My wife and I have been working with Chris Torrey with Elite Realty Advisors since the middle of…read more2015 and are about to close on a home in Austin, TX. Since we live in Los Angeles, we were concerned about the entire home buying process given that we can't physically see every home we're interested in (let alone make an offer on a home site unseen). Chris has consistently gone above and beyond for us, emailing us walk-though videos, providing CMA's quickly and offering tons of insight about each neighborhood, property and how to manage the home buying process in general. Perhaps most importantly, given how competitive the Austin market is right now, he's provided us info quickly enough that we can make decisions with confidence and succeed in these borderline-ridiculous multiple offer situations. He also recommended vendors that have done a killer job with inspections and our home loan. He even helped us get more concessions from the sellers than we originally requested, which was a huge bonus! To say that buying in Austin is crazy right now would be an understatement, but Chris helped us ease into the market in an educated way and soon we'll be in the home we wanted most. If you're buying in the Austin area (especially if you're an out-of-towner), I highly recommend using Chris Torrey and Elite Realty Advisors.

We were never overwhelmed by the processes and never felt that any of our questions were too simple to ask. I have recommended Elite Realty Advisors to a friend recently selling their home. Wonderful experience on selling our home (in 7 days) to buying a home within a month in a highly volatile market where homes were flying off the market; as soon as we found one we were able to get in touch with Chris to schedule a tour. We simply cannot say enough positive things about Elite Realty Advisors and how seamless the entire process was.

David understood what we were looking for in a home, he educated us each step of the process all the way up to us signing the dotted line. What makes David standout from all the agents that you may meet is that he is THOROUGH, PATIENT, RESOURCEFUL and KNOWLEDGEABLE. Another KEY differentiator is that David is an experienced property manager. This means he will point out things that may be potential issues and to help you avoid pitfalls and SAVE you money in the end. Not to mention he has lots of contacts who do quality work from home inspection, mortgage lending, painter, hvac, electrician. David can provide you insight and a rough estimate on cost to repair, replace or renovate. At the end of the day David is someone you can trust to help in your quest to purchase a home and I HIGHLY recommend him!

I worked with David to purchase a home in the Austin area. I was purchasing from out of town, and…read morenever having been to Austin before, the process of beginning to look for a place to live was daunting and overwhelming. I was terrified. That all changed when I met David. He was referred to me by a friend, and good lord I am I glad I took that referral. I spent a weekend in Austin just looking for property, and David dedicated every waking moment of that weekend to driving me around town, calmly and diligently explaining each and every neighbord and location. He even picked me up and drove me to the airport! Not only is his work ethic, generosity and 'go above and beyond' style unlike any I had ever seen in an agent, but his advice and expertise in the nuances of location, neighborhood, investment potential & future area development potential were profoundly helpful. I'd spent months researching real estate in Austin, but I learned more in 2 days with David than I ever would have been able to on my own. In the end, everything worked out and we found a great place - all thanks to David. I could not recommend him more highly. Great person, great agent, smart, savvy, honest and genuinely cares about and wants to help his clients. 10/10.

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.

He always picks up the phone and never made us feel bad for asking questions. He also fought for us when a buyer tried to low-ball us on the sale of our house and he also got us money back from the sellers of our current home after the home inspection. He's found two homes for us in incredibly hot neighborhoods. We would definitely use him again.

He was incredibly knowledgeable and always knew what to ask the builder, even when we had no idea what questions we should be asking. He checked in with us regularly, kept us informed every step of the way, and handled all the details so we always felt supported throughout the process. Looking back, I honestly can't imagine going through this experience without him! If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and will advocate for you from start to finish, we can't recommend Brandon highly enough!

TL;DR Brandon is one…read moreof those people that go above and beyond in every capacity. We ran into so many hurdles in our first home buying but Brandon fought for us every step of the way. I highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking to purchase a home. Extended Review: Brandon met with us and showed us many properties that fit within our budget and were what we were looking for. After a bit of searching, we found a great new home build in which we were satisfied with. We had quite a few hiccups when it came to our billing. Item after item popped up and it made us quite anxious. There were multiple times where we thought that we might have to wait and buy a home at a later date. Brandon was there though with ideas, ways to deal with our issues creatively, and to help us get our home NOW instead of later. We were so thrilled when we were finally able to close on our home. If you thought this was the end of the review, no no no. There is ever more craziness that is about to unfold!! Our builder had an initial delay but it was no issue. Brandon let us know and with a lot of time in advance to prepare, it was fine. The day before our appointment (as we were purchasing out of state) we flew on the day before. As we were waiting for our next flight, we got a call from Brandon. The builders had delayed it again! Not even a day before letting us know!! With some annoyance, we rescheduled but once again Brandon was fighting for us. He reached out to the builders and fought for us to get additional benefits and even got us our closing cost reduced. Overall, I cannot thank Brandon enough for all the hard work, determination, and perseverance throughout our buying experience. He's definitely someone who will get you into your home!! 100% recommend!!

She pays great attention to details, which is super important because the process of buying and selling a home involves a lot of deadlines, details, juggling and stress. For us, knowing that we have an expert looking out for us, and what's in OUR best interest, has given us great comfort AND three successful transactions. I feel that Lisa's years of experience from being in the mortgage industry, a Realtor, a builder and a remodeler ALL come together to really help her clients get a level of consultation that few Realtors can provide.

As my listing agent, Lisa's eye for design artfully staged the home. (I still enjoy looking through those staging photos.) She did the heavy lifting coordinating with contractors making the stressful selling process a breeze. Her instincts and negotiation skills resulted in the home selling for thousands over asking during a luke warm market. I trusted and believed in Lisa's abilities as a seasoned home builder that I used her again to purchase my first new construction. She was fierce to call out builder issues and kept me informed of the construction process. Nothing caught us by surprise. Regardless of which side of the deal we were on, my needs were always her top priority. She made me feel like I was her only client. She never missed a call, always responded to email/text within the hour and always took extra time to help put me at ease and better understand the process. I am so grateful for Lisa! I can't imagine buying or selling a home with anyone else!
