We have used Suzanne and Barton Hills Mortgage 4 times. I think the best part of our experience was…read moreSuzanne treating us like family. My wife and I were home buying novices (and eventual refinance rookies as well). Each time, she was such an incredible resource to us. Each time Suzanne has been fast, thorough, and thoughtful. There may be a lot of options for possible mortgage brokers, but if you want to really be taken care of - go with Suzanne and her team at Barton Hills Mortgage.

New to Austin and did not know where to start with looking for a good mortgage broker. My wife and…read moreI met her husband Scott who we used as our Realtor. Scott's recommendation for Suzanne was 'she's the hardest working broker out there', and indeed she was. Aside from that I saw her reviews on Yelp and we talked for at least an hour and clearly she is prepared to explain what a good broker should do for their client. Suzanne really knows this business and has weathered the storms of real estate. Emails and phone calls were always quickly returned. We we able to close our loan in 20 business days - amazing. Might have been faster if I had gotten forms back to her quicker. It was also great to work with a husband/wife team. Scott is an incredible Realtor and we had complete faith that he would find us the right house and handle the negotiations professionally.

**Update - 12/2025** Reinae helped us sell the original home…read morewe bought in South Austin and went all the way to help us get top dollar for it. Her advice in how to present and stage it was so on point and her patience and updates along the way (since we were obviously anxious) really gave us peace. She also helped us purchase the new home we are now living in and we couldn't have found a better "diamond in the rough" that we can put our touch on. Reinae has given us more great advice there since it's a 100 yr old home. We trust her implicitly and I don't take that lightly with investments of this size. If she's available and able to help you, don't miss out on working with her.

Reinae is the best Realtor I have ever worked with! I usually find real estate transactions really…read morestressful, but the recent sale of my house went incredibly smoothly. My house was in TX, but I live in CA. I thought it would be a challenge to deal with the house remotely, but she took care of all the arrangements, including the final walkthrough with my tenants, repairs and renovations. I watched the market for several months prior to listing my house. Interest rates were high, demand was low, and houses in my neighborhood were sitting on the market for weeks and months. But Reinae is an expert in her field, and knew what to do to get the house ready for sale. With her guidance, I decided to make some repairs and update the floors and paint. My house was listed on a Thursday and I accepted an offer (for the listing price) 3 days later. We closed less than a month later. Something I really appreciated is her ability to give me advice without being pushy. She armed me with information and made sure I knew all my options, but she respected my opinion and supported any decisions I made. On the other end of the spectrum, when I needed guidance and someone to help me make decisions, she stepped up and helped me come to a decision with confidence. Lastly, she is a good person. She is a professional woman with a successful business, but there's a lot of heart behind her work.

Relocating from the East Coast to Texas with a family is not simple, and Julie made the whole…read moreprocess feel manageable. We came in not knowing the areas, the differences between neighborhoods, or even what type of home made the most sense for us long term. Julie helped us break it all down in a way that was easy to understand. She was very knowledgeable about different neighborhoods, school districts, and what each area actually offers. That helped us narrow things down quickly without feeling like we were guessing. One of the biggest things she helped us with was understanding the pros and cons of new construction versus existing homes. She walked us through taxes, long term costs, and what to expect in each scenario, which gave us a lot more confidence in our decisions. She also did a great job balancing both my preferences and my wife's. That's not easy, but she stayed patient and helped us find common ground without ever pushing us. We also spent part of the process renting, and she supported us through that phase too, which we really appreciated. Overall, she's thoughtful, informed, and genuinely cares about helping you find the right fit. Highly recommend.

5 Stars for Bailey Moran!…read more We've worked with Bailey Moran on multiple occasions facing unique challenges. Bailey is extremely dedicated, hardworking, communicative, and compassionate. These qualities make it a pleasure to work with her. What we admire the most about Bailey is her commitment towards the needs of her clients.

If you want an excellent experience of working with someone who is willing to go the extra mile for you, no matter what the situation, hire Bailey as your realtor immediately. Not only will you not regret it, you'll remember working with her forever!

