Carol Strickland and her son Mark Strickland were so wonderful to work with and guided me through the listing process tirelessly. They really went above and beyond in every aspect - from what was necessary to fix and update my home - to the extensive advertising. Carol and Mark know their craft, understand the selling market and were willing to go all in to produce my best home. I recommend them highly to anyone needing the BEST agent – Carol and Mark, THANK you!


We have been working with Carol and Mark Strickland for over 20 years. The most recent experience involved the listing and sale of our Mother's home shortly after she passed away. There were many moving parts with the sale, including filing an insurance claim to replace the roof. Carol and Mark provided exceptional service throughout the entire process. Their knowledge, professionalism, and incredible support throughout the process proved once again why they are consistently elite realtors in their field. I highly recommend Carol and Mark's Realtor services.


We have nothing but good things to say about Mark Strickland. Partnering with his mother, he assisted us in every aspect of the sale of our home of 47 years. Mark was always available to give us advice and help us with issues that came up as we prepared our house for the market. He even helped with some of the chores of making our home more presentable before the open house days. We had complete trust in him as we made decisions on issues for which we had no experience or knowledge. Carol and Mark were recommended to us by a friend who had worked with them in the past and we will also be recommending them to our friends when they need realtor expertise.


We are indebted to Carol and Mark for the quick sale of our home. They were always available from our first meeting, when the selling process and our roles were discussed, to the closing. After the recommended touch-ups were completed, Carol and her team used our furniture and accessories to stage our home. Next, our home was beautifully photographed and a write-up describing the charms of our neighborhood and our home was prepared – ready for Carol and Mark to promote with their vast network of contacts. To our delight, the package of expertise and hard work provided by Carol and Mark generated an incredible amount of interest. It delivered a sale within a week of the listing. We highly recommend them.


Mark and Carol Strickland were very diligent and responsive in supporting the sale of our home. Spring 2023 was an unusually chaotic time in the Austin real estate market, and Mark and Carol were honest about uncertainty and very communicative. It was clear they respected us as clients and had our best interests at heart.


I just wanted to thank both you and Carol Strickland for taking such good care of me through the process of selling my dad's home. You were great to work with, and I've really enjoyed getting to know you. Many thanks.


I want to thank you for all of your time and effort in helping get us into our new home! As first time home buyers it can be incredibly daunting, but with you guiding us we felt truly supported. Thanks to you, we are now the proud owners of the perfect home in a beautiful neighborhood. You really took us through the process step by step and made sure we were comfortable and understood everything. It was amazing to see everything come together, and we are so very thankful for your guidance, dedication and support. We couldn't have done this without you guys!


Dear Mark, We are so grateful for your guidance, expertise and the time you put into our home search. Buying this house is a major step up for us in terms of our quality of life and our finances. We feel incredibly lucky that you made this process so smooth for us. Thank you so much!


Hands-on, attentive, and supportive in a very difficult market for buyers - Mark and Carol made purchasing our new home a great experience. They joined us on many last-minute house showings, gave expert advice during the highly competitive bidding process, and supported our family after the inspection with contractor recommendations. Thanks to their efforts, we got our dream house.


Thank you Mark and Carol for helping us find a perfect place to call home. We love it! I know it wasn't easy, but we truly appreciate you both for sticking with us.


I found Mark and Carol to be totally professional, doing what they said they would do when they said they would do it. They assisted in giving me advice on how to best stage the house, resulting in multiple showings and a firm contract in 48 hours with several offers. Their marketing and brochure were outstanding. I told a friend recently that I could not find one thing to do differently in the whole transaction.


Mark and Carol were super patient and informative as we tried to navigate a changing housing market. With their help and expertise, we narrowed our focus areas and were continually updated on market trends and potential new options on the market. When we found a house outside the areas we had been looking in, Mark and Carol made the offer process simple and easy, providing us with all the relevant info needed to make an accepted offer. We are glad to have had access to two realtors with an unmatched history in Austin during this process.


