of the reason, the main reason, that I went with Christianson Plumbing & Heating to fix our gas fireplace. They were also recommended to my wife in a Facebook group when she asked for a recommendation. They also said that they charged no dispatch fee which was excellent news since we live out in the country. The pilot light wasn't working and I am less than qualified to work on a gas-anything. Their man came out on time with no problems. Nice guy. He determined that the issue was the pilot light fixture and they would order a replacement. After they received the pilot light fixture, our issues with Christianson Plumbing & Heating began. Our original appointment for install was placed on November 4th for November 10th between 12:30pm and 1:00pm. We felt this was perfectly reasonable since they were waiting on a part and of course that takes time. The day came and at 8:15 they rescheduled us for November 12th between 2:00pm and 2:30pm. Missing work for a last minute change like that is very frustrating. On the 11th they changed it again with no explanation. This wasn't a big deal as it was just an hour earlier. Then on the 12th, 9 minutes before our scheduled appointment time, they rescheduled us again for the 18th, again no explanation. They proceeded to reschedule us three more times at different times on the 18th. In between these appointments we called, usually with no answer and no calls back, many times. I'll attach the rescheduling texts I received. Their man installed the pilot light fixture on the 18th and both the pilot light and fireplace as a whole worked. Until he left. After he left the fire stopped working but the pilot light was working fine. When we called about it not working again, the reason for failure changed. Now it was two things. The first was that our thermostat couldn't handle our older fireplace. We needed to install a more basic thermostat that isn't programmed but is only tuned to a specific adjustable temperature and is American made. Second was that our fireplace is over 30 years old (it isn't) and is past its life cycle. We decided we did not want to work with them and risk the rescheduling issues again and so we stopped and received our bill. It was over $600. For a still non-working fireplace. Lo and behold they do charge a dispatch fee, one that was especially expensive since we lived in the country. Obviously we were charged for the part and obviously professional labor isn't cheap, but that was too much to pay for what we received. On top of that he left a part off the fireplace that I needed to reinstall myself. It was an easy fix, but still another thing. I went in person and we agreed to reduce the bill by half. I was thankful for that. They also explained that the reason they were rescheduling me without notice was because others heated their houses solely by fireplace and I was less of a priority...my house is also heated solely by fireplace. The reason for the confusion with the dispatching fee was: "I am the dispatcher and I don't get paid a dispatching fee." I ended up installing a thermostat like they recommended by myself. It did not work so I tried one last thing that I was nervous about trying myself out of fear of making things worse. I looked up the wiring diagram and that was when I saw that every-single-wire was in the wrong place. It took me ten minutes to fix and now the fireplace works perfectly fine. I have a hard time constituting a 1-star review but I don't see how I can post a review 2-stars or more. E.

Fantastic people and service. Highly recommend them for any plumbing or HVAC services.read more
