Caroline Mowry was great and we highly recommend her!! As first time home buyers she was really patient with us and understood our needs and wants right away. Caroline has a lot of experience in the real state business and was able to point out things we would miss and easily explain contracts, addendums, etc. She gave her honest opinion when asked but never pushed us to make a decision. We were really lucky to have her as our agent!! read more

Jen and her team are data crunching real estate hunters. They are not just trying to sell you a house. They look for value and sell you an investment opportunity. And you don't just get one person, you get a team all of whom do an excellent job. Jen seems to really enjoy the process too as if she is buying for herself. She will be hearing from me down the road when I look for my next house. If you're lucky enough to work with them you're going to put yourself in the best position to play the real estate market wisely. Good hunting! read more

Working with Jennifer Garza on the sale of my home was an excellent experience. She definitely took all measures to ensure my place was marketed and staged professionally ensuring that we got the best value out of the sale. Mrs. Garza was very professional and communicative throughout the process from beginning to end. I have worked with her in the past, hope to work with her in the future and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone needing the services of a competent and accomplished realtor. read more

OK, this is the third time I have used the Hill team from Realty Austin (1 sell, 2 buys). Not only do they know the Austin market, they go out of the way to make sure your transaction goes smoothly regardless if you are selling or buying! Thanks for your support, professionalism and for making our life easier. read more

About The Hill Team with Realty Austin- Jeff and Lisa Hill are quite simply the best realtors I've ever worked with in my entire life. Over the past 12 years, we have completed 8 transactions with different agents around the US. All of the agents we have worked with have come highly recommended and are the top agents in their respective markets. Jeff and Lisa have exceeded every single one of them. They've become trusted confidants and I would trust their opinion over anyone's with regard to real estate. From our very first meeting, they have gone more than above and beyond. I first learned of them while sitting at SFO airport about to board my flight, our agent in Silicon Valley called around interviewing perspective agents (to help me find our family home in Austin) and by the time my flight landed, I had an entire day of showings planned and confirmed thanks to them. I met Jeff the following morning and he spent the entire day showing me around Austin, driving me to the various neighborhoods, discussing my preferences, budget and showing me homes. That evening, I had to return home abruptly and had to miss my morning with Lisa. I brought my family back a few weeks later and had a day touring homes with both of them. They were so wonderful, thoughtful and accommodating, especially when I had to pickup my son from shadowing at a school, Lisa was the best. She helped him feel comfortable and walked the properties with me while my husband got to know Jeff. We left Austin knowing exactly which house we wanted and assured that if we even had a shot at getting our dream house, it would only happen if Jeff and Lisa were backing us. In the end, they more than delivered. They negotiated for hours over days, they made us feel like we were absolutely their top priority and were in constant communication. They knew to the penny how much we could spend and respected our goals and budget entirely. When the seller originally said, we should look at something else, Jeff tirelessly worked to convince him that we were his buyers but our budget just wasn't as high as the asking price. We won, all thanks to Jeff and Lisa helping convince the sellers that we were absolutely serious and ready to buy our dream house within days. Throughout the transaction they both caught things in the contracts that we didn't even know to look for, they guided us and always had our best interest at heart. They protected us and our interests when things didn't seem right. Jeff dropped everything and rushed across Austin at rush hour to make sure everything was taken care of at the Title Company when I had a concern about things not arriving in time. My only regret is that we don't ever intend to move again because I'd love to work with them absolutely every time. I will refer anyone and everyone I meet looking for an agent to use them exclusively. If we ever buy a lake house nearby, they will be my very first call. This team is so much more than a few great agents, they are wonderful people. They are caring and kind, smart and clever and willing to do anything they can to help their clients achieve their goals. read more

