Tory is very informed, experienced, and easy to work with. He is a good feel for the market and will always fight for your best interest.

Tory is absolutely amazing!! I think what impresses me the most is he completely listens to his clients and he actually gets "it". He does not waste your time showing properties, because he has an agenda or thinks he knows better than what his clients want or need. If I had to describe him in 5 words I would say...responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, passionate and professional. So far I have purchased 2 homes using Tory Ketter and the transactions could not have been any easier. He makes home buying what it should be...exciting and stress free. Last October, I worked with Tory for the first time to purchase a home for my parents. I was not shy about giving him a wish list that was very detailed and bit out of reach. Tory accepted the challenge and ended up finding a home that exceeded our expectations. My parents were moving from out of state and did not even get to see the home in person until it was purchased. Tory took me to look at 5 homes. All of them in line with our desires, but of course one of them was PERFECT!! The second time I worked with Tory was to purchase an investment property. He once again proved he listens, understands and gets "it". He took me to see 1 home and it was "the one". I made him show me another one because I didn't believe that you could possibly purchase a home after only looking at one. I learned my lesson. In fact I have so much trust in Tory, that I would feel comfortable having him pick out a home and buying it without even seeing it. He is that good!!! As far as the rest of the home buying transaction, I have had nothing but good luck with every professional he has introduced me too. Home insurance agent, home inspection, mortgage broker, legal services, handyman, moving services, etc. He surrounds himself with qualified, professional and friendly people. It is such a relief knowing you are in good hands. His has impeccable detail and is extremely organized. I never have to worry about a thing and that is a wonderful feeling. read more

When we chose Tory as our Realtor, he was given two difficult tasks: find a new house for us that would satisfy a wish list a mile long, and sell our condo. Tory was able to listen to every wish that my husband and I (and our dogs) had for our new house and neighborhood, and helped us come up with a short list of houses to look at. Thanks to Tory's encouragement to look at a house that I had passed over when looking online by myself, we found the perfect house for us. Two days later, our offer was accepted, and we were on our way to buying a new house! Tory was with us every step of the way through a closing that our lender made much more difficult than necessary. Next Tory took on the task of selling our old condo, which we had listed with a different agent two times before, for about 6 months each time, with no luck. Barely two months after Tory listed it, we were sitting at the title company with Tory again, signing papers to sell the condo! That condo was an extremely tough sell, in a tough economy, but Tory did it! If you are buying or selling, you need to call Tory! read more

It's not everyday that you get to write your 500th review on Yelp. It's taken me 6 years of "Yelping" to make it this far. After weeks of debate and deliberation on which business deserved my 500th review (it should be an occasion, right?), I decided to review Tory Ketter Real Estate. A little background, I met Tory for the first time recently, however, I have known of Tory for quite awhile. A good friend of mine, Wes S., works with Tory and has known him for a long time. When I learned that my friends, Lyndsey R. and Drew R., were moving to Austin from Indiana, I tapped Wes and asked him who he would recommend for a realtor (before they began working together) and he emphatically recommended Tory as being one of the best realtors in Austin and an all-around good guy. Not only did Tory help Drew and Lyndsey R. find a great rental house in Round Rock, he also found them a new house that they are purchasing in the Teravista neighborhood in Round Rock. Tory puts his clients' needs ahead of his commission. When my friends received an inspection report for a house in Circle C with a handful of expensive problems, Tory dissuaded them from purchasing the house. This is a trait that not all realtors share; I've been in a similar situation with another realtor who insisted on me purchasing a home with $130k+ of problems because they put their commission ahead of their client's needs. I recently reached out to Tory for my own real estate needs. I needed an impartial evaluation of my property sale and rental value. Tory's communication was great from start to finish. He came by the house and reviewed it. Then he went back to his office and pulled comps of similar properties to provide me with a great analysis. Great service from a great realtor who knows the Austin market inside and out! read more

