This is the 3rd house that I've sold and I've never had an experience like this before. Your services are amazing. Your client services and attention to great detail are top notch. I've never seen a realtor company so organized like this before. Being out of town, I was crazy nervous, but your communication methods are rated #1 in my book. You kept me informed at every step of the process. I had zero (0) stress in this process and ultimately the sale of my house. You are well worth every penny of your commission. Your cutting age use of technology is truly amazing to me. I will forever recommend your company to everyone I know in your service area. Thank you for an awesome experience and a truly blessed outcome. read more

Culhane has been my agent for nearly four years, helping through multiple closings. The last one was challenging, because it was an older house that we had been renting out and we tried to go the discount realtor route with horrible results. We made the decision to go back to Culhane, and what a difference it made. Eric Engberg, our listing agent, gave me a comprehensive list of the repairs that he recommended that I do make the house more marketable. He helped me find contractors to do the work, and in every case his recommended contractor gave me a better quote than what I could find on my own. He took so much care to ensure that everything was going to go right, communicating throughout through the process. His marketing materials were top-notch, the listing was well written, and we got our offer perfectly according to plan. Delaine Kaplan handled all of the contract-to-close responsibilities, and couldn't have been better to work with. Eric continued to negotiate amendments on my behalf. Between the two of them, I couldn't have been in better hands. My wife and I have resolved that Culhane will be the first number we call the next time we decide to move. read more

I lived in downtown Austin in a tiny hot neighborhood in South Lamar. With a sigh, my neighborhood had tricky comparables due to the varying gentrification levels of the adjacent streets. I designed & lived in an architectural wonder that floundered on the market with 2 different listing agents - during a sellers market. I liked the listing agents - they were busy & worked open houses. After 6 months, scratching our heads, the advice i got from the current listing was to thrash the price & rip out the gem of a highly designed kitchen & eating area. I was to then rebuild a traditional safe one - so the next owner could put a table in it... I was at the end of my rope. I was about to do it. ...they didn't get the residence. In walks SHAWN CULHANE ... He got it. Shawn looked pained & then laughed at the advice I received. He looked at my very cool computer station I had in the main living area & told me 2 things: One, go put that workstation in the quirky room downstairs. Two, set this amazing space up for a classy dinner party. The buyers will instantly feel themselves "living" in here. They wont care about the table they cant use ... spoon feed them the vision & lifestyle. I hired him & took his advice. Shawn then ordered a more expensive, but necessary, higher level night photography shoot & then turned on his very practiced "machine" for selling a home & set up open houses. He sold my home to the SECOND couple to walk through the door on the first day. BAM!!! Shawn then had specific associates for each aspect of the sale & closing process work with me, There was not one ball dropped / they were ridiculous in exceeding expectation. Shawn and his associates had their eye on the prize. The good news is that they had two prizes in mind, the whole time: Closing the deal & my experience. Me? Yes, a happy client is a hopeful repeat client & good recommendation. An ecstatic client is shouting out at how good their experience was & a client for life. I would never do this type of a transaction without Shawn & his team. Ending with humor to whoever is reading this. Using Shawn is an IQ test - I hope you pass. read more

Thank you, Robert Madeja, for making the experience of selling our home as stressless as possible especially during these times. Your guidance and experience was much appreciated!! Dan and Peggy read more

Regarding another review here: they won't return calls because they're too busy soliciting business by phone. Santa needs to bring this guy a copy of the Do Not Call List for Christmas... Several days before Christmas I got a sleazy solicitation phone call asking if I was thinking of selling my house. I asked where they got my phone number, and the jerk hung up. I guess this guy is too cheap to mail out the "call me if you're interested in selling your home!" postcards, since a stamp costs more than a phone call. read more

They don't answer their phone when you call and voice mail is full. Way to go there Realtor.

Our overall experience was wonderful! Buying a first home can be a bit scary, but with Culhane the process went smooth, and exciting! The housing market is crazy right now, and we were worried we wouldn't find the right house in time (before our baby came). Our realtor Angie with Culhane Premier Properties assured us she would help us find our perfect house, and she sure did! Angie and this company are professional, yet fun to work with and I highly recommend them. read more

RHONDA IS THE BEST REALTOR!! We'd give her 100 stars if we could. She's kind, trustworthy and personable. Not to mention, great at her job. She was available nearly around the clock to help guide us through the process from our initial search all the way up to the day we closed (yes, she came to our closing to make sure it went smoothly). WE CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH. Also, shout out to Culhane Premier Properties for supporting Rhonda and us throughout this process of buying our first home (especially Tammy and Delaine). It was smooth from beginning to end. THANK YOU! read more

