We are pretty young and new at this whole process, and Julie has helped us answer every small and "dumb" question along the way with grace and patience, even if we ask her the same question a million times. Julie has sustained a relationship with us throughout our time being in Austin, even when we were not looking to buy, she keeps her community in touch and up to date, with details like notes and kind gestures. She truly cares about us as people, and we've built a great relationship over the years. When we started casually looking for a new home late last year, we took Julie all over Austin and surrounding areas as we were undecided on location. She drove all over with us, weekend after weekend, until we found the right neighborhood for us. She gave us her time in what seemed like fully dedicated space to us and our needs! We felt like star clients, even at our budget range which was not that of star clientele, and we truly appreciated that. I highly recommend Julie, her experience, dedication, and kindness is unmatched, and I know she's been through every scenario, helping us strategize and taking so much of the stress out of what can be a very stressful process.

After getting to know Julie personally and hearing so many great things about her as both a person and an agent, we continued to be impressed with her. She was data-driven, on top of her industry and market, had key relationships across the region and she was easy to partner with. She was open and honest with us from our very first meeting to the last, particularly around the shifting market trends in ATX and nationally. Throughout the showing of our home, not one ball was ever dropped. Our confidence never waned and she was always in control. Julie collected a lot of insights and other critical data points from the various showings of our home, compiling the information and sharing it with us throughout each week. She followed up on every lead, worked with us to help manage our schedules with conflicts arose on our end, and was there with us on closing. She went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us stage and sell our home, always making herself available to answer questions accurately and in detail. Julie did a superb, seamless job, treating us as her neighbor and friend, while providing excellent service to us as her client. We give her our highest recommendation for people looking to maximize value on the sale of their home from a trusted advisor.

Kathy was my property manager for a house I was renting in South Austin…read more The short version is: I would never ever, ever, ever recommend renting a property from Kathy. She is a terrible landlord. Where do I even start on this review... All the negative reviews she has about communication are 100% true. She will ghost you on maintenance requests CONSTANTLY. When she needed something she needed it same day. When we needed something we wouldn't hear back for days, weeks, or at all. She would take upwards of a month to fix many things and if she did she would do it the cheapest and most half assed way possible. Here's a list of some of the things that happened while living in her rental property: 1. When I moved in, bathroom had black mold on the walls near the shower. I reported when I first moved in. A handy man eventually came over and just painted over it. The mold inevitably came back and I had to wait days for her to send someone to rip out the drywall to actually fix the mold problem. 2. Our kitchen sink was clogged for months. She blew us off about it when we told her draino wasn't working and we needed a plumber. After about a month of asking for help, she comes over and discovers there's a clog deep in the main pipe. Her handy man cuts out a giant square of drywall in our laundry room where the clog is. They accidentally burst the pipe and spray gross drainage water all over our laundry room and into our garage. They then proceed to barely clean up their mess and left it for us to clean. After they patched the broken pipe, Kathy waited another month to send someone out to patch the giant hole in our wall. Her excuse was that the handy man had a cold for the past month. 3. Our dishwasher hardly worked at all until it eventually broke. She refused to send someone out to fix it at first claiming "the dishwasher is brand new. It's only two years old." Despite us telling her it doesn't even turn on. It took several weeks to get a new dish washer. 4. This one is the worst of all. In February, because of the freeze a tree fell and took out a power line to our house. This ended up causing an electrical fire in the garage storage room. We were lucky enough to notice the fire before it spread and the fire department put it out. But it did render part of the garage unusable through fire/water damage. When you have an electrical fire the city turns off your water and electricity until the home is deemed safe to live in. While we were staying elsewhere, I asked Kathy about pro rating rent, since we had paid rent the day of the fire and couldn't live in the house we paid for. As soon as I asked about rent proration, she ghosted me for four entire days. She cited a family emergency as the reason she left us high and dry for four days. It would have taken her 10 seconds to text us but nope. Just total radio silence while we were waiting around to hear when we could go back to the place we pay rent to live in. My room mates and I were displaced for 9 days total before we got the city to turn the power back on, even though fire damage wasn't fixed yet. I had to threaten legal action before she agreed to pro rate 9 days worth of rent for the next month. From day one of the fire, she started acting really shady about getting the house fixed claiming she "has a guy with the city that can get the permits process moved along". I spoke to the fire marshall about that and he essentially told me that isn't how things work and that I need to call the code department myself to ensure my house was fixed properly according to code. Kathy was clearly livid that she now had to fix the house legally and became even more passive towards us. Months after the fire, she told me that because I called the code department that it was my fault the house was still partially burned. Which according to the Austin Code Department Supervisor I spoke to, isn't the case at all. Getting a code violation does not mean repairs take over five months to start. The fire happened February 1st. I finally moved out June 30th. During that entire period of time, the burnt garage was never fixed and she still made us pay the full amount in rent every month. Imagine paying 100% rent for less than 100% of a usable home. When I would ask about ANY update regarding repairs she would act annoyed that I would bother her with such at thing. I'm certain that she purposefully never fixed the house as punishment. If you read her canned responses to other negative reviews, I just want to say they are all bullsh*t. She doesn't provide "superior service" to anyone renting from her. She knows that as a landlord she has the upper hand over her tenants and she acts accordingly. Whether out of greed or incompetence, she's a bad person. Her tenants are nothing more to her than her bottom line.

Why we liked working with Barbara (and her assistant, Sierrah): * Barbara knows what we are looking for. During initial phone calls, Barbara really try to understand what we are looking for and use that as criteria to help us looking for homes. The communication was great and we feel we aligned very well on the requirement and criteria. *Barbara is very familiar with Austin area and she is very resourceful. We have been looking for homes on Redfin for months on our own. Then Barbara recommended several homes to us which we overlooked initially but end up better than what we found by ourselves. She also have a great relationship with other agent so was able to get insight before home get onto market. Considering the competitive market at this moment, it really helped us to eventually get the home we bought. * Barbara's assistant, Sierrah is amazing. As a team, Barbara and Sierrah were always available to us and would always promptly respond to email / calls / texts. Sierrah is very dedicated, organized and on top of everything. They are both extreme patient and responsive, not only before the sell, also after we have questions after the sell. What you look for when you choose a realtor may be different for everyone, but we can vouch that with Barbara you will get someone who will do her best to help you sell/buy your home.
