When we began our search for a home, we thought we were looking for a realtor. What we found in…read moreLaura Tomaszewski was so much more. From day one, Laura took the time to truly get to know us as people. She listened carefully to what we liked and didn't like, understood our goals, and took the time to learn what was most important to us in finding the right home. She didn't just help us search for houses... she became a trusted advocate who genuinely championed our interests every step of the way. Laura went above and beyond in ways we never expected. Every property we considered was thoroughly vetted, not only for its features and condition, but also for potential issues that could affect us down the road. Whether it was physical concerns with the property, deed restrictions, HOA requirements, or anything else that might impact our future enjoyment of the home, Laura dug deep and made sure we had the information we needed to make confident decisions. What impressed us most was the level of care she brought to the process. She evaluated each home as if her own family were purchasing it. We never felt pressured. We never felt rushed. We always felt protected, informed, and supported. Buying a home can be stressful, but Laura made the experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Her professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, and genuine care for her clients set her apart. She isn't simply selling homes... she's helping people create the next chapter of their lives. We are incredibly grateful for everything Laura did for us and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want someone who will truly have your best interests at heart, Laura Tomaszewski is the person you want by your side. Thank you, Laura, for helping us find not just a house, but a place we are excited to call home.

James reviewed our house, told us what we need to do, listed it and sold our house in less than a week! We could not be happier with James! If we ever move back to the area we will 100% go with James again and highly recommend you do as well!!

Where do I start with James! LOL. I'm not even sure how I can describe all he's done for us…read morebecause its frankly gone beyond the scope of his job as a real estate agent. We met James by chance after requesting to view a home on realtor.com. We immediately liked his style and personality and decided to work with him full-time to sell our home and purchase a new home (we just closed today, yipeee). He is one of the most friendly, understanding and authentic people I have ever met and made the entire home buying/selling experience about as seamless as I can imagine it being. We were in a pickle because we needed to sell our home before buying a new one and in THIS crazy housing market, a "contingency" is just unattractive and difficult. We learned that the hard way when we put an offer on the first house we loved and didn't make the cut. Thankfully, with James spot on pricing and beautiful photos etc, he sold our home in TWO DAYS! He got us an outstanding deal that we just couldn't believe. We were baffled by how savvy he was in negotiating things for our sale. We were extremely happy to say the least! James was always available when we needed him or had any questions about the process of buying. A home popped up on his radar and before the listing agent even had all the photos, he had scheduled a showing for us. He knew we would love the home and he was right lol. Before midnight that night, he had written up an offer and submitted it. We were so fast even the sellers were shocked. We ended up getting this home (we are SOOOO excited) and we sincerely feel that it was because he was very punctual and attentive that we were able to be first in line. The home received many other offers but with James' help we got it all done. Beyond all of this, James has become a friend. He golfs with my husband and is truly an enjoyable person to be around. We are so glad we met him! Definitely will recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor as you will not find a more attentive real estate agent. He makes you feel like you are his only client!

Working with Teresa Carson was a wonderful experience. As I searched for a home in a new city,…read moreTeresa offered her wisdom and insight without ever trying to steer me in any one direction. She was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also thoughtful, forthright, and always respectful of my time (which was very limited) and my budget...also very limited. What really set Teresa apart was her sharp eye and honesty. She likely saved me from a serious financial loss (and potential health problems) by identifying a critical issue in a home I was ready to make an offer on. That alone showed how much she truly had my best interests at heart and not just to make a sale. Beyond that, Teresa was responsive, attentive, and a lot of fun to work with. Thanks to her, I was able to make one of the biggest decisions for me and my family with confidence and peace of mind. I highly recommend having Teresa on your team--whether you're buying, selling, renting, or even building a home.

It's unfortunate with all the good reviews for this place, we did not receive that same service…read more However, this is specifically about Michael Said who represents himself as part of this business. We were waiting on a house to move into and needed a temporary place to stay. Initially we felt fortunate to find this place as it was reasonably priced and we could rent it for six months. It was freshly painted but infested with cock roaches. Each time we notified Mr. Said, he did ultimately arrange for pest control. There were light switches that did not work, a closet door that would come off it's rails, missing drawer handles and we would find mice/rat feces in some cupboards in the kitchen. Mr. Said would have a maintenance person come out and fix things but typically not without multiple requests. But, we were only going to be there for a few months and we figured we would just tough it out. We barely unpacked since we were going to move again in a few short months. More than 30 days prior to our lease ending, we did notify Mr. Said that we would be leaving and not extend the lease. We also requested a "walk through" with Mr. Said. While he acknowledged the 30 day notice, he never responded to the walk through. On December 19th, more than ten days before the lease would end, we vacated the property but Mr. Said would not agree to meet. Ultimately, we left the keys under the door mat on December 21 as per Mr. Said's request. This was a full days before the lease was to expire and more than enough time for Mr. Said to walk through himself or with me to identify anything he felt should be addressed before the leased ended on December 31. But Mr. Said did not do this. On January 28, 2023 we received our refund and it was minus: - $150 for cleaning - $300 for "touch up paint" - $300 "yard cleaning & dead landscaping replacement" Given the constant cock roaches and rodent feces, I find the $150 cleaning to be excessive but we are not asking for that back. However, the place was newly painted and we never hung anything on the walls. There was absolutely not damage done to any walls that would necessitate any "touch up painting". The $300 is absurd and the lease specifically states "normal wear and tear expected". But there were no areas that needed touch up paint. It was winter when we moved out; Austin had just experienced several days of temperatures in the teens. You cannot possibly ascertain between landscaping that was dead versus dormant. However, there is no landscaping so I'm not even sure what they are claiming. There are two trees in the front and a big tree in the back. There are no shrubs, flowers or what they call "landscaping". While there might have been leaves on the ground, that's unavoidable at that time of year and no matter how often we could have cleaned up leaves from the trees, there would always be leaves. But there was no landscaping that arises to the $300 deduction Mr. Said took. I am a disabled Veteran who served 30 years for this country and it's appalling when people like Mr. Said take advantage of people. Again, I am posting this as Mr. Said represents himself as Realty Austin and for anyone who might do business with them, just to be aware of the practices of some of their people, specifically Mr. Said.
