From day one, Laura took the time to truly get to know us as people. She listened carefully to what we liked and didn't like, understood our goals, and took the time to learn what was most important to us in finding the right home. She didn't just help us search for houses... she became a trusted advocate who genuinely championed our interests every step of the way. Laura went above and beyond in ways we never expected. Every property we considered was thoroughly vetted, not only for its features and condition, but also for potential issues that could affect us down the road. Whether it was physical concerns with the property, deed restrictions, HOA requirements, or anything else that might impact our future enjoyment of the home, Laura dug deep and made sure we had the information we needed to make confident decisions. What impressed us most was the level of care she brought to the process. She evaluated each home as if her own family were purchasing it. We never felt pressured. We never felt rushed. We always felt protected, informed, and supported. Buying a home can be stressful, but Laura made the experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Her professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, and genuine care for her clients set her apart. She isn't simply selling homes... she's helping people create the next chapter of their lives. We are incredibly grateful for everything Laura did for us and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want someone who will truly have your best interests at heart, Laura Tomaszewski is the person you want by your side. Thank you, Laura, for helping us find not just a house, but a place we are excited to call home.

Update: I was the 2nd person to contract to build in Edgewick in July 2007 back when it was just a…read moreconcept on paper--only a trailer and no model homes or homes of any kind existed. I moved in the 1st quarter of 2008 and so I am part of the group who has lived in Edgewick the longest. Edgewick's lots of lands and concepts are owned by Benchmark/Momark. They are the developers. They are very well known in Austin and have developed many award-winning communities (example: the Austonian downtown is their project) which is a good thing if you have any worries about Edgewick making it. I feel confident this community will build out eventually though the economic downturn has made things move slower than the original 3 year build out plan. Wes Peoples is the new builder. You can see that the new homes under construction are modern design so it does look a little funny next to the original homes that are not modern. Having said that from looking at the quality of work the homes are actually improved. Once the community is built out it will hardly be noticeable. From here I will break down a Pro and Con List. Let's start with Cons: --You are living in SE Austin in an area that has not yet gone through gentrification. There is crime in the area though not enough to stress about. There have been very random, minor break-ins with vehicles mostly in Edgewick in the past 4 1/2 years though I personally have not been affected. This happens all across Austin especially as the city grows. If this bothers you I suggest you might want to move to Hutto or somewhere out in the country away from people. --The HOA has been very dominant over the past 4 years. Luckily they have just recently started to form a "safety committee" so that we the people have more voice. On the one hand as a good thing the fact that they run such a tight ship means the community is kept in tip top shape. Just be aware that they are always "On" so don't leave shoes scattered, put your trash can away immediately, ect. --Carlson Drive was built by Edgewick and is still maintained by Edgewick. It was supposed to be a private drive meaning the gates you see now were supposed to close Carlson off on the back end of Edgewick. You can see lots of lots ready for houses to be built circling Carlson. However the city as of now is refusing to allow Edgewick to make Carlson private. This means the dog park is technically located outside the gates of the community and is being used by the public. Though I myself don't personally mind sharing the issue at hand is when stuff gets broken or stolen. This is costing Edgewick money and therefore us the homeowners money. --The pool can really get overrun with college students in the summer. This is because some of the units in the community were purchased by parents for their kids. The HOA has recently really cracked down on monitoring the pool and the number of people allowed in. Larger parties now have to get pre-approved permission. PROS --You absolutely cannot beat the location. You have 2 major highways at your disposal (Ben White and IH-35). Because we are south of downtown you don't have as bad of a traffic mess like other parts of Austin. Zipping across Woodward or Oltorf to South Congress and downtown is a breeze. --You don't share walls with your neighbor (though the units are built close together) and each unit gets a garage. --The pool now has wifi. The pool itself is really great and the commercial grill is awesome for cook-outs. --Our community is very quiet. Sometimes there gets to be activity on Parker but those units being built and sold now are away from Parker so they won't notice as much. When I'm home I work from home and love it. --In regards to long term value you need to know that the city of Austin is dedicating a lot of $$$ to revitalizing East Riverside Drive which is just north of Edgewick beyond Oltorf. The live music scene is already moving East. This means in the future the area around Edgewick will also improve bringing the value of Edgewick up. It also means lots of cool stuff coming close. --The #7 bus route has 2 stops outside the gates of Edgewick on Parker. This bus goes straight downtown and drops off on Congress ave!! I live on this bus during SXSW. It only takes about 20 minutes to get downtown on the #7 from Edgewick once on board. --It is easy to bike ride from Edgewick as we are just across the highway from everything cool. If you want to bike on the East side you can go down Parker road, and cross Riverside where there is a bridge. Lady Bird Lake is so close to Edgewick too. --My floorplan is now called the Penn. I added an extra bathroom so I have 2 full baths. I know I'm biased but I think this is the best floor plan as everything you need is on one floor save for your washer and dryer. This also makes it safe. If you have questions about our community feel free to PM me.

Got the fuck outta Edgewick. Dont move here. HOA is finally run by residents and unfortunately we…read moreinherited a mess. The budget was not managed well by the HOA company. Residents have recently been charged mandatory assessment fees of $1000 on top of the monthly fee to get the budget back to where its supposed to be. Monthly HOA fees were over $210 a month when left and they were about to raise them again. Landscapping is more absent than its ever been in this community. We usually get a once a year spring mulch replacement for every yard in the community around April that did not even happen this year for the first time in the eight years that I lived at Edgewick. So much turnover in neighbors, its hard to get to know anyone and many people rent their properties. Not much of a community. I would seriously reconsider moving into Edgewick. Dont get me started on the current lawsuit about structural construction issues on some of the properties.

His operation was so smooth, that by the time we listed, we had offers waiting. His pricing was perfect to create interest but also right in the sweet spot to bid up.

Side note: After staging, I considered keeping the house as an Airbnb, but the price was too good.

As a former salesperson myself, I marveled at how well he managed us, the buyers, and the whole process. He truly took it all on, and we were able to be way less stressed and less burdened than any other real estate deal. In fact, after working with about 6 realtors in other transactions, I would definitively say he was the absolute best! Truly a gem. I will recommend him to friends and family for a long time!

As others have said in their reviews, we were very happy with Want to Sell Now. Yes, it is weird to…read moreget an offer for your home without anyone stopping by to meet with you. Our home admittedly was not in great shape. We told them that. We just didn't want to spend the time and effort to fix it up for sale, so having it sold "as is" means that you don't get top dollar but Want to Sell Now was very fair when determining the valuation. We were funded in less than 30 days. Ryley, David, Lindsay, Kyler and Brandon were all wonderful to work with. I was one of those clients that drive a business crazy with questions and worried about things that I really didn't have to worry about. That's how I have all their names.