20 out of 10 - Lily Clason is an EXCEPTIONAL realtor anyone would be lucky to work with. She made haste to accomplish a huge feat under extremely stressful conditions during the holidays. I came to Austin, spent 2 weeks on the ground and got into contract on 2 properties just before Christmas. I've been in touch with Lily through a friend's referral for several years before I was ready to buy in Austin. I trusted Lily would be good but having been through the experience with her, on the heels of selling a home and going through several realtors that came through referrals who were disasters, Lily really blew me away. I lost out on several offers before getting into the 2 I did. Lily was undeterred and kept the expectations very real. Pulling that off was nothing short of miraculous AND due to the relentless advocacy by Lily on my behalf. She doesn't miss a THING, has real empathy, scours the market for comps and puts packets together for the buyer to make sense of everything quickly. It's the kind of market in Austin where you literally have to be prepared to write offers from your car! And Lily can and does! I was thinly capitalized and had very little leeway in terms of making offers w/o contingenies (the only way to win a deal in Austin including the burbs). I had a 1031 exchange (sold a rental, needed to buy a rental to avoid capital gains) to pull off in a tight deadline (Needed to be in contract 45 days from close of the property I sold) smack dab in the middle of the holidays. The IRS doesn't give a rats arsse about the holidays. I came from another state, so was unfamiliar with the Austin area market. I learned fast through Lily's education which was priceless. As soon as I was in contract, I boarded a plane so I could get on with the rest of my life including an international move. Lily continues to handle all the details from closing to getting my properties rented quickly. Lily kept my interests as an investor top of mind. My initial strategy was to buy two single family homes with the $ I had to reinvest so as to spread my risk across two properties. When that proved challenging in this highly speculative hot market (winning offers are often above what a property will appraise for), I started to re-think my strategy, but Lily kept me on track. It would have been so much easier to buy a single higher priced home vs. 2 entry level homes. Same commission, double the work (at least) for Lily. She was my advocate all the way. When one home's appraisal came in at significantly less than my offer, Lily fought HARD for me and WON a record appraisal adjustment (not an easy thing, it went even better than we hoped best case scenario). Lily also negotiated a price lower from a corporate Seller who rarely does that. It took 3 days to work it's way out but they were the longest 3 days of my life given I was at the 11th hour of my 1031 deadline. If I hadn't been able to pull off both purchases, the stakes were VERY high for me. My capital gains would have eaten up what little capital I had to work with. It wasn't about getting my dream home, it was about pulling off the near impossible to avoid financial devastation. I was working full time at a very demanding job so had very little time to give this effort. I simply couldn't have done it without Lily. Lily has built an amazing network of professionals in the Austin market and can totally help you get your place ready for occupancy or rental occupancy. She has contacts in the the handyman, contractor, plumbing and electrical trades that can be spun up quickly at fair prices. Gone are the days when a realtor can leave their buyer to go to open houses. Lily had to let me in with the lockbox key into approximately 30 homes over about 10 days. She has an eagle eye for defects and cover ups. She plans efficient routes and works with busy schedules and makes you feel like you're her only client. I'm rarely wowed by someone but Lily is truly remarkable. Her team is great, her referred lender is amazing too. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Melanie McNearney was an absolute delight to work with. She made everything painless and easy to understand every step of the way. Not only was she capable, she managed to make ME feel capable. That was so important when making a big decision like buying a house. I knew my husband and I were in good hands! The entire process from beginning to end was so much fun thanks to Melanie. We are in our dream house because of her hard work and awesome-ness! If you're looking for a realtor I honestly can't recommend her enough! read more

Realty Austin - Compass - Thanks, Melanie! - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is the second time my husband and I have worked with Rachel Lasseter, and we couldn't be happier with the job she did both then and now. Her hard work really shows in every aspect of the transaction. She helped us through what our listing price should be, when we should list, and what to do every step of the way. All of her hard work helped us to sell our home in (what we feel) is a record time (4 days) and for an amazing (over-asking) price! I would definitely recommend this lady to help with selling or buying your next home. She won't let you down. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about our purchasing experience with Darrell Brew. In this insane market, Darrell guided us through and kept us motivated to keep looking. We ended up landing our dream house due to Darrell's dedication. I highly recommend him to anyone in the Austin area. Truly the best realtor I've had. Thank you Darrell! read more

