Together my daughter and Betty weighted the Pros and Cons of places and they decided which place was best for her College needs at the time. Betty helped my entire family find a place for my daughter to live while @ UT. This was a place that our family could afford and one that my daughter was happy living in. Betty found the place that she moved into and lived during her college years. Betty is now helping my daughter select and find property in and around New Braunfels. Betty is honest, sincere, funny, very committed, knowledgeable, resourceful, and experienced. She knows all the various neighborhoods in the Austin Area. Betty helped my niece and nephew, who moved from Seattle, find a place to live in a matter of days. She put together a great plan and they worked together to find a place quickly. They visited many places in various neighborhoods that would suit their growing family. Over the summer in a few weeks, Betty helped them find the home they are living in now in a matter of days over a few months work and research. Betty has also helped several friends who were renting at work find a home. Everyone I know who has used her services has been pleased.

I had a fantastic experience with Russ and the Eitel Group…read more I live in California and have been thinking about relocating to the Austin/Lakeway area. Russ was kind enough to spend a couple of days with my wife and I showing us the area and advising us on the different communities. We were in the just looking phase and he still took his very valuable time and really imparted his knowledge about the area to us. When we do decide to make the move I can assure you Russ Eitel and the Eitel group will be our Realtors.

I am a real estate broker in San Diego, CA and my sister was relocating to Austin so I set out to…read morefind a realtor for her. I generally don't use Yelp for that purpose but on a whim, I opted to check out the reviews. I found several who looked promising and contacted all three. Through telephone/email interviews I narrowed my choice to Joanne. So glad that I did as we only had 2 days to find a house and Joanne and William worked tirelessly the entire weekend. In fact, it was a game day on Saturday and that's a big deal in Texas, but they chose to still work with us. They showed us properties in north, south and central as my sister wasn't familiar with the area and wanted to review all options. It was a successful weekend as she bought a house and even secured a short closing just before the Thanksgiving holiday. Being a realtor I am picky myself, so rest assured you will be in competant hands with the Violet Crown Realty team.

Please note that the below response from JoAnne is dishonest about the relationship between her and…read moreus (renters). We worked very regularly with her on ALL of our concerns with the condo/ maintenance requests throughout the entire 2.5 years as renters of the property (we only worked with the owners on a limited basis to send rent payments) and have the emails to validate this relationship. But nonetheless, it's good to see that this is something they will take seriously and hopefully things change for the better. BEWARE!!!!!!!! PLEASE READ IF YOU PLAN TO RENT FROM OWNERS THAT ARE USING VIOLET CROWN AS THEIR PROPERTY MANAGERS. I worked with JoAnne as the Property Manager for the condo that I was leasing for the past 2.5 years and it was an up and down journey. Sometimes she was really kind (for example, she put together my coffee table and lowered rent for us on behalf of the owners one of the years that we were re-signing as an incentive for us to stay) and other times she would be insensitive (she once yelled at me on the phone because she was having a bad day while I tried to calmly sort out some requests we had for the condo and my roommate recorded this conversation; we were appalled). In addition, she sent passive aggressive emails and we had to do the best we could to bite our tongues. In the words of Maya Angelou - "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." I will never forget how JoAnne made me feel. It was not as pleasant of an experience as I had hoped it would have been but there is a silver lining in all of this...my roommates and I got almost our entire security deposit back. I hope this info will help some of you (renters especially) as you consider renting from owners that have Violet Crown Realty as their property managers.

Once we were ready to stage, her team got in quickly, and she sent me some photos on the same day as a sneak peek to the work that was completed. We got multiple offers in the first weekend and wound up selling the home for above list price, and I firmly believe the presentation of the house, both in photos and in person, added value in the eyes of all of the buyers that looked at it. Every part of the process was smooth and easy, and with the busy life of a realtor, you can't ask for much more! Thanks Holly!!

Please read Platform Staging's contract closely before signing…read more Our agent brought the two people who run Platform Staging to our home to discuss staging. While doing the walkthrough they verbally agreed to some things we requested indicating that those items would be not problem. Once we received the estimate we were also asked to make a deposit and sign a contract. The contract did not include any of the things they verbally agreed to. If we signed the contract we would have been in violation of their terms making us liable for fees they would assess as outlined in the contract. Also note that if you need to change the date of the staging their contract states there is a $500.00 fee. There are other demands made in their contract that result in fees being assessed. The contract we were given also included a date several months before the initial contact with this company as the date of the contract. This is a lack of attention to detail that raised a flag as a prospective customer. After reading the contract several times and considering the random date, the omission of items they verbally agreed to and the fees they wanted to charge for not meeting their demands we felt Platform Staging was a not a very good company to trust with staging our home. I am glad we did not hire Platform Staging as our time line has changed due to something out of our control. We would be paying them an additional $500.00 just to reschedule the staging although that change would have been made several weeks before the original date. If you are considering this company make sure you can accept the terms of their contract which if full of mistakes, omissions and fees and penalties for not meeting their demands.

They gave us a thorough and super helpful list of to-dos to accomplish prior to them bringing in their staging items. They also gave us a thoughtful decor plan for the house and made sure we were comfortable with everything they chose for our home. They even made custom artwork based on the house. Made us want to move back in! We had multiple offers on our house within a week and we are confident that Platform's excellent staging work was a big reason why. We loved working with Platform Staging and would not hesitate to use them again.
