Raymond Day, with Blue Water Realty, has been amazing in helping me rent out my house quickly and…read morewithout any glitches. Without his help, things would have been so confusing and drawn out. Raymond advised me on matters such as rental rates, how to handle payments, getting the house ready for rental, listing and showing the house. Without much notice, we needed to rent our house out, and were moving out of state. Raymond made things so easy! He handled everything, and has been available and accessible during the whole process, as well as throughout the lease. I highly recommend Raymond if you are looking to rent your house out, trying to find a place to live, or even selling your house. I plan to use Raymond when I list my house for sale in the near future.

During the stressful times (because we all know selling a home can be stressful at times), he was right there by our side bringing us coffee gift cards if you can believe it! He answered our dozens of phone calls and text messages without delay and was very patient answering our many questions (we were selling our first home, so we had lots of questions). You can tell he empathizes with his clients. He seems to really understand what his clients are going through and we could tell that he genuinely cares. Not only that, he is a fighter. He fights for his clients...for their wishes, needs and investments. As if that wasn't enough, we were able to get 98% of our original asking price which was set at a price above the average in our particular area! We were very pleased abut that to say the least because we had more equity in the home than we thought - and it was thanks to Chris and his determination and hard working attitude. We would recommend Chris Frickel to any family, friend, neighbor or stranger because I know he would take great care of them. Happy selling and hunting!

David helped us to buy a foreclosed home that was owned by Freddie Mac. Buying a home from the big…read moreentity like Freddy Mac is very different from the traditional home buy. There is limited information available about some of these properties and all of the legal paperwork is highly slanted in favor of the bank. So my fiancé and I were nervous about the whole process. David always answered our silly questions and never made us feel as if we were being overly concerned. We had changing situations during the process and David was very kind in dealing with those changes and even recommended and got us a survey done at the last minute. He was always promptly available via email or text message. I would not hesitate to recommend him if you're looking to buy a place or sell your existing home.

My wife and I recently used Patrick to find our house in Pflugerville TX. We went on a wild ride…read morewith Patrick and experienced some very unusual and hairy situations during our home search and purchase. Patrick remained cool, calm, and collected throughout every situation. Patrick is infectiously optimistic and made our home buying experience an absolute joy. We felt as though Patrick was as invested in our search as we were and promptly answered all of our questions either immediately or through research within his network. I have worked with many realtors in the past and can definitively say that our experience with Patrick was heads and shoulders above all other realtor experiences. If you're looking for a house in the greater Austin area, do yourself a favor and call Patrick.

About this time last year, Sean was updating our home search database on a daily basis with new…read morelistings and patiently taking my husband and I to tour the ones that stood out. Our friends referred Sean to us after he helped them find their dream house. Tomorrow will be exactly one year from when we found our dream home in far south Austin, just listed that day and already toured three times before we squeezed in before the cut-off hour on a weeknight to see it. We knew instantly that we wanted it. Being first time home buyers, Sean coached us through the process, from making the first offer (that very day, day 0 on the market!), to submitting an escalation clause when we inevitably had to fight for the house against another offer, and all the many steps after that to close. We could reach him any time, day or night, with a text or a call. The convenience of digital signature forms kept the process moving and we closed within a month of making our offer. The process, though nerve wracking at times, was incredibly painless thanks to Sean's diligence, guidance and again, EXTREME PATIENCE with our million questions. He went above and beyond what we expected a realtor would and should do. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhoods throughout south Austin and taught us a few things about the development we moved into. He has since recommended a few contractors and vendors to help with home repairs, so his help continues to this day. If you're looking for a personable, honest and hard working realtor to guide you through the home search and buying process, I wholeheartedly recommend Sean McCormack.

My wife and completed our home buying odyssey in 2011... a long saga with tales of good and evil…read moreleading to a moment like no other... a brave new world, our home. In the not so distant past, evil Realtor overlords dominated the housing horizon. Time and again, we tried to shed these dream oppressors, but alas they seemed to be at every home purchase. Then came Sean... a seemingly unassuming, small town boy with big city dreams. While wandering away from his quaint village of "New York", he stumbled upon a strange, new, and decidedly weird world known as Austin. He sought a different path, one that only became clearer over time. By channeling his spirit in this sparse, south by southwestern community he found his calling... place people in their homes. Nurtured by the Austin oasis, this lone rebel fought the evil Empire for us. Our young warrior was not afraid to turn in a low bid or stand up to the dogmatic forces of proper real estate etiquette. "All they can say is no," said the boy as he became a master. From the vast hilly desert of SW Austin, through the hills and up to the highlands, Sean fought the good fight to put us in a home. Along the way, he dealt adamantly with real estate riffraff and fought for the little guy, establishing himself as a Realtor of the people. Now, as we move on to the next chapter in our lives, we'll forever be grateful to the agent who said "Those electrical boxes will catch on fire!" and "I wouldn't want a rat to fall on your face" and "Got you a free water heater." Truly a man of distinction. Thank you Sean Austin, and godspeed.

My boyfriend and I were looking to rent a house together and after working with another agent who…read moregave us limited time and support, we were feeling a little frustrated. That changed immediately when we got in touch with Nick. The second we decided to switch, he picked up the phone and was ready to go. He had us set up with a search portal right away, and when I sent him homes we were interested in, he had a whole tour of six houses lined up by the next day. He even printed everything out in a nice folder and sent us a Google Maps route of all the homes we were seeing. The level of thought and prep made the whole day smooth and stress-free. When he wasn't available to show a property (the one we ended up renting!), he made sure we had someone else we could trust to go with. Even while traveling, he stayed on top of everything--helping us get our application in quickly and making sure the lease was handled without a hitch. Nick made the entire process easy and reassuring. He was extremely responsive, had a strong sense of urgency, and was just so thoughtful in every part of the experience. He even made a point to show up to properties before us to get a feel for them and be ready to answer any questions. We're so happy in our new home and truly have Nick to thank for that. We'll absolutely work with him again!

We were referred by a friend to work with Tom and we are very happy we decided to work with him. We moved into Austin, TX from out of state and as new comers to the area Tom was a perfect person to work with. While we were shopping for neighbourhoods and houses he also introduced us to the city of Austin and let us know about many events, restaurants, and places the locals prefer. Working with him is a great way to acclimate to Austin and you also get a house in process. It's a great deal. He is well connected and it is a valuable thing to be part of his network in Austin. Whenever we needed to find a professional to help with anything we would ask Tom and he would guide us to the best people around. He is very direct and honest in telling you why the house you are looking at is or is not a good house to buy. In fact, he talked us out of several houses that we wanted to buy and once we were done with house buying we ended up with a house that we are much happier with than some of the earlier houses we thought we wanted. So he is not in a hurry to sell you a house and get get paid. He wants to make sure you get the right house above all else. He also knows very well how the system works and what needs to be done to get your offer to be the top offer when you do find the house you want. He makes great effort to be the preferred buyers agent to work with for the seller's side and give you the best chances of getting your house. It was a great experience working with him even in the frustrating Austin housing market where inventory does not meet the demand for the number of buyers.
