Kathryn Strand helped me in summer of 2021 to find my first home. She is very professional and easy to talk to, which was very comforting during such a stressful time to buy a home. I appreciated how honest she was with me and led me in the right direction when deciding on houses. She is extremely trustworthy to do business with. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks again, Kathryn!


Thank you to our wonderful realtor, Patrick, on his unwavering help with finding our dream home! My fiancé and I were in the market for our first home and had tons of questions, wants, needs - you name it. Patrick did everything he could to help us find exactly what we wanted. He was patient, kind, and super flexible. He turned what is normally a very stressful experience to a very seamless one. We can’t thank him enough. If you’re ever in the market for a home, Patrick is your guy! We can’t recommend him enough. :)


Linda Baddour is phenomenal! She was recommended to us by friends and I am 1000% happy that we have her as our real estate agent. We are first time home owners and she helped answer all our questions and gave us great advice throughout the entire process. She goes above and beyond and really spends the time to help you find the perfect house. We only had a small window of time to go house viewing and she was able to schedule 20 viewings in a day!! She ultimately found us our perfect home and I couldn't be more thankful to her. Overall, she is incredibly professional, responsive, and caring agent and I would highly recommend her.


Lauren was incredible to work with! This was our first time buying a home and the market was crazy/overwhelming. Lauren helped us at each step and made the process as easy as possible. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She fought with us and for us when our builder was moving slower than they should. She was patient and kind to us when we asked her a million questions. If you are looking for a realtor, I highly recommend Lauren! I honestly don't believe that you can find anyone better!


We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Yolanda. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. We met with a couple of realtors before Yolanda, but we knew instantly that she was the one for us. She is honest and she really helped to take the pressure off of us. In short, she was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible.


My Fiancé and I have been in our house for 3 months now and we couldn’t be happier! Yolanda was amazing to work with throughout the entire house hunting and buying process. She was available anytime we needed her whether that be scheduling last minute home showings, answering questions or communicating with our construction team! As first time homebuyers, Yolanda was a dream to work with and helped us understand everything throughout the entire process, even past closing! We would highly recommend anyone to use Yolanda as your realtor! We couldn’t have done it without her!


It's been two weeks since I moved into my very first home and I have Yolanda to thank for that. She was always available to answer the MANY questions I had throughout the process, she really listened to what I needed, and she helped me find the perfect home for me. I'm so grateful for her patience and amazing attitude at every step of the way. Yolanda truly goes above and beyond for her clients.


Yolanda helped me find my first home. It was a very overwhelming process for me especially in this market but she was with me every step of the way! Additionally, she had a great sense of my wants and needs, so much so that one of the neighborhoods she suggested looking is where I ended up buying my place! Very thankful for Yolanda for finding the perfect place for me!


Yolanda is a great realtor 🙌🏻 She helped us find our home in less than a month, we are first time homeowners and she definitely made the process go by super smooth. She was patient with us! She helped us find the lender that we needed, & helped us with every single question that we had. Thank you so much Yolanda, we’ll definitely recommend you to our friends.


Eric was instrumental in helping me purchase my first home. Eric is not only a responsive, informative, and knowledgeable agent - he is also a very patient and kind person. I never felt rushed, and I could at all times tell that Eric was first and foremost concerned with finding me the right home - which he did. Eric helped me navigate a difficult listing agent, an unprecedented market, and a lot of firsts. I couldn't be more grateful to him. Thank you, Eric!!


Becky is just awesome. She helped us find the best suited house for my family needs. Not only finding the house, as a first time buyer, she helped us to guide and mentor during each & every step till closing and after that. She is extremely awesome for following things until those are done in the way, it should be. No matter what time, she was always available. Becky is very committed to her customers. It was really a very nice learning experience, and never had such a smooth closing without Becky's help. Once again, thank you so much, Becky. Will always recommend your name to all my friends and family members.