I worked with Chad Proctor and he was incredible! He took the time to understand what I was looking for, he worked with my schedule and he made me feel truly comfortable with every decision. Chad had great communication for every step of the process and the Realty Austin portal was much nicer to use than Zillow. I highly recommend working with Chad if you're looking for a seamless home buying process read more

Katy Hall helped my husband and I find our dream home! It took 4 long years with many visits from across the country but Katy was patient, attentive and went way above what I've ever seen a realtor do. When we finally found our "new build" it was Katy, being our eyes and ears when we were unable. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to be heard and especially couples with varying interests. She is by far the most knowledgeable expert of all neighbors in Austin, new and old, being a long time local, and was honest instead of just pushing for a sale. I trust her for all real estate needs for friends and family and anyone I meet in the future. read more

I bought my first property with the help of Deanna Garza. I couldn't ask for a better agent to guide me through the process! Deanna is extremely knowledgeable about the buying process and the Austin area. Beyond providing me with a GREAT buying process guide from RA, she took the time to crunch the numbers, dig into the data and present it all to me with context so I felt informed and confident in my decisions. Deanna was highly attentive-- checking in with me and making herself easily accessible and available to answer any and all questions I had. She was also always able and willing to provide me with helpful resources and recommendations. I am grateful to have had Deanna help me find and buy the perfect property for me-- it was as a great, smooth and painless experience. Deanna is such a gem-- she really cares about her clients and gives us the personalized attention the property buying process requires. I'm looking forward to working with her again in the future! 10/10 would recommend working with her!! read more

I love love love love Alex Hernandez-Bobrow. Where on earth did she come from? Realty Austin is lucky to have her as one of their realtors and you'll be lucky to have her as your realtor. I don't even know where to start with Alex. How did she get so good at what she does? How did she learn the market so well? How does find the time to answer your billion questions and always sure genuine interest and kindness throughout the whole process of home-buying? Alex is also just honestly fun and cool. It's hard to find Peele who are really really really good at their jobs like the housing market and are also people you'd want to go chat with at a coffee shop. You'll get a saavy, highly intelligent, and kickass person if you are able to get help from Alex for all your home buying or even gone selling needs. Do yourself a favor... Stop reading all these other reviews. I promise you a 100% Alex is the person to go for. She is absolutely fantastic read more

We are so glad to had the chance to work with Cathy Trifiro, she took the time to guide us through the whole process and answer every single dumb question we had as first home buyers. She is very responsive, knowledgeable and did an outstanding job representing our financial interests, which end up on big savings for us thanks to her negotiation abilities and great advice. I highly recommend working with her! read more

We were introduced to Joe and Cara Keenan by two sets of friends who'd worked with them on multiple home purchases and sales, so they came with strong recommendations.  We were impressed by their knowledge and professionalism when we first spoke, and also by their engaging and friendly personalities.  Knowing our friends - who have very high standards! - were pleased with their work gave us a lot of confidence in working with them. With Austin being such a hot market, it's a challenging time to be a buyer, but we were really happy to have Joe shepherding us through the process.  We looked at a lot of places because we started off not really knowing what we wanted, and Joe was incredibly patient, well-informed, positive, and thoughtful.  He's optimistic while also being realistic, and truly wants to help you to find the right home.  Beyond his professional knowledge, he's just a great guy to be around, and that made shopping more enjoyable. When we got under contract, Joe recommended really high quality professionals to help check things we wanted looked at in the home - home inspectors, pool inspector, electrician, roofers, stucco experts, etc.  Each person he recommended was knowledgeable and had strong credentials.  I will continue to use Joe as a resource for home-related professionals in the area because he really knows who's good.  He coordinated getting a lot done in our option period to help us feel comfortable moving forward with the purchase.  His team is super responsive, and kept the process moving to meet quick closing timelines. read more

