We highly recommend Jeff Sehon as a fantastic real estate agent! Not only were my husband and I first time homebuyers, but we were also moving from out of state. Jeff took the time to explain every detail of the process to us so we did not feel overwhelmed. He listened to everything we had on our wishlist, and did a perfect job of delivering on that list. Because we were in a different state and things move so quickly in this market, we weren't able to see most houses in person - so Jeff's good taste and understanding of exactly want we wanted were critical. Some houses looked perfect in pictures but because Jeff checked every little detail, he was honest when he really felt a house was 'not the one'. We would find a listing, send it to him, and he would go scope it out ASAP, same day. Over our home search we sent him dozens of listings we were interested in and he followed up on every single one, with a great attitude. He made us feel like we were his only client, and I'm SURE we were not! He felt like a friend who was helping us find a home. When we found the right house, it was one that Jeff found for us and we purchased it sight unseen and we have zero regrets. He's lived in Austin for many years and also has some great recommendations for the area in general. First time homebuyers and/or out-of-town homebuyers: do yourself a favor and work with him. Thanks for being so awesome, Jeff! We love our new home! read more

I am an investor from California. I recently closed the sale of on of my properties in Round Rock with the help of Cynthia Mattiza. The transaction could not have been any smoother. We were able to close the transaction in 30 days with no surprises or complications. I wish all my transaction were this smooth! I know exactly who to call when I am ready to buy or sell my next property in Texas. Cynthia and her team at Realty Austin are absolutely amazing! read more

Elliott Sanchez is a savvy investor, knows the ATX market, will shoot it to you straight, and was a trusted advisor throughout the entire process. I have known Elliott for many years but this was my first time buying a property through him. I live out of state, so it added some complexity to the buying process. 2 years and many Video Chats and youtube video's later we closed on a beautiful modern property in ATX. Dream home status with rental potential -- exactly what we were looking for. With his guidance I feel confident in my investment and its future growth potential. I will absolutely work with him again in the future. read more

Had the pleasure of working with Danny Gallant last year, and I couldn't have been happier with the professional service I received. I was on a tight timeframe and he proved quite flexible, especially considering I switched directions on him pretty much every day, moving from one area and price range to another and another and another.. but in the end, he found me the perfect house - the one I didn't even know I was looking for, and not only that, he was so incredibly helpful during the option period, the inspection, all that stuff - it's hard enough when you're in town, but remotely it can be a real bear. I highly recommend Danny and Realty Austin to all. read more

This review is in regards to the Ditlows, Barbara and Matt Ditlow, who work under Austin Reality. I am quite delayed in writing this review, but it was important to me to be completely disassociated with them and the home builder before I wrote this. I know many others in my community who have had the same poor experience, and I do not want repercussions. I will not write out all experiences but will call out the major issues that I experienced: Unprofessionalism, lack of communication (many, many times I wouldn't get calls returned or emails answered), and I was sold certain things with my house that I later found out would not happen and were not planned- it is not only your job to know what you are selling but to tell the truth. The unprofessionalism goes beyond lack of communication and selling you a bigger better product. The week of my closing was a disaster. I was traveling a lot at the time my house was about to close for the 4th time and I asked to be given a two week heads up on my closing so I could schedule my flights accordingly- which I never got. I just happened to call to check in get my closing date, only to find out it was that week. I had to schedule my final walk through immediately, so I could do it on the weekend, before I left town. Barb showed up to my final walk through with no key to the house and no inspector- so guess what...no walk through! I then was told I was going to close on Monday- apparently no one remembered I traveled and no one gave me any notice, so I had to push it to a Friday, change my flights, and pray I didn't get delayed. At closing I got no apology, Matt barely acknowledged me; I was just glad to put the whole disasterous 9 month experience behind me. My recommendation- find another relator. read more

