I had the pleasure and good fortune of selecting Ian Grimes as my real estate agent and wanted to…read morepresent the facts of why others should consider doing the same. 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.

I cannot say enough things about Ian Grimes and Grimes Realty. He helped us every step of the way…read moreand made sure our process went smoothly. Being from Austin, he is very knowledgeable about all of its neighborhoods and where we should be looking. We love our new home and so glad we made the purchase. I would highly recommend Ian!

We interviewed Todd and other agents when we were considering selling our house but had not yet…read moredecided to put it on the market. Todd spent an hour with us discussing our situation and came across as savvy, knowledgeable, well-resourced, confident, realistic and patient. He kept in touch occasionally in the succeeding months and, when we decided to go forward, worked with us to develop a sales plan, immediately producing a contractor who began work on the property. When a buyer expressed interest, Todd helped facilitate the loan. The sale itself went through without a hitch, largely because of Todd's support team ("The Todd Squad"), which expertly coordinated the various players, made sure all the paperwork was completed accurately, and kept things on schedule. Todd and his team are a formidable force--any seller would be very fortunate to retain them. Highly recommended.

He was incredibly knowledgeable and always knew what to ask the builder, even when we had no idea what questions we should be asking. He checked in with us regularly, kept us informed every step of the way, and handled all the details so we always felt supported throughout the process. Looking back, I honestly can't imagine going through this experience without him! If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and will advocate for you from start to finish, we can't recommend Brandon highly enough!

TL;DR Brandon is one…read moreof those people that go above and beyond in every capacity. We ran into so many hurdles in our first home buying but Brandon fought for us every step of the way. I highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking to purchase a home. Extended Review: Brandon met with us and showed us many properties that fit within our budget and were what we were looking for. After a bit of searching, we found a great new home build in which we were satisfied with. We had quite a few hiccups when it came to our billing. Item after item popped up and it made us quite anxious. There were multiple times where we thought that we might have to wait and buy a home at a later date. Brandon was there though with ideas, ways to deal with our issues creatively, and to help us get our home NOW instead of later. We were so thrilled when we were finally able to close on our home. If you thought this was the end of the review, no no no. There is ever more craziness that is about to unfold!! Our builder had an initial delay but it was no issue. Brandon let us know and with a lot of time in advance to prepare, it was fine. The day before our appointment (as we were purchasing out of state) we flew on the day before. As we were waiting for our next flight, we got a call from Brandon. The builders had delayed it again! Not even a day before letting us know!! With some annoyance, we rescheduled but once again Brandon was fighting for us. He reached out to the builders and fought for us to get additional benefits and even got us our closing cost reduced. Overall, I cannot thank Brandon enough for all the hard work, determination, and perseverance throughout our buying experience. He's definitely someone who will get you into your home!! 100% recommend!!

He knew exactly what we needed to do submit a winning bid in this crazy housing market. Despite his absolutely spotless advice, we made offers on homes that weren't as high as he recommended. We lost out on two houses with 30+ bids because we didn't heed his advice to the letter. On the third home, we did what he said and our offer was selected amongst many others that were equally competitive. Throughout this process, Alex was kind and accommodating. He wrote multiple offers. He amended them. He wrote offers requesting we be the backup offer. He scheduled same-day visits when homes came on the market. He responded to late night texts and early morning emails. After our bid was accepted, he continued to work on our behalf consulting and coordinating with our lender, insurance provider, and title company. When they had a question for us, he provided it on our behalf in minutes if he had the answer. He sent us reminders well in advance of every critical step in the process to ensure we didn't forget a deadline or signature. After closing, he continued to represent us and follow up on any questions or issues we had. If you're serious about getting into a house and have the means to make competitive offers, Alex will work around the clock to make sure nothing short of another buyer's offer stands in the way of you getting the house you want.

I'm always impressed by how quick his responses are, he often provides helpful info I would ask for before I have to ask for it, and most importantly, I always get the sense that the professional guidance he gives is truly in my best interest (not his own). Nothing but positive things to say about Alex, would recommend him to anyone looking for a home or small multifamily property.
