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!

With the purchases of both our homes, Amanda helped us navigate the bidding process so that we could make winning offers without overpaying.

Amanda has decades of experience and really knows her stuff, especially when it comes to understanding and increasing resale value with some basic remodeling, whether through contracted help or DIY projects. She was even kind enough to lend some of her ideas about remodeling, share some recommendations for contractors, and even gave me tips about how to put a rental property on the market. She really goes above and beyond the call of duty, and that is why she is my forever realtor!

When it comes to negotiation of situations she's the right person to have in your corner as both the buyer and seller because she knows what is right to make sure people enjoy their homes. The first home we purchased with her met all of our expectations and went up in value during the time we lived in it. I love that she was always available for questions and paperwork, went above and beyond all expectations prior to closing and was extremely professional and respected by the other agents. Mary Jane helped my husband and both find and sell our first home while we welcomed our two children into the world and not only was an incredible realtor but a true friend.

We started our home buying journey with a few realtors referred to us, but for one reason or…read moreanother, they didn't work out. Then we were recommended the Brinkman Team, and right from the start, they were responsive and professional. Choosing them turned out to be a great decision. We were assigned Joelle, and let me just say, she's a vibe for sure! From the first meeting, she was communicative, responsive, and honest. She toured multiple homes with us, pointing out issues like awkward layouts or homes that wouldn't suit us long term. Her honesty and advice were exactly what we needed. We finally came across a home we loved from the pictures and set up a tour. But that same evening, someone put in an offer, and it was showing as pending or active contingent depending on the various apps. This is where Joelle excelled, and I think this is the difference between an okay realtor and a great one. She encouraged us to go see it anyway, explaining that deals can fall through and it doesn't hurt to check it out. When we saw the home, it was by far the best one we'd looked at in our price range. Joelle went to bat for us, reaching out to the listing agent, staying on top of the situation, and sure enough, that buyer's contract fell through. The situation was a bit unusual, involving solar panels, but Joelle navigated it seamlessly. After the inspection, she walked us through every detail, helping us prioritize what to negotiate. In the end, she negotiated $40k off the list price! Nearing the end, the final appraisal came in above the negotiated price which was definitely a huge win for us! I bring all the above up because things can get messy, and you better hope you have a capable realtor to navigate through it. We were so lucky to have Joelle in our corner. Beyond the buying process, she connected us with a property management company for our current home and recommended contractors to prepare the new one before moving in. The only downside was the Compass app the team uses. It lacked functionality, didn't allow favorites in map view, and missed the neighborhoods we were interested in. All the homes we toured came from a different app, and we had to manually add them to Compass to keep Joelle informed. While this doesn't reflect on Joelle or the team directly, it was a bit of a frustration. Overall, Joelle and the Brinkman Team knocked it out of the park. If you're looking for a realtor who's honest, experienced, and client focused, Joelle is the one you want in your corner. Highly recommend!
