Realty Austin

Cara is the most exceptional realtor you can find—anywhere. Finding a trustworthy realtor in Austin from PA could’ve been a disaster, but we found the gem of all gems! Not only is Cara’s knowledge about the market and the process unmatched, but her impeccable service and reliability was what we appreciated the most during the purchase of our home. We told Cara over and over that we were sure that we weren’t her only clients, but we always felt as if we were! Never a question went unanswered or a moment passed that we couldn’t contact Cara; our needs were consistently fulfilled, and our expectations were surpassed. Cara would even tell you that we had unforeseen obstacles; but, even when we didn’t know there were questions, Cara and Joe provided the answers.\r \r We also found the Realty Austin site far superior to others in its ability to provide detailed, current information. It allowed us to search and save homes, which also made the long-distance relocation extraordinarily easier. We are happy to say that Cara and Joe have become our friends—they are truly in a class of their own! We will definitely refer them to others and look forward to opportunities to work with them again. more

Hello,\r \r I would like to share with you guys my wonderful home-buying experience. Jackie contacted me after i requested a relator from yalls website. From the get-go, she was very nice and very thorough in listening to exactly what i was looking for. Jackie was very knowledgeable, and because I was a first time home buyer, she went the extra mile to make sure that I understood all of the aspects of looking for and buying a house.\r \r As we began searching, Jackie was very flexible, always promptly returning my emails/texts/calls. Because I have a very tight work schedule, Jackie would meet me during my lunch time to look at houses, which i thought was going the extra mile, because most relators/customers wait until there are several houses they want to look at and spend the whole day viewing.\r \r Jackie did a great job of negotiating for me, getting the seller to pay the closing costs, and getting them to give me the refrigerator that matched the other kitchen appliances. Whenever the inspection caught an expansion joint that was not properly mortared, Jackie researched the issue, talking to builders and giving me good advice on it.\r \r Jackie did a great job handling everything that happened during the home buying experience, and even when nothing was happening, she would call to check in to make sure that I knew everything was going alright and to see if I had any questions. \r \r I could not have had a better home buying experience and will give Jackie my highest recommendation to friends and family members.\r \r Thanks,\r Jake more

My wife and I had the pleasure of using Aaron Nann's services when we sold our last house and bought a new house. The thought of buying a house in the current Austin real-estate climate was a little overwhelming but Aaron made the process as painless as possible. Right now, you have to make decisions and move quickly when you find a house you like. Aaron moved quickly when needed, was always responsive, and gave us great guidance throughout the entire process. \r \r It's hard for me to imagine another realtor being able to help us navigate the buying and selling process as well as Aaron did.\r \r Aaron is a great realtor! more

Sumina Bhatti is amazing! She helped me sell my house for about 10% more than I was initially expecting, and I credit her with most of that difference! She made a few suggestions that I was skeptical about at first (such as hiring a professional stager), but the results blew me away. Sumina helped me make exactly the right decisions about getting the most bang for the buck with make-ready -- I would have been totally lost without her!\r \r She was extremely professional and organized and always on top of things. I moved out of state and she still made the process incredibly smooth with electronic documents, giving me plenty of notice and keeping me updated through the process, and going above the call of duty to coordinate contractors.\r \r She is also well networked, and everyone else involved (title lawyer, etc.) was also easy to deal with. She gave excellent advice, but also did a great job of asking around when there was any uncertainty and addressing all of my concerns. Having never sold a house before, I had tons of questions, and she walked me through all of them.\r \r I cannot recommend Sumina Bhatti enough, and if you're lucky, you may also get a great friend out of the deal. :) more

I started looking for a property in Austin 3 months ago. I contacted a few agents and came across Jeff Pierce early in the process. He was extremely responsive and took time out of his busy schedule to promptly reply to emails and maintain communication. \r \r I am from out of town and so it was usually on weekend that Jeff was able to show me properties. He is dedicated and conscientious and we spent long days looking at multiple homes across Austin. Finally having found the perfect place, the purchasing process turned into a bit of a nightmare. The lender and seller were both very slow, disinterested and inflexible. Jeff managed to orchestrate the sale despite all the hurdles and we had a successful closing recently. \r \r I can recommend Jeff as a hard working broker who is responsive, engaged and perhaps most importantly knows the area in which he operates very well. He has contacts and experience that lesser brokers lack. more

Our serendipitous encounter with realtor Jennifer Mehis was auspicious from the start. Jennifer's insightful knowledge of Austin's neighborhood and housing market is matched by her professionalism and dedication in helping us find not just a house but a HOME that spoke to our needs and personalites. Jennifer consistently responded immediately to every call, text and email regardless of the time/day, and provided us with well rounded feedback to all our questions (and we really peppered her with questions!) that positioned us to make the right, informative choices without pressure. With Jennifer you get not only someone for your CURRENT house purchase/selling needs, but also someone who is there for all your FUTURE housing needs as well. House buying can be a stressful and tedious process, but Jennifer made it seem like a walk in the park. Our experience was smooth and stress free from the very beginning to the day we closed on our home. We have highly recommended Jennifer to all our family, friends and acquaintances, and will unequivocally consult her again for our next home sell/purchase. Her knowledge, support and patience are above par. Words cannot adequately convey how impressed, grateful and pleased we are with Jennifer!! more

