Working with Scott was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We brought him on to list…read moreand sell an investment property, and he exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Scott's knowledge of the market, local area, and comparable properties was immediately evident. He came prepared, priced the property strategically, and his expertise clearly contributed to a fast, smooth sale with no hiccups along the way. What also set Scott apart was his communication. He was consistently responsive (even on Sundays) and proactive throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and ahead of every decision, exactly what you want when selling an investment property. We would recommend Scott without hesitation to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and results-driven realtor.

If you're reading this review and thinking about working with Scott to buy or sell your home (maybe…read moreboth), drop any notion of other brokers, read on, and then call or email him. Scott was referred to me by several friends, all of whom were very happy working with him on their sale and purchases, and I can see why. We started our conversation with Scott very early; he came to our house talked through the market, interest rates, factors impacting the market, did a quick walkthrough and made recommendations on fixes, adjustments, changes we could make, really arming us with the knowledge on what it would take to sell our house. If this wasn't enough, we actually contracted Scott to sell my mom's home down the road, which he was able to do in just under 15 days. We took his recommendations on fixes, his recommendations on suppliers/vendors, and on price. During a particularly tough time to sell, he made it happen, which really built a lot of confidence in my wife and I when it came time to selling our house. Once again, we followed his lead while looking at a bunch of homes to consider for ourselves. And once again, we were able to sell our place in about 15 to 20 days while still finding our new home. Our new home was a bit of challenge but Scott was up for it, walking us through the steps and things came down to the wire, but he pulled through, even while being out of the area on the final days. Working with Scott was an absolute pleasure - he is professional, asks questions to understand your priorities, communicates exceptionally well, is timely in his responses and is willing to say what needs to be said, even if its unpopular. He is always looking out for you as a buyer/seller and not the commisions he will potenitally earn. There's a reason he's one of the top brokers in the area. Read no more. Go call Scott. Now.

We just bought a house with Tom in Circle C and closed on it in March 2013. Tom is a great Realtor…read morebut he is also so much more than that. We were referred by a friend to work with Tom and we are very happy we decided to work with him. We moved into Austin, TX from out of state and as new comers to the area Tom was a perfect person to work with. While we were shopping for neighbourhoods and houses he also introduced us to the city of Austin and let us know about many events, restaurants, and places the locals prefer. Working with him is a great way to acclimate to Austin and you also get a house in process. It's a great deal. He is well connected and it is a valuable thing to be part of his network in Austin. Whenever we needed to find a professional to help with anything we would ask Tom and he would guide us to the best people around. He is very direct and honest in telling you why the house you are looking at is or is not a good house to buy. In fact, he talked us out of several houses that we wanted to buy and once we were done with house buying we ended up with a house that we are much happier with than some of the earlier houses we thought we wanted. So he is not in a hurry to sell you a house and get get paid. He wants to make sure you get the right house above all else. He also knows very well how the system works and what needs to be done to get your offer to be the top offer when you do find the house you want. He makes great effort to be the preferred buyers agent to work with for the seller's side and give you the best chances of getting your house. It was a great experience working with him even in the frustrating Austin housing market where inventory does not meet the demand for the number of buyers.

Dave is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate…read more I have worked with realtors who, when asked a question, will respond that they are unsure and will need to ask someone else and get back to me later. However, Dave is extremely intelligent and has a full understanding of market trends and market theory and he was able to immediately address every question I addressed (and trust me, I ask A LOT of questions). Through years of experience, he is able to provide solid advice about the best strategies for home staging, marketing your home, negotiation, etc. With ease, he is able to provide feedback on property values based on school systems, upgrades and home features, and neighborhoods/locations around the city (I now have a gorgeous home in Crestview). Dave is professional, thorough, and provides a level of service I have not seen by realtors I have previously worked with. He is easy to get in touch with (and will text back in an instant). I recommend David Dreyer without hesitation and I plan to use him again on my next real estate transaction.

We just used Alex to buy a home for my parent's to move closer to us. He is a hustler who always…read morehas his finger on the pulse of the Austin housing market. He knew exactly what we needed to do submit a winning bid in this crazy housing market. Despite his absolutely spotless advice, we made offers on homes that weren't as high as he recommended. We lost out on two houses with 30+ bids because we didn't heed his advice to the letter. On the third home, we did what he said and our offer was selected amongst many others that were equally competitive. Throughout this process, Alex was kind and accommodating. He wrote multiple offers. He amended them. He wrote offers requesting we be the backup offer. He scheduled same-day visits when homes came on the market. He responded to late night texts and early morning emails. After our bid was accepted, he continued to work on our behalf consulting and coordinating with our lender, insurance provider, and title company. When they had a question for us, he provided it on our behalf in minutes if he had the answer. He sent us reminders well in advance of every critical step in the process to ensure we didn't forget a deadline or signature. After closing, he continued to represent us and follow up on any questions or issues we had. If you're serious about getting into a house and have the means to make competitive offers, Alex will work around the clock to make sure nothing short of another buyer's offer stands in the way of you getting the house you want.

I was referred to Alex upon moving to Austin and have purchased a couple of properties through him…read more I've worked with probably seven other agents (in other markets) and Alex has become the gold standard by which I compare others. I'm always impressed by how quick his responses are, he often provides helpful info I would ask for before I have to ask for it, and most importantly, I always get the sense that the professional guidance he gives is truly in my best interest (not his own). Nothing but positive things to say about Alex, would recommend him to anyone looking for a home or small multifamily property.

My wife and completed our home buying odyssey in 2011... a long saga with tales of good and evil…read moreleading to a moment like no other... a brave new world, our home. In the not so distant past, evil Realtor overlords dominated the housing horizon. Time and again, we tried to shed these dream oppressors, but alas they seemed to be at every home purchase. Then came Sean... a seemingly unassuming, small town boy with big city dreams. While wandering away from his quaint village of "New York", he stumbled upon a strange, new, and decidedly weird world known as Austin. He sought a different path, one that only became clearer over time. By channeling his spirit in this sparse, south by southwestern community he found his calling... place people in their homes. Nurtured by the Austin oasis, this lone rebel fought the evil Empire for us. Our young warrior was not afraid to turn in a low bid or stand up to the dogmatic forces of proper real estate etiquette. "All they can say is no," said the boy as he became a master. From the vast hilly desert of SW Austin, through the hills and up to the highlands, Sean fought the good fight to put us in a home. Along the way, he dealt adamantly with real estate riffraff and fought for the little guy, establishing himself as a Realtor of the people. Now, as we move on to the next chapter in our lives, we'll forever be grateful to the agent who said "Those electrical boxes will catch on fire!" and "I wouldn't want a rat to fall on your face" and "Got you a free water heater." Truly a man of distinction. Thank you Sean Austin, and godspeed.

He immediately started on our…read moresearch for a home and gave us leads on those that were about to go on the market so we would have an advantage. He always picks up the phone and never made us feel bad for asking questions. He also fought for us when a buyer tried to low-ball us on the sale of our house and he also got us money back from the sellers of our current home after the home inspection. He's found two homes for us in incredibly hot neighborhoods. We would definitely use him again.
