    "Allan is professional!"
    We contacted Allan to rent a house he was managing the lease for. Unfortunately, this house (although it was great) would not work out due to the timeframe for our move-in date. However, Allan took the time to learn what we were looking for and had another rental house in Steiner which worked out perfectly for our move-in and leasing timeframe.Allan is professional, courteous, fair and helpful. He answered all of our questions, no matter how odd they were.

    BOUGHT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME IN 2016 IN GEORGETOWN, TX.
    "He also has a great network!"
    Our story with Allan began when we were living out of state, soon to relocate to the area, and wanted to travel in to town a weekend to look at single family home rentals. Found Allan in an internet search and contacted him out of the blue a few days before. He managed to find a couple rentals to show us,and made time out of a realtor's busy Saturday to meet with us unknowns who were only looking to land a rental. He was very gracious. As we assessed the market area more and decided that even if our move to the Austin area might be temporary, it would still be smarter to buy a home than rent, so we reached back out to Allan. We gave him our specs and soon/often we had listings popping in our inbox. Still out of state, he was our guy here. A listing we liked, he went there for a FaceTime session at the house, he helped us put in an offer which was rejected because we were out of state. He helped us land on a new construction. With the house locked in, he would constantly visit and email us pictures during construction so we could see the progress. He did the walk-thru's with the builder, grabbed the keys on closing and got them to us when we made our move to town a few days later. 6mos later when it became clear we weren't leaving the Austin area, we reached back out to him, now in pursuit of an investment/rental home. Again, specs to him, then listings to us. Again we found new construction in a hot upcoming neighborhood. This time I was actually accompanying Allan during sales negotiations, walk thrus, and closing and got to see him work first hand. Very happy with the deal he got us on that house as well, it was instantly profitable for us with a renter in it. And with us throwing 2 sales his way that year, he was gracious enough to help us with the listing, vetting, and paperwork with the first tenant for the investment rental. He also has a great network of people around him. Bottom line is we can't give higher praises or recommend him enough!

    Bought a Single Family home in 2017 in Leander, TX.
    "We can't recommend her enough!"
    Beth has served as our agent for three transactions: two purchases and one sale. Every time we have been enthusiastically happy with her support and expertise. Most recently, she helped us put our house on the market and got an excellent price. We have two kids, a dog, and two full-time jobs,so we were getting a little overwhelmed by the logistics. But Beth helped us prioritize upgrades and repairs, referring us to her excellent network of contractors. She did an excellent job helping us stage and market our house, culminating in multiple bids after only being on the market for a few days. She has such a good sense of the market and she managed the sale perfectly. She also was extremely helpful (and fun!) while we searched for our new home, ultimately driving a hard bargain for us in our purchase. She is a delight to work with. We can't recommend her enough!

    "Beth – thank you!"
    After having a family member retire from being a real estate agent, it can take a minute to decide who you are going to put your trust into for your next real estate purchase. For some, it may not be that difficult. For others, like us, a young a couple starting out with a child on the way,we had a lot on our plate to think about and we needed our real estate agent to be committed and dedicated to our “Team” and our efforts. Beth is a bubbly, loyal, hardworking, firecracker of a woman within her petite frame. When it comes to real estate, she is tenacious, knowledgeable and diligent. You hire Beth when you want to get a real estate deal done – especially, in our case, when it was a property we’ve wanted to buy for nearly a year. How do you put in a strong offer without giving away the shop so-to-speak, especially when you are looking at a property in a competitive area of town (which most areas of Austin seem to be nowadays)? Beth understands this delicate balance and helped us navigate our way straight to the closing table in March 2017! We are thrilled about the beautiful home that we can now call ours. Beth – thank you!

    "It is clear that she truly enjoys her profession!"
    We enlisted Beth when we were looking for a home summer 2015. Given that one of us travelled for work often, it made it challenging to coordinate all that's necessary in the purchase of a home. However, Beth was very accommodating to us, and with the help of today's technology,we didn't skip a beat in moving everything along on schedule. Beth was always prompt, responsive, accommodating, and professional. She always followed through in everything she committed to, and went above and beyond in areas that we would not have expected. Her experience allowed her to guide us through things to think about, and counsel us wisely on decisions. She facilitated well amongst all the parties involved, and advocated well for us. She is in tune with the Austin market, well knowledged in real estate, resourceful, truly invests herself in the wellness of her clients, and it is clear that she truly enjoys her profession - what a great combination!

    "Loved Allan's professional help!"
    Loved Allan's professional help! Allan helped us to quickly find tenants to fit our very specific needs. We didn't want to move our furniture into storage and we didn't want any pets in our house while we were out of the country. Allan found us a fantastic family with no pets who leased our house fully furnished.Exactly what we wanted! Allan always responded quickly to my questions and he is happy to help with my housing needs.