Winona and Kathy are the best in the business hands down. They are both extremely knowledgable, friendly, hard working, fabulous listeners (they actually remember everything we told them we wanted in a home!) and they absolutely know the ins and outs of Austin real estate. My family has bought two homes with them, both under very different circumstances... \r \r The first home we purchased with Winona was in 2009, and we were pressed for time and needed to find a home in Austin within a few weeks. Winona did all the research before our trip to Austin (we were unfamiliar with Austin at the time) and narrowed our search to about 7 homes that met all our criteria and were more than adequate. One of these homes we absolutely loved, and bought of course and we have loved it ever since. But she didn't just find us the perfect home. Since we were out of town, Winona (and Kathy) handled the closing for us, and even came to our house twice a week to water a dying plant during the drought in over 100 degree weather! What other realtor would do that?? During the inspection, Winona's attention to detail is simply amazing. We have lived in the home for 3 years, and I'm convinced any small flaws in our home she picked out during the inspection and they were fixed by closing.\r \r Our second home purchase with Winona was for our parents who are moving to Austin. They were in no hurry, and they also wanted to find ""the perfect home"" like we did and of course we recommended Winona and Kathy. Since inventory was down in Austin in 2012 and our parents were unwilling to comprimise on any of their desires, it took many home showings and many emails back and forth about prospective homes (almost 6 months of searching) before we finally found our parents the perfect one! Winona emailed almost daily during this time about prospective homes, and she sacrificed many weekends looking over the small Austin inventory with us. She was so patient and kind! My parents are now closing on their dream home thanks to Winona and Kathy!\r \r To sum it up, In my opinion Winona and Kathy give anyone moving to the greater Austin area the best chance of finding their dream home. more

Israel Gutirez was great to work with when buying our home. He went the extra mile to make sure all of our questions were answered no matter how small and took the time to understand and advocate for the needs of our family. With his guidance we were able to get a contract on our house in a few days and buy a home that is perfect for us. We appreciated his calm, straightforward, professional, demeanor and always felt he had our best interests at heart. We definetely recommend Israel any time. Thanks! more

We are living in our dream house thanks to James Deloney. When our banking fell through at the 11th hour, James really went out of his way to save the day for us. We would highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs. more

Talitha Phillips was tireless in helping us find our dream home! Always helping with a pleasant smile and calm attitude, Talitha was able to respond to any curve ball this process threw her. She was knowledgeable, thoughtful, kind and considerate always. Never pushy, she seemed to know exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend her for anyone looking for real estate in Austin, but I feel she specializes in first time home buyers and those looking at unique properties especially on the East Side. Thanks so much again Talitha! more

Danny Gallant was great to work with when selling and buying our home. He went the extra mile to make sure all of our questions were answered no matter how small and took the time to understand and advocate for the needs of our family. With his guidance we were able to get a contract on our house in 8 days and buy a home that is perfect for us. We appreciated his calm, straightforward, professional, demeanor and always felt he had our best interests at heart. When we signed the papers on our new house our kids said they were excited but they would miss looking at houses with Danny because it was so much fun. We have been reccomending him to all of our friends. more

Brendan was simply excellent. He went above and beyond when helping us sell our condo. He was always professional and helpful. We felt like we had a friend working hard for us. We would not hesitate to use Brendan again. more

Brandi McDaniel was wonderfully patient with this first-time homebuyer with a limited budget who also had family members with very definite opinions. She was always available for questions and did an excellent job with showing me all my options in my budget. I would recommend her 100%! more

We worked with Sari Pearce and she was AWESOME! Really. She worked very hard for us and did everything that was to be done, yesterday. We moved from Massachusetts and while we were there she used to send photos of houses, look at every little detail, answer our questions...everything. We had a lot of confidence in her and a lot of support. It made our transition that much smoother and knew we had a friend we could rely on. more

We are loving our new home in Lakeway! We would have been so lost with our realtor, Evonne Gottsch. She went above and beyond the call of duty with a smile on her face. I'll be referring her to everyone I know for years! 110% Satisfied. more

Ritch Haenke is the best realtor in Austin! He worked with us for several months before we found the right place. He's so kind, always smiling and extremely knowledgeable about the market! more

Michael & Stacy Spickes are the best realty team! We could not have asked for better realtors. Michael & Stacy definitely went the extra mile to help us find a location & builder for our dream custom home. We would definitely use their services again, and we highly recommend them. more

Winona ~ Experience you can trust! Winona Barron just helped us purchase our new home, and she was absolutely fabulous! When I walked in to view the home, I felt like I had another pair of eyes who understood my priorities, preferences, and plans, yet was more knowledgeable and experienced in what to look for in a prospective home. I was completely comfortable with her assessment. We were in a multiple offer situation, and I am positive Winona's quick actions and professional communications helped us win the home. Winona made the whole process smooth and easy - and made me feel as if we were her only clients (even though I know we weren't). She truly felt like an advocate for us, not just an agent completing a process. Thanks Winona! more

Laura 'Ole' Olesen is awesome! I'm pretty sure when selling our condo we encountered just about every crazy realty home selling situation you can imagine. From international buyers, multiple offer situations, to our condo flooding just a few days before the closing date... Ole was able to make it all smooth and made all the right calls. She was able to get us way more than what we thought we were going to get as well. Thanks again Ole!! We highly recommend her! more

I am highly satisfied with Rosalia Chiu?s performance. When I first found her information via the Internet, I sent her an email to ask some general information. She not only responded quickly via email but she immediately called me and introduced herself. She is quick to respond and is knowledgeable, honest and fair -- no false promises from her. She takes the time to explain things (market values/analysis) and keeps me updated on a weekly basis. She did exactly what needed to be done to market and sale the house. She knows the market, she crunches numbers for me, and she knows how to stage the home. She is not afraid to tell me what needed to be done under the circumstances. She also uses every channel of her network to get my home out there and to get buyers to the house. She definitely gets results! She is hard-working and is certainly a valuable asset to any company. more
