Working with Teresa Carson was a wonderful experience. As I searched for a home in a new city, Teresa offered her wisdom and insight without ever trying to steer me in any one direction. She was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also thoughtful, forthright, and always respectful of my time (which was very limited) and my budget...also very limited. What really set Teresa apart was her sharp eye and honesty. She likely saved me from a serious financial loss (and potential health problems) by identifying a critical issue in a home I was ready to make an offer on. That alone showed how much she truly had my best interests at heart and not just to make a sale. Beyond that, Teresa was responsive, attentive, and a lot of fun to work with. Thanks to her, I was able to make one of the biggest decisions for me and my family with confidence and peace of mind. I highly recommend having Teresa on your team--whether you're buying, selling, renting, or even building a home. read more

It's unfortunate with all the good reviews for this place, we did not receive that same service. However, this is specifically about Michael Said who represents himself as part of this business. We were waiting on a house to move into and needed a temporary place to stay. Initially we felt fortunate to find this place as it was reasonably priced and we could rent it for six months. It was freshly painted but infested with cock roaches. Each time we notified Mr. Said, he did ultimately arrange for pest control. There were light switches that did not work, a closet door that would come off it's rails, missing drawer handles and we would find mice/rat feces in some cupboards in the kitchen. Mr. Said would have a maintenance person come out and fix things but typically not without multiple requests. But, we were only going to be there for a few months and we figured we would just tough it out. We barely unpacked since we were going to move again in a few short months. More than 30 days prior to our lease ending, we did notify Mr. Said that we would be leaving and not extend the lease. We also requested a "walk through" with Mr. Said. While he acknowledged the 30 day notice, he never responded to the walk through. On December 19th, more than ten days before the lease would end, we vacated the property but Mr. Said would not agree to meet. Ultimately, we left the keys under the door mat on December 21 as per Mr. Said's request. This was a full days before the lease was to expire and more than enough time for Mr. Said to walk through himself or with me to identify anything he felt should be addressed before the leased ended on December 31. But Mr. Said did not do this. On January 28, 2023 we received our refund and it was minus: - $150 for cleaning - $300 for "touch up paint" - $300 "yard cleaning & dead landscaping replacement" Given the constant cock roaches and rodent feces, I find the $150 cleaning to be excessive but we are not asking for that back. However, the place was newly painted and we never hung anything on the walls. There was absolutely not damage done to any walls that would necessitate any "touch up painting". The $300 is absurd and the lease specifically states "normal wear and tear expected". But there were no areas that needed touch up paint. It was winter when we moved out; Austin had just experienced several days of temperatures in the teens. You cannot possibly ascertain between landscaping that was dead versus dormant. However, there is no landscaping so I'm not even sure what they are claiming. There are two trees in the front and a big tree in the back. There are no shrubs, flowers or what they call "landscaping". While there might have been leaves on the ground, that's unavoidable at that time of year and no matter how often we could have cleaned up leaves from the trees, there would always be leaves. But there was no landscaping that arises to the $300 deduction Mr. Said took. I am a disabled Veteran who served 30 years for this country and it's appalling when people like Mr. Said take advantage of people. Again, I am posting this as Mr. Said represents himself as Realty Austin and for anyone who might do business with them, just to be aware of the practices of some of their people, specifically Mr. Said. read more

Zach W is great! Best realtor my wife and I have ever worked with! Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a top-tier experience!

From 2024 until the sale of our house in early 2025, we worked with Realty Austin, specifically Debbie Rumfelt. What a wonderful experience that was! We had been living in the house for 25 years, and it was due a few upgrades. Debbie and her team jumped in and took care of business, keeping us fully updated throughout the process. It looked beautiful by the time the upgrades were completed. Throughout the sales process, Debbie was fully committed to getting us the best possible sales price. She constantly watched the market for comparable sales in our area and suggested price updates as we went along. In the end, our house sold for a price that we felt happy with. If you are considering buying or selling a home, I highly recommend Realty Austin and Debbie Rumfelt! read more

Jeff Tucker, realtor/broker sold my condo in west campus at the University of Austin. Jeff is respectful, professional, and very pleasant to work with. He helped sold my condo within days of listing.