My husband and I were able to buy our very first home in Austin this summer thanks to Tory's professionalism, skills, and dedication to his clients. Tory was is very knowledgeable about the HOT Austin market, very personable and fun to work with, attentive, and responsive to his clients' wants and needs. Even with a couple setbacks beyond the the buyer and buyer agent's control, we were able to stick to our mission of buying the first home we wanted to call our own. We had a very strict timeline (leading up to a two week vacation and needing to close before ending a rental lease) and Tory was able to make it ALL happen. I would recommend Tory to any of my friends, family members, colleagues. etc., and will definately work with him again in the future whether it be buying an investment property or selling. Tory has a wide spectrum of real estate talent. Look no further than this guy! Tory Ketter, is the Go Getter! read more

Tory is the best. I called him at the beginning of the year with a desperate and impossible scenario involving a friend's home. Tory sprang to action, and turned despair into hope. In just a few short months, a horrible situation turned into a blessing in disguise with his and his team's help. The turn around was head spinning fast; from listing to cash in bank for my friend was less than a month. Astonishing. If you need help, you need Tory Ketter. read more

I am so happy in my Austin home! Right place, perfect location couldn't ask for more... I am so thankful to have had Tory and Wes on my side throughout this transaction. They both spent a great deal of time helping me look at properties, and helping my narrow it down to THE ONE for me. I received very personal treatment continually throughout the whole process. Despite the fact that my transaction required quite a bit of additional attention due to the type of property I was purchasing, I was always able to reach them and they were always available to answer and even calm my nerves... I would recomend this team to anyone who is interested in finding a property in town!!! read more

Tory's amazing. That's all there is to it. He goes above and beyond what we expected from a Realtor. Now, we have a beautiful home thanks to Tory! read more

I thought I had written a review about Tory earlier but apparently not. My husband and I just moved into our home that Tory helped us purchase and while I wouldn't say the process was without some bumps along the way Tory was amazing at helping us navigate this uncharted territory. He also referred us to some great people along the way, our mortgage broker and our new insurance agent. Having someone that we could trust and that we got along with well were really important to us and Tory ended up being more than we could ask for. read more

Great ... amazing ... delightful ... Tory is beyond words! He is passionate about his work and even when dealing with an emergency, his listing got us 5 lease applications in less than one week! This made what could have been a worrisome situation breezy & easy. Tory took the time to go over all of our options after fully learning the details of our situation. His website is kettersbetter.com and there is no false advertising going on there; he really is better. If you're looking for a Realtor, visit with Tory! read more

Tory was EXTREMELY helpful as a realtor for us! We were in search of a rental home in the Austin/Round Rock area. We had a list of musts, things like a house that would take our dogs, a garage, a backyard, etc. Tory never made it seem like these things were a pain and instead he worked hard to find us a place that fit our criteria but also seemed like a place we could happily live in for at least a year. We were so pleased with Tory and know that we will use him when we are ready to buy! Thanks Tory!! read more

Tory is amazing! We used Tory to help us find a lease, but we will definitely use him when we are ready to buy our first home. My fiance and I decided to move to Austin from Chicago, but we didn't have the time to fly down to Austin and view any potential leases. Meaning, we would have to sign a lease for a place sight unseen! As scary as that sounds, Tory made the entire process simple. He talked us through the various Austin neighborhoods, found homes that met our specific specifications, answered all of my emails (and I bugged him a lot) and always delivered. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and talked us through the pros and cons of each decision. I've never worked with an agent as awesome as Tory. read more

Tory was super helpful! I had 3 days to find a place before I moved to Austin for a job and after I sent him a never ending list of things I loved and hated he had one day to show me around. I found the perfect place! Not only do I love my new apartment but Tory knowing that I was a foodie gave me a tour of his favorite restaurants. Needless to say I've visited quite a few and so far they all get two thumbs up. I'm super picky and he got the job done in record time, he's just amazing! read more

