CB got my plan approved less than 2 months after I had struggled for over a year and half. He is also a gentleman and goes out of his way to guide me step by step after I had permit on hand, checking on the project periodically to make sure all the construction / installation went smoothly. The grease trap just passed City of Austin final inspection! I can't wait for the day we start serving hot & healthy food to our little friends! Thank you, CB, for your wonderful work!

CB Ellis is the only permit expediter you should ever work with. Full stop…read more The City of Austin's Dept of Development Services is a mess of sub-departments run by people who all have different answers, interpretations of code, etc. Unless you're a large company and/or rich, the permit process can completely wipe you out, financially and emotionally. For our small business, what should have been a simple series of small hoops to jump through became a full-on nightmare, with us being sent on a wild goose chase of emailing, calling, video conferencing with people in permitting. We were given completely different answers at every turn, and none of the other permit expediting services we contacted responded to our pleas for help. Except for CB. He knows the ins and outs of permitting in Austin, he's personable and honest, he's not here to rip anyone off, and he makes you feel like he's on your team during a very stressful process where it seems like everyone else's job is to make your life hard. I'm just echoing what all the other reviews here say, but it's all true. CB Ellis is a magician.

Whitney in the office laid her hands on the historical project immediately, was very fast to remember the project, was very quick to understand what this project was, and sent James to the field. James showed up late in the afternoon and was so quick that I didn't recognize who he was. I actually started to chase him away. I am so glad that I didn't. He was very good at communicating what he was going to do and how he was going to approach it. We offered to move some equipment but James already had a plan in motion. James did a fantastic job and was detailed in every aspect. He worked hard and double checked his work. What an enjoyable young man to have contributing to the project! Overall, this company has a team approach and gets fast results for their customers at an affordable cost point. It has been a pleasure working with them and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You can bet that they will be my choice!

Now I have hired some good photographers over the years, but Mr. Matthew Chambers is the best Photographer I have had since I took W. H. Illingworth out to the Black Hills back in 1874. I have asked my Miss Libby to sit for a photograph by Mr. Matthew. I wanted something spicy I could take with me out on the plains. However, Miss Libby is just too shy to sit for a picture these days. She says she don't look as fetching as she used to now that she's a Ghost. If you hire anyone else besides Mr. Matthew, I assure you pard, ya'll gonna regret it. And take it from me, you don't wanna do anything you will regret. Happy Trails!

I have been using Mars Hill Realty to manage my rental house in Round Rock, Texas for the last 7…read moreyears. They have done a great job responding to the tenants need and keeping my rental house in top shape. I love the fact that they are proactive in recommending repairs to various parts of the house before it becomes very expensive to fix. In addition to the superb service they provided me, they have a top notched team who treats me like family. Everyone is very professional, respectful, and caring. One of the team member whom I've had the pleasure of working with over the years is Valerie Tillery. Valerie is very knowledgeable in real estate and property management. Whenever I have a question regarding my investment property, Valerie always responded quickly with clear answers to my questions. I've always felt that Valerie takes her time to make sure that any concerns or issues I have about my property is well addressed. Under her management, my rental property was never vacant for more than a week or two between tenants. That's just the time it takes for the crew to get the house ready for the next tenant. We usually have a new tenant signed a rental agreement before the old tenant moved out. My investment house have been cash flowing nicely since my purchase. I enjoyed working with Mars Hill Realty so much that I'm in the process of closing on another property in Georgetown, Texas for them to manage. Aside from Texas, I was also looking at Florida for my second investment home. While the housing prices in Florida is comparable to Texas, the cost of investing in Florida is cheaper than Texas because they have lower property tax. So why didn't I invest in Florida? Because Mars Hill Realty does not do business there. There's no property management that I trust more than Mars Hill Realty. In fact, it was Valerie who introduced me to the neighborhood that I'm buying my second investment home in. My experience as a property investor has been really stress-free with Mars Hill Realty managing my property. If you want a property management company that takes care of your property as if it's their own, you should consider working with Mars Hill Realty. I promise that you won't regret it.

Upon moving out the agent for RPM told me that I was responsible for the remainder of the lease until they rented the unit or until my lease was up. They continued to try and pressure me to continue to pay the monthly rent despite paying the early termination fee. One of the property managers just tried to outright bully me into paying, saying that the $5,500 was for their fee and I was still responsible for the remainder of the lease. She actually compared a lease agreement to a promissory note from the bank. They continued to try and extort money from me until I got me real estate agent and my attorney involved. I did receive a portion of my deposit in return within the 30-day window. It's unfortunate because we liked the property, but the unscrupulous business practices are too much!

After selling my home, I reached out to them again to help sell some property my Mother had in Lago Vista. They were amazing! Getting drone shots of the lot, and again selling it very quickly. I would highly recommend Thrive Realty to sell your home or property in Leander and the surrounding areas. They are attentive, know the market and will help you through every step of the way! They even came back out of the blue for Mother's day and left this sign in front of my Mothers house which really warned her heart, Bushi loved it too!

I am super busy at work, and he worked around the schedule to accommodate my needs. He is super responsive and very tech-savvy. He responds to any question within minutes and surprisingly late at night! His responses were very comprehensive and helpful, and he was very patient in answering my wife's and my concerns. When renting the properties out, he got me good tenants. He does a thorough background check, speaks to the tenants, and gets no-hassle tenants. He went above and beyond multiple times to get the property ready so that things were smooth for my tenants and me. He has been part of my investment journey and produced excellent outcomes. My wife and I think him to be part of our family! Thank you, Albert, for all the help over the years. If you are looking for a realtor in the Austin area, don't look any further. He is the best!