(Ashley Brinkman) As first time homebuyers, my husband and I were clueless to the process of buying a house and weren't sure where we should begin. We were also slightly terrified (insert Ashley). We contacted Ashley informally and she quickly set us up with an ease-into meeting to layout what the process looked like, what to expect, and what to begin doing on our end. There was no obligation up front-- she simply explained things so we had a sense of if we were a good fit. Ashley is incredibly smart, honest, organized, efficient, and one of the most dedicated and hardworking people I've ever met. She is a genuine, straight-shooter and no-nonsense kind of gal while also being a wonderful people-person, which is exactly what you want and need in this kind of situation. We knew without a doubt that she would go to bat for us, and she certainly did. In fact, she went way above and beyond! Ashley essentially held our hand all the way through, calmed all of our fears, and put us at ease through every hiccup, always reassuring us and happily being available for all of our big and small questions. Ashley knows the market incredibly well-- she's super informed and connected, and has an amazing network of people that she can recommend to help you save tons of time and stress in the process. We trusted her implicitly and it truly paid off. When we found our dream house, we were the first buyers to see it and we were able to view it before it was even listed on the market (because Ashley gets things done, ya'll). Ashley went straight into beast mode. She didn't waste a single minute. That same day we put in an offer and she advised us on what kind of offer to make and with what, if any, requests. With her guidance and networking skills, we beat out multiple other contenders even though we didn't have the best offer (which is still hard for me to believe). We 100% know we got our house because we had Ashley in our corner. And don't worry, once you've won the offer, Ashley is still by your side all the way through the end and beyond. She has an amazing ability to make you feel like you're her only client, even though she's a very busy bee. She went to our inspection, our closing, and checked in with us on moving day and after. She's a WINNER and you'd be a fool to not take this recommendation to heart and contact her right away! We cannot recommend her enough. THANK YOU so much, ASHLEY! You're incredible and we'll recommend you to everyone we know (and also strangers in the street if they're willing to listen, too)! read more

These are true live up to to their reputation! My agent, Denise Bodman, is a true rock star! Property sold in 18 days by pricing it right and understanding the market. Don't look anywhere else if you want professional service offered by great people! Thanks read more

My husband and I worked with Kevin Wilhelm for over a YEAR to find the perfect home. He was always available to show us houses that he proactively found or we requested and never, ever made us feel rushed. He made a huge effort to get to know us and really hone in on what we were looking for in a home. Even in the most competitive market Austin has seen in years, Kevin was able to find us a house we absolutely love and coach us through negotiations, inspection and closing. We could not be happier with our new house and Kevin was instrumental in each milestone. We were SO pleased with Kevin, we even decided to list our other home for rent with him. He had it leased in ~2weeks and kept us updated every step of the way. I would recommend Kevin without hesitation and can't stress enough how much of an asset he is to Realty Austin. If you're buying, selling or even leasing, use Kevin Wilhelm!!! We loved him!! read more

Barrett Raven is the BEST agent you can have. From the beginning, he took some time to meet us and get to know what we were looking for, also he educated us about the buying process and did an incredible job of walking us through the entire deal. He really cared that we get our dream home, and is very well connected in the industry. He gained our complete trust and I completely recommend Realty Austin and Barrett to anyone looking for their dream home in Austin. read more

My husband and I just bought our first home working with Jennifer Mehis-Henry. She was amazing to work with and I'd recommend her to anyone in the Austin area. Jennifer was very responsive throughout our search, great in negotiations, and really understood the kind of property we were after. She provided us with great advice throughout the process and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to have on our side. read more

