Our Reviews

Jane and Erin were absolutely wonderful during my entire home search. I have a very busy
schedule, and they were always available to go house hunting when I had a second to get out. I jumped around on my location and house preferences multiple times and they stood by my side with every move. They were there to help me with all the questions and concerns I had throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family!

Jane and Erin are amazing! They helped me find a great apartment is precisely the location that I wanted to be in. When it came time to close, they handled all of the paperwork, negotiation, and related matters adeptly, saving me a good amount of money on the margins. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home in Austin.

Jane did a great job. She had use back the entire time. She was very thorough and on top of things. I never met Erin, but could tell she was a strong part of the team.

We started working with Jane and Erin in April of 2012. They have been so patient with our needs, which were, to say, rapidly evolving. We appreciated their time and energy to cart us all over Austin in the hunt for the ideal property. Kudos to their support and leg work as we would quite often give her a list of MLS listings we were interested in viewing en route to properties! Ultimately we found the perfect property, entering them into a harrowing several month experience with a nasty listing agent (and similar seller) from another brokerage. Thank goodness for their perseverance and upbeat attitude to ensure we always were handled with dignity. They were always on top of their game between balance our calls/ texts/ emails in coordination with responses of the opposing broker. We loved working with Jane and Erin and consider them to be a friends whom we will always treasure. You are very lucky to have such a great team representing Realty Austin! Should we ever be in the market again, we would only work with Jane and Erin

We were so lucky to discover Jane and Erin! Back when moving to Austin was just an idea,
they introduced us to town and drove us through different neighborhoods for hours-knowing
we might move to Dallas. After we selected Austin, they listened to what we wanted (and didn't want), knew all the properties and laws, and explained how the market worked. Team Jane and Erin made it their priority to find what we wanted. Having a team was great because one of them was always available to help. Without their guidance, we would have lost out on homes, because, in this market, homes get multiple offers in one day. Yet, we never felt rushed. We highly recommend Jane and Erin and will do business with them in the future. But we'd rather not move away from our new-found friends.

Brian and I think Jane and Erin make a great team. They were totally responsive to our many questions and both fun to work with. We would not hesitate to recommend them to buyers and sellers, and are glad the Realtors in Santa Fe gave us their names. All good wishes!

We couldn't have had a better person to work with. Erin is the epitome of professionalism. She works extremely hard, pays great attention to details and, as an extra has a darling personality. We were lucky ...

We have worked with many agents from many brokerages and found none to be more
knowledgeable, reliable and honest than Erin Rost.

We've worked with David for over eight years. He was our Realtor for our very first home purchase in 2016, and again for our forever-home purchase (and first time selling!) in 2024. Throughout it all, David has been professional, responsive, thorough, and an invaluable advisor in helping us understand market dynamics, strategies for success as both buyer and seller, and various transaction processes. He also maintained endless patience and understanding through our nearly three-year search for the "just right" forever home. We've recommended David to family and friends, and we wouldn't trust anyone else as our Realtor.

I had the privilege of working with David Ivy as my realtor from Realty Austin, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. David’s extensive knowledge, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication made the process of closing on a new construction property a breeze. Right from the start, David impressed me with his thoroughness and expertise. He took the time to understand my goals and provided invaluable recommendations tailored to my needs. His insightful guidance helped me make informed decisions with confidence. What truly set David apart was his commitment to going the extra mile. His detailed notes after walkthroughs were incredibly helpful. Additionally, his constant follow-ups with the builder and all parties involved ensured a seamless transaction. I wholeheartedly recommend David Ivy and Realty Austin. Working with them was an absolute pleasure.

I believe we contacted David shortly before the July 4th weekend. We found a couple of homes to look at, and David made himself available to us that weekend. Over the next few weekends, he showed us homes. He always pulled together info for us prior to viewing the listings. He always answered our texts and emails promptly. Prior to our purchase, he helped us make an offer on a different property on a Sunday afternoon to meet the deadline. Our offer for this home was also done on a Sunday. After the appraisal came back $10,000 less, he was able to lower our offer by that amount. He also took the time to meet me at the house prior to closing to take measurements for flooring. I really appreciate everything!

David Ivy checked all the boxes of things that I look for in an agent: integrity, trustworthiness, and setting and maintaining clear expectations. He truly acted “as my agent”, working in my best interest. Since I live out of state, there were certain aspects that required additional support from David and more coordination to navigate our 5-hour time difference. David followed through on everything he said he would do, all the way down to the detail of calling me at the exact times we planned to talk. As a busy professional, I was thankful that David didn’t waste my time and every conversation we had was productive and moved us one more step forward. Successful realtors like David are also busy, and I was impressed with his time management and flexibility to stay in communication with me through the process. Every home purchase or sale is a big transaction – something that most people only do a handful of times throughout their life. It was reassuring to be able to trust David with managing the transaction for me while respecting me and the decisions that I made along the way. I highly recommend using David Ivy for your next purchase or sale in the Austin area.

After a great deal of research and many interviews, my wife and I recently selected David Ivy as our buyer's agent. David was an excellent listener and clearly very good at his job. David guided us with exceptional punctuality, responsiveness, and professionalism. He helped us find and win a property that exactly matched a tricky set of search criteria. We competed against and were outbid by several offers. Still, somehow, our offer was selected, and I think David should be credited for that. I'd happily recommend him to anybody and fully intend to have him assist us in any future transactions.

David was outstanding to work with, very helpful and insightful, and ultimately very effective in securing my investment under very challenging market conditions. I am a first-time home-buyer and new overall to real-estate investing. In my search, I reached out to multiple agents in a couple of different metro areas. David was upfront and straightforward about my prospects in the Austin market, and I ended up deciding to look for a property in Austin, not just because it aligned well with my investment needs, but also in part because David seemed like the most trustworthy of the agents I spoke with.
I was not wrong in that impression. Throughout the process, David went out of his way to explain the process and my options in detail and offer insightful advice. In a market situation of decreasing options and increasing competitiveness for offers, he recognized a good option when he saw it and helped me secure it. Without the decisions that David helped me make, I believe I would still be looking and facing diminishing prospects. After the property was under contract, I feel David went above and beyond in his role since I needed to handle everything remotely, and he helped every step of the way. I am very grateful to David for his diligence and professionalism. As for the experience with Realty Austin online, I thought the website was friendly and easy to work with and allowed me to easily look through many house options during my search. I appreciate everyone's help behind the scenes in that endeavor.

Working with Martha Olmos has been an absolutely incredible experience. From start to finish, her professionalism, expertise, and dedication stood out. Martha’s extensive knowledge of builders and the real estate market gave me confidence every step of the way. This was especially important for me since we have been out of the Austin market for about 4 years after coming back from overseas. She not only provided invaluable insights but also made sure I understood every detail of the process, which was especially helpful. Her communication was flawless—always timely and clear, whether through phone or email. Martha ensured that we felt supported and informed throughout the journey. What truly set her apart was her willingness to negotiate on my behalf, advocating for my best interests with skill and determination. Martha’s attention to detail and genuine care for us makes her an exceptional realtor.

This is the second time we have worked with Martha as our realtor, and it has been a true blessing. She is a strong, intelligent, and skilled professional. Buying a home can be stressful, especially when the builder does not meet expectations. Martha helped us navigate this process with great grace. We highly recommend her for leasing, selling, buying, or any real estate consultations.
