We just wanted to say thank you to Kerry for the great guidance, advice and assistance he gave us that enabled us to choose just the right home for us in Sun City. His knowledge was invaluable!
"
- Bob and Ricki P.
"
When we decided to move to Sun City from the Houston area we called several realtors and left messages for them to call us. Kerry was the only one that returned our call and we are glad he did! We had most of our contact with him over the phone or email and he was always ready to help us in anyway he could. We had our house on the market for over a year before it sold and Kerry kept us informed of what was happening here. Once we got a contract on our house we came to Georgetown and Kerry spent several days showing us different houses. We finally found the one we wanted and he helped us through the process of buying the house. We would never have made it without his help!

It's a challenge to be concise in describing all that Kerry has done for us. Kerry's ability, personality and people skills made us feel as if we were his only customer. This is further reinforced by his detailed knowledge of the area.
He is a real professional who cares very much for the people he serves, and delivers on everything he commits to and many that came as pleasant surprise. For example, spending several days introducing us to Georgetown and all that it offers as well as visiting the construction site, keeping us informed of its progress and sending pictures from dirt to home prior to our physical move into the area.
It's a pleasure to write this review and to thank Kerry for all his hard work in making this major transition in our lives fluid, fun and fruitful. As far as Kerry is concerned, a thank you is certainly an understatement! Without exception, we would recommend him to anyone anticipating buying or building a home.

Jessica was always warm and welcoming, creating a comfortable environment. I felt like she was doing all that she could to help make the experience less stressful. I would definitely work with her again.

Jessica went above and beyond in helping us relocate our family from KY to Austin, including but not limited to countless FaceTime walk-throughs at our convenience, an incredible attention to detail, and a genuine interest in helping us find a home that fits our needs. Choosing a home from 1000+ miles away is nerve-wracking in any case, but Jessica was constantly coming up with ways to make the distance practically irrelevant in how we chose our home. Personable, flexible, considerate and knowledgeable are words I would use to describe our experience with her!

Raquel is the best! She helped me find a home for my mother only weeks after my father passed away. She's professional, fast, inciteful, and caring. She listens to what you are looking for and then jumps on it. And, quite frankly, she knew what we wanted more than we did. You will get great advice and great expertise in an extremely timely manor. I have never met a real estate expert who knew more about literally everything than her. The best.

As first time home buyer, I was looking for a knowledgeable, professional and honest realtor. I met Raquel, who is a bilingual licensed real estate agent, who works with integrity, real passion and dedication. She is extremely patient and has walked me through the entire process of buying my house while making it the most seamless process! Raquel gave me very sound advice all along the way and helped me make informed decisions without imparting any of her own bias. Not only did she have a wealth of local knowledge but she was able to help me navigate the processes and gave me great recommendations to other local professionals. I will be recommending Raquel to anyone who is looking to buy/sell a house because I know you would undoubtedly be in the very best hands.

Mary Masters Stewart has been the best person we could ever have to help find our home. She is patient. She is kind. She is very thorough. Easy to understand. From the beginning when we were still in CT, she was always in communication with us. We have had quite an experience with home buying and Mary has explained situations that we felt were sketchy, into resolutions that made sense and made us feel more at ease. I highly recommend Mary as a realtor and even more importantly, Mary , is not only just a realtor, she is a person our son has titled her as Auntie Mary.......Thank you for having such a wonderful team member. Mary is absolutely spectacular!!!!!!!!!

Kristi helped my daughter buy her fist condo and our experience could not be better. I live in Florida and from here it was hard to help my daughter but Kristi made the experience of buying so easy. Your company is so fortunate to have someone like her representing you. I will definitely recommend her to anyone I know!

Frederick helped me buy my first house in Austin. Fred is amazing! He worked tirelessly with the builder to make sure I got the right home for the right price. He is truly on top of his game and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I moved to Austin from Kansas City for my fiance's job. Since we only had a month before moving, I was trying to find a house to rent as quickly as possible. After getting absolutely no where with other companies, I called Frederick Woodhouse and he was the first person that was actually polite AND helpful! I about cried from relief. Frederick was in constant contact with us every step of the way. He was SO helpful, friendly and trustworthy.

Working with Kristi Smith has been a true pleasure. She was able to help us successfully list and sale our home. Kristi and her team were great with setting expectations, time-frame, staging and walking us through the entire sale process. She was quick with responses to emails and texts to even the most remedial questions that my wife and I had. I don't think that we would have been able to get as much for our house had we been working with someone else.
As for our new home, that we are having built, Kristi has been a great with making sure that we are aware of the "Got yas" as we move through the building process. I would highly recommend Kristi Smith and her team at Austin Real Estate Experts.