I recently purchased a house. Kathy Anglin represented the seller and I was the buyer, so I have direct customer experience with her. Here's my original post on Yelp: Paperwork was slow and when there was a snag at one point, Kathy flew off the handle and yelled at people. It was quite the sight -- not constructive at all! She didn't do her job -- didn't do the things she promised, didn't deliver paperwork, everything was somebody else's fault, didn't take responsibility. Honestly, I'm not sure why Kathy is in real estate if she flips out over details like that. We closed the transaction in spite of her, so all's well that ends well. But I wouldn't work with her again. UPDATE: Someone at Austin Realty told yelp to remove this review because I didn't have direct customer experience of Kathy. That's not true -- I was the buyer and she represented the seller -- I don't know how more direct it can be. Since Kathy has convinced yelp that I don't know what I'm talking aobut, here are the specifics of how Kathy screwed up: 1. The seller gave Kathy a disclosure for a variance -- I didn't receive that paperwork til two days before closing (after my option period was expired), but the seller said he'd given it to Kathy months previously. Illegal. Realtors are required to provide all disclosures in a timely way. 2. When we presented our offer, it took a couple of days to get the standard disclosures -- typically that is available before even making an offer and always available immediately after an offer is made. Sloppy. (Don't know if this is illegal in Texas.) 3. After our offer was accepted, Kathy said that she'd order a septic inspection and have the owner come from out of town to sign paperwork. A week later, when we asked how that was going, she said that she hadn't done either of those things. She didn't consult with us or notify us, she just didn't do what she'd said she would. As a result, the septic inspection results came only after my option period had expired, making it impossible for us to untangle any issues. Sloppy and unprofessional, maybe illegal. 4. When the late septic inspection caused the revelation of an illegal encroachment, there was little time to deal with it, and I spent two full days on the phone organizing surveys and legal documents -- work that Kathy should have done. Disappointing and expensive -- sucky, since the $800 cost of fixing this wasn't in my budget but the owner very graciously agreed to pay half. 5. Kathy had acted as the agent for the previous sale of the house eleven years previous, and it was her job to know about the illegal encroachment (that was created during repairs during the previous sale). When I asked her to contribute to the $800 cost of fixing the illegal encroachment, she sent me a nastygram email full of capital letters and exclamation points. She also yelled at my agent and at the buyer (twice). Unprofessional and terribly disturbing at a stressful time of trying to buy a house. As a buyer, I need the seller's agent to be calm and professional and this was an epic fail on Kathy's part. During the yelling session with my agent, Kathy threatened to stop the sale to me because of my complaint. Since I wanted the house and we were three days before escrow close (because of Kathy's slowness), I had no choice but to pay up. Borderline illegal -- at that point, it's not clear if she could stop the sale, and if she did stop the sale, she'd be screwing over her customer who had been trying to sell the house for months in a very slow market. 6. Kathy confronted me at my house and said that the seller had "thrown her under the bus" -- blamed her for things beyond her control. Maybe she didn't know about the illegal encroachment, but it's her JOB to know these things and the error happened on her watch. I never once got an apology or any conciliatory moves -- she didn't take responsibility, just blamed other people and yelled about how she wasn't making any money on this sale. 7. When talking about my house, in an email, Kathy said: It appears it has been a gentleman's hand shack for years. I don't think I even want to know what that means. Is "hand shack" some Texas code? 8. The house was for sale for months with no offers, but then in a meeting at the house with buyer/seller/agents, she said that the real estate market was recovered and fine -- blatantly not true in rural Texas and everyone at the table raised their eyebrows. Pretty insulting to the seller who had been doing all he could to get the house sold more quickly. It was totally unprofessional and a slap in the face to the seller. I agree with the review from Benjamin -- if Austin Realty spent as much time on providing excellent service as they do on griping to yelp I wouldn't be complaining. read more

Beverly Williams was amazing! We just moved from California to Austin and we didn't know much about the area. Beverly knows the area very well and she helped us locate and negotiate a fantastic home! She was so professional, organized and friendly and made our entire family feel at ease in this process. Beverly is super honest and trustworthy and she made us feel very confident in buying our new home! read more

Have worked with Cynthia Mattiza with Realty Austin now twice - once buying and once selling a home - and both times she went above and beyond to make the process as quick and painless as possible! She is professional and very responsive... which is exactly what I needed in the stressful and fast-paced Austin real estate market. As a first time buyer and seller she made it all as simple and easy for me as possible. Would highly recommend her to other buyers or sellers! read more

