Not only did our house sell for the desired price and the timeline we needed, he took care of coordinating everything!"

"I highly recommend Brendan and his team. I am so grateful to them. This was an emotional experience for me since I was selling my late father’s home and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Brendan was recommended to me as a top realtor in Austin and I can definitely attest to that.
From the onset, his data-driven knowledge was incredibly helpful to me since I’d never bought or sold a home before, and the process seemed daunting. His regular Tuesday updates were informative, detail-oriented, and helped give me peace of mind that everything was being taken care of.
He was a great communic… Read Moreator and helped take over the entire process of clearing out the house, getting it prepared to be put on the market, and advising me on the best decisions to make to get the house sold in as stress-free a manner as possible." Read Less

"We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Brendan and his team (Mia and Devin included!) to sell our home. This was our very first time selling, and from start to finish they made the process so much less intimidating than we expected. The whole team is professional, detail-oriented, and just so supportive!

A… Read Mores savvy as he truly is with his experience, it’s so reassuring that he supported us with numbers and made excellent recommendations. And he does all of this while feeling like a genuine friend who truly wants the best for you!
This market is absolutely crazy, but Brendan never pressured us to do one thing or another. Instead, he always supported us while sharing insights about market conditions, guiding us thoughtfully and giving us the confidence to make our own smart decisions. We’re so blessed and grateful to have sold in this crazy market!
Even after closing, his excellent checklist of post-sale items showed just how thorough and prepared he and his team is. It helped us tie up some loose ends with a very practical “to-do” list (honestly the whole experience felt like this!) He is super detail-oriented, able to communicate clearly (even to someone like me who doesn’t know all the technical terms), and he/the team always made it understandable. So many times in this stressful process, Brendan came through and made it as painless as possible, & I genuinely thought to myself, “Wow no wonder he’s the top 1% in Austin!”
If you’re looking to buy or sell in the area, I would 100% highly recommend Brendan and his team. Thank y’all, you were awesome!!" Read Less