Well, we sold our house! In a week. For more money than we thought possible. And it was all because of Carol and Mark Strickland's expert advice and experience. From advising us on pricing, what the market was doing and assistance with staging our home. Not to mention the excellent professionally done photographs and the subsequent professional brochures that made our house look its best. I would not hesitate to recommend Carol and Mark to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in Austin.


Annette (my agent) and the whole Bramlett team are fantastic! She gave me spot-on suggestions prior to listing the property, and my house sold so quickly it's a little embarrassing. I highly recommend Annette and the rest of the Bramlett team.


We had an incredible experience working with Michele Edasi. As complications arose, Michele navigated them gracefully. She educated herself on the complexities of our situation, and helped us find creative solutions. We always felt like she was advocating for us, and it always felt honest.


My wife and I moved from the east coast. We met Rachel Pulliam at an open house. We explained that we were about a year away. Rachel stayed in contact giving us market updates and targeted listings. When we decided it was time Rachael was wonderful to work with. We looked at many existing homes and Rachel was awesome explaining the pro's and cons of each property. After not finding what we wanted in existing construction Rachel mentioned we needed a new build because we were so critical of the existing properties.
Rachel found a beautiful new neighborhood which we really loved. She did a great job through negotiation to close dealing with the builder and title company. I highly recommend Rachel for her knowledge of the market and negotiating skills.


Lisa Roberts went above and beyond to help us sell our house that we had lovingly lived in for 15 years. She staged the home beautifully and was so professional throughout the whole process. I couldn’t believe how beautiful she made every room. She advised us on possible upgrades to make the house more desirable and gave us step by step instructions for every space. It wasn’t surprising that our home was only on the market for one day when we received multiple offers. We sold our home at listing price and were so happy with the outcome. We felt like we were Lisa’s number one priority. Not only was she completely effective in helping us reach our goals but she was also such an incredible friend throughout the process. I will forever be grateful for how seamless the selling process was, thanks to our lifelong friend Lisa Roberts.


We were able to use Lisa as our listing agent and buyer's agent and had a wonderful experience on both sides of the real estate coin! As a listing agent, Lisa is very knowledgable about the Austin buyer. She was resourceful in helping us stage our home as we identified how to use our current furniture. We never felt pressured to make changes but she suggested thoughtful low cost, high impact changes that really paid off! To be able to have a house listed in 2025 that received an offer after 1 week is an accomplishment! As a buyer's agent, Lisa was always available and knew when we could wait on a house or when we needed to jump on it. She kept the negotiation process stress-free for us but totally went to bat on our behalf. She had a great list of inspectors and other tradesmen in the Austin area for us to utilize. Lisa would point out the good things about the houses we were looking for in each price point - we never felt pushed to go over our budget. I almost wish we were ready to buy a new house so we could work with her again!


As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I were completely new to the process, but Lisa made it an incredible experience. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and guided us with thoughtful questions we wouldn’t have even considered asking. We decided to go with a new build, and Lisa was there for us every step of the way. She attended walk-throughs, asked detailed questions on our behalf, and ensured we felt confident in every decision. To top it all off, she left us the most thoughtful gift after closing on our home—a truly memorable touch. Lisa was incredibly kind, easy to work with, and always reachable whenever we needed her. Without a doubt, we would work with Lisa again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring real estate agent!


Lisa is a fantastic agent! She helped us prepare to sell our first home, which in and of itself can be a daunting endeavor, and she helped us find and purchase a new home. Lisa was always just a call or text away to answer our questions and keep us up to date on all the twists and turns that come along with the process of buying and selling. Lisa is passionate about real estate and has her finger on the pulse of the Austin market. We can’t thank her enough for all the time and effort she gave to help us in this uncertain market.


Lisa is the best! She was very professional, but still very friendly and caring. She helped my wife and I buy our new home and we are so happy about all of it.


Lisa went above and beyond for us as clients. She knew her stuff! She was thorough, encouraging, advocated for our needs when negotiating, and very easy to communicate with on our many questions and ups and downs. We ended up with several offers, taking a full price cash offer for our home. It was a huge endeavor to sell and move and Lisa was absolutely the right choice to advise and guide us along.