Sumina Bhatti is simply the best. She came highly recommended from several friends and colleagues and we were not disappointed. Buying your first house can be overwhelming - we didn't know much going in - but Sumina made the process clear, digestible, pressure-free, and lots of fun! She was extremely professional while being personable, quick to respond to questions, and never seemed annoyed at our lack of knowledge. She's just an overall wonderful person who's incredible at her job. I'd highly recommend her (and have!) to anyone looking for a realtor in Austin. read more

My realtor, Gabi Spreitzhofer, was absolutely amazing!! She helped me to understand the whole process and was there with me every step of the way. She really cared and looked out for my best interests at all times. I can't say enough good things about her. Definitely recommended!! read more

My agent Tammy Elliot is awesome. She gets it done, is always responsive and is fun too! This is the second time I've had her as my agent and would never go with anyone else. You can't do better. She is on her game. read more

The Jane and Erin Team are the best! They both worked so hard and were so wonderful from the beginning of "We might get a house," all the way until the signing. They took a lot of time to understand our needs and didn't waste our time on houses we were not interested in. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you both! read more

I highly recommend Katy Hall at Realty Austin. I found out about her through a friend who had also used her as their agent and I could not be happier. She exhibited constant patience and grace while dealing with the frustrations of constant re-negotiation between the two parties. She is very knowledgeable and ensures that you are pleased with the results. She also has access to a great team and network. This is not my first home buying experience-she made it as painless and easy as it can be. read more

Our Realtor, Michelle Kopp with Realty Austin was amazing. My husband and I were new to the Austin area and knew nothing about the options available. We just knew approximately where we wanted to live or where would be most convenient to his new job.Once we began looking the choices seemed overwhelming. Michelle listened carefully to our requests, helped direct us to the areas that were the best choices based upon our criteria, and found the home of our dreams. She is a wonderful realtor who is very knowlegeable, patient and just a great person. She became one of my first friends in Austin due to our great experience with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great realtor in the Austin metroplex area. We bought our home in Driftwood and absolutely love it! Thanks Michelle for a truly great experience!! read more

Two years of living In a MONEY PIT thanks to our agents Michael and Stacey Spickes. Run away from them and this agency. When we first met them they were so sweet and personably. We thought we hit the jackpot coming from California and not knowing anything about Austin. They didn't do their job, they hired a horrible inspector that caught nothing! They told me my kids could go to a certain school even thought it was not in our district , that was a lie. There were outstanding permits on the home that we had to pay for the the city said we shouldn't have been able to buy the home with these still open. A month after we move in we have huge water leaks that cost us hundred of thousands of dollars , we had a major gas leak they could have killed us. The list goes on. Now we are stuck and probably will have to walk away all because of these agents we thought we could trust! Don't use them!!!! read more

Our agent was Angele Moyseos. We couldn't have picked a better one if we tried. One of the kindest, most patient, and knowledgeable persons. We worked with her for about a year - and she always stayed in touch, kept us up to date on the market, and made sure we were the first to know when something she knew we would like popped up. She really did help us find the best home for us. We were first time home buyers, so the process was of course brand new to us. She answered all of our questions, and helped us make the best and most informed decisions. She was genuinely excited for us when we finally did close on a home. read more

Wade Williams is one if the best. He helped us find a GREAT home, and at the same time helped us get our current house under contract...in 4 DAYS! Patient, always listening, and asking the right questions to really help us find what was important to us in our new home. Really educated us on the whole process and never pressured us in any direction on any decision that was required by us. His team was always transparent and responsive to any of our inquires or concerns. This entire experience has been so smooth and stress free. Our upcoming move is more stressful! I can't appreciate Wade enough for making this entire process so easy! read more