Cherry Amato, was our sellers agent for 2 houses we sold. She is surrounded by professionals who keep you abreast of everything. So you know where we're at all the time. My wife and I have bought and sold many houses. Honestly this was the smoothest transaction of them all. read more

Having moved from abroad to US and purchasing our first home, it was an overwhelming process. Not only are we navigating different cultural grounds, but also becoming familiar with the local housing market and regulations in US. Working with Amanda made all the difference for us. She is down to earth, knowledgeable, patient and a great realtor and person. Overall, it was an absolute pleasure and an excellent customer experience working with Amanda Nguyen on our home purchase. We would not hesitate to recommend Amanda to any client! read more

Teresa Carson was the definition of going above and beyond. She knew exactly what updates and changes I needed to make in order to sell my home quickly. In fact, comps sat on the market for weeks and months after mine sold. And even though interest rates and inventory both went up during the process, she was able to get multiple offers in a really competitive market. Her knowledge of the local market was second to none. I couldn't recommend Teresa more highly. read more

Worked with Karen Lewis and she was wonderful! Patient throughout the whole process and found the perfect home for us that fit all our requests! Couldn't have been happier as a first time buyer! read more

Where to start with Shannon Reeve and how fantastic she is? Let's take it back to early last year when we first connected with her. Shannon had just successfully bought and sold a home for our dear friends. Within two conversations, we realized why they appreciated Shannon. We went to Austin, checked out the area, looking at our options, and returned to our home state, convinced we wanted to live there. Weeks and months went by where we'd ping Shannon with a home, ask her for her insights, and then determine that the Austin market was too hot. Homes were almost without fail moving well above the asking price, and cash buyers were making it impossible for us to compete. Summer and fall of 2021 came and went, and we decided to move to a different state altogether. One thing followed another, and we kept coming back to...Austin. Shannon answered our call, followed up with us, gave us an entire run down on where things were heading, and immediately set us up for success. We'd also prepared in advance this time, and her expertise came into full display. She expertly advised us on market dynamics in the neighborhoods we considered, provided us local insight, and spoke to other agents to best position us. After all of that, she found us the perfect home. We now live in a home that is truly perfect for us. It's in a beautiful community, we are well within our budget, and our future outlook is net positive in Austin. We purchased the home at an excellent price and felt incredibly well taken care of throughout the process. Having engaged a few different realtors in different states to consider our options, we're convinced that Shannon Reeve is at the absolute top of her profession. Shannon's a genuinely great person to boot, kind, caring, empathetic, and overall someone you want on your side when making a decision of this magnitude. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Rosalia. She is amazing. Her first impression on me and something that impressed me the most is her organized guidance to a first time home buyer like me. She kept constantly in touch, answered all questions with great patience, gave a lot of good information even before I ask and guided me well throughout the process. She has given me valuable advice and dealt with all parties(seller, title, loan) keeping my interest as first priority. All through the process she stood besides me like a pillar and was a great support that I could rely on. Rosalia has indeed gone above and beyond the duties of a realtor and I would recommend her to everyone. read more

I used JC again on my second home and was more than satisfied with my experience once again. Not only did he help me find the home that met all of my wants and needs, he also helped me in negotiating with lenders and clearing up things I didn't understand in the process. As long as JC remains an agent, I will be using him for all future real estate transactions. read more

Rhianon was the best real estate we could have hoped to have. The positive energy in such a down turned market was a breath of fresh air. She helped us to stage our home perfectly. Walked us through the process the entire way so we were completely prepared for a super quick close. We had the funds in our bank within a few hours. Best of all she took the time to meet us for lunch a day before closing. She's been the best realtor we have used in 20+ years! read more

