I would highly recommend working with Brandy. I had just sold my previous house in the country outside Austin and was looking to move more centrally. Brandy helped me find the perfect house that balanced living centrally (access to restaurants, parks and other amenities), with having my own space and privacy (which I valued from living outside the city). At first I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for, but after an initial conversation and some of my feedback based on the initial listings she shared, Brandy arranged for us to walk a variety of different houses. As we walked the houses, she would pay attention to my comments of what I liked and what my concerns were, but more importantly she was also paying attention to my non-verbal reactions and looking for patterns in what got me excited. She would then take this information to iterate on the types of houses she arranged for us to walk the following week. For me, this was the part I valued most. She not only listened to what I said, but how I said it and would use that to refine her search as we continued looking at houses. She also helped me avoid pitfalls by bringing up concerns I had shared about previous houses to make sure I was not overlooking any issues with the current house we were looking at. Beyond helping me find the perfect house for me, Brandy is everything you hope for and expect from a professional in this field. She is responsive, communicative, a good listener and knowledgeable about the city, the different neighborhoods and the technical process of buying a house. She is also phenomenal at advocating and representing you during the offer and inspection negotiations. Most importantly, she is a pleasure to work with. She is very professional and knows her stuff, and you will enjoy the days you are driving around from neighborhood to neighborhood visiting houses with her. She is always punctual, an excellent communicator and an expert at her job. This is best exemplified by the number of repeat customers she has accrued over the years. I will also be using Brandy for any future needs I have in the Austin area. read more

I first found out about Brandy when my next door neighbor chose her to sell his house. He was extremely happy with the way she handled the marketing and closing. You may be wondering how he found her. It turns out a highly successful retired real estate broker in our old neighborhood chose her to be the agent when he sold his home. When successful real estate professionals choose her to work with their own property, it's a tell that she is really good. Brandy handled the sale of two Austin residences for us. The first was a home in Long Canyon that we owned for seventeen years. Details with repairs and downsizing was quite a set of tasks to handle. She was quick to respond with contractor recommendations and her support team was at the ready any time I needed help including removing some personal items just before closing. When the first buyer fell through, she had another lined up and within a few days we were back on track. The second sale was a townhome in a development with a lot of other inventory available. My expectations were low. She gave us a listing price that I thought was beyond possibility. My highest hope was that I could communicate to her what was unique about our unit and that she could communicate that to potential buyers. Empathy and insight into what buyers are seeking enabled her to do just that. Brandy recommended a stager and the place looked so good I thought about keeping it. To my surprise, we sold the property for the listing price two months after it went live at a time when the Austin market had cooled down a bit. She had two buyers lined up with bids and I'm blown away that she was able to do that given the market conditions at the time. Brandy has so many good qualities. She is smart, knowledgeable, patient, a good listener and a strong negotiator that treats all parties with courtesy and respect. If you need a real estate agent in Austin, Brandy Finnessey is an excellent choice and I highly recommend her. read more

When my husband and I relocated to Austin for our jobs, we quickly realized finding an affordable house close to work and in a good location would be a challenge. Brandy spent an entire day taking us to various parts of town, discussing the pros and cons (traffic, property value trends, etc.) and showing a sampling of houses so we knew how far our budget would go in each area. She assisted throughout the buying process asking the right questions to make sure we made thoughtful choices and remained mindful of our top priorities. Brandy guided us to a perfect home within our budget that met all of the criteria. She continued to be a part of our lives, providing references during our remodel, and advising on the upgrades that would most likely ensure a return on our investment. One year later, it came as a huge surprise to learn that we would be moving once again with for company; there was no question on our choice for a realtor! Brandy once again proved her value by marketing and staging our home, resulting in multiple offers and a sale price well above asking. We were even able to recoup all of our remodel dollars due to the sound advice she had provided. What could have been a financial strain and stressful process to move twice and remodel in one year, is now a fond memory full of adventure - much of that due to our choice of the perfect realtor! read more