There aren't enough positive adjectives for me to describe Lindsey's working style. If I HAD to pick 5 I'd say she is Knowledgeable, Thorough, Clear, Dependable and Patient. She sold me my first ever property last spring and made sure to address every question I had, never making me feel silly for asking it, or not knowing. A little over a year later, when my work took me from Austin to NYC Lindsey made the process of identifying a tenant seamless. In fact, I left for NYC almost immediately, and Lindsey took care of everything back in Austin. Lindsey goes beyond her role as realtor and fiduciary, she empowers everyone she works with educating them with the information they need to make smart choices -- such a pivotal role when you're making the biggest investment of your life -- and your literal livelihood is on the line. As a result of our time working together, I trust Lindsey implicitly and consider her a friend. Austin is lucky to have her in the real estate world!


Julie helped me find the perfect investment property! Being a first time home-buyer and investor, her knowledge and willingness to wade through my process with me was absolutely priceless. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Austin market
and was always two steps ahead of me in my search. Working with Julie has been a wonderful experience.


Julie is a dream agent!! She made me feel immediately at home when we first moved to Austin! I love that she was able to get us setup in a temporary furnished home and then advise on buying the perfect house! She is incredibly accommodating and patient, which I needed as a first time home buyer! I really appreciated the fact that Julie really listened to what I wanted in a home and that she was able to make it happen for me! Julie made she that we did everything to win our offer and was by my side the entire time to make sure we would nail it! I think it's rare for a first time home buyer to win their first offer, that should speak volumes of Julie's capabilities. I would work with Julie time and time again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!


Gina was AMAZING!!! She looked up listings every day in my search criteria. We went to countless houses looking for the perfect house for me. It was my first home purchase and I didn't have a lot of money for repairs, so I didn't want a fixer upper. When we found the perfect house, Gina took the time to make sure that every step went smoothly and kept me informed through the process. I highly recommend Gina for all your Real Estate needs.


My wife and I had the best experience purchasing our first home with Julie. Julie went above and beyond to find a ton of options that fit our requirements. She also guided us with expertise through the extremely competitive Austin market and managed to secure a home for us on our second offer. Apart from her expertise, Julie is just a stand up person and very nice to work with. Would highly recommend her.


Craig McGuire recently helped me with the purchase of my first home. As a first time homebuyer, I had many questions and concerns, all of which were addressed and answered by Craig. He's extremely knowledgeable and response throughout the whole process. I would recommend him to friends and family and anybody else looking for an agent!


Yolanda was very helpful and supportive during the process of buying our first home. I have recommended her to family and friends. With her guidance and expertise we were able to purchase the home of our dreams.


It was an absolute pleasure working with Jeremy when my wife and I purchased our first home!. As we were new to Austin, we were looking for a realtor who could not only help us find a home but also help us in gaining insights into the area/school district. Jeremy was always availabe since day 1 for all the questions we have. I like the fact he took time to understand us and what we were looking for. Jeremey was available throughout the process starting from visiting more than 10 builders a day, to looking at resale homes, providing insights of the current market. Best part, He’s local to Austin so you’re going to learn so much about real estate in Austin and just the city in general. Thank you so much Jeremy for a positive experience.


Kasey & Kim are simply the best.
My husband & I just closed on our very first home together & Kasey & her assistant Kim were there from the very beginning. Through the highs & lows that this Austin market brought us, they went above & beyond to educate us, encourage us, & even talk us off a ledge or two. Ultimately they found our dream home in a dream neighborhood! We were already so impressed by the team but then Kasey's real talent shined through with negotiations, best practices, & help through the very complicated closing details that come with being a first-time home buyer. Kim spent countless hours making sure that our home was perfect & would come to meet us at the drop of a hat when we needed her.
Kasey & Kim are extremely prompt in responding to calls, emails, & texts - they both went above and beyond to help meet our expectations. We feel very fortunate to have found Kasey & Kim, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for their next home.