Tory Ketter is the partner that a first time home buyer needs. He is attentive, responsive and helps you stay grounded in one of the most stressful situations anybody will ever experience. Tory came highly recommended by 3 different co-workers, and they were totally correct- Tory is the bomb. My wife and I were grateful to have Tory on our side and we have a great first property to show for it. Not only that we also feel we have a friend and Realtor for life. read more

Tory is incredibly attentive and thoughtful. He understood exactly what I was looking for in a home and delivered! I recommend all of my friends, and anyone who is looking for a realtor that will go over the top to make buying or selling a home easy. He will undoubtedly take the time to help you make the right decision. read more

Tory did a great job finding a home for my daughter and her two large dogs. He had warned her that the housing market moved quickly, but always was optimistic that he could find her something. She had previously contacted several other realtors who said she would not be able to find a rental house since she had 2 Great Danes, but when I contacted Tory he said that some rental companies would not rent to her, but we would take it one property at a time. When she found a house that she wanted to rent, he was very organized and made sure her application stressed the good points of renting to her. There were multiple applications turned in for this property and her application was accepted over the rest. If you need help finding a place in Austin I highly recommend Tory. read more

Tory Ketter came highly recommended by a friend. He will now be our Realtor For Life! He did an incredible incredible job for us. Never felt in such good hands - we got tons of guidance which we really needed. He sold our house for us within a week of listing for the highest price ever paid for a house in this subdivision. On to the next adventure with Tory. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

Let me tell you a little something about Tory Ketter! He is absolutely AMAZING!!! I was sooo skeptical about our house being sold, I just knew it wouldn't sell. Tory was always positive about everything!! He definitely kept my worries aside! And sure enough, we put our house on the market and 16 days later it had an offer on it!!! Then when looking for our next house, he took everything that we wanted in a house and helped us find EXACTLY what we were looking for and he ended up finding us the house of our dreams!! Tory knows everyone and everyone says wonderful things about him! I ended up finding out he helped a friend of mine at work get their house as well! I just can't stop thinking about all the wonderful things he did for us. And he and I had a great fun time looking for houses too :) I'm definitely letting everyone know about Tory and how he can help them find their dream house! LOVE YOU TORY!!! The Bakers :) read more

Tory was amazing. In a down economy, Tory was able to sell my home in 6 days! Let me repeat, 6 days! Then Tory was able to find my partner, our children, and I an amazing home. Tory worked out a deal with the seller and we got lots of extras for nothing! If you want a realtor that works for YOU, talk to Tory. read more

This review is written about a realtor whom I have actually yet to meet in person. I've had the great pleasure of connecting with Tory through a referral once I needed to place my condo on the market for sale. As a first time (remote) home seller I was facing anxieties about the entire process especially after receiving feedback about my condo's area and previous sales. Tory's optimism and professionalism was apparent from day one. Through an initial phone conversation I was able to get all my concerns addressed and felt very comfortable about the entire process. While still having my tenant in the condo, Tory was able to work with him to expedite the process efficiently. Tory was very honest and provided great feedback. With the need to sell the condo as quickly as possible I relied on Tory's advise and expertise. Tory provided realistic improvement recommendations while also providing professional contractors to complete these tasks. Being remote and almost 800 miles away I relied heavily on Tory's feedback and supervision which was frequent and consistent. His staging and knowledge of the marketplace provided the platform for us getting an offer (above asking price) within 5 days and then a second offer followed shortly thereafter. While the process seemed rapid, seamless and painless we began experiencing some hurdles and speed bumps. However, these speed bumps didn't slow Tory and he seemed to always have alternate solutions. Eventually the condo sold quicker and under better conditions that I expected (while also exceeding market conditions). As a first time home seller Tory provided me all the reassurances and instilled a very high level of confidence in the process. I am doubtful that anyone would have been able to sell this condo any better than Tory Ketter. We are still working through some of those sale "speed bumps" and "unexpected surprises" that are by no means a reflection of the realtor and I know that Tory has it all under control. The realtor fees were well earned and all is left to say is thank you. read more