    Found a tenant for a Single Family home in Austin, TX.
    "He had kept us on his mind!"
    Our family was in between buying homes and looking for a short term rental, which is very hard to find in our neighborhood, Steiner Ranch. I reached out to Allan just to "check" and see if he knew of anything available. He didn't at the time, but always kept looking for our family, even when we weren't aware!On the day we were out looking at apartments, which would be hard based on the size of our family, Allan called and found a potential place that actually ended up working out for us! He had kept us on his mind and looking for opportunities for over two months and came through! When other Realtors never followed up after the first contact and basically said, "you are out of luck," Allan came through. Plus, every step was easy, facilitated quickly and was extremely helpful.

    "Allan did a great job!"
    Allan did a great job during our home buying experience. He gave us important information about different areas in Austin, as well as public school ratings and neighborhood data. He also did a great job negotiating our contract and made sure every small detail was addressed.

    Bought a home in 2014 in Marshall Ford, Austin, TX 78732.
    "We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"
    My daughter and I relocated to Austin from California. We found the Austin real estate market to be daunting with little inventory, lots of competition, and quickly rising prices. We were lucky to happen upon Beth at one of her listings. She was genuinely happy to meet us, full of energy,and sincere in her follow-up and desire to find us a home. Beth is a hard-working, knowledgeable, and scrappy real estate agent. She is tapped into standard tools, like the MLS, but also word of mouth and networking. Beth took a pro-active approach to our search and listened to our needs so we were able to narrow down our search area quickly. When it came time to look at homes, I was always happy with the number of homes and variety of options provided. Each day of touring, Beth was professional, well-prepared and organized. She would map out a route to make the trip as efficient as possible and even offered drinks and snacks! Once we found the right home, Beth became a trusted advisor and provided concierge level service. She helped strategize an offer, compiled key dates for closing, helped navigate inspections, set up and met with contractors for estimates, showed us the home repeatedly - with family in town or just because, and even attended the closing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we owe that in large part to Beth’s great attitude, knowledge, guidance, hard-work, and willingness to help us find the perfect home. We are all moved in now and couldn’t be happier.

    "Thanks to Beth's great strategic"
    Beth is not only a wonderful friend, but also an exceptional realtor. If she isn't already your friend before the home buying/selling process she will be after. That's the type of person you want helping make such a big decision. nI turned to Beth when we decided to sell my house and move closer into the city.She knows the market, neighborhoods & schools like the back of her hand. When we finally settled on a neighborhood and house we loved, Beth helped me get my house staged, photographed and on the market within 48 hours! Thanks to Beth's great strategic & negotiating skills we had six showings the first day and multiple offers. We accepted an offer and were under contract to sell my house and buy the new house we love so much! All during this time, Beth had multiple houses and clients she was working with yet we felt like all the attention was on us. She is great at multitasking and is extremely responsive at all times. She kept us informed every step of the process to ensure we knew exactly what was going on. Her professional yet friendly demeanor made the whole sell/ buying process painless and stress-free. She is hands down the most knowledgeable, responsive and has the highest integrity of any realtor out there. I would highly recommend Beth for any real estate ventures and wouldn't think of using anyone else.

    "He was a great advocate!"
    Allan and I met a couple of years ago through a mutual friend when I was looking to rent. He was very helpful, but I decided to stay where I was. When I was ready to rent this year I went back to Allan because he had been so helpful previously. Allan provide me with good advice going into the rental process and was there for me to answer any questions.He was a great advocate and very knowledgeable about the area and rental market. He worked with us daily to find a home and helped us to negotiate the terms. Unfortunately my experience with the landlord was taxing, but Allan stepped in and went above and beyond to help where he could. We are now in our home thanks to Allan. Not only is he a great real estate broker, but he is just an all around great person. If you are looking to rent or buy, Allan is definitely the right person for you. I know when we're ready to purchase we'll be giving him a call.

    "Beth was an excellent and proactive buyers"
    Beth was an excellent and proactive buyers agent for us. We had worked with another agent for a few months with no luck. After switching to Beth, we had a house under contract in a few weeks. She drove the area looking for coming soon signs, got us in to a few pre market showings and provided constructive feedback in helping us make decisions on offers.We wanted to buy in a hot area with almost no inventory and Beth made it happen.

    "Allan has been by far the best agent!"
    I've sold and purchased many homes in my lifetime, but Allan has been by far the best agent I've ever worked with. He's very knowledgeable about the market and swiftly addressed any questions I had about our contract and customary practices in TX. He and Christina are extremely professional,yet still make you feel like family. For this reason, I've used Allan for all my transactions over the last few years, and I'd recommend him to others in a heart beat. If you're looking for an agent that's a nice guy but isn't afraid to go toe to toe with a builder, you should call Allan. He'll get the job done and done well.

