I've literally been harassed by this Real Estate Company. Apparently, like a year and a half ago, I…read morefilled out an online form asking to be sent a list of properties for sale in Austin. Since then, this company has called and emailed me many times. I thought not responding would send the message they need, but instead this morning I get a text message from them. Basically, I asked to be removed from their call list, and said that they should re-think their approach at reaching out to people. Texting? Seriously?! This person then responded, argumentatively, calling me hostile and asking what I do for a living. So, you get a bunch of your friends on Yelp to write you 5 star reviews. That's not helping your business. So someone "passed you a list of names" (which, let's be honest, you purchased) and mine just happens to be on there - you've called me and emailed me and my no response isn't sending you the message you need. So, you resort, desperately, to texting me (I've never heard of this marketing approach - ever) asking me personal information when I have NO IDEA who you are - and then when I express that frustration you call me hostile and argue with me. Nice business approach. No wonder you're so desperate for business you're resorting to harassing people over text.

Matt is consummate professional when it comes to helping find you a home that fits your budget and…read moredesired criteria. I worked with Matt for a few months trying to find a place to buy as a first time buyer. He was detailed, open, friendly, and ensured I was aware of all of the nuances of buying a home. He found a lot of options in the areas I was looking and I still remember the voicemail he left telling me "hey man, I found the house you're going to buy, let's get over and look at it asap." A little over a month later, I closed on my first home - an awesome condo with a downtown view located near a lot of fun restaurants, the lake and its trails, and a big community garden. It was exactly what I wanted and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for property in the Austin area. He genuinely works hard to find something you'll love and makes time for you anytime you need him. It was an enjoyable experience working with Matt.

Jason is a fantastic realtor! After being told with *very* little notice that our long term rental…read morehome was not going to be renewed due to the owner's intention to sell, I had to scramble to find a new place. I was in such a stressful spot... I found a rental home that I really liked and wanted to check out. Friends recommended that I reach out to Jason Heffron who had helped them navigate a couple of sales and purchases in the neighborhood. I didn't know if he would be amenable to futzing around with a small potatoes transaction but he showed up within 10 minutes with a smile on his face and a ton of ATX knowledge. Well, as these things happen, that rental was not the one and he helped me evaluate property after property until I came across a place that would be perfect for me...except it was for sale not for rent. The best laid plans of mice and men, am I right? The house had everything - a great lot, a great pool, a great aesthetic, a great layout and it had not yet hit the market. I wanted it bad. So, I decided to buy. As luck would have it, Jason's great reputation within the community and prior professional contacts and warranted reputation as a reliable straight shooter allowed me to get it under contract the *day* before it hit the market with no icky wrangling. There is no way this transaction would have happened off-market without his stellar rep for getting things done and getting things done right. I was soooo grateful. He has a great staff and team to make it all happen, too. He was a pleasure to work with, got me my ideal Austin digs, and it all started with him being rad and going the extra mile with me when some others might have found my call annoying or not worth their time.

Alright, alright, alright. Where do we start? My wife and I met Chris Matthews back in…read moreOctober/November of 2024. We connected through a Homes.com search--ran filters for realtors with the highest volume of buy & sell transactions over the last five years--and he was at the top of our list. We had a few referrals from our network, but Chris was incredibly responsive, and our first call was solid. Long story long, we moved to Austin around that time, and Chris was there from the very start. He's direct in the kindest sense of the word, and he 1000% loves what he does. He figured out what we liked and didn't like, but that honestly didn't matter much because we had no idea where we wanted to live. Throughout the holidays, we went into escrow--then had to pull our offer days before closing due to the inspection. Chris's response? "If you guys want to change directions, we can start looking for new properties tomorrow." This was after he spent two hours inspecting the place himself, pushing the builder to add new gutters, fix the lawn's grading, and leading the blue tape charge on 3,500 square feet. Later, he talked us through properties that looked great in person but wouldn't appraise on paper, and ultimately, he helped us land the perfect place. Frankly, the guy knows every aspect of a real estate transaction inside and out. I don't know if he's so well off that time doesn't matter, but he had to lose money on us. He over-invests, and odds are, you'll make a good friend in the process--like we did. There are a bunch of other stories that highlight Chris's dedication, the depth of his network, and how ridiculously motivated he is. He's an awesome negotiator, incredibly patient, and an even better person.

Rod found us our dream home!…read more Our good friend referred us to Rod in summer 2020. We had quite a few major *must have* items but wanted to spend a bit less than the market was asking. We viewed five homes with Rod, all of which we loved but they weren't "the one." Despite our tall orders for asks we wanted in our home, Rod was able to find us the perfect little home in Cedar Park that included everything we had hoped for! From the beginning, Rod provided a detailed overview of what the process would look like and things to expect along the way, as this was my first time buying a house. He was always easy to get in touch with, emailed us daily listings with our preferences, assisted with securing the mortgage, helped us with negotiating, and celebrated with us at the end of the process! We are beyond thrilled with the services and assistance he has provided and we couldn't be more grateful to him!

I think we only saw about 8 houses before we found the one! It had an offer in on it already and she walked us through the exciting and scary process of making another offer. We stayed within our budget and got more then we ever dreamed we'd have. She stayed involved and walked us through the whole loan process and getting all our paperwork in.