Ahhh Marcia Kim has been a true delight to work with from beginning to end. She is full of warmth and wisdom. She supported my husband and I to purchase our very first home within just a few short weeks of looking (EVER!) She guided and (didn't make us feel pressured once) and really tuned into our exact wants and needs. Marcia Bryan and I love you!! read more

I could not say enough great things about Brian O'Connor at Realty Austin! Brian is personable, knowledgeable, highly experienced and very professional. My husband and I are first time home buyers and we had an initial consultation with Brian to discuss what we were looking for and what was to be expected. He quickly grasped what my husband and I were looking for in a house and fine-tuned the searches so that all listings we viewed were relevant to what we wanted. What I loved best about Brian is that he is very communicative. I am a very inquisitive person and he was very patient answering my endless questions. He was always responsive to emails/text/phone calls and he is great at explaining complex subjects in layman terms. He never once try to sway our opinion and only provided facts so that we can make the best decision for ourselves. Brian worked around the clock from beginning to end and he always kept my husband and I updated on the process and what is to come next. Realty Austin offers professional easy to understand presentations when doing neighborhood analysis and at closing they even offer concierge services to help set up utilities for recent homebuyers. As we approached the closing process, I really appreciated how Brian helped coordinate the communication between the lender and title company. Towards the end it was wild, and if it wasn't for Brian I would have been running around like a madwoman. My husband and I are very VERY happy working with Brian. I thought we would have to overpay within this competitive market but with Brian's stellar negotiation skills we bought an amazing house with everything we wanted within our budget. I'd like to give a HUGE shout out to Brian O'Connor at Realty Austin! I would highly suggest him for anyone that is searching for the perfect home in the Austin area! read more

We had a wonderful experience with Rosalia! She is very professional, responsive, helpful and with generous patience. She not only help us to sell the house fast but also smoothly! We highly recommend her and will refer her to our family and friends! read more

My wife and I are relatively new to Texas having only been here 8 months. During that time we briefly discussed our future dreams of owning a home, but knew we needed to get settled and figure out the "lay of the land" first. Then the DREADED COVID19 struck and we were bound to our tiny apartment!!! [insert dramatic music here] During this time of reflection and boredom my wife started looking for houses, seeing as market prices were dropping. She ended up connecting with Mr. Wade Wallace one day and the adventure began. Little did we know at the time that we had started down the actual path towards our new home. Wade was knowledgeable about all the area's and every house he showed us hit on some level of what we were looking for. It was almost like we'd been friends for years and he know exactly what we were looking for. The day came when we saw our future castle. (really just a house but castle sounds cooler) Wade had hit on every point we wanted. We can't thank Wade enough for helping us find our first house and being such a trooper. Answering WAY too many questions I'm sure....like "Is that supposed to look like that?" It was a great adventure in our new state of TEXAS and Wade helped us enjoy the house hunting process during a pandemic. WELL DONE SIR and THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! (invitation to BBQ and housewarming party to come) Sincerely, Justin and Linda Russell read more

We couldn't have asked for a better team. I would definitely work with Zach & his all star team again. Every one was so communicative, helpful, patient, and totally generous with their time and energy. We will recommend Zach & team to anyone we know looking to buy or sell. In Austin's crazy market you need a team that knows what they are doing and can guide you through the process. As Sellers, he encouraged us to sell at the best time. We sold our home within 3 days and received well over asking price. As Buyers, once we landed on the perfect home, Zach and team got to work, ensuring that we brought the best offer to the table. Our offer was accepted and we are closing today on our dream house. read more

I enjoyed Justin Philips, even though we were living overseas at the time Of my inquiry looking for a home he still helped us and knew our budget wasn't very high. I had other realtors I was talking to but would suggest places I was not interested at all or just extremely rude and these were from very popular realtors on Yelp. Justin helped us with open arms and am happy to say we got our dream home. Thank you. read more