Scott Ewell at Culhane properties is the man! He worked his butt off to get my wife and me into the house we just knew was out there! Thanks Scott for all your after work and weekend hours you put into it! Scott was also great at making sure we were way ahead of the curve and knew what was coming up in the process of buying our house. I always felt like he was stepping up for us and making sure our best interest were in mind. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott Ewell at Culhane Properties or any (I also have purchased with Shawn Culhane and he is awesome as well) of there Realtors there when looking to buy a house. We appreciate your hard work. Thanks again read more

Shawn Culhane is a total douchebag! This guy has no idea how to return calls and can't even respond to an email about selling my acreage to pay off some medical bills for my sick relative. You would think folks would be a little more compassionate when they know you have a special need but when the guy found out it was only for $50,000 he seemed way to good to help or even refer me to another agent who could help me. It is ok Shawn...I am sure you are way too busy helping out all your rich clients who you probably screw over! I have worked with many agents in the past and can't even believe this clown calls himself a broker. I would not refer this guy to my own worst enemy!!! read more

Top notch professional courtesy from the start. After considering others to sell our home, we chose Culhane and so glad we did. A special shout out to Krissy who kept us informed at every turn and listened..how refreshing (: read more

Very professional, attentive and thorough staff. Great web presence and marketing capabilities.

Culhane Homes and our representative, Diana Leyva treated us like we were her only clients even though she has many, and gave us white glove amazing customer service. She has an impressive knowledge of the market, and really listens to her clients' needs. She was quick to respond and really helped us through many of our own challenges in the selling process. Diana is a rock star realtor and I would highly recommend her and use her again for the future. She made this process as painless as possible and got us the most bang for our buck, and then some! She does what it takes to get the job done in the quickest manner possible. Love love love her and the Shawn Culhane experience! read more

Impressive service. This company knows how to market and sell homes. Our home sold in the time frame expected and for an amount that was expected. Good service and they keep the lines of communications open. They inform you of every detail of their work along the way. You are even notified any time any agent shows the home and they push for a review by that agent. read more

Scam artist who has been sneaker dialing my phone and leaving unwanted phone messages daily for the last 3 weeks. Avoid at all costs. *** Update *** Actually got a human being on the phone and she apologized but refused to actually make the robocalls stop. I received another less than 30 minutes later. read more

Culhane Real Estate, most over rated company I have ever dealt with. They have an excuse for everything. Their advertising is stated with omissions, very misleadingly, they told me I need to read the fine print! read more

We couldn't be happier with Eric Engberg as our agent and Kristina Foster as our contract/closing agent. We were able to get a full price offer after just 2 weeks. It was on the market before that for 3 months with no offers. They were there every step of the way from start to end and kept us up to date on EVERYTHING. Their marketing, system, process, and team work is very impressive. Closing day went very smoothly. We were done in about 10 minutes and was funded in a couple of hours. We will definitely use them again. read more

Scott Ewell is a great real estate agent and would recommend him to any of our friends! Scott and Allison Carr really care about their clients regardless of any situation, time, or place. They made the process of buying a home as easy and straight forward as possible while being honest and advocating for us!!! We had tons of doubts and questions and they always reassured us to move forward without ever being pushy! They helped us feel at ease through all the big decisions! Awesome job team!! Can't wait to be in our new home read more

I'm late in writing this review; however I'm doing it now because I've seen so much marketing for Shawn Culhane. In March of last year I found a property on Realtor.com and contacted the listed agent - Shawn. After a couple of days I had not received an email or call so I phoned him. I got his voice mail and left a message. No Call back. Over the next week or so I left 2 more messages and never received a call back. At one point I called and someone in his office answered. I explained that I had left several messages and never received a call. She said he will call me back - she'll make sure of it. Never got a call back. Needless to say, I'll never call them again. I would NEVER recommend Shawn Culhane. read more

I had such a wonderful experience with Kristina F with Culhane! I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking for a friendly and knowledgable agent!!! She was super patient with us as this was our first time selling a house! :) read more

We met Mike W. and the home buying experience was stellar from there on out. Mike was warm, pleasant and professional. We maintain a great relationship with him to this day. Culhane kept all of their promises and took the extra effort to make sire were were happy even after the close. read more