I'll begin this review with an unconditional statement of "Kim Fry of Realty Austin is the best!" I legitimately mean that. My wife and I were first time homebuyers who had very little knowledge of what purchasing a home entailed. Add to that the fact that Austin is a competitive market and we were needing to purchase a home during one of the busier times of the year, and we really felt out of our depth. Kim made everything a lot more clear, a lot less stressful, and I'd even say pretty enjoyable. Upon our first meeting at her office, she patiently explained the entire process from start to finish. There were a few months after that wherein we were looking, but not too seriously. However, Kim still made time for us and gave us great advice left and right. When we started searching in earnest, she made herself very available to us. When she knew a place wasn't right for our family, she would be honest about it instead of simply trying to make a sale. She was understanding of our reticence with some properties, and we never felt like she was pushing us to make a sale. And when we finally did purchase the home we're living in, she was supportive and facilitated everything in a clear, professional, and very kind manner. Overall, Kim made purchasing our first home much easier than we initially thought it would be and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. If I knew anyone looking to purchase a home (at any price point), I'd refer them to Kim in a heartbeat. When we sell this home and look for another, hers is the first number my wife and I will call. read more

We had a great experience purchasing our home with Chad Proctor! My husband and I were skeptical about using a Realtor for our Austin home purchase as our last home purchase in Houston and was a for sale by owner. Our neighbors referred us to Chad and we are so thankful they did! After meeting with Chad once, I was confident he understood what we wanted in a home. In our very first round of looking at houses, we found the perfect home for us. Chad advised us on what the home was worth and recommended we stick to that number despite an aggressive counter offer. He was patient with us through the process and acted as a true advocate on our behalf. After our offer was accepted, Chad negotiated our long list of repairs from the inspection and even negotiated concessions for us! In the end, we got our dream home at a dream price. Thank you Chad! read more

Summer was SUCH a pleasure to work with, and I absolutely recommend working with her.We are first time home buyers, and could not have done it without her. She helped us to find a rental property in Dec 2017, and we so enjoyed our experience that we jumped at the opportunity to use her as our realtor in buying our first home. She made the whole process so easy! She helped us find our home, find a lender that we LOVED, secure an inspector, work with the builder, and even get our utilities and home services set up! Summer Firth truly puts the client first, and makes you feel like family! read more

I highly recommend Tyson Wynia. He recently helped me with my purchase of a new home. He is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He made my experience of buying a home comfortable and i'm sure a lot easier. If you're looking for a real estate agent who truly cares about his clients, look no further. If I'm ever in need for a real estate agent, Tyson will be my first pick. read more

Robie was such a pleasure to work with! My partner and I didn't really think we needed an agent at first. So glad we connected with Robie to help us through the home buying process. Robie was there for us every step of the way, we closed on our home back in August. From the start she understood what we were looking for. One of the things that stood out the most to me is that she always had our best interest in mind. When we got close to closing it was great to have someone as knowledgeable as her to guide us through the process. Can't thank her enough!! read more

We worked with Angie Balentine to find and purchase our home in Austin. I highly recommend her services. She provides the perfect combination of emotional intelligence, business acumen and market knowledge - all characteristics needed for such an expensive and personal purchase. Angie is a great human to work with, a strong negotiator, and provided sound guidance on placing competitive offers. She helped us navigate the very competitive Austin market to land in the perfect spot for our family. 10 out of 10! read more

I used Jenny Rosas from Realty Austin to sell our home in SR - Austin. Jenny came highly recommended, now I know why. While she is very professional, she also has a caring heart. I felt like she really cared about our home, almost as much as we did. Jenny gave us the benefit of her many years of experience as we staged our home to prepare it for sale. Next she prepared a beautiful photo brochure that was awesome. Our house looked like a real "showcase" home. Once our home hit the market Jenny made sure it was ready for the open house tours. We got great feedback from everyone that toured our home. Not surprisingly our house sold in 2 weeks for more then asking-price. Once we had a contract Jenny did not abandon us. She help even after closing. In summary Jenny was superb. I would use her again. read more