I had shopped multiple lenders looking for the best rate and someone that would advise me on the…read morebest path. It wasn't even a competition between the lenders, Leahy lending was by far the best. I worked with James on a refinance and he advised me as if it was his own home. The other lenders were obviously just trying to rush through the process and just get it closed, but James at Leahy Lending took the time to actually tell me the pros and cons of different paths and advise me on the best way to meet the goals that I wanted out of the refinance. I would highly recommend Leahy Lending to help with a new home or refinance. They can make a very confusing and process approachable and easy to understand.

I had such a smooth experience working with Paul and Marquette to sell my rental home. They told me…read moreat the outset what to expect, what challenges we'd need to address, and how long the process would take--predictions that all proved to be spot on. Marquette had a great instinct for who would be interested in buying the home then helped me attract them. She gave solid advice on what repairs were and weren't needed and how to stage everything, and then wrote marketing materials that showcased the home beautifully. Once the house was ready to list, we sold quickly to pretty much exactly the type of family Marquette predicted, and for the price I expected. Paul and Marquette communicated promptly and clearly throughout and got me through the process with minimal stress and no surprises. I'd recommend Homesville to any buyers or sellers.

Incredibly Honest and Trustworthy Realtor…read more I can't say enough good things about my experience with Paul Reddam. Most agents are eager to close a deal, but he took the time to truly understand my situation and gave me advice that wasn't in their own immediate interest--they actually told me not to sell. After evaluating the market and my financials, Paul explained that selling right now would likely lead to a loss and wasn't the smartest move for me. That level of honesty and integrity is rare, and it's something I deeply respect and appreciate. It was clear that he genuinely had my best interests at heart rather than just trying to make a sale. If you're looking for someone who will be upfront, ethical, and truly on your side, I highly recommend Paul. I'll absolutely be working with him again when the time is right! --Danny N.

Mark truly did an amazing job on selling our duplex! Our property was a unique one, and he was…read morequickly able to assess the best way to market it. As a former salesperson myself, I marveled at how well he managed us, the buyers, and the whole process. He truly took it all on, and we were able to be way less stressed and less burdened than any other real estate deal. In fact, after working with about 6 realtors in other transactions, I would definitively say he was the absolute best! Truly a gem. I will recommend him to friends and family for a long time!

Mark and the team at Strub are total rock stars! We moved to Austin from out of state in 2019. We…read moredidn't really know the area very well, but Mark immediately got a feel for the kind of place that would work with our lifestyle and found a hidden gem of a house in a great neighborhood. After living there for 4 years and making a bunch of improvements we decided to move out of state to be closer to family. This was summer of 2023 and the Austin market had already started tanking after the huge 2020-21 price surges. We weren't sure the place would sell because everything in the city was sitting for months. Mark's team put together an incredible listing and did tons of marketing and open houses and got us offer at close to full price after only 2 weeks on market! There were a lot of hurdles to jump through with the inspection and closing process, but the team stayed on top of everything and kept the deal together until we closed. The Strub team is the best in the business and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Austin.

Thank you!!

I am the first renter of a new complex. I moved in & my unit had not been cleaned. It's a brand new…read morebuild so there was a lot of dirt on the floors, debris on carpet, sawdust in my drawers. Cleaners came 3 weeks after move in & vacuumed, mopped the floors, cleaned toilets and changed trash. They were there for less than an hour. After move in, they changed my house number. No notice was given, no lease amendment was signed prior to change. I found out when I got back from visiting family. I then was told "It's not a big deal just call the companies to get everything fixed on your bills". it took an entire morning (4+ hours) to get things fixed, with no compensation. I still do not have my mail key and I have been here 3+ weeks. Every time I ask, they tell me to go to USPS & it's not their responsibility. I went to USPS and they did not have the keys which I told were dropped off. Still no mail. Overall, not a great first impression. I am military & move around a lot. I would not recommend this property management to future movers. I love the builder, Maurice. He is very kind & attentive, he's actually assisted more with the utility switches than anyone. The place is great, minus all of the things listed above. Moving across the country starting over again at a new duty station, this has been less than ideal. Very much added stress that could have been avoided. I believe they moved me in way too early. ******** Within an hour of posting this, they did reach out to me and were incredibly professional & attentive to my feedback. I was assured it was taken seriously, so I do believe these issues will be completely resolved for the next tenant.