We just purchased our first home from Scott, and let me tell you... Scott Ewell with Culhane Properties is a class act― patient, honest, and well informed about the area. I know that we were not Culhane Properties only client at the time we were looking to buy our house, but we felt like Scott's only clients. My Wife and I had been looking for a house for over a year. We fired more than one real estate agent due to lack of attention, and/or difficult interactions. I lost a leg in a motorcycle accident, and when looking for properties he made sure to check for excessive steps, narrow doorways and hallways, and high inclines on driveways and sidewalks. He even lifted my 70lbs wheelchair into the back of his own truck, unloaded it at each property, and loaded it back up again. He did so for weeks without complaint or mention of inconvenience. In fact, he seemed to take joy in providing assistance. We looked at several homes, at my insisting, that were simply a bad fit― homes with tight corners and narrow hallways, small kitchens and hard to get through front, rear, and bedroom doors. Scott humored me, and without complaint took us to the next house. Sometimes we spent 5 minutes in a house before proceeding to the next, sometimes we didn't even get out of the car. Scott never showed any signs of even the slightest irritation at what other agents flat out stated was a waste of time. We felt like we were looking for houses with a close friend rather than a real estate agent. My Wife and I trust Scott emphatically, and recommend him exclusively to both friends and family. read more

My family sold commercial property in Seguin. Barry Mott did such a great job finding us the right buyer. Transaction was without incident. So smooth. We would absolutely use Culhane again! read more

Kyle Hughes is the best. An honest man trying to make this military family happy. Kyle seriously bent over backwards for us. Never just trying to sell us something. He wanted to make sure we got what we were looking for. House after house and sometimes the back to the last house just to make sure that was the one. He understood my husband's schedule and made things happen. He found us a beautiful home. He made sure we are where and what we wanted to be. He has our respect if/when we decide to buy again we will be calling him. read more

We couldn't have had a better experience working with Eric & Scott at Culhane Premier Properties. Absolutely as buttoned up as possible and made the whole selling process so easy for us. Took care of everything and kept us in the loop on a daily basis. Not to mention we got a great value for our home. Worth every penny to hire these guys and their skilled staff! Eric & Scott are the best around!! read more

For a couple of years, we had known that we wanted to purchase a new home but we weren't really sure how to go about it since we hadn't bought/sold a home in 15 years. Shawn helped us both sell our home and buy a new home. He was able to give us all the information we needed and we felt very confident with the whole process. We bought our forever home and it was quite wonderful! His office staff was very accommodating and reassuring and really just went above and beyond. The whole experience was fantastic! read more

Mr. Bart Tracy is to be commended for getting my son a contract on the perfect house in the greater Austin area. Were it not for Bart's impressive knowledge of this area's real estate market, my son would still be looking. Bart orchestrated the viewing and consequent contract offer on the evening of Thanksgiving Day, which we found out the following Monday morning, the sellers chose my son's offer over the 12+ other offers they had also been given. Bart always had my son's interest uppermost in mind as he steered him thru the complex processes of inspections, re-inspections, appraisers, surveyors, lenders, etc. Bart unilaterally noticed when small, but important things were not right and got them corrected. Things like ensuring my son had in-hand house keys upon leaving directly after signing at closing, which the title company did not immediately provide upon closing. Bart also got a conspicuously absent appliance that was supposed to convey, returned to the property in time for closing. This appliance was supposed to convey but was mistakenly removed from the home. Bart also ensured my son had a one-year home guarantee set up to ease the burden of this major transition to this new home in a new area. Mr. Bart Tracy is the consummate professional and possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of this real estate market in Austin. Because Bart knew when and where the new homes were just coming onto the market, he worked hard to quickly get his clients, in this case, my son, home tours and consequent personalized contracts submitted, to ensure being one of the first, (if not the very first) contract offered to the sellers. Bart Tracy is the singular reason behind why my son is in his own home today. Mr. Bart Tracy, God bless you. We know God sent you and used you to orchestrate my son's "perfect home" in the Austin area." My son and I will always be grateful to you for your professionalism, dedication and impeccable character. Bart, you are in the top 1% of professionals with whom I personally have worked over the course of 30 years of military service, having bought / sold multiple homes necessitated by the many CONUS / OCONUS permanent changes of stations Uncle Sam required of our family, as we literally moved around the world. read more

Scott and the entire team were very professional and organized throughout the entire process. Let us know what was expected of us at each step and what would happen next. Thanks so much! read more

So very tardy in do this... My apologies all around. We've had a very busy year!! But I do want to add my comments on my experiences with Chris DeTrinis at Culhane! He was absolutely the best. We are old enough to be his grandparents! We were looking for a second/retirement home in the Leander, Texas of area. Wanted somewhere close to our kids and my sister who lives in Georgetown. Chris took the time to understand our unique needs and did an outstanding job helping us find just what we wanted. He made me feel very comfortable with my decisions, but didn't pressure me to act. We decided to purchase a new build home, and he was with us every step of the way. We've had agents that drop out of sight once the builder contract is negotiated only to return on closing day. Not Chris! He was great and helped with every question we had! If we didn't already have five kids, I think I would have adopted him! Good Luck Kiddo!! Thanks for the help! read more
