As first-time buyers, my husband and I went into this process cautiously, not knowing what to expect. JC made the entire process feel manageable and even enjoyable. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and always took the time to explain things clearly so we felt confident in every decision. JC was extremely responsive and kept us informed every step of the way, which gave us so much peace of mind during what can be a stressful process. JC is thoughtful and professional, he truly had our best interests at heart and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. He had our backs and really helped us thoroughly examine every home option we considered. We're so grateful for his support and would highly recommend JC to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Relocating from the East Coast to Texas with a family is not simple, and Julie made the whole…read moreprocess feel manageable. We came in not knowing the areas, the differences between neighborhoods, or even what type of home made the most sense for us long term. Julie helped us break it all down in a way that was easy to understand. She was very knowledgeable about different neighborhoods, school districts, and what each area actually offers. That helped us narrow things down quickly without feeling like we were guessing. One of the biggest things she helped us with was understanding the pros and cons of new construction versus existing homes. She walked us through taxes, long term costs, and what to expect in each scenario, which gave us a lot more confidence in our decisions. She also did a great job balancing both my preferences and my wife's. That's not easy, but she stayed patient and helped us find common ground without ever pushing us. We also spent part of the process renting, and she supported us through that phase too, which we really appreciated. Overall, she's thoughtful, informed, and genuinely cares about helping you find the right fit. Highly recommend.

My wife and I have been working with Chris Torrey with Elite Realty Advisors since the middle of…read more2015 and are about to close on a home in Austin, TX. Since we live in Los Angeles, we were concerned about the entire home buying process given that we can't physically see every home we're interested in (let alone make an offer on a home site unseen). Chris has consistently gone above and beyond for us, emailing us walk-though videos, providing CMA's quickly and offering tons of insight about each neighborhood, property and how to manage the home buying process in general. Perhaps most importantly, given how competitive the Austin market is right now, he's provided us info quickly enough that we can make decisions with confidence and succeed in these borderline-ridiculous multiple offer situations. He also recommended vendors that have done a killer job with inspections and our home loan. He even helped us get more concessions from the sellers than we originally requested, which was a huge bonus! To say that buying in Austin is crazy right now would be an understatement, but Chris helped us ease into the market in an educated way and soon we'll be in the home we wanted most. If you're buying in the Austin area (especially if you're an out-of-towner), I highly recommend using Chris Torrey and Elite Realty Advisors.

We were never overwhelmed by the processes and never felt that any of our questions were too simple to ask. I have recommended Elite Realty Advisors to a friend recently selling their home. Wonderful experience on selling our home (in 7 days) to buying a home within a month in a highly volatile market where homes were flying off the market; as soon as we found one we were able to get in touch with Chris to schedule a tour. We simply cannot say enough positive things about Elite Realty Advisors and how seamless the entire process was.

I have been using Mars Hill Realty to manage my rental house in Round Rock, Texas for the last 7…read moreyears. They have done a great job responding to the tenants need and keeping my rental house in top shape. I love the fact that they are proactive in recommending repairs to various parts of the house before it becomes very expensive to fix. In addition to the superb service they provided me, they have a top notched team who treats me like family. Everyone is very professional, respectful, and caring. One of the team member whom I've had the pleasure of working with over the years is Valerie Tillery. Valerie is very knowledgeable in real estate and property management. Whenever I have a question regarding my investment property, Valerie always responded quickly with clear answers to my questions. I've always felt that Valerie takes her time to make sure that any concerns or issues I have about my property is well addressed. Under her management, my rental property was never vacant for more than a week or two between tenants. That's just the time it takes for the crew to get the house ready for the next tenant. We usually have a new tenant signed a rental agreement before the old tenant moved out. My investment house have been cash flowing nicely since my purchase. I enjoyed working with Mars Hill Realty so much that I'm in the process of closing on another property in Georgetown, Texas for them to manage. Aside from Texas, I was also looking at Florida for my second investment home. While the housing prices in Florida is comparable to Texas, the cost of investing in Florida is cheaper than Texas because they have lower property tax. So why didn't I invest in Florida? Because Mars Hill Realty does not do business there. There's no property management that I trust more than Mars Hill Realty. In fact, it was Valerie who introduced me to the neighborhood that I'm buying my second investment home in. My experience as a property investor has been really stress-free with Mars Hill Realty managing my property. If you want a property management company that takes care of your property as if it's their own, you should consider working with Mars Hill Realty. I promise that you won't regret it.

Lori is the kindest, most patient, and knowledgable realtor we have ever worked with…read more We met Lori when she showed us a listing where she represented the buyer. While that house was not the right home for us, we knew right away that we wanted to work with Lori to help us with our search for the right home. Along the way, Lori's expertise in the field and knowledge of the market helped us navigate through the home-buying process. We were not comfortable purchasing a home that was priced significantly more than other homes in the area. Lori helped us by educating us on how to read the information on listings and provided us with lists of comps in the area so that we could make a decision for ourselves on what a reasonable offer price would be. She accompanied us to every inspection and provided us with extra reading material when we encountered an area of concern that we didn't understand (construction stuff). She is also very good at responding to texts and emails - she even worked on an offer for us while she was on vacation! We cannot thank Lori enough for the time and care she put into helping us FINALLY find our forever home. Choose to work with Lori if you've had horrible experiences in the past with realtors. Her strength is that she's able to read the needs of her clients well and so she's not pushy at all. We really loved working with Lori.

There are other new build developments offering better houses and better deals. Bigalow requires a 3.5% deposit which is insane! No other builder has a deposit that large and I wish my real estate agent had dissuaded me from signing this awful contract which gives Bigalow up to 2 years to delay your house. With such a bad contract, why did I ever sign? lt was March 2022, the height of the real estate craziness and this was a no bid community. Charlene the sales rep told me that all the materials for the house were already sourced and that the likelihood of a delay was very unlikely. Great! I thought I could lock in a solid rate and the house would be done by September, possibly October. She had straight up lied to me. By the end of July we were finally told the house would be delayed till November. Luckily we had a back up mortgage rate lock for 4.7 that went til January. And... you guessed it. The house was delayed further, leaving us with a large mortgage rate. It no longer made sense to continue and we canceled our contract. This is the biggest regret I had in my life. They have a terrible contract, poor communication, and will lie to get a contract signed. Please if you read this: Avoid Bigalow.