Lisa was very helpful in finding our new home. We moved from out of state and she spend a good amount of time showing us around the area and helping us become familiar with the different neighborhoods. She helped me feel better prepared to buy a house in an area that would be good for my family.


Lisa was by far the best real-estate agent I have worked with over several home searches in multiple states. She was incredibly attentive to our interests, worked hard to learn about our preferences, anticipated our needs, and then tirelessly pursued properties that would work for us. She did all of this in an incredibly tight market for home buyers when Austin properties were at an all-time premium. We were not in Austin when we purchased the home and could only travel to Austin infrequently, but Lisa visited many properties on our behalf and sent us detailed videos and her description and assessment of each one. She seemed to understand our needs better even than we did and ultimately helped us locate and purchase a great home for us. We got an excellent price on the home thanks to her and even got the price reduced after she negotiated with the sellers over a few minor items came up during the inspection. She guided us through each step of the complicated process, and she did it all with an incredibly helpful, pleasant, and positive personal style. We couldn't be happier with our experience. If you are looking for a real-estate professional in Austin, you cannot do better than Lisa Roberts.


Lisa was amazing. We are first time home buyers , buying remotely and she made the process so easy. She was willing to drive out to our house regularly even though she lives on the other side of town. Can't recommend enough


Lisa is a wonderful person and fantastic agent! She patiently guided us through every step of selling our home, personalizing her expertise to fit our particular needs. Lisa is a true professional who goes above and beyond - she helped make the entire process as easy and stress-free as possible. We highly recommend Lisa and would most definitely have her represent us again!


Lisa was beyond helpful and made me feel comfortable with her knowledge while searching for a home. I went into the search thinking I would end up with a preowned home that would need work but thanks to Lisa and her many hours of patients, my family ended up finding a brand new home under our budget and with all the bells a whistles I thought were only possible in my dreams. She made me feel confident that I could have the home of my dreams and staying within my budget. She wasn’t pushy to get me into a pricier home. She was wonderful! Best first time home buying experience ever! I wish everyone could use Lisa!


Lisa Roberts embodies professionalism with a very personal touch. She was tireless in her efforts to find us home options that met our communicated parameters. She was always well-prepared with relevant information ensuring that we could make an informed decision. Lisa was also very patient with us as we considered our options on homes. Tireless, well-prepared, and patient, Lisa was amazing. Add to this the fact that she demonstrated real personal interest in us and our business, Lisa Roberts really is a premier Realtor. She has our highest endorsement and recommendation.


You can’t go wrong with Lisa Roberts! We had been with our previous realtor for almost a year and we had missed out on a few homes that we wanted to put offers on. Unsatisfied, we switched to Lisa and it was the best decision! We had been working with her for about a month when we found a starter home we absolutely loved! With her help, we were able to beat out two other offers on our home. She always made time for us (even when out of the country on vacation), she was very thorough and helped explain every single step and answered every question we had (we had a ton!). We had heard it was tricky when using a VA loan, but with Lisa it was a smooth process for us. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.


We had a great experience with Lisa Roberts! As first-time home buyers, she was very good to walk us through the process and answer all our questions. She was thorough, professional, communicative, and followed through on everything. Very happy with the great service we received!


Lisa was great! She diligently searched within our narrow parameters to find a place that we liked. She met with us way more than should be expected, and when showing us options that we hadn't considered, was immediately ready to advocate for us as necessary. Would highly recommend her!


Stephanie was truly incredible to work with. Since I was out of town for most of the process, she went above and beyond—taking me to see a wide range of options across different Austin neighborhoods, sending detailed videos for places I couldn’t visit in person, and helping me really understand the pros and cons of each area. She was also a fantastic advocate during negotiations and helped us secure a great rental, including getting a washer, dryer, and refrigerator included in the rent, which made a huge difference. Throughout the entire process, Stephanie was responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home


I had a great experience with Philip Myers. He helped with the sale of our duplex investment property in Austin. Philip went far above and beyond the normal role to support us as out-of-town owners. He coordinated all the aspects of the required repairs, inspections, etc. and made the entire process seamless. We were delighted to get a quick offer, above asking price, and close this month! I look forward to working with Philip and his team again in the future!


