i can't imagine there being a better realtor in austin than ellen. we have worked with many in the…read morepast in different areas and have had mediocre to horrible experiences- until we met ellen. she has completely changed our perception of what a realtor can be and do. she absolutely loves what she does- which makes going out to look at places really enjoyable. beyond the standard chauffer role we were accustomed to, she would give us tons of invaluable information while looking- rundowns on the neighborhoods, possible downsides and upsides to certain streets (things we would never think to consider or ask about), mortgage information, relevent city planning updates, school facts. ellen also educated us on what to look for inside of homes beyond the aesthetics. she would notice details and make sure to point them out to us (good points as well as possible red flags). we really appreciated that she was never afraid to give us her honest opinion. after close to a year of searching, we were considering making offers on a few homes which, in retrospect, were not right for us. instead of talking these homes up to make the sale quicker, ellen told us she felt like we would be compromising by buying and why. she has a great handle on the austin market and made the entire process enjoyable and easy- we can't say enough good about her.

I had the pleasure of working with Ellen again for our 4th transaction together and it was yet…read moreagain another great experience! She really gets what I'm looking for (and what I'm not), I can trust her to pay attention to the details and act on them, and her partnerships have proven to be solid! In this aggressive market, Ellen was always on top of it for me - she went above and beyond (as usual) in previewing properties to not waste my time, was always quick to notify me of a good fit and flexible with my hectic schedule to show MANY properties! I honestly can't even remember how many properties we saw and got into negotiations with and every time Ellen did it with her normal professional yet personable mix that makes her stand out - she's just so nice to work with! I wouldn't want anyone else representing me though the whole deal. Even after we've closed she continues to guide me in finding necessary partners for home projects. I can't say enough good things about Ellen...I'm lucky to have found her! Thank you Ellen!

I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate agent.

We have bought and sold homes in the past, and it has never been an experience I enjoyed, until we…read moreworked with Michelle. We were wanting to sell our existing home, and purchase a new one all in the span of a few months. This is something we had been putting off for a long time, worrying about all the hassle involved. This is where Michelle stepped in. I basically told her "I wish I could disappear for two months, come back and everything is done. I'd love it if someone could just do this all for me". To which she said, "that's why I'm here." She was fantastic in every step of the process. She has a great network for everyone from photographers to handymen to appraisers to even cleaning crews. With her help we received 4 offers within hours of being on the market, and ended up selling for 30k more that what we had originally thought we would list at, and ended up being the highest sale price in the history of my neighborhood. The buying process was just as great! Unfortunately we were in a deadline to get into a home before I left the country on business for 3 weeks. We found a home we love and she made that happen. Now we are in a dream school district for our kids, in a home that we love and couldn't be happier. I would (and will) recommend Michelle to anyone in Austin even remotely interested in buying or selling a home!

This was our 3rd home project…read morewith Kasey and as always, she brings all of her expertise, knowledge, experience and dedication to each transaction. We were moving from Austin to Manor and she guided us on choosing the best builder, floor plan and lot. Kasey always has "future resale value" in mind, so every decision/ recommendation is made with making sure you get the most return on your investment, should you want to sell in the future. Kasey also worked on the listing and lease contract for our Austin home and the perfect tenants were vetted and moved in, just a few weeks after we moved out. Kasey will always be our realtor and if you're smart, you'll make her your forever realtor too!

She is extremely knowledgeable about the Austin market, and is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure you find the perfect home. How many realtors do you know that will leave a walkthrough with a client to go and pick up their kids for them? Just so they could spend some extra time going through the home?! This is the level of service that you can expect when you decide to use Mrs. Dalby for your real estate needs. Highly recommend!!

I am a real estate broker in San Diego, CA and my sister was relocating to Austin so I set out to…read morefind a realtor for her. I generally don't use Yelp for that purpose but on a whim, I opted to check out the reviews. I found several who looked promising and contacted all three. Through telephone/email interviews I narrowed my choice to Joanne. So glad that I did as we only had 2 days to find a house and Joanne and William worked tirelessly the entire weekend. In fact, it was a game day on Saturday and that's a big deal in Texas, but they chose to still work with us. They showed us properties in north, south and central as my sister wasn't familiar with the area and wanted to review all options. It was a successful weekend as she bought a house and even secured a short closing just before the Thanksgiving holiday. Being a realtor I am picky myself, so rest assured you will be in competant hands with the Violet Crown Realty team.

Please note that the below response from JoAnne is dishonest about the relationship between her and…read moreus (renters). We worked very regularly with her on ALL of our concerns with the condo/ maintenance requests throughout the entire 2.5 years as renters of the property (we only worked with the owners on a limited basis to send rent payments) and have the emails to validate this relationship. But nonetheless, it's good to see that this is something they will take seriously and hopefully things change for the better. BEWARE!!!!!!!! PLEASE READ IF YOU PLAN TO RENT FROM OWNERS THAT ARE USING VIOLET CROWN AS THEIR PROPERTY MANAGERS. I worked with JoAnne as the Property Manager for the condo that I was leasing for the past 2.5 years and it was an up and down journey. Sometimes she was really kind (for example, she put together my coffee table and lowered rent for us on behalf of the owners one of the years that we were re-signing as an incentive for us to stay) and other times she would be insensitive (she once yelled at me on the phone because she was having a bad day while I tried to calmly sort out some requests we had for the condo and my roommate recorded this conversation; we were appalled). In addition, she sent passive aggressive emails and we had to do the best we could to bite our tongues. In the words of Maya Angelou - "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." I will never forget how JoAnne made me feel. It was not as pleasant of an experience as I had hoped it would have been but there is a silver lining in all of this...my roommates and I got almost our entire security deposit back. I hope this info will help some of you (renters especially) as you consider renting from owners that have Violet Crown Realty as their property managers.

In general, the experience of cooperation was positive. We have already applied here before, so we…read moredecided to work with the same agency again when selling the house. Everything went quite organized: documents, screenings, communication - everything was kept within the working framework. Tips for preparing the object for sale were useful, and negotiations were confident. There were some points where I would like a little more flexibility in approaches or clarity in terms, but this did not critically affect the result. In general, the experience remained good and can be recommended to those who are looking for a realtor with experience and a practical approach.
