UPDATED:This company is extremely unprofessional. They initially sent my 81-year-old mother an…read moreoffer to purchase her home. When they came out to review the property, they came back with an offer nearly $41,000 lower than what was originally presented. My mom was ready to sell so she could move in with our family, and Rebecca from Smooth called us repeatedly trying to get us to move forward with the sale. We provided documentation showing the home had a good foundation report, a new roof, a new AC unit, a tankless water heater, and a ductless AC unit installed in the converted garage. After that, they came back with a slightly higher offer than before, which my mom accepted. A closing date was set for March 12. When we followed up to confirm the closing time, they suddenly informed us they were backing out of the purchase. In hindsight, we should have realized something was wrong because communication had been minimal during the final week. My mom had two other offers before she agreed to move forward with Smooth, and now they've walked away from the deal. Lilian from Smooth was handling the details of the transaction. We called and texted her multiple times and received no response. Looking back, it's frustrating to think about how much effort we put into rushing to clear out my mom's house to meet their timeline. Rebecca provided no real explanation other than saying they had to back out. It's incredibly disappointing, especially considering my mother's age and the situation they put her in. She has likely lost the opportunity to work with the other two investors who were interested in purchasing her home. I would strongly recommend not wasting your time with this company. If it were possible to give less than one star, I would. UPDATED: Approximately 4:34PM today, I received a call from Rebecca advising that she found another buyer for my mom's house. She stated they would most likely keep the same closing appointment but they would be offering at 13K less than what she had offered. I found that to be unbelievably suspicious that they have another buyer but for less. It took them some time to get this current title set up. This appears that Smooth closing was trying to pull a fast one. I reached out to some experts in this matter and they advised me that it was probably best that the deal did not go through as they probably would have tried to swindle down my mother even more. To think that a company would take advantage of a senior citizen who is currently on battling kidney failure (all things they are aware of). Scamming the elderly. Shame on you Smooth Closing!

I worked with Chip Ferguson and Lilian and I can't be more greatful! It took me years to get my…read moresquater sister out of my house and I couldn't make any head way.

Not to mention my sister didn't keep the house up so there was so much more work than I thought there would be.

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Nikki O'Rourke. We were first-time homebuyers…read morewith very little knowledge about how to find the right place. We met with a couple of realtors before Nikki, but it was a bad experienced for us. Nikki is honest and hands-on (she even met us during her day off and to show us a house at 7pm.), and she really helped to take the pressure off our shoulders. Nikki made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should). The best part about working with Nikki was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. Nikki explained that her job is more about helping a family find their perfect home. She proved that time and again with her thorough knowledge of home construction and the local market. Every time we viewed a new property Nikki would perform a methodical inspection, looking for signs of problems and commenting on the quality of construction, finish, appliances, etc. Nikki also helped us to negotiate and get the price we were comfortable with. In the end we found the house that was perfect for us and are loving it so far. We highly recommend Nikki O'Rourke as realtor and JB Goodwin Realtors San Antonio to anyone looking for their perfect house. Thank You and God Bless, Nikki!! - Joan and Travis

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.

Schuyler and Jennie helped me sell my house in spring of 2024. Both of them along with the rest of…read moreWG's team did an absolutely spectacular job of helping me prep the house for the sale, finding me contractors to do the prep work necessary the maximize the value of my house on the market, and guiding me through every last part of the sales process from listing to close. They did such a great job helping me prep and price the house effectively that we went under contract only x2 days after the house went on the market. Their process is truly best-in-class. There were several curveballs that came up in the closing process that, frankly, without Schuyler and Jennie's guidance and attention to detail would have otherwise prevented the deal from closing. Words can hardly express how grateful I am for their team and I can't recommend Williamson Group highly enough to anyone buying or selling a home.

I first met Schuyler Williamson at an Oracle-sponsored property investment workshop. This workshop…read moreprovided an overview of the market in general, & highlighted specifics about the Austin, TX market where we lived. He also shared some guidance on how to think about investment properties & what to look for. The session was informative & sparked my interest in working with Schuyler & his team at Williamson Group. From first meeting Schuyler in '17, both he & his team were literally as professional, courteous, thoughtful, & helpful as one could possibly hope a realtor to be. For example, he has an excel workbook property calculator that he updates frequently to help a buyer determine if a certain property mathematically makes sense to purchase given your investment profile. He gave that away for free after that workshop. Upon engaging him to sell our Austin house, he first visited our home & did a walk-through of the property. This walk-through included suggestions from him on things to do to ensure we had a quick sale at a fair price (i.e. great pictures, strong house "launch" weekend, furniture, etc.). He then invited us to meet at his Austin office to go over our goals for the sale of our property (i.e. timeline, price, buyer type, etc.). Here's where their team went above & beyond: 1) They hired a photographer to take pictures of our home. Her pics came out beautiful & put our property in the best light possible - highlighting key features of the property like the large backyard, natural lighting inside the home, curb appeal, & got just the right angle to showcase each room in the best light. 2) He then walked our entire neighborhood & knocked on 100+ doors, letting our neighbors know we had a showing coming up the following weekend in case they had any friends/family moving to Austin who might want to live nearby. What he didn't tell us was that he broke his foot a few days before this door-knocking session, so he performed this task in a walking boot. 3) They also posted our house on dozens of listing sites, like Google Base, Trulia, Zillow, Facebook, & others. We had 20+ families come through to look at our house that Saturday. This created an environment that encourages people to submit higher offers quickly due to the perceived demand of the property. We got a few offers that first day, including a cash offer that was less than our listing price, & a full-price offer with financing. 4) Now came negotiations with the buyer(s). The cash offer fell through, but the full-price offer looked promising. That family came to walk the house a few days later & provided feedback to us relayed via Schuyler. Most of their requests were reasonable to accommodate (i.e. painting scuffs on the walls, fixing a sprinkler), but they also requested that we replace the driveway that had cracked & noticeably shifted. 5) Schuyler coached us on options throughout this negotiation. We ended up working w/the Lennar team in Bradshaw Crossing to replace 2 sections of the driveway at their expense. While out of warranty, Lennar did the right thing & replaced it which would have cost us likely $7k-$10k if done at our expense. 6) The sale closed, & the Williamson team gave us some celebratory parting gifts & hugs as we parted ways to move to FL. In summary, there are very few people whose character shines through in the way they do business every day. Schuyler & the team at Williamson Group are in that select group who treat others the way they want to be treated. While never pushy, they made sure to speak up when they had an idea they thought worth mentioning. I would trust this team to sell a TX house in a heartbeat. They'll make your buying & selling experience as smooth as you could hope for, & help you put your "best foot forward" when you list your property. Highest compliments to the team - Gracie Edwards, Taylor Wilson, Kristen Williamson, Stephanie Ramsay, Mary Simpson, Sharon Kennedy, Max Leaman, Cory Older, & of course Schuyler Williamson. You guys keep up the great work, & may God continue to bless all that you do!

She helped us figure out what was actually worth doing before listing and how to price it, and we were under contract by the end of the first weekend. Her whole team was great to work with, too. Haley on the buying side and Candy on the selling side were ON IT with emails, information, deadlines and every question we threw at them, no matter how asinine.