We are so grateful to Simon Vand for being an amazing realtor with us! Simon took the time to truly understand our needs when we were first looking for a duplex. He helped minimize the search for us, focusing on specific options. Although that path didn't work out, thanks to Simon, instead of renewing our apartment lease, he led us to an amazing, beautiful house and we made an offer the same day! We can't thank him enough for his help, patience, and knowledge. He always took the time to answer every single question. If anyone is looking for a realtor who is honest, detailed, and won't just let you buy any property, Simon Vand is the guy to go to!


Brandi Adkins is an AMAZING Realtor!!! I have worked with her on 3 different transactions. She has helped my family buy 2 houses and sold one home. Brandi will do anything to help you throughout the process and go above and beyond. I referred my parents to her recently and my parents were amazed by her knowledge! I would highly recommend her to everyone!!! Thank you for being such a great realtor Brandi!!!


Brandi Adkins made buying our condo fun and low stress ! She was patient and listened and very supportive when I had last minute doubts! No pressure at any time. She wanted to make sure everything was going to my comfort ! Great experience! We love our place and highly recommend Brandi and her team!!


Brandi knows her stuff and she's very friendly. I've never thought I would feel this comfortable buying and selling a house. Brandi and her team were extremely responsive and knew how to help me get through some of the harder steps involved in buying/selling a home with ease. I would recommend Brandi to anyone looking into buying/selling a home. She felt like family the whole time she helped me and my wife from day 1 through the end of both processes (buying then selling).
She was able to lock in an awesome buying price for the dream house my wife and me wanted. She even got our offer accepted within 3 days from us taking our first tour of the house. Then, she was able to find a buyer for our original house within a week from listing it. She's AMAZING!


Brandi is an outstanding realtor!!! She has a great personality and makes everything so seamless and smooth!! I have purchased 2 homes and listed 1 with Brandi and will always call her if I need anything in the future! Choosing a house is hard, but choosing Brandi as your realtor is the easiest choice you will ever make!


Brandi Adkins is amazing. She understands real estate inside and out. Perhaps even more important for my husband and I, she understands how difficult the process is for her clients. Brandi was frank and upfront going so far as to say- "it's a beautiful house but it doesn't have what you told me you wanted. Are you going to be happy with this one in 6 months?" She was right. She understands all of the social and emotional things that go into where we live based on schools, access to things that matter, distance from work, etc. I would recommend her to anyone.
Brandi is fantastic.


Brandi is the most compassionate, dedicated, informative, tenacious person I am blessed to have had as my realtor. She walked me through the process of homeownership and ensured I was knowledgeable of my options. You cannot go wrong with someone who loves what they do and who cares about people.


I highly recommend Brandi Adkins. She’s a professional agent who quickly identified the type of home I am looking for and focused the searches. She also knows the inventory well and could identify similar homes that I might consider. When it was time to bid, she moved quickly and helped guide me in the process. More importantly, Brandi is super friendly and kind. She always treated me like family


Brandi Adkins is more than just a realtor. She goes above and beyond to make sure that the whole homebuying experience goes as smoothly as possible. She takes time to really listen to what your needs and wants are, as well as sticking to the budget you might have. She follows up regularly and is committed to keeping her word. I've only worked with Brandi for both home purchases and I can honestly say she is the only realtor I will look to.


I love Brandi for a million reasons because she is amazing to work with when buying and selling homes. Her first class service blew us away and when we are ready to buy or sell again you better believe she will be our agent!!


The absolute best agent we have ever worked with. Very honest and definitely gives her all to make the process of buying or selling a house as stress less as possible.


I thought my first experience with buying a home was going to be much more stressful than it was and its all thanks to Brandi and her team at Adkins Real Estate Group. Brandi was attentive to my needs, professional, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. If you are new to the area and buying a home or have been in the Austin area for years and are looking to upgrade I highly recommend contacting Brandi Adkins.
