My wife and I felt totally supported by Ashley as she helped us evaluate the many offers we were getting. We didn't know much about the "ins and outs" of selling a house, so Ashley guided us step by step through the process. She carefully pointed out critical decisions we needed to make and showed us the differences between the offers we were getting. We felt very secure as Ashley guided us through the whole process. Ashley is a positive force in the real estate business and we recommend her to anyone who is considering buying or selling property.

Ashley was our realtor for our first home purchase in 2017, and she was the first person we reached…read moreout to when we explored the idea of selling in 2022. By early 2023, she sold that first home for us and helped us purchase our second. I have the utmost respect for Ashley and unparalleled trust in her knowledge of the city of Austin, the real estate market and beyond. Buying and selling simultaneously sounded overwhelming, but Ashley confidently guided us all the way through the process. We had seamless transactions on both ends, and couldn't be happier with the outcome. She is quick to respond and her enthusiasm for her work and for the city is palpable. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a realtor with deep experience and a near-Encyclopedic knowledge of Austin.

We had a great experience working with Carson at Bramlett Partners as our buyer's agent! As…read morefirst-time homebuyers, there was a lot we didn't know, but Carson patiently guided us through the entire process and answered every question we had. During negotiations, he helped us put together a competitive offer when the seller was being difficult. He also helped with last-minute closing cost adjustments that saved us some money out-of-pocket, and has continued to answer our questions even after closing. We really appreciated his help through the process!

We are so fortunate to have worked with Dylan Hite for our long-distance move to Austin. He was an…read moreinvaluable resource in helping us narrow down the best residential areas for our family and scheduling showings on short notice. He was also an incredibly responsive communicator, which was critical given our aggressive timeline. Moving from the Northeast and unfamiliar with the area, we relied on Dylan for guidance throughout the process, and he went above and beyond to answer all our questions and help facilitate solutions. Our experience with him was truly phenomenal - very professional and just an all-around great guy. We wholeheartedly recommend Dylan to others and would love to work with him again in the future!!

From timely communication, professional process, and having things go exactly as promised and planned, it really makes a huge difference with a stressful move like this.

She all the work without requiring me to meet face-to-face, generally by phone email and e-doc and handled all interactions with getting the tenants deposit and lease signed.

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. Our home in Travis Heights was sold in less than a week and I still can't believe the final sales price. Side note: After staging, I considered keeping the house as an Airbnb, but the price was too good.

Mark truly did an amazing job on selling our duplex! Our property was a unique one, and he was…read morequickly able to assess the best way to market it. 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!

My wife and I have always dreamed of owning a home together, but with no prior experience buying,…read morethe process felt overwhelming and sometimes out of reach. Three years ago, we cautiously dipped our toes into the Pflugerville market, exploring model homes and new construction communities, quickly realizing just how challenging it could be to begin the process. We met Fara through mutual friends who, at the time, had just gone through the home buying process with her. Even as we explored various neighborhoods, Fara met us in-person for walk-throughs to nail down exactly what we wanted, even though we still weren't ready. Even then, she never pressured us or rushed the process. Fast forward three years later, we were interested in a specific lot and knew we had to bring Fara in - she stepped right back in without missing a beat. Fara was always available to answer questions, take calls, calm nerves, and simply check in to make sure we were doing okay. She even helped us navigate contract conversations with our landlord at the time, ensuring the move-out process was done by the book. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless, exciting, and even fun. Fara brought professionalism, longtime market expertise, and advocacy to our first home buying experience and we could not be more grateful for her support and guidance during this time. Her patience is unmatched and you can tell she truly values her relationship building in her business. Watching Fara work was truly impressive. She is a fierce professional who fights for what's right, while always keeping her clients' wants, needs, and best interests at the center of everything. We never once felt overlooked or unsure, instead we felt protected, informed, and genuinely cared for. We cannot recommend Fara Kosari enough. If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, dedicated, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what she does, Fara is the one. We are endlessly grateful for her and could not imagine going through this journey with anyone else! The BEST first-time home buying experience!

She and her team ensured we had all of the information needed at each step to make the best decisions for us and that we thoroughly understood our options. We are especially grateful for their availability and the ability to ask questions whenever needed. Fara's knowledge of Austin neighborhoods is comprehensive and informed, which helped us to find the home perfect for us. This was my second time working with Fara and I recommend her often!