Lauren Pryor has been our realtor twice now. She's absolutely incredible to work with! She helped us purchase our first home in October 2019, and has recently helped us sell that home and purchase our new one in October 2023. She is easy to communicate with, very professional, and is wonderful to have on your side during these big transitions! she will always be our go to realtor! read more

We had the pleasure of having Betsy Gallagher recommended to us by friends, and I cannot imagine going through the home buying/selling process in the Austin market without her help. Through her efforts, we had a seamless process from beginning to end. Betsy did an excellent job guiding us through the search for a new home and helped us find the perfect location and layout to make our own. She was always available to answer any of our questions and worked around our schedules to ensure we had an opportunity to look at all the houses we liked, and her knowledge of the Austin market was key in helping us understand what to look for in homes and what competitive offers looked like during the Summer of 2021. Through her experience and guidance, it only took us two offers to get the perfect house. Outside of the home purchasing process, she also did a fantastic job of helping us stage and price our previous home to ensure we had had multiple offers and that we were able to accept an offer above the list price within just a few days of putting it on the market. Throughout both closings, she paid attention to every detail and ensured that nothing fell through the cracks. With her help, we were able to go into both closings with confidence that every detail had been covered and there would not be any surprises. All told, we would highly recommend working with Betsy during your next home search and we look forward to working with her again in the future. read more

I worked with Zach Wallace from Realty Austin and I honestly cannot put into words how amazing he and his team were to work with. I had an interesting buying experience on a new build, with a lot of challenges along the two year wait, and Zach was there for every step of it. He and his team were always two steps ahead and on top of everything. His expertise in the home buying experience was super helpful and I honestly could not have gotten through this experience without him. I cannot speak highly enough of Zach and would recommend him to anyone! read more

Jeremy Fisher with Reality Austin North is top notch, he really knows every angle and what to look for and avoid in the real estate market. He helped us buy our home in Leander in 2017 and also helped us sell in 2022. He told us Leander would be a good investment, great area to raise children, and it would be booming in 5 years.Fast forward 5 years and it was all of those things and then some. He is so understanding, professional, caring, honest, and always Accommodating. I highly recommend Jeremy Fisher to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, they would be lucky to have him as their agent, a true gem!! read more

I recently worked with Moe and Realty Austin for a third time, this time for selling and not for buying, and the experience has once again been an awesome one. I would highly recommend Moe and Realty Austin for any of your realty needs! Moe is very well versed in the realty world and is excellent in guiding his clients through all of the processes. Another invaluable item that Moe brought to the table was his network connections in the realty world for things such as insurance, financing, home repairs, etc. His experience and networking has saved me countless hours of time and headache. read more

Honestly, the market right now is ridiculous and we wouldn't be where we are without the team at Realty Austin and especially Betsy! As first-time buyers, Betsy took us under her wing and made sure that all our silly and not-so-silly questions were answered with ease and professionalism. Betsy was able to share her decades of Austin realty knowledge as well as her experience in buying/selling/flipping homes to help us understand what we might be getting into between a fixer-upper or a move-in-ready. Thanks to Betsy, we are getting ready to move into our first home in the coming weeks and have already recommended Betsy and the Realty Austin team to several people looking at renting and buying. Highly recommend the team and Betsy in particular! read more

Crystal Bourque helped us find a rental home that met all our requirements. She is very detailed oriented and listens to all the requirements very carefully. Infact, she did consider many factors that we now enjoy but had never mentioned her in our must haves. We had a pretty aggressive timeline to find a home, and were not in city. Crystals help was critical in quickly finding relevant properties, showing us the property via Zoom, and explore the neighborhood . And even beyond finding a home, she was incredibly helpful when we went under contract. I'd highly recommend her to anyone that's looking to rent or buy a home. read more

