Stephanie Stuart
Home Owner
I happened upon Stephanie Stuart by chance. I used her services to repair my credit to buy a house. I decided to have her as my realtor, and I am more than satisfied with her services. Stephanie has gone above and beyond in helping my family and me find a house. It is clear to me that she has MY bests interest in mind, and is not just looking for a paycheck. I was able to contact her at anytime with any questions or concerns I had during my experience. She almost always answers her phone and when she doesn't she is very quick to call back. She is very professional and keeps on top of everything. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house or repair their credit.

If I ever need another realtor in the future, I will always go through Bryan. The process of finding a new home is never easy, but Bryan made it simple and stress-free. He assisted us in finding our new home and we could not be more ecstatic. He knew exactly what we were looking for and found us the perfect place! My wife and I highly recommend Bryan to anyone looking for realtor service in the Austin area!

Ann Banos
After helping us to stage, price and show our home, Ann helped us to understand and navigate the offer consideration process and get our home under contract after only a single weekend of showings.
While at first we decided to rent, we realized halfway through the process that we wanted to buy a new home instead. Ann took our decision in stride and exhibited her calm, friendly and professional demeanour throughout even though we were very anxious at times.
In the end, we found a wonderful home that met all our criteria and more, in a beautiful area and closed the deal on time and within budget!
Ann is a top caliber individual, both personally and professionally, and we are very grateful that she was the one who shepherded us through this daunting process that concluded in a happy ending.

Ann was great in helping my family and I find a great home, yet again. We trust her with every home we have bought or sold. Her ability to understand what we were looking for aesthetically, backed by her professionalism makes her unrivaled in many ways as a great agent. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who will make an otherwise stressful event into a smooth transition. She works hard, and it shows.

Bryan gave us the best buying experience we’ve ever had. Now... not to imply I buy all the time, but I’ve bought 5 houses so far so I pretty much know enough to make a good recommendation. Bryan is not only very knowledgeable about the whole process, he is also clearly on YOUR side. At this point, I figured out that the Selling realtor is trying to get the seller to take less money, and the buying realtor is trying to get the buyer to pay more money - completely NOT what you expect from this agent setu. With Bryan - it wasn’t like that at all. He is clearly on your side. Making sure that group get what you want, at the price you want, and that you don’t end up with a big problem. If we buy again - we will be using Bryan and we will be recommending him to all our friends.

She was a pleasure to work with and very responsive to all of our questions and concerns.

Patty was amazing! This was our 3rd house that we've purchased and she by far exceeded our other agents. Not only did she help us find what we were looking for in our price range, but she went above and beyond and helped us with many other things that we had no clue about such as LCRA restrictions and requirements. Patty has a way in working with the sellers too, so in addition to getting them to pay the closing costs, she worked with them diligently to get our home in our budget frame and have them pick up the cost of things that we wanted to see done. Patty is very knowledgeable on all aspects of purchasing a home and I highly recommend her. I know now that it is extremely important to have an agent that is very seasoned and tenured in their field. Thank you so much for all you do Patty!

Dar is an absolutely wonderful agent. She is knowledgeable about the market, friendly and welcoming, and a true professional. I was most impressed and grateful for her recommendations in staging our home - she personally stopped by the house to help me stage it, and the recommendations she made for prepping our home for sale were absolutely on point. Dar's advise helped us to ready our home for sale without costing us a ton of extra money, time, or stress.
Dar priced our home perfectly, helped us stage it well, and worked hard for us to get the best selling experience we could imagine - 7 offers in 48 hours!
On top of her exceptional professionalism and knowledge of the Austin-area market, Dar's personality can't be beat. Thank you, Dar, for such a seamless selling experience!

Which is exactly what you want in a realtor! She also personalized the whole process. It's super intimidating buying a house for the first time, and she made it so comfortable. I love her so much! Highly recommended!!

