First Time Home Buyer

I don't think I could overstate how pleased my husband and I were with our realtor Crystal Hirst. We were moving to a brand new state and were first time homebuyers with varying ideas about what we might want from our first home. Crystal was able to see through the "noise" and presented great options for us. She viewed homes for us before we even made it to TX (she takes really great video tours or will video chat while there). This allowed us to minimize our time in temporary housing when we arrived. She made suggestions about areas that might suit our needs; was patient as we asked a number of questions about the process; and her thoroughness in reading sellers disclosures helped us avoid buying a property that had potential eminent domain issues. The house buying experience was truly a bright spot in our move and we have Crystal to thank for making it go so smoothly!

This is my second time now using Corrine Elgin (a realtor with this group), once for a lease, and once to purchase a brand new home! Corrine is kind, smart, listens to her clients wants, and does all of it without any judgement. As a first time home buyer, she made it easy to navigate and answered even questions which shouldn’t really fall to a realtor. She was an advocate with our builder and worked with us for MONTHS to make sure we were happy! We got so close my fiance even invited her when he proposed to me in the house we just bought! I recommend her to EVERYONE, you won’t be disappointed.

Corrine Elgin helped me with my first home purchase at probably one of the worst times to be a buyer in Austin. She was fantastic!! She first set up a call to go over my wants and needs and explain next steps. Then started pulling searches for me. She was very attentive and made notes and actioned on any listings I liked in the portal we worked out of. When I finally found my house, again, she was there every step of the way. Any questions I had, she answered them in a timely manner and even made some great recommendations. I also really appreciated her coming to my closing for support. I want to reiterate I had no idea what I was doing throughout this entire process and Corrine did an amazing job guiding me. In summary, Corrine and I know my situation was a bit unique and we both won’t forget it anytime soon 😂 but I truly appreciate all her hard work and would recommend her to anyone looking to invest in property!

We worked with Crystal Hirst and she did an amazing job. She went above and beyond to make sure that we found the right property for us. Our search initially was all over the place and we didn’t even know what kind of property we wanted. Nonetheless, Crystal was incredibly helpful and patient while working with us to find our home. Crystal would point out all the pros and cons for any place that we would consider and we felt we could trust her. As first-time homebuyers we felt this was important because we did not know what red flags to look for in a property. Additionally, she was communicative and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. We were very satisfied with Crystal and would recommend her to anyone with no reservations whatsoever.

Lynn Wise helped us with our recent home purchase and we were really happy to work with her. She was responsive and knowledgeable about house features and neighborhoods, which helped a lot as we searched. It was my first home purchase and she was fantastic at answering questions and walking us through the process so that we felt confident about our decisions. She was a huge asset during negotiations with the seller and throughout closing. Highly recommend her for any real estate needs!

It was wonderful to work with Molly Parks in purchasing my first home and an investment property. She made the process smooth and easy (or at least as smooth and easy as home purchasing can be). She was very responsive and accommodating of my schedule and was able to arrange showings at all times of the day.

With Molly's help and guidance, I was able to see a home, make an offer, and have it accepted all in the same day. Additionally, she was even able to negotiate the price down a little bit on both properties to get them below asking, which is no easy task in the competitive Austin real-estate market. Additionally, she helped me get my leases set up for the investment property and provided valuable advice related to management of the property after the completion of the purchase.

I can't say enough good things about working with Molly. She is clearly a knowledgeable and responsive professional who has the best interests of her clients in mind. While being professional, she is also relaxed and upbeat and creates a no pressure environment with her clients.

I will absolutely be working with Molly for any of my future home or investment property purchases!

We just moved to Austin and purchased our first home. Lynn Wise was very helpful throughout the process. She helped us start our search before we even moved, and she was ready to start showing us houses as soon as we arrived in Austin. She made the process go smoothly and was always on top of things and available even during an ice storm when she lost power for a few days! Thanks Lynn and Bramlett Partners!

After renting in Austin since 2012, Corrine Elgin turned me into an Austin homeowner! This wasn't easy, as I picked the most challenging period in recent history to be a homebuyer. Also given the parameters that I didn't want to move to the outskirts of town to be far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Corrine spent many hours each day gathering houses to consider, creating a list to visit, and driving me to probably close to 30 houses over roughly a month. We made offers on five houses that I recall, as Corrine guided me through that challenging process. And while I was approaching the point of giving up, Corrine refused to do the same -- so thankful, as it resulted in the offer on the 5th house being accepted! Every step of the way she made me feel confident enough to keep battling and it paid off. I couldn't have done it without her.

Julie is very knowledgeable and she went out of her way to ensure that we, as first time home buyers, understood every part of the process. She took time out to patiently explain every section of the contract and sale deed to us so we know what we are getting into!

Working with Elizabeth Michael on the purchase of my first home was awesome. She was there to answer my questions every step of the way, and made me feel at ease during the process. After searching for a bit and getting clarity on what I was looking for, I found a great home that I knew was for me. Elizabeth helped me put together a strong offer that the sellers accepted the very next day. That's a hard thing to accomplish in the Austin housing market. I will absolutely be giving her a call when I'm ready to buy my next home!