Wow wow wow! We cannot say enough great things about Lisa! We started looking for a new home back in December of 2020 and watched home prices sky rocket. To make matters worse, we were house shopping remotely due to childcare responsibilities and fear of traveling to Austin during the pandemic before vaccines were available. At that time, we were with a different relator that wasn't a good fit for us. We put in a few offers and lost out on every one. We were anxious, scared, and hopeless, so we decided to switch gears, which led us to Lisa. She took us under her wing and provided us firm guidance, confidence, and support. Lisa really took the time to understand our wishes. It felt good to be challenged when we brought up a house that she knew wasn't right for us, and it gave us a lot more confidence when we found the right house. When that day came, Lisa and her team sprung into action, and we ended up getting our dream home with the first offer Lisa's team helped us with! We loved Lisa and her whole team! We are so so so grateful for every one of them! read more

We have been very pleased to work with Thaddeus and Michelle Jones. They are a great team with a lot of experience in both Real Estate and Construction. Michelle is quick to respond to calls or emails and very professional. Realty Austin has great tools and training for their agents. We highly recommend the company, and particularly, the Jones Team. Joe and Marcia Kasson read more

We just closed on a house using Adam Walker from Realty Austin, he came highly recommended and exceeded every expectation. He was an excellent negotiator and made sure we were not going to overpay for a house. Everything was handled perfectly. If you are looking it Austin, especially Travis Heights, I would recommend him HIGHLY. read more

Kelvin Glover and his team were a joy to work with! Kelvin or a team member was always available to show us homes, and Kelvin was always willing to take the time to explain things and answer any questions we had. We've worked with several agents in the past, and Kelvin's depth of knowledge, professionalism and quick response times exceed expectations. His team was also very quick to answer questions or make changes. And they were so organized- it really kept buying and selling homes very smooth. read more

We recently worked with Carolyn Watts to find a home in Austin. We were moving back to the US from abroad, and engaged with Carolyn prior to moving. She was so thorough, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. Carolyn is extremely responsive and friendly. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a stellar realtor! read more

Lisa Munoz & her team are the most knowledgeable, honest, connected, organized and effective real estate team in Austin. It's difficult to sum up 8 years and 3 transactions in a yelp review - so for the sake of brevity I'll put it in a list. If you are a buyer: - Lisa doesn't "talk up" a house to make a sale. In fact, she shoots holes through every short coming she sees, trying to expose all of the things that could make you fall out of love with your dream house. She wants to be sure that YOU'RE sure. - Lisa knows the builders and rehabbers here in town and can tell you right away who is doing the best work, and who to be wary of, based on her years of experience. - Lisa has the best team of hand-holders in the business. They'll keep you informed, but won't inundate you with mundane details that only confuse matters. - Lisa is connected to the right contractors & lenders who will make your purchase a total breeze and downright enjoyable experience. - If you buy a house under Lisa's guidance, prepare to walk away from closing with a house that's better than you ever expected, at a price you can't believe you were able to get, and with a lender who's hooked you up with the most manageable mortgage payment you could imagine. Seriously. If you are a seller: - Lisa will quickly assess opportunities for earning more on your investment by offering suggestions for smart updates (and will put you in touch with the best contractors to do the job quickly and affordably) - Lisa will set you up with a fabulous staging consultant, who will help you determine how to make your home look it's very best. - Even if it's not perfect, her photographer will make it look that way. - Lisa's team will be there to support every silly question you have about the prep of your home, and help you establish a timeline for achieving it all. - When it's actually time to list, Lisa and her team are on the phone with other agents and working hard to get you your top dollar. We recently closed on a home I owned for 8 years. Thanks to Lisa's guidance, knowledge and negotiation skills, we were able to overcome a previously existing price "ceiling" in my neighborhood (and broke it by almost $50k). We had our first offer within 2 days of listing, and had our choice of 3 offers, all over asking price, within 3 days. That isn't luck or magic - that is the result of knowledge and hard work. In addition to her business acumen, Lisa and all of her team are kind, helpful and generous. I am incredibly grateful to have had them on our side of the table during each transaction and will most certainly be giving her a call if we have any real estate needs in the future. read more

