When we began our search for a home, we thought we were looking for a realtor. What we found in…read moreLaura Tomaszewski was so much more. From day one, Laura took the time to truly get to know us as people. She listened carefully to what we liked and didn't like, understood our goals, and took the time to learn what was most important to us in finding the right home. She didn't just help us search for houses... she became a trusted advocate who genuinely championed our interests every step of the way. Laura went above and beyond in ways we never expected. Every property we considered was thoroughly vetted, not only for its features and condition, but also for potential issues that could affect us down the road. Whether it was physical concerns with the property, deed restrictions, HOA requirements, or anything else that might impact our future enjoyment of the home, Laura dug deep and made sure we had the information we needed to make confident decisions. What impressed us most was the level of care she brought to the process. She evaluated each home as if her own family were purchasing it. We never felt pressured. We never felt rushed. We always felt protected, informed, and supported. Buying a home can be stressful, but Laura made the experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Her professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, and genuine care for her clients set her apart. She isn't simply selling homes... she's helping people create the next chapter of their lives. We are incredibly grateful for everything Laura did for us and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want someone who will truly have your best interests at heart, Laura Tomaszewski is the person you want by your side. Thank you, Laura, for helping us find not just a house, but a place we are excited to call home.

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.

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.

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.