My advice on choosing a realtor is, Do not hesitate to hire Brandy Finnessey as your agent. I have bought and sold 4 houses in different states over the past 15 years and have seen different levels of skill and service in my representation. Plus, I am extremely picky when it comes to choosing professionals that represent my financial interests. Hands down, Brandy is the best and delivered well beyond what I could have asked for. When I was planning my move to Austin in 2011, I interviewed several of the top Austin agents in depth. I chose to work with Brandy because she was the smartest, most knowledgeable about our target area (West Austin), most articulate, most responsive and best represented the ideal characteristics of a "buyer's agent". Brandy has a unique character in that she can be hard-as-nails professional when she needs to fight for you, but she also has a soft touch when consulting you and your family about your options. And she won't sugar-coat anything to speed up your decision - she will always tell it like it is whether it's what you want to hear or not. And this is what you want in an agent. I would not hesitate to work with Brandy in the future and am lucky to now count her as a friend. read more

I worked with Brandy to purchase my first home and it could not have been better. Brandy is a true professional, listened to what I was looking for, and pre-screened properties so that we only looked at those that fit my needs. She was so prepared and incredibly responsive. She helped me find my perfect new home! She was also great at reviewing other properties in the area and determining if a home was a good deal or overpriced. She is a rockstar at the negotiating process (which I feared would be daunting) and great at explaining each step of the escrow and contract process. Even after the home purchase is complete, Brandy is great at following up with you to remind you of important new home deadlines (ex: filing your homestead expemption). Essentially, the fantastic customer service doesn't end at the home closing - it continues. I have recommended Brandy to multiple friends who have had similar fantastic experiences. I could not compliment her more. When it is time to sell this home and purchase a new one (hopefully not for many many years), I look forward to working with Brandy again. read more

Brandi is very professional, personable and easy to reach. To be honest, her whole team is great and easy to talk to, Brandi is surrounded by good people. I am not talking only about her team but each one of the recommendations she gave me was amazing! Brandi will walk you through each detail and step of the way, while still providing you with a big picture and not sugar coating things! When you are in middle of the process you will be glad you have chosen Brandi and her team to represent you. You will notice very soon that she knows the Austin market very well. Although this is all nice, you kind of expect no less from your agent. What makes Brandi different from other people out there is the human factor. Believe me, the process can be emotional and stressful but she makes it look like a breeze, always a calming presence for you. Brandi is passionate about her work, as it is not just a job for her. She truly understands the importance of this moment in your life and she can be fierce if needed, in order to give you the best and nothing less than that! You are lucky to have her on your side! read more

Brandy sold our house in 4 days in Steiner Ranch at a time where competition was at its peak at our desired asking PRICE!!!! Brandy was recommended to us by a friend just in time when we were about ready to sign up with another agent. Having chosen her instead was the best decision we made. Not only was she very knowledgeable about the Real State market, she was very professional, accessible, very involved during the entire process that she actually assembled a team to help us get the house ready before putting it up in the market. No matter what time of the day it was, she would always respond to our every questions and concerns promptly. She had our best interest at all times. And she DELIVERED!!! She made the entire process as smooth as it can be, even to the last signature during the closing... We highly RECOMMEND Brandy to anyone who plans to sell their house, or even to BUY one. As a matter of fact, she has established with us one lasting relationship that she will be helping us AGAIN ...buy our new home.... Celso and Irene M. Steiner Ranch read more

As first time home-buyers in Austin, we approached the process with alot of caution and with an eagerness to learn. We knew we were in good hands with Brandy from the first visit when she presented a very clear outline of each step and discussed our communication styles and preferences. If we asked for more information or phone calls, she provided that for us so that we could be as informed as possible. What is very impressive about Brandy is that she is busy, but she made us feel like we were her top client. She always followed through with our request, took time to hear our concerns, and explained answers in-depth when we asked questions. Not to mention during the contract phase, she negotiated smartly resulting in a very positive outcome for our home purchase. She is a professional realtor with extensive knowledge of her business, savvy negotiator, and her service goes above and beyond. We highly recommend Brandy! read more

Our door to door cross country move was only possible with Brandy's expertise. A former coworker recommended, "The best realtor ever, Brandy Finnessey" for our move from MI to TX. Since our first contact, Brandy was 100% invested in us and repeatedly proved she heard and made our needs her priority. She consistently went above and beyond our expectations with her professionalism, communication, and using her excellent negotiating skills. At closing, Brandy emphasized that our relationship did not end here and that she will always be available to us. We have since contacted her several times and have received the same warm, responsive and quality experience we enjoyed since day one. It is our sincerest pleasure to recommend "The best realtor ever, Brandy Finnessey." read more