We've worked with Nicole on three transactions now, and I can't recommend her and her team enough…read more She first helped me buy my house in 2020, during a VERY different Austin market. This year, we went to an open house on our own and texted her on Easter Sunday that we wanted to make an offer. She jumped right in, helped us navigate a multiple-offer situation, and we got the house. A few months later, she helped us sell my first house in a much tougher market. She helped us figure out what was actually worth doing before listing and how to price it, and we were under contract by the end of the first weekend. Her whole team was great to work with, too. Haley on the buying side and Candy on the selling side were ON IT with emails, information, deadlines and every question we threw at them, no matter how asinine. We've now bought two houses and sold one with Nicole, across some very different Austin markets. The fact that we've gone back to her every time probably says it best. We'd absolutely work with her and her team again.

Nicole and Haley did an amazing job finding us a new home in Dripping Springs. Not only was the…read moresearch process efficient, the negotiation and closing were all handled so professionally with incredible written and verbal communication at all times. We felt we were taken great care of the entire process and we couldn't have been happier. I highly recommend that you reach out to Nicole, Haley, and the rest of the team at Legacy for any Austin residential real estate needs.

I cannot say enough good things about Victoria and my experience with Smart City! I've worked with…read moreVictoria for the past two years, and she has gone above and beyond every single time to help me find an apartment that actually feels like me. Apartment hunting is incredibly overwhelming and stressful, the options out there are endless, and a lot of apartments are deceiving, but Victoria somehow makes the entire process feel so much less scary and so much more manageable. She is patient, attentive, incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about finding the right home for me -- not just getting me into an apartment. I trust Victoria completely, which says a lot. I've sent her paragraphs of apartment requirements, questions, and probably way too many messages at all hours of the day, and she has always been incredibly patient and helpful. She listens to what I'm looking for, remembers the little details, and puts real thought into finding options that fit my needs. She has exceeded every expectation I could have had for an apartment locator. One thing that really stands out to me is that I ended up signing for an apartment that unfortunately no longer works with apartment locators. Even though Victoria wasn't able to be involved in the process in the same way, she has continued to be incredibly supportive and helpful. That really says everything about the kind of person she is. She genuinely cares about her clients and wants them to be happy, even when there's nothing in it for her. This was my second year working with Victoria, and the fact that I continue to come back to her speaks for itself. She has made what could be one of the most stressful parts of moving feel exciting and even fun. Victoria has set the bar incredibly high, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for an apartment in Austin. She is the first person I would send my friends, family, and coworkers to without hesitation. I'm so grateful for everything Victoria has done for me over the past two years. She is truly an incredible apartment locator, and Smart City is lucky to have someone like her representing the company. If you're looking for an apartment, ask for Victoria -- you will not regret it!

Jordan, was nice enough. But I had to give him the area I was interested in. He did very little…read morelegwork other than tell me what I already had found out. I gave Jordan the phone number to the management properly that I eventually rented from! I would not recommend Jordan or his company for two reasons. 1.) After explaining to Jordan what I was looking for a lower crime neighborhood and less transient people. Jordan recommended The Summit apartments where residents expressed numerous transient issues. (Jordan does not know the properties at all he is just in sell mode to get his commission) 2.) They, Jordan and Smart City, are just interested in "closing the deal" and have very little sway with the properties. They, Smart City, doesn't hit multiple properties. Smart city just pushes the properties on a preselected list where I suspect Smart City gets the most commission. The leadership cannot be that great if this is their business plan! Push the properties on their preselected list! Like I said I had to go to the neighborhood that I liked, 45th and Guadalupe, and get a flier from one of the properties and then call the properties listed on the flier. I ended getting the apartment on my own. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.. Smart City only wants to close the deal and collect full commission on the least amount of effort on their part. I will not do business again with Smart City! Such a waste of time!

Big shout out to my realtor Jody Lockshin (who I've known since I first moved to Austin 10 years…read moreago) for going above and beyond in every category to get me the type of home I've always wanted. She worked tirelessly on my behalf and was directly responsible for several seller concessions and fixes before I signed the papers. If you ever need a realtor in the area, she's excellent. She's been in business for over 40 years and is the owner and founder of Habitat Hunters, Inc., which is one of the most well-known and well-respected Real Estate firms in Austin. After working with her as my realtor, it's pretty clear why she was able to build such a successful company.