My husband and I were first-time home buyers and we worked with Steph Douglass (and Kristina Modares). They came highly recommended from two other friends who also bought their first homes with them. Steph was so quick with getting updates to us (replied to emails immediately, if not - within a couple of hours), was great with communicating and advising. The house we ended up buying was on the market for only a few hours and we had a walk-thru scheduled (while Steph was out of town!). She scheduled it with another realtor within RA. There were a few other offers put in after us, but because we moved so quickly with our offer and came in strong, we were successful in this offer. Its been such a great experience working with Steph and her team -would highly recommend!!! read more

Scott was our realtor for the purchase of our first condo. He made everything very easy and was available for questions either by phone or text. Since this was our first time buying a home, we had a ton of questions. Scott and his team were very patient and willing to answer all of our questions in detail. Scott recommended his mortgage broker, Sarah, and she was wonderful to work with as well. Everything from the purchase, to the closing, went smoothly.. We are happily enjoying our new home! If I were to purchase or sell, I would definitely work with this team again. read more

Cerretha Rose was the agent I used to sell my parents' house in Kyle, Texas. She was pleasant, professional, and organized, and helpful in dealing with the extra technicalities that came with selling a house as court appointed guardian. I would work with her again. read more

We started working with Wendy Sutherland after we had already selected a home to make an offer on. While we thought things would go smoothly, a lot of problems cropped up that Wendy helped us get through: the pricing negotiation, including surprise multiple offers and a surprise (temporary) reneging on the seller's part; surprise difficulties with mortgage; surprise zoning challenges; and surprise problems with fire insurance. Through it all, Wendy provided great perspective and hustle along with many important introductions. We are now thrilled to live in a beautiful, unique property that we might not otherwise be in. read more

We have been with our realtor Erin for over 2 yrs. It sounds crazy that it has been that long, but the entire experience has been wonderful. Not only is she professional, attentive, and knowledgeable but she is also kind hearted and down to earth. She is Aunty Erin to our girls! We moved from New York City to Austin and met Erin during our planning phase. She was a great resource to have while trying to pick locations, schools, new build vs. purchasing and navigating the surrounding areas. Even when our move was delayed due to our daughter's surgeries she continued to stay in touch just to check up on her. Once we were able to get back on track she hit the ground running. We finally decided on a new build. Picking a lot unseen sounds crazy to most people but we had Erin! She scouted different lots and video taped them from all angles. In the end we went with her recommendation for the lot and it was the best thing we could have done. She was our representative at every meeting throughout the building process, which allowed us to attend virtually. She advocated for us when necessary and made sure we had answers in a timely manner. The most amazing part is all of this was happening during COVID! We will for ever be grateful for her help and guidance. Moving and building a new house with 2 small children, in the middle of COVID would be a recipe for disaster but Erin made it so easy. I would recommend her in a heart beat. read more

