My wife and I found a property in New Braunfels, Texas that is being managed by Hendricks Real…read moreEstate. The agent showed us the property via a virtual tour, and verbally confirmed that a 12 month lease was available, and to put in an application. We submitted our application (2 adults, 68 dollar fee per application) on Monday, September 1st and got confirmation on Wednesday September 3rd, 2025 that our application was approved, per two conditions: 1) a certain move-in date, and 2) a 16-MONTH lease. Immediately texted back and confirmed that we would not be moving forward, as this was a textbook bait-and-switch. The agent said she would reach out to the Broker, Tim Hendricks (Broker/Owner) of Hendricks Real Estate, and see if a 12-month lease was offered and if not, to give us a full refund as we VERBALLY CONFIRMED with the agent that a 12 month lease was doable before submitting the application and paying those fees. Tim Hendricks came back and said there was no refund. Awful, awful experience, and would warn others to get everything in writing when dealing with this business. Please see attached for the actual listing of the property and text conversation with said agent. Note that there is no term limits, etc. on the listing.

My rental started with Austin Real Pros, who were fantastic -- communicative, kind, and always…read morequick to help. Unfortunately, a few months after our lease started, they sold their business to Hendricks Real Estate... From there, it became extremely difficult to get responses by email or phone, and even straightforward requests like renewing our lease dragged on for weeks. Despite multiple emails and voicemails, no one followed up about the renewal, which ultimately forced us to make the decision to move out rather than risk being left without clarity. Once the property was being re-listed, Hendricks required me to coordinate directly with outside realtors for showings -- and those agents repeatedly told me they couldn't get anyone from Hendricks to respond to their questions either. It was confusing, disorganized, and frankly, unprofessional. Move-out was more of the same -- vague communication, nitpicking over small details, and no real effort to make the process smooth or the charges transparent. If you're considering renting through Hendricks, be prepared for delays, poor communication, and to handle most of the coordination yourself. Pros: I did love the home we rented. Very cute and nicely updated, clearly a lot of love was put into it by the Homeowner.... just wish the property management company could reflect a similar level of care and professionalism.

Overall, an unprofessional and frustrating experience that I would not recommend.

During the process, Michelle offered helpful advice and guidance on neighborhoods, home conditions, inspectors and more.

Anytime we had questions, she was quick to respond and always had good, clear answers. What stood out most was how she never made us feel pressured.

She reached out within hours of the new listing that matched our slightly unique wishlist, and two days later, we were under contract and rolling. Thanks to Jenny, we found a great home and actually enjoyed the journey getting there. Highly recommend her if you're looking in the area!

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.