I started the process of buying a house last year and because I didn't have a super fat budget it was pretty hard to find a nice, decent house. I went through two realtors who acted like they were doing me a favor by throwing at the me the most undesirable properties you can imagine and would disappear for weeks at a time. Then I met Rhonda Gehrke!! I cannot emphasize enough how amazing she is, not only will she find you a great house but she will guide and counsel you through out the very confusing process. There wasn't a day in which Rhonda wasn't getting in touch with me either via email, personal text or phone. She's just incredible and I highly recommend her, so if you're a first time home buyer or just dead tired of searching for the home of your dreams (as I did) Rhonda and her team will be there for you every step of the way. Thank you Rhonda, you made our dreams come true. read more

Rosalia is knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. Excellent attention to detail and strong representation of buyers interests. Great referrals on related services from mortgage to lawn care. Facilitated our move from California. Highly recommended. read more

The fabulous Debbie Fontenette recently (closing was 10/8/20210 assisted me with the sale of my south Austin home, which she assisted me when I purchased the same home on September 11, 2015. I rented a property from Debbie from 2010-2015 in north Austin, which is how I came to know this caring, friendly, funny and knowledgeable lady. During the recent sale process, she guided me throughout the staging process, contract phase, and most importantly, the closing. She was responsive to all my texts and calls during both 2015 purchase and 2021 sale of the property. I recommend Debbie's services if you are in the Austin area. Debbie is just not a realtor, she will become your life long friend too. read more

I was completely blown away by the level of service I got from Zach Wallace at Realty Austin, as well as his team Kyle, Morgan, and Julia. I cannot recommend them enough. We felt so taken care of every step of the way by Zach, and he was always a phone call away, going above and beyond at every step. I basically had this man on speed dial for 3 months straight, from initial tours all the way through closing, and he was always there to take my call with the best attitude and a head full of knowledge regarding my endless questions as a first time buyer. We closed on our first home today about 3 months after we started our search with Realty Austin, and considering this market is crazy and we are NOT cash buyers, that's pretty incredible. Look no further than Zach at Realty Austin if you want the highest caliber of service. read more

Joelle Chamorro at Realty Austin is absolutely amazing! She helped us find our dream home in Austin, and along the way explore all the Austin neighborhoods to find the perfect house! She helped every step of the way from narrowing down our criteria as we explored open houses, to great recommendations for lending as well as being on top of everything during our option period, inspection and closing. read more

Jen Murray and her team at Realty Austin made selling our home an absolute seamless process. No really - all we did was pack a few boxes. Jen used many different marketing approaches, even leveraging her own Instagram page, to market our home. She was creative in her approach, knowledgable about the market, extremely communicative, and we sold our home for well over asking within a couple of hours. WOW. I would absolutely recommend Jen and her team - if I could give 10 stars I would. :D Thank you so much, Jen! read more

We highly recommend Kevin Hutchison!!! He helped us buy our first home remotely and was patient in answering our many questions as first time buyers. He helped us tour houses within a short period of time given the limitations of our schedule and was flexible and accommodating in setting up viewing on short notice. Despite a challenging market, he expertly navigated negotiations and we successfully closed on our first choice in less than a month! He is personable, has a great sense of humor, and we felt reassured he had our best interest in mind. So grateful for the support and guidance, we will definitely work with him again and would recommend him to our friends and family. read more

I had an amazing experience finding my first property with Ferree Rhodes. It took me a while to find my perfect property due to changes in my career and personal life but she was always there for me when I needed, and was patient as we continued my search. She really goes above and beyond to make the home searching experience smooth, comfortable and provided confidence when I did decide on the final property. I was completely new to the home buying market and she was not only a great realtor but a mentor throughout it all. Though she had many clients while working with me, she truly made me feel like a priority. For every home tour I felt I could trust her advice on anything and was very knowledgeable about the whole process. I learned so much and was ultimately able to sign with no hesitation and am extremely happy with my place! I would highly recommend her to my own friends, family and really anyone who is looking for property in the Austin area! We all know how crazy the market is here but working with Ferree made the process smooth. I am already looking forward to working with her in the future for selling/buying :) ! read more