Selling a home is an emotional, stressful lengthy process filled with many unexpected land mines. Your realtor is your only defense. If the review below seems long, it's because Jennifer Mehis SAVED ME MULTIPLE TIMES. In 2011, I first considered selling my home. I contacted five realtors who had for sales signs up on houses in my hood and conducted Test 1: Who answered the phone? Who got back right away? Who was willing to meet me the next day to discuss selling my home? Jennifer Mehis passed Test 1. Test 2 measured what each realtor brought to our first meeting. Were they prepared? Did they come with stats about my neighborhood? How did they dress? Communicate? Did they have high energy? (I actually had one realtor tell me she was frequently out of commission with a bad back! -Really lady? Do you think I want to hire someone who can't do the job half the time? No commission to those out of commission! That's my motto). Were they positive? Did they have at least five years experience? How many clients did they represent at a time? Only two realtors passed Test 2. Jennifer Mehis rose to the top though because she believed my house could sell for the highest dollar amount - with some remodel attention. I decided to wait to sell my home until the market increased. Nine months later, at a fairly high price, a home lists on my street that is smaller then mine. I call Jennifer. She shows up the next day and we look at the house - it sold within a week at listed price. Now I'm ready to sell. I PICKED THE BEST REALTOR for what I was about to embark on...75 days of remodel fires which were CONSTANTLY put out by Jennifer. JENNIFER MEHIS ROCKS the REMODEL Day 1 I call Jennifer - I need her advice on door knobs, ceilings fans, lighting fixtures, kitchen & bathroom faucets & sinks, front porch light, new doors, new counter tops, new back splash. I need it ASAP as I will get a discount spending over $2,500 at the hardware store. Less than 16 hours later she sends me links to EVERYTHING. Every week Jen came over to check remodel progress . Anytime I called her she answered or got back to me ASAP. One nightmarish day I called her frustrated with who knows what & because the tone of my voice didn't really sound okay when I said I was okay she stated, "I'm coming over tonight." Jen shows up, serenity arrives. She is AMAZINGLY positive & supportive. Her mind tunes towards finding solutions, not dwelling in problems. With her great eye for detail Jen know what sells & the improvements to make with minimal cost to the seller. In regards to my house, she choose everything: fixtures to paint. JENNIFER MEHIS SOARS at the SALE Jen knows staging! She told me what to keep & what to put in storage. She showed up with a few of her own items for the walls. The flyers she placed in front of the house were gorgeous, as was Web listing. She followed up with every realtor who showed my home. Two weeks later we have a bid. Jen is a PRO! When I was ready to cave (I was sooooo over dealing with my home) & take a low bid she came back with, "Wait a second lets look at the facts." She sent me all the stats for sales in my area - as well as called each realtor of prior sales to learn about the negotiations behind homes that sold at reduced prices (were there plumbing issues? foundation issue? etc.). Same bidder as above, Round 3 of negotiations - the buyer's inspection reveals pipes have a few issues. Plumber is bidding a repair at $9,500 and buyer will only agree to purchase if plumbing is repaired using their plumber! WHAT?! JEN TO THE RESCUE! She calls her plumber and gets a lower bid. Jen calls buyer's plumber & negotiates same cost as her plumber & for the plumber to get paid at closing! Then, Jennifer COMPLETELY DEALS WITH ENTIRE PLUMBING FIASCO. She meets plumbers at my home. She checks on their work & keeps me posted! This definitely does not fall under her "job description", but JEN WORKS FOR THE SALE, especially when her client is at the end of a rope. JENNIFER MEHIS IS FAIR WHEN IT COMES TO THE CMB (CashMoneyBaby)! The buyer will now pay more for the house then we originally agreed because plumbing has been repaired. I am also covering $4k of the buyer's closing costs. Even though the house is selling for a higher amount, I am not seeing that money - it goes to buyer's costs & the plumber. Jen amends the contract to state that the commission to both her & the buyer's realtor will not be based on the sales price, but rather the actual price the house is selling for minus the extraneous negotiation costs. Yep! That is Jennifer Mehis! JENNIFER MEHIS #1 ON CLOSING DAY Jennifer kept me informed & prepared through every step of the selling process all the way to the closing day where she gave me champagne, a gift card, and a lovely thank you note. If you want top dollar when you sell your home CALL JENNIFER MEHIS she is a pro at remodeling, negotiations, and therapy. :) read more

We were astounded by the glowing reviews about Nora Wall. We found her to be quite the opposite. Before we moved to Texas we contacted her to help us find our house. We gave her the things that we were hoping to have in a house in Texas. She did email some homes to us but nothing of what we asked for. When we finally did come to Texas with money to buy a house, she brushed us off saying she was too busy. After that experience we contacted another realtor with another company who only showed us housing with our criteria. We found a house within 2 months and are very happy with our purchase. read more

Elle Klein was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. From our very first interaction she was friendly, patient and clear about the home buying process. She made challenging situations (ex. finding the right size for my needs, working with the best lender for my budget) easy to navigate by spelling out my options for me clearly and waiting for my decision. I felt like I was able to make informed decisions with her guidance and backing, yet, I never felt pushed or pressured into any one direction. Very highly recommended as a realtor.