Alexa Kanelos was very professional and went out of her way as she helped us find the perfect home for our family...BOTH TIMES! She is very knowledgeable on all things Austin from schools, neighborhoods, churches, food, things to do, where to see Christmas lights, etc. Grateful for her helping our family as we transitioned to Austin from Houston! She's the best! read more

Our agent was Caroline Mowry. She was nothing short of amazing to work with. She showed patience and incredible knowledge of the Austin market and guided us through the entire process. This wasn't our first home buying experience but, by far, the best we have ever experienced. We would highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the Austin market! read more

Kelvin Glover was my realtor with Chris Hernandez as his assistant . Chris drove me many properties since I was not driving in Austin bc I am from NY. He was polite and very pleasant . Kelvin drove me also and was always looking out for my interests by pointing out when prices were too high and what was in need of repair. He was willing to negotiate repairs needed before closing . He has done the same for my daughter and my son in law who recently went into contract. I recommend Kelvin without reservation... you will be in good hands. read more

Kim Fodor is nothing but spectacular. We have worked with her on several occasions and could not be happier. She is informed, professional and delightful to be around. Thanks again Kim! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Cynthia on referral from my sister who spoke highly of her and so I decided to give her a try. Cynthia was absolutely fantastic to work with, start to finish. She listened and learned what my preferences were in home features, location, and budget and helped guide me to options that I was able to review. She stayed on top of things even when I was abroad in London for 6 months and sent me some options and kept me in the loop. She even Facetimed with me to provide me virtual views of homes while I was away! When I decided to put the search on pause until I got back to the States, she completely understood and respected that and didn't pressure me at all. When I got back to the States and picked back up on house-hunting on fast-forward speeds, things got a little hairy on my end where I was getting frustrated with losing out on bids or finding homes with too many issues. I had to leave yet again to go abroad and had about a little less than 1.5 months to find a home before I left again. I definitely took out my frustrations on her and got testy and grumpy (and yelly and angry and batshit) with her, but she never once reacted equally. She was always the consummate professional and was sympathetic with my plight of being a nomad for so long. When I finally got a house, she made sure she was on top of all the details to expedite the process as much as she could. She followed up on all the paperwork and action items, and made sure it was arranged for my sister to have power of attorney to handle the final transaction. The house closed, my sister got the keys, and Cynthia was a sweetheart and left me flowers, a bottle of champagne, and a kind note congratulating me on getting the home after a long and arduous search. After this wonderful experience with Cynthia, I cannot say enough good things about her. She's sweet, honest, sympathetic, patient, hilarious, and down-to-earth. I'll happily refer her to anyone in the market for buying or selling a home! read more

Had the absolute best experience with this real estate company. My realtor Adam baker went over and beyond every expectation I had. He always responded in a timely manor and answered all of my questions through out my Horne buying process. He is very friendly and professional and it was a wonderful positive experience. Would highly recommend if you are buying or selling in the Austin area. He was very knowledgeable about the market and has great referrals for anyone you made need along the way. read more

