John has been my realtor for 25 years, through 4 transactions and a couple of major life changes…read more The last one was a home sale as I had moved out of state. The remote issues that John and his assistant Michele handled for me were invaluable to making this move less painful. I cannot say enough good about what John and Michele have done for me. I would highly recommend them for hands on, personal attention and care.

A few months back, a "For Sale" billboard popped up on one of my neighbor's front lawns. Not a puny…read moresign. A billboard with some really nice-looking interior photos of his house. So nice, I almost wanted to buy his house. He sold his house shortly thereafter. My interest was piqued. He told me about John Stapleton. Some months pass. My wife and I decide it's time to sell our home, so we call John. John stops by one afternoon. Two and a half hours later we had some terrific insights into the housing market, photography, art, painting (John is a bit of a renaissance man with a great sense of humor) and a formidable to-do list of things that John suggested in order to get our home ready for market. When we got a little closer to the bottom of the to-do list, we set a "listing" date and continued to chip away. John stopped by on the Friday afternoon that the listing would hit the MLS and told us we were ready. He also told us that he would be erecting our very own billboard, with some of his interior photos of the house up in the front yard. It looked awesome. I wanted to buy my house. Now, your mileage may vary on this but, the folks from the first appointment to see the house on that Saturday morning made an offer. We followed John's suggestions and we were ready. Of course, there was back-and-forth, twists-and-turns and some "oh no" moments, but every time we hit a bump in the road, John managed to smooth it over while maintaining an even keel and a positive spin. His advice and negotiation savvy led a couple of stressed-out sellers down the path to a sale. The Godfather could not have had a better Consigliere. Back at the office, John's Transaction Coordinator, Michelle Iannacone, kept us in the (up to the minute) loop as to what was happening on the less glamorous but totally necessary document and procedural side of things. It was great to get hot, off the press tidbits from Michelle about how things were going behind the scenes. We certainly never could have predicted the favorable outcome (in an unfavorable market) that we experienced with Focus Realty, but when we met John, both my wife and I had a really good feeling. He listened to every word and was genuinely interested in helping us achieve our goals. We can't speak highly enough of John, Michelle and the little thing he calls Focus Realty. We would enlist their help again in a heartbeat, except that we're moving to Portugal. If you are not moving to Portugal, you should consider Focus first.

Once again, they were stellar! They sold our house in a matter of days for well over asking price. When there were some small hiccups in the process, they were there every step of the way to keep us informed and advocate for us! I promise you that you won't find a harder working and more dedicated couple than Sarah & Kyle!

A good friend recommended Mack as my realtor, and I'm so glad he did! He's quick and responsive, knowledgable about the area, an attentive listener, and immediately understood what I needed. He even took the step of mailing postcards to homeowners in my preferred neighborhood in the event any of them were thinking of selling! And even though I tend to over-research and second-guess *everything*, he's never made me feel like a pain in his side, which I appreciate, and he referred me to financing people who were instantly responsive and super easy to work with, which was a relief as well. Buying a home can be really daunting, but it's a lot easier when you like and trust your realtor. I'm happy I chose to work with Mack, and would definitely do so again.

We engaged Mack to help us purchase a new home and then sell the home we were currently in.

Once we toured the home we finally wanted to purchase, we wanted to make a move quickly and Mack made things happen almost instantaneously. Because we bought a home without having first sold the house we were living in, my wife and I originally contemplated using a "quick, guaranteed home buying service" to purchase our house. Mack helped us understand the hidden pitfalls that could occur and counseled us to stay the course with the traditional format. We are sure glad we did. The outcome Mack was able to obtain from the sale of our house was better than we imagined. We trusted him throughout this process because of his willingness to ask questions and understand our goals.

Walt has the experience you need to buy a home…read more I hope that all home buying experiences can be like this. We had a few different expectation calls to get things started and then we started getting customized searches for us to review. Due to the quick buying nature of Austin you needed to be ready to see homes on a moments notice. Walt was incredibly flexible and lined everything up for us to see. What separates Walt from the rest is his experience. We could walk up to a home and in a few short moments he could tell us everything we needed to know about potential repairs, time frames on when to expect repairs based on the age of specific pieces of the home, and could answer pretty much any question you could throw his way. At the end of the day we ended up going with a new build which is a bit easier than the resell market an Walt still represented us through the process, lined up viewings with the builders, and made us feel comfortable all the way to signing.

She showed me a couple homes, and then I decided it wasn't the right time for me to buy. Fast forward to today - my loan for my first house just funded. I'm so glad I went back to Tracy. She was patient, thorough, and organized from beginning to end. I didn't think I'd find everything I wanted in a house for the monthly payments I needed. But Tracy found a property that exceeded my expectations, and we jumped on the opportunity ASAP. Thanks to Tracy, my homebuying experience was stress-free. Actually, it was fun. I don't see any reason I won't continue to buy houses through Tracy as long as she's working as an agent. When I make recommendations, I take it seriously because they have my name stamped on them too. I have zero hesitation recommending the Torres Team.

A month crawled by and my search stopped when I finally decided to give Tracy a call. As a young adult I definitely had my doubts about the process, but Tracy possessed the faith and patience to help guide me through. Her knowledge and experience not only got me the house I wanted, but also made sure that it was in livable condition. Safe to say Ric and Tracy made a seemingly unenthusiastic process a very enjoyable one. I strongly recommend that if you're in Austin looking for a home you call them. It will be the best decision you make on your home buying journey.

I was so lucky to have connected with Ben, and I recommend trusting only him with your home sale…read more I was given Ben's name from someone who successfully bought a home with Ben's representation. I am in a different state from the home I was selling in Round Rock, so it was imperative that I found someone who could help long distance. Ben communicated everything to me to make sure I knew what was going on at all times. He was key in helping me figure out repairs that needed to be made pre-sale, helped coordinate those repairs, and even offered to do a couple things. He also recommended a price to sell the home at. It was perfect because I got 6 offers within hours of putting the home on the market, and it sold for substantially over asking price. Even in a seller's market, proper pricing is an art and skill, and the only way that multiple offers over asking price happened was because Ben knew how to price it and market it. He made the entire escrow process smooth and it closed as expected. There was no stress to me, and it was a great transaction. He was always available when I needed to talk with him. I know he had other clients, but he really made me feel like my sale was as important to him as it was to me. He valued me and my transaction. You really don't need to talk with anyone else if you contact Ben. He'll be the only realtor you'll need.
