I must say this community is stunning, and so well thought out. We originally fell in love with a…read moreSpec on the ground, but after learning it was sold we explored the option of building from the ground up. Chad was our sales rep, and did a great job exploring the options with us, and helping us figure out the overall cost of a new build. While we did give earnest money down, and go thru the design process, ultimately we decided to put a pause on the construction process, in lew of possible upcoming specs or something on the ground in the next few months. I will most certainly keep Lennar @ Parten in our circle of options as we make final steps to purchasing our house! Unlike other builders I have worked with in the past that refuse to return earnest money if the costs get too high or any other loophole reason, Chad was gracious and allowed us to have the money returned until it is a better time to think on the housing search again. Thank you Chad for your expertise, and the team @ the design center for assisting us thru the steps. We are excited to come on back to your community later this year and see the progress and hopefully find the perfect fit!

I wonder why all these people move 45+ minutes from 'town' only to pack themselves together on these shoddy, little lots of look-alike crapulatica. I've done the math. you arent saving money- the price / sq. foot is ridiculous considering you are in suburban hell, you are 36" from your neighbor, the architecture is 1980's LAME, the infrastructure (water pressure, effluent , and traffic is unprepared) and dumping your poop into what was nice hill country land. Oh and that was a nice trick to with the Effluent dumping regulation hula-hoop. If every developer is as clever, the planet would be paved in concrete and covered in poop. No-one learned SQUAT from Circle C and the mess as described in the Unforeseen.. but it was foreseen. History repeats itself until some developer is rich, and the beautiful places are sanitized and laminated for you.

She helped me with the flooring, lighting fixtures, bathroom vanity, just everything really and she introduced me to Non-VOC paints and there was no terrible paint smell or chemicals that give me a headache when they were painting or during the drying process. The wood work was done by a very talented young man named David that they have on their team and he is very skilled, puts the finishing touch on the room. They kept in touch with me daily and Alix stopped by several times to cehck on the progress, she brought me flowers and a beautiful gift basket with a massage gift card because she knows the renovation process can be stressful when you are living in your home! I highly recommend them.

Daniel designed our custom home in a gated community outside of Austin in the Hill Country. We was…read moreimpressed with his architectural vision from the beginning and after 10 in-person meetings ( 3 in person and 6 via zoom ) we had a fully developed architectural 3D model that we give you from all sides. Daniel was very generous with his time and since we have quite a few impressive views we wanted to capture all of the views perfeand all of the Hill Country ambiance

5 star Architect for a reason!…read more Daniel has an architectural approach that I believe people will find very rare and refreshing these days. He is very giving of his time, knowledge, and is the most collaborative of the 3 Architects we have used on the 2 other custom homes we have built. As an example, even before we signed a contract he made multiple site visits to give us his friendly professional insight about several lots we were considering before we selected the property we ultimately purchased. He was extremely accommodating and friendly throughout the entire process. Collaboration is his priority from the beginning and he made it very convenient through the use of screen share as we designed the home together. We were really impressed with the architectural 3D model that Daniel created. It was amazing that we were able to have a computer-generated 3D model to visualize the complete exterior as well as the outdoor entertaining, outdoor kitchen, and the pool and spa area. We were able to have the majority of our meetings in the evenings after we got off work and we even did a screen share to collaborate on our laptop while we were out of town visiting family. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about both the architectural and contractual aspects of building, but he seems to have a great instinct for what the client is looking achieve. He also had the desire to study alternatives and create several layouts that might make the most sense for the lifestyle we described. Our custom home is amazing and we would definitely recommend him to our friends. We enjoyed the process of the architectural design of our custom home and even more surprisingly we enjoyed the building process that is often stressful. Instrumental in our smooth building process was Daniel's custom home building budget that he accurately laid out from the beginning giving us many options and associated costs. Daniel's project management and selection of the builder really took confusion out of the process and stress off of our lap. Other critical details that made build successful was his guidance and assistance with the interior design, kitchen, and bath design, and selection of all of our interior finishes and fixtures. Our kitchen and bathrooms really stand out with exceptional design and we are very grateful for that. All in all the 3% that he charged to be a complete steward of our project was an easy decision. We will definitely be using him in the future and so will our friends that are very impressed with our the result as well as our highly detailed and accurate design and building process.

She helped us stage the house we sold to get top dollar and it clearly worked because we got $30k over an already over inflated asking price and set the record for the highest dollar amount/sqft. in the neighborhood.

High recommended!

As a former salesperson myself, I marveled at how well he managed us, the buyers, and the whole process.

In fact, after working with about 6 realtors in other transactions, I would definitively say he was the absolute best! Truly a gem. I will recommend him to friends and family for a long time!

We…read moredidn't really know the area very well, but Mark immediately got a feel for the kind of place that would work with our lifestyle and found a hidden gem of a house in a great neighborhood. After living there for 4 years and making a bunch of improvements we decided to move out of state to be closer to family. This was summer of 2023 and the Austin market had already started tanking after the huge 2020-21 price surges. We weren't sure the place would sell because everything in the city was sitting for months. Mark's team put together an incredible listing and did tons of marketing and open houses and got us offer at close to full price after only 2 weeks on market! There were a lot of hurdles to jump through with the inspection and closing process, but the team stayed on top of everything and kept the deal together until we closed. The Strub team is the best in the business and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in Austin.

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.