I used Todd Bailey and Gillian Robb to sell my home in central Austin last month and they couldn't have been anymore amazing! Before choosing to work with these two saints, I had my home listed with a good friend for over 6 months and although I believe they did the best they could, the home still wasn't selling! Knowing enough about the Austin market, I knew this couldn't be typical and decided I needed to make a switch. After conducting extensive research and consulting with some friends, I decided to make a switch to Todd and Gillian as I felt confident in them to be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort, not necessarily financially) and how they promote their listings. Regardless of recommendations, these 2 stood out as the best Austin has to offer: their organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), their social media presence was strong, and I could tell they put a lot of work into their listings. I spoke with Todd and then him, myself and Gillian met at my house where they spent hours answering my questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. This was night and day to my previous experience. I was obviously concerned that my house, which was a pretty unique property for multiple reasons and considering my previous 6 months on the market, might be tough to sell. Todd and Gillian made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), to make sure my property relaunched on the market with the best chances of a strong offer and, ultimately, selling! When I saw my listing I was blown away, as well as family and friends who had been following my progress and immediately took note of the monumental differences in quality from the previous listing. Todd and Gillian's hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - my listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. I think I had an offer less than 2 weeks after we signed the listing agreement, which I think the house was only visible on the market for maybe a week of that time period. I accepted the offer and Todd and Gillian walked me through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I know they also did significantly more than the call of duty requires, which meant the world to me. I really felt like I had two of my best friends working for me and having my back. I've recommended The Bailey Team to everyone I know. They're true professionals and genuinely nice people! I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor, regardless of your situation! read more

Our Realtor, Lily Clauson was just wonderful to work with. We were selling our condo and she was super at assessing the market, advising on pricing and staging and getting us more than we listed for in less than 40 days. Her recommendations were spot on and she is a pleasure to deal with. Excellent communication and she knows the ever-changing Austin real estate market very well. We have worked with several RE Agents in Austin over the years and usually walk away with a sour taste from the transaction...Lily has been able to show us the true value of working with a serious and seasoned professional who has your best interests in the forefront. She is so thorough she even knew the secrets to cleaning our cooktop like new! We will certainly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell or lease a property in Austin, she in an excellent Realtor in a sea of mediocrity. THANK YOU Lily! read more

You're not going to find a real estate agent who is more honest or harder working than Gabi Letie. I would absolutely hire her again. Even before I started looking for a house, she helped me to prepare by telling me about different neighborhoods, helping me to developre asonable expectations, and by encouraging me to line up financing. She spent many hours with me even before I began to look for a home in earnest. Once it came time to find a house, Gabi sent me listings (both on- and off-market), went to a dozen open houses with me, and helped me to find several homes that I loved. She helped me to bid as high as was reasonable on the houses I did like, but not overbid. Some realtors might encourage you to bid as high as possible, since the higher the bid the more money they make. But not Gabi. She has honest, Christian morals and wants you to be happy in your new home more than she wants to make an extra buck. Over the several months that I searched for my dream home, Gabi spent dozens on dozens of hours with me, both over the phone and in person. I told her I felt bad about how much time I took from her but she ensured me that she was happy to do all she could to help me. And boy did she help. What most impressed me about Gabi is that we were able to work together to solve problems--from bidding wars to financing problems to negotiating concessions--in such a way that I felt we did our collective best. She acted as a counselor, providing me with all the information I needed to make the best decision possible. And she was firm with her advice when she needed to be. That firmness saved me from several possible pitfalls, such as bidding on a house that was a big teardown risk (you never know what's inside the walls, and she found moisture during an open house that may have rotted the strucural wood away!) Gabi helped me to find and secure my dream home at a price much lower than I expected (how often do you hear that in this market?). I'll be recommending her to my friends when they look to buy or sell real estate in Austin. read more

We LOVED working with Jenn Carey! She was such an incredible partner and made us feel extremely confident throughout our entire homebuying journey. From the get-go, she worked to understand our needs and prepared a comprehensive list of neighborhoods along with their most up-to-date inventory (for new builds) and also provided recommendations for resale homes. We were out of state too and had limited time to visit homes, but she made sure we could still make the most of our time. In a challenging and difficult-to-navigate Austin market, Jenn advocated strongly for us and answered all of the questions we had throughout the process. We love our new home and definitely couldn't have done this without her. We learned so much along the way too. Thanks Jenn! read more