Brandy is as good as it gets! We moved to Austin from out of state and Brandy helped us understand anything and everything we needed to know about purchasing a home and the city of Austin. Brandy took time to understand who we are and what we want before showing us homes and areas, which helped us land our dream home in our dream neighborhood. We would have definitely gone the wrong way without Brandy's help, expertise, and patience. She often told us that once we have her, we have her for life, and she has been very helpful even after the closing when it comes to random questions that home ownership comes with. She's an excellent professional, realtor, and friend. Consider yourself lucky to work with her, because we do. read more

I have worked with Brandy on two house purchases and one house sale. Brandy is the most dedicated realtor I have ever worked with and I have bought and sold homes in Georgia, Oregon, and Texas. Her approach to realtor services is 110%. I was pleased to find out that she got her broker's license and that being a realtor is her fulltime career; it is not some side job for her. It is her whole career. She connected me with financing, with builders, and schools for both of my moves. When searching for a realtor in an area I am not familar with, I always look for a well connected, well educated, and experienced realtor that will protect my interests and my preferences.... Brandy is 5+ stars for all of these areas. read more

We are grateful to Brandy for her expertise in helping us buy our home. She understood what we were looking for at the onset, which made it seem easy to pursue our goal. Both Brandy and Andrea were quick to respond to any questions we had and also able to meet with us on short notice to view homes. We were well informed throughout the entire process, including after our house closed - it's nice that the relationship doesn't end once the sale is made. We have a valuable resource in Brandy for all sorts of challenges that come with buying/owning a house. We couldn't recommend a better broker, as Brandy's professionalism, knowledge and commitment made all the key differences for us. read more

We recently had the pleasure of working with Brandy to find our new home. From the moment we met Brandy, we knew it was the perfect fit. As we were relocating from out of state, she helped us put a plan together to find the best place for our growing family. Brandy took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and toured homes over multiple days until we found 'the one'. Brandy really shined during the negotiation process. She was very thorough, clearly communicated next steps and put together well rounded strategy. Due to this, we were able to get the house we wanted at a great price! I would highly recommend Brandy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! read more

Brandy was a wonderful asset to our home buying experience. She was very knowledgeable and gave insight on the properties we viewed. Keeping our best interest in mind, Brandy looked into things we did not even think of and made sure there were no issues with the property and location we considered. She also provided us with exceptional referrals. She made the entire process go by smoothly, was always easy to reach, and listened to all our concerns, maintaining the upmost professionalism. You will quickly realize that Brandy is extremely knowledgeable and will be grateful to have her leading you every step of the way. We can not recommend Brandy enough! read more

We came upon a new house that we loved. Brandy acted quickly, started negotiations immediately and got us a lower price than others around us. She also helped us sell our old home. She got us the advice and experienced help so we would know how to make our home look great for the pictures. The pictures were top of the line amazing! She got the word out on our house quickly! We had 4 offers in 5 days, with over 25 people viewing it. We ended up getting above asking price. She was amazing and knows her stuff! We are very happy in our new home! The only thing we wish we had more help in was working with the construction manager who was pushy. read more

Brandy is exceptional, and we are very grateful we were able to work with her on the purchase of our first home in Austin. We were continuously impressed by Brandy--from her knowledge of the local market and trends, to her efficient and professional approach, to her impactful insights within each home we viewed. When our offer was accepted, Brandy connected us with a variety of trusted vendors (title company, inspector, roofer, HVAC specialist, plumber, etc.) to complete the process which was very helpful. We bought a home we love, and Brandy was a joy to work with every step of the way. read more

Brandy, Steve, and team are a godsend. They helped us sell our home during a difficult personal matter, and handled it with empathy, professionalism, and care. Brandy has helped me in multiple transactions now, and every time, she's been a true partner every step of the way -- expert knowledge, great communication, and able to anticipate and address the challenges and intricacies of buying/selling in a city that is constantly evolving. I can't recommend Finnessey Davis + Co enough! read more