We met Darlene at a school function for our daughter months before we actually seriously considered changing homes. When my wife got a new job in a new state and we decided to sell our home in Cedar Park, we remembered Darlene and reached out.
We are so glad we did! Darlene and Bryan made the process of selling our home about as fluid, painless, and quick as I could have possibly hoped for. When we first said we were ready to sell, they visited our home and walked us through how we should stage it: what to leave out, what to pack up, what to change. And it all paid off, because by the time we hit the market, we had multiple offers on our home in less than 24 hours, and the offer we chose was well above our asking price. Yes, the Austin-area market is scalding hot, but I strongly doubt we'd have had so much traffic on our home without Darlene and Bryan's help. They stayed in touch with us throughout the process, were always available to answer questions, and even took some of their own time to help us stage and pack.
And top of it all, they even put us in touch with a realtor in our new city who helped us find our next home.
I cannot recommend Darlene and Bryan enough! They are incredible, friendly, motivated, knowledgeable people who really simplified a complex, terrifying, and stressful process for us.

Ann Banos
Austin home owner
I first met Ann Banos in 2005 when I and three other partners (who were planning a rental investment in Austin) called upon Ann to assist us. Her friendliness, graciousness, and easy manner immediately appealed to each of us.
As she drove us through areas of Austin, she suggested properties in communities that had potential as foreseeable home rentals and that fit the limits of our price range. Since we lived out-of-state, she knew we had a small window of time to view properties; and thus, made every effort to end our searching in a timely manner and to quickly settle any necessary paperwork after we had made a decision to purchase.
During our time with her, it was obvious she had a vast knowledgeable concerning all areas of Austin-- especially those that had excellent school systems (a demand we requested of her), and those whose neighborhoods would attract serious buyers. We finally settled on a home in Leander; and with her expertise and invaluable experience, we were able to procure a home that both she and each of us fit the criteria that we had discussed.
After ten years of owning the home in Leander, we decided to sell. We again called upon Ann to assist us, and we found that she was as accommodating and helpful as she had been years before. When we requested that she handle the sell of the home, she set about mailing any (and all) necessary paperwork (disclosures, documents, etc.); evaluated any necessary repairs or improvements needed for the home; and hired whatever personnel would be needed to do those improvements. She was always available to answer questions—day or night--and give advice or provide clarification . She often kept long vigils at the Leander home as she patiently waited for deliveries, potential buyers, or workmen.
Indeed, she proved invaluable to not only purchasing this rental home, but a valuable asset to the often tedious tasks of selling. We will always be grateful to her ethical standards, expertise, and dedication to her work.

Bryan was very crucial in helping us find our home. We had a budget we were trying hard to stick to, while still trying to be in a neighbor close to some action. He was available at the drop of the hat when we wanted to look at a new place (which was definitely necessary in this market, where, within hours of being listed, houses could have multiple offers) and he let us know the pros and cons of each house he showed us. He was prompt in sending our offers and helping us make them as appealing as possible to the sellers. We are now living in a house we love, under our initial budget, and in a neighbor hood we are more than happy with! Thanks Bryan!

When my fiance and I began thinking about purchasing a home in Austin we were filled with excitement and anxiety. It is no secret that house prices are soaring and we were afraid that home ownership was beyond our reach.
Bryan was able to help us cast those doubts aside. Working alongside his excellent wife and partner, Darlene, Bryan went above and beyond our expectations throughout the entire process.
If we spotted a home that we were interested in, Bryan was able to get us to the property that very day, without fail. As first time home buyers we were clueless about the entire process, and Bryan took the time to explain everything. The depth of his knowledge about each home's value, structural integrity, neighborhood dynamics, and the overall pros and cons was amazing. He was honest and patient. Most importantly, he found us the perfect home and we are eternally grateful.
I have already recommended Bryan and Darlene to two of my best friends, and they have also found their dream home. I will not hesitate to call them up when we are looking for our next home.