    "Allan was nothing short of a godsend!"
    Allan was nothing short of a godsend for our family during an unexpected (and quick) relocation to Austin. He was excellent at finding exactly what we needed and was able to get us in the perfect place right on time. I would highly recommend Allan to anyone I know looking for an honest,down to earth guy who isn't trying to pull anything over on you. (No hidden fees etc) He worked incredibly hard for us so all that was left to do was sign on the dotted line! Thanks again Allan!!! Update- Allan has since helped us find our perfect home to purchase! He has been a huge part of what made our move to Austin a success and I can't say enough good words about him. He's an upfront, honest, and hard working realtor. I feel like we genuinely made a friend through our transactions. Thanks again Allan & Christina!!!

    Bought a home in 2016.
    "I can’t recommend her enough."
    I can’t recommend Beth enough. I first met her at an open house she was holding. My husband and I weren’t even really “looking” but that house seemed appealing and we decided to see it. We got into a lovely conversation with her and just “connected” somehow. I ended up leaving my phone number and address (something I never do)- and that was really serendipitous. I didn’t have a realtor in mind to work with and just went with my instincts that Beth was the one I wanted. She never hassled, never bothered us. If I saw something I was interested in, I emailed or texted her and she would take me to see it. She was always available. Sooner than I expected, the perfect house appeared and eventually, we purchased it. At that point, we began the process of selling our own. Beth was amazing - had the right idea about everything, pricing, staging (or not)! We trusted her and we weren’t let down. Our home sold immediately and closing was a snap. She is such a calming presence and helps to make you less anxious throughout the entire process of buying and/or selling. I told her I was going to have “Beth withdrawal” after it was all over. She is just a lovely, lovely person and as I said above, I can’t recommend her enough.

    HELPED ME RENT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME IN AUSTIN, TX.
    "She is TRULY an asset when it comes to buying or selling a home!"
    I've known Beth for years, so when I needed a Realtor to help me purchase a piece of land in the wine country, she was my very first thought. Her ALWAYS positive, go-getter attitude was key in getting our deal done quickly and painlessly. She also helped me find a rental house when I moved back to Austin.AND, when it came time to sell my condo downtown, she helped me determine what improvements to make, how best to list it, and how best to stage it. We received multiple offers within the first few days it was on the market and I got more than asking for the property. I can't recommend Beth highly enough. She does whatever it takes to get things done, but she doesn't stress you out with all the little details...she just takes care of them. She is TRULY an asset when it comes to buying or selling a home!

    "Beth worked extremely hard to make the experience pleasant and smooth."
    My husband and I have been working with Beth for about 4 years as she has helped us find beautiful rentals here in Austin. When we decided to purchase, it was a no brainer that we would be asking Beth for assistance. I can't imagine having a better experience. Beth was incredibly patient,always present in our interactions (though I know she runs a busy schedule), and readily available. She helped us narrow the exact neighborhood where we wanted to live, and once we found THE house, we were blown away by her expertise and negotiation skills. She was able to negotiate a way better price on the house than what we expected and settled many details in the closing procedure to our favor. Bottom line, I was left with the impression that Beth truly cared that we end up in a beautiful solid home than making a sale. I am sure purchasing a home can be stressful but Beth worked extremely hard to make the experience pleasant and smooth. On a side note, she was lovely to hang out with. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a realtor.

    "Allan is responsive!"
    I worked with Allan for several years on various transactions. For nearly a year he worked to find me a specific type of property, only for me to find my situation changed and I had to wait. Nearly 1 year later, not only was he able to pick up where we left off and adjust to fit my new requirements,he did so without being upset about the wasted time in between (due to my fault). His goal was simply to ensure I found the right place and to be happy. We eventually found a wonderful home that was not yet on market. Allan worked hard to find out where to submit an offer and to have something ready as soon as the home was officially listed. We were able to be the very first offer and secure a foreclosed home below market value. I was very happy! Several years later I needed Allan to help me find tenants, go through the lease signing, and also later assist with some property management aspects. His local market knowledge, negotiation skills, and contract experience allowed me to both easily purchase and rent my home. Since then, he has been able to help me add a lease extension addendum for current tenants as well as advise me on the market for a potential sale in the future. Additionally, I have been seeking investment property (land), and he's assisted with this. Allan is responsive, honest, hard working, and one of the most knowledgeable realtors I've worked with in 4 states- Texas, Washington, Pennsylvania, & New York. I only wish he were licensed everywhere so I could continue to use his services outside of TX.