I cannot say enough how helpful and encouraging Johnny was throughout this rather complicated process. I uttered the statement, "I'm so glad I've got you in my corner," many times throughout the process. Here are some of the ways he helped me: * Determine what renovations I should do * Referred me to a best-in-class contractor that did all the work * Found an awesome new home for me -- I didn't have to do any work on this * Answered all my questions immediately * Held open houses for me * Handled all negotiations for me * Got me a price significantly higher than I was expecting * Was a therapist for me when I got stressed out Johnny has impeccable communication skills and such a powerfully positive attitude. Selling a house is an emotional process and it's imperative to have someone like Johnny in your corner when doing so. I couldn't be more grateful and satisfied with my experience. Thank you, Johnny! read more

We bought our first house in Austin over 25 years ago, and since then have bought and sold many more as investment properties. Debbie Trominski became our "Realtor for Life" when we started looking to add to our investment properties a few years ago. She was able to find some amazing deals for us, and recently was able to help us quickly sell a house as well. As a property investor herself, she has a wealth of practical information that she readily shares with her clients. In addition to the business aspect, she's really great at developing a personal relationship with her clients, and we've become friends in the process. Her (pre-COVID) client appreciation parties were always fun, and now she is branching out to online events. Recently she has hosted webinars that are very informative and helpful. A recent one introduced us to Homeward Mortgage services which allows us to make a cash offer upfront, which definitely gives us an advantage in Austin's white hot real estate market. As Debbie says in her bio, she becomes the "Godmother" of your house when you buy and will be there for you well after the sale. During the recent (Feb 2021) weather emergency she reached out to us to see how we were coping, and how our rental properties were holding up. It's nice to know we can always count on Debbie for help with our properties after the sale, and to know she'll be there for our next purchase! read more

Brian Copland, my Realty Austin realtor, is simply the BEST. He goes above and beyond, working tirelessly to get the best results and to create a win-win for all parties. He's really gifted at this more than any realtor I've ever worked with. And I just sense he absolutely loves what he's doing. I recommend him to everyone I encounter who needs a realtor. I call him the "adorable pit bull" and I mean it in the most positive way. read more

Kim Fry is the absolute best! She is extremely smart and knowledgeable about the real-estate industry, but at the same time is able to explain it in terms that a layperson like me can understand. She is a total pro about following up with people - you can feel confident that she will always have her bases covered when it comes to communicating with the other agent, the inspectors, the lender, the title company, etc. She is extremely flexible and would make time to chat with us in the evenings and weekends if necessary - something I appreciate as a working mom with limited time available. In Austin's hot market, she is a pro at knowing how to craft a competitive offer. On top of all that - she is super cool and easy to get along with! We started the slow search for our dream home almost 2 years ago. Kim was with us every step of the way and was endlessly patient with us. During this time, there were a couple of properties that we went into the option period on, and in the end backed out. She made us feel completely supported during these times and never pushed us to buy. When our dream home came along, she helped us craft a competitive offer. We ended up being one of 6 or 7 offers on the home. Our initial offer was not accepted, but Kim followed up diligently to make us the back-up offer. When the original buyer backed out, we were ready because of Kim! In the end, she helped us negotiate money off of the asking price to help offset issues with the home that needed repair - I know, awesome! We are so thankful to Kim for sticking with us and helping us get into our forever home. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

Our realtor, Kim Fodor, was outstanding! She was extremely informative, responsive, and patient throughout the entire process. She also helped us find a renter to take over our lease at another property with quick turnaround. We were blown away with how much she did to make our first time buying experience so smooth and successful. read more

Paco is the best realtor on the planet. As first time home buyers, we had no idea what we were doing, and the market conditions made it even more overwhelming. Paco not only helped us understand every single detail and process, but also went above and beyond navigating unprecedented conditions. Paco was actively on top of every single obstacle and communication, from helping us find the perfect location of a brand new home build, to pursuing frequent follow-ups with the builders and lenders, to handling the entire negotiating process. Ultimately, Paco got us an incredible price reduction on our dream home. After the build, he led us every step of the way through financing, inspection, blue tape walkthrough, and even taught us routine maintenance of appliances, how to set up trash services, you name it. We truly can't recommend him enough. read more