This was our first house purchase and we had a ton of questions. We went with Pete Russian on a recommendation from a friend, and we couldn't be happier that we did. Pete took all the time we needed and answered everything thoroughly. We went through hundreds of house online and narrowed them down to about 50. Pete listened very well and helped us find our perfect house, which was ultimately among those that we eliminated. We're so happy that we had Pete to help us find the perfect one! read more

Meleah Wehman was fantastic to work with! She went above and beyond. Throughout the entire process of buying a home in Austin, while living in Houston, she was a friend, an advisor, a total professional. She checked and double checked everything for me. To say she's patient and kind is an understatement. She's very knowledgeable in the Austin real estate market. Meleah answered every question that I had. She returned every phone call. She was always happy to help. She's extremely supportive and gave me expert advice. I am so thankful for her hard work! Meleah has my HIGHEST recommendation! read more

I worked with Kyle on a new home purchase & a duplex sale. Kyle was attentive & good to work with at first but that changed when I started to notice that he made multiple false claims. He claimed that he could rent or sell my home for free if I purchased a new build home with him as my rep which is not allowed by Austin Reality. He also negotiated poorly & purposely caused issues with the buyer's agent during the sale of my duplex. Kyle illegally withheld communication updates from the buyer & their agent, updates that were specifically directed to me. My property was under contract for over 2 months before he decided to pull a fast one & tried to get a 4% to 2% commission split in his favor. Of course there was a struggle over this which he lost. This delayed my closing for weeks & caused issues with my 10-31 exchange. Kyle promised me a 1% rebate & a 1000 USD credit via email with his manager copied for my next deal. Kyle failed to deliver again & now refuses to honor his word again. I am deeply disappointed in him & in my experience with Realty Austin. read more

Brooke Long is a true asset to the Realty Austin team! As being a first time home buyer and with the current state of the market and financing I was really skeptical about purchasing a home. Brookes knowledge, professionalism, and willingness to step me though each part of the home buying process made me feel really comfortable in purchasing a home. As you are aware the home buyers market in Austin is really tough. Brooke stood by me though all the outbidding and made sure I did not loose faith in purchasing a home in Austin. We looked at well over a dozen homes, and thanks to her determination I was able to get the home of my dreams. read more

It was my absolute pleasure work with Elliot Pemberton on 3 real estate transactions. 2 home buys and 1 home sale. Knowledgeable, easy to work with and a tough negotiator. Elliot has accurate market insight, is a student of the Austin market and its obvious he enjoys his work. Elliot is the absolute top of the ladder in his profession. I was very impressed with his expertise and professionalism when I used him to purchase my first Austin home. He understood exactly what I was looking for and I found the perfect home for me. My second home purchase with him was identical. Elliot has a great understanding of value of homes and how much offer. He did great negotiating inspection items. However, I was simply blown away when he sold my home. All his prior talents shown through but his help prepping my home (recent full remodel) was critical. Every person he suggested I hire was great. In particular Elliot marketed and had my home staged in a way I did not image possible. His custom marketing was incredible: the staging was perfect, the photos were sharp/bright/accurate and they way he put together my listing and flyers was impressive. That house never will look that good again. I sold my home with Elliot in 23 hours, with multiple offers and way above asking. It all came together in the most wonderful way, orchestrated the entire time. On a personal note I found Elliot extremely personable and comfortable to work with. I never felt rushed, or pressured to do anything I wasn't ready for. Elliot also spent time educating me on matters I wanted to know about. When I need help of a real estate agent in the future, Elliot Pemberton will be my first and only call. read more

Our agent, Marcia Kim, was very quick, on top of things, responsive and helped a first time buyer like me to feel better about the complicated process. She was very thorough, provided feedback and documentation needed in very short time frames. She told me she's very good at winner bids at the beginning of the process and she was not joking. We bid on two houses( decided to back out on the first one) and we won the bid both times. I highly recommend Marcia for your housing needs in Austin. read more