If you're reading this, it's probably because you haven't decided on a realtor yet. It's a very important decision, especially in Austin, so I will highly recommend Allison Olson. This is my second review for Allison Olson, MY realtor. Allison helped me buy my first home in 2008, and in late 2014, she helped me sell the exact same property! There was no way I was using anyone else except Allison to help me sell my condo, I trust her too much. Me and my wife were paying two mortgages a month, one for our new home, and one for my condo, which was a huge strain on our finances, so I needed to sell the condo fast. Allison knew this full well, so when it was ready to sell, she had a buyer BEFORE IT WENT TO MARKET!!!!!! That's right, before it even went to MLS, she tapper her network and had me an offer, at full asking price, in a day or two. It doesn't get better than that. I hired Allison (again) because I knew that she would take care of everything with minimal effort on my part, which is exactly what I needed. Selling a house is complicated, there's bushels of forms to fill out, papers to file, and tons of steps most of us never even know about. All I want to know, is that business is being taken care of and my best interest is being looked after while I live my life, and that's exactly what I got with Allison: a care free experience. Everything was easy, really easy. Allison and her team have the best client communication of anyone I've worked with in a long time, which is incredibly important when you're selling a home. If I had a question about some paperwork, or just a random inquiry, she was always very responsive. I know wasn't her only client during this period, but somehow, she managed to make me feel like I was her only one. That's huge. One of the biggest things I appreciated was her honest assessment of my condo and what I needed to do to get it ready to sell. It needed a couple of minor touch ups and repairs, and she helped me prioritize what needed to get done and what wasn't really a big deal, and in the end, I got exactly the amount that I wanted for it. I couldn't be happier with Allison and how she helped me sell my condo. It was easy, profitable and easy. Did I mention easy? read more

Moving is hard and moving to another state his insane. On top of this being a first time home buyer not knowing much about buying a house. I was lucky enough to get connected with Realty Austin's Billy Pete. He was more of a friend then a agent, he walked me through the whole process and connected me to a great mortgage broker to make sure I was pre-approved before going to look for houses. Since I wasn't able to fly to see the houses he would go to all the open houses face timing me and showing the houses (talk about 21st century home buying). While going through the house tell me about the neighborhoods and whats around and giving me his opinion about the house to make sure it matches my family needs. After multiple failed offers and disappointments we were able to find the house that matches our needs and had winning offer. Throughout the whole process team billy kept me up to date with the status of my offer making sure all my paperwork is in order and ready to go. Love everyone on the team billy and Billy will be my guy for all my future home buying needs. If you need a genuine Agent in Austin area call Billy Pete, him and his team will take care of you. read more

We were buyers who worked with Wendy Crone, and it was a fantastic experience. She was very patient with us as we spent months seeing what was and came on the market. We were picky - we wanted a house within ten minutes of downtown (with some wiggle room. We had specific neighborhoods we liked), and we struggled with multiple offers ratcheting up prices and the risk associated with full appraisal waivers. We wound up finding a home that needed some love but had great bones, was in an awesome neighborhood, and was a great value. Wendy advocated on our behalf, and she was always honest. If we could do better or a house was overpriced, she'd tell us. If a house had structural problems or looked like it was more of an undertaking, she'd let us know. She let us make our own decisions, but was always positive and honest. She also knows quite a bit about houses (in addition to the market) and has "a guy" for almost any home improvement project. If we're ever in the market again, we'll be working with her. read more

We had an amazing experience with Barrett and his team! This was our first home buying experience and we felt supported, prioritized and in the loop the entire time. We ended up closing on our first offer and we done with the entire process within a month! We could rely on Barrett and his team to be responsive, honest and open with us every step of the way. What could have been a stressful experience was really enjoyable for us because of Barrett and Realty Austin! read more
