I was a first time homebuyer in a crazy market searching for a house in a popular neighborhood in Austin. Todd understood the importance of acting fast in viewing a home and in preparing an offer. He was helpful in quiring all the documents and facts for me so that I could make an informed decision on such a big investment. Todd was very honest and helpful throughout the process. He was never pushy and we never felt ignored. He was prompt to all of our appointments and easy to communicate with via email, text, phone. He was and is very accessible and was also an asset in helping us negotiate with the sellers after the home inspection. I am very happy with my home purchase. He made the whole process as seamless as possible and we hope to work with him again in the future. He's a good guy and someone you can count on.

Chris Peterson was one of the few people taking the opposite approach by truly advising me on what was best for my family. He frequently took time to explain some of the more obscure elements of financing so that I could be fully informed.

Stress levels went down whenever we caught up, and I really appreciated his consultative approach. I'd recommend Chris without hesitation and will be referring friends his way in the coming years.

This was my husband and my First time buying a home and had no experience or idea what to expect from a Lending company so the communication, style of communication, information and process we thought we had from the original company was normal. I swear it was like BIPOLAR opposites in regards to the information, communication and assistance we received from Chris Beltran from Barton Creek lending group. He was answering my calls, my realtors calls and emails. He put my mind at ease and due to his assistance and awesome service we were able to secure our home loan and finalize our purchase of our 1st home with a interest rate we could be very happy with. I will recommend Chris Beltran / Barton Creek lending group to anyone looking to buy a house!

We chose Audrey Richard of Blairfield Realty to represent us in our home buying and selling process…read moreand I could not be happier with the way everything turned out. During the home buying process, she patiently helped us with our 6-month search until we found our gem of a house in our target neighborhood. Once we zeroed in on the home, she quickly helped us get under contract within two days of it being on the market, while other potential buyers hoped for our deal to fall through. Audrey was hands-on and constantly present during the option period and in seller negotiations and made the entire buying process so much easier for us. Even better, Audrey handled the sale of my condo from start to finish while ensuring the most seamless process possible -- I barely had to lift a finger! Once we moved out, she had the condo looking gorgeous, brand new, and market-ready with her mad staging skills in a matter of a couple weeks. Once on the market, the condo was under contract within a few days and the deal closed a few weeks later. I was truly amazed at and grateful for Audrey's hard work, time, and effort during the selling process. Would highly recommend her to all sellers and buyers!

I was in a…read moreunique predicament as I needed to sell my home and turn around and buy a new one within a narrow time frame. I was able to close on the old house quickly and purchased my dream home within 45 days! Michele streamlined the selling and buying process in a way that felt effortless. She handled every step--from staging, to inspections, to estimates on repairs... she seemed to have a "guy" for everything! She was in constant communication and I never had to lift a finger. I truly felt taken care of! Michele helped me secure a sweet cash deal on the home I was selling, at much more than expected. In turn she helped negotiate the price of the home I ending up purchasing (less than asking price)! I am so happy I chose her as my realtor and will definitely be sending more business her way. Thanks again!

We worked with Katy Hall over a search that stretched across two years, and what stayed consistent…read morethe entire time was how knowledgeable she is about the Austin market. She could walk into a listing and tell us within minutes whether it was priced fairly, what the comps actually supported, and what to watch out for, the kind of read you only get from someone who's genuinely on top of her market, not just going through the motions. What I appreciated most, though, is something a little harder to describe. There's an inherent tension in any buyer-agent relationship. Everyone's technically pursuing their own interest, and it's not always obvious how much weight to put on your agent's advice when the numbers are big and the decision is permanent. With Katy, that tension just wasn't there. She gave us advice like someone who actually wanted the right outcome for us, not just a closed deal, and it showed in small moments throughout the process, not just the big ones. By the time we closed, it genuinely felt like Katy had been as invested in getting it right as we were. If she's someone you get the chance to work with, consider yourself lucky, that's how we feel about it. If you want an agent whose advice you can actually lean on, she's it.

We can't say enough good things about Katy Hall. We first started working with her back in 2025,…read moreand even though we didn't end up finding anything we wanted to bid on that round, she never once made us feel bad about it or pressured us into settling for something that wasn't right. She was patient, genuine, and truly had our best interests at heart, not just a sale. So when we restarted our search in 2026, choosing to work with her again was an easy decision. This time we got lucky and found our home. Katy did an incredible amount of searching on our behalf, and whenever we walked into a home and it just didn't feel right from the first glimpse, she always told us there was no pressure at all, and that it was completely okay to turn around and leave. That kind of honesty and reassurance saved us so much time and energy, and made the whole search feel comfortable instead of stressful. Throughout the offer and closing process, she was the best support we could have asked for, always in our corner, always looking out for us. We're endlessly grateful to have found our home with her by our side. If you're searching for a realtor who genuinely cares about finding you the right home instead of just any home, Katy is who you want.

Alright, alright, alright. Where do we start? My wife and I met Chris Matthews back in…read moreOctober/November of 2024. We connected through a Homes.com search--ran filters for realtors with the highest volume of buy & sell transactions over the last five years--and he was at the top of our list. We had a few referrals from our network, but Chris was incredibly responsive, and our first call was solid. Long story long, we moved to Austin around that time, and Chris was there from the very start. He's direct in the kindest sense of the word, and he 1000% loves what he does. He figured out what we liked and didn't like, but that honestly didn't matter much because we had no idea where we wanted to live. Throughout the holidays, we went into escrow--then had to pull our offer days before closing due to the inspection. Chris's response? "If you guys want to change directions, we can start looking for new properties tomorrow." This was after he spent two hours inspecting the place himself, pushing the builder to add new gutters, fix the lawn's grading, and leading the blue tape charge on 3,500 square feet. Later, he talked us through properties that looked great in person but wouldn't appraise on paper, and ultimately, he helped us land the perfect place. Frankly, the guy knows every aspect of a real estate transaction inside and out. I don't know if he's so well off that time doesn't matter, but he had to lose money on us. He over-invests, and odds are, you'll make a good friend in the process--like we did. There are a bunch of other stories that highlight Chris's dedication, the depth of his network, and how ridiculously motivated he is. He's an awesome negotiator, incredibly patient, and an even better person.
