During the stressful times (because we all know selling a home can be stressful at times), he was right there by our side bringing us coffee gift cards if you can believe it! He answered our dozens of phone calls and text messages without delay and was very patient answering our many questions (we were selling our first home, so we had lots of questions). You can tell he empathizes with his clients. He seems to really understand what his clients are going through and we could tell that he genuinely cares. Not only that, he is a fighter. He fights for his clients...for their wishes, needs and investments. As if that wasn't enough, we were able to get 98% of our original asking price which was set at a price above the average in our particular area! We were very pleased abut that to say the least because we had more equity in the home than we thought - and it was thanks to Chris and his determination and hard working attitude. We would recommend Chris Frickel to any family, friend, neighbor or stranger because I know he would take great care of them. Happy selling and hunting!

Scott's knowledge of the market, local area, and comparable properties was immediately evident. He came prepared, priced the property strategically, and his expertise clearly contributed to a fast, smooth sale with no hiccups along the way. What also set Scott apart was his communication. He was consistently responsive (even on Sundays) and proactive throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and ahead of every decision, exactly what you want when selling an investment property. We would recommend Scott without hesitation to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and results-driven realtor.

We cannot recommend him highly enough--his professionalism and dedication made our transition significantly easier.

Raymond advised me on matters such as rental rates, how to handle payments, getting the house ready for rental, listing and showing the house.

He handled everything, and has been available and accessible during the whole process, as well as throughout the lease. I highly recommend Raymond if you are looking to rent your house out, trying to find a place to live, or even selling your house. I plan to use Raymond when I list my house for sale in the near future.

Ian has spent his entire life in Austin and has his finger on the pulse of the city and how it can best meet your needs and wish lists. Not only was Ian consistently on time (read: 10 minutes early) to all of our visits, but he was well dressed, patient, positive, and eager to help. I never had to wait more than an hour or two for his follow-up and he handled all action items immediately and with a smile. Ian wrapped up every one of our engagements with a recap of what we mutually agreed upon as well as a summary of next steps and who would be responsible for those. The thought of purchasing my first home had me riddled with anxiety and questions for several years. I have no doubt that had I gotten in touch with Ian sooner, I could have spared myself a lot of additional trouble that he sailed through with familiarity and ease. Please ask Ian for my contact info if you want more specific examples of my claims. I will be more than happy to give you my honest opinion of how & why Ian Grimes is destined to be one of the most elite agents in Austin and ultimately beyond.

However, Dave is extremely intelligent and has a full understanding of market trends and market theory and he was able to immediately address every question I addressed (and trust me, I ask A LOT of questions). Through years of experience, he is able to provide solid advice about the best strategies for home staging, marketing your home, negotiation, etc. With ease, he is able to provide feedback on property values based on school systems, upgrades and home features, and neighborhoods/locations around the city (I now have a gorgeous home in Crestview). Dave is professional, thorough, and provides a level of service I have not seen by realtors I have previously worked with. He is easy to get in touch with (and will text back in an instant). I recommend David Dreyer without hesitation and I plan to use him again on my next real estate transaction.

My wife and completed our home buying odyssey in 2011... a long saga with tales of good and evil…read moreleading to a moment like no other... a brave new world, our home. In the not so distant past, evil Realtor overlords dominated the housing horizon. Time and again, we tried to shed these dream oppressors, but alas they seemed to be at every home purchase. Then came Sean... a seemingly unassuming, small town boy with big city dreams. While wandering away from his quaint village of "New York", he stumbled upon a strange, new, and decidedly weird world known as Austin. He sought a different path, one that only became clearer over time. By channeling his spirit in this sparse, south by southwestern community he found his calling... place people in their homes. Nurtured by the Austin oasis, this lone rebel fought the evil Empire for us. Our young warrior was not afraid to turn in a low bid or stand up to the dogmatic forces of proper real estate etiquette. "All they can say is no," said the boy as he became a master. From the vast hilly desert of SW Austin, through the hills and up to the highlands, Sean fought the good fight to put us in a home. Along the way, he dealt adamantly with real estate riffraff and fought for the little guy, establishing himself as a Realtor of the people. Now, as we move on to the next chapter in our lives, we'll forever be grateful to the agent who said "Those electrical boxes will catch on fire!" and "I wouldn't want a rat to fall on your face" and "Got you a free water heater." Truly a man of distinction. Thank you Sean Austin, and godspeed.

He's found two homes for us in incredibly hot neighborhoods. We would definitely use him again.
