    "Her dedication shows in everything she does."

    Beth is the best realtor! She is professional, extremely knowledgeable, and the best part is she goes above and beyond her call of duty! When you work with Beth, you never feel like you are "out of the loop". She is incredibly easy to contact and doesn't leave you waiting for updates.What stands out to me about Beth that put her above the rest, were the actions she took AFTER our closing. We had discrepancies in our inspection that jeopardized out home owners insurance and Beth stepped in with personal assistance in order to make sure that we began a happy start in our new home. Beth is 100% committed to the satisfaction of her clients, and her dedication shows in everything she does.

    "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.

    I can't thank Allan enough for the help with our last residential transaction. His knowledge of the area and persistence in securing a place for us to live was above and beyond what we could have asked for.

    "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!

    "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!

    Found a tenant for a Single Family home in Cedar Park, TX.
    "My happiness was clearly her first priority!"

    Since moving to Austin in 1987 I have worked with three different real estate agents as a buyer prior to working with Beth. The service they provided was similar in all cases. I told them what house I wanted to look at and they chauffered me to see it. This was a very arduous process that I did not enjoy.My experience with Beth was completely different. Beth listened carefully as I described what I was looking for until she precisely understood my requirements. She then found the perfect house for me - within the neighborhood I wanted to reside - and negotiated a price with the seller that was within my budget. After an offer was made, she followed up at every stage to ensure the deal completed. She made the process seemless. Beth was a pleasure to work with. She impresssed me with her knowledge and resourcefulness. She remained diligent and optimistic throughout the entire process while maintaining a level of professionalism rarely seen today. My happiness was clearly her first priority. Beth would rather forgo a commission than have a dissatisfied customer.

    "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!

    "Allan and Christina are incredibly helpful!"

    Allan and Christina are incredibly helpful. After my daughter had a bad experience with another broker, Allan and Christina helped her find a great condo in the UT area at a reasonable price and on very short notice. Allan showed us many of places on a Saturday and promptly responded to our questions,even on a Saturday night and Sunday. They also helped usher through the paperwork in a very quick and efficient process. We would highly recommend Allan and Christina for any residential real estate need in Austin!

    "Smoothest transaction I've ever had!"

    David was extremely helpful with the purchase of an investment property. As a real estate investor himself, he had great insights on the market and provided valuable guidance at every step of the process. From finding and evaluating the perfect property, negotiating a great price and even helped me lease it with great tenants.This transaction was the smoothest I have ever had and that is a testament to David’s thorough, friendly and engaged approach. As an example, David was present at every critical juncture and at times he didn’t really have to be. I truly appreciated all the support and will can’t wait to work with David again. I would recommend David to anyone in the great Austin area not just because he knows his stuff but also because he really is a great guy and fun to work with.

    Bought a Single Family home in 2023 in Liberty hill, TX.
    "He was there for us!"

    The thought of buying our first home seemed really quite daunting, where do we even begin?! However, from our first meeting with Allan, I knew that we could trust him to provide us with the guidance we would need from start to finish. Our “perfect home” search criteria was very very narrow,including having the perfect pool and a small location radius. Because of Allan’s careful research and knowledge of the market, we were able to make a decision we were confident in a pretty short amount of time and he secured a great purchase price! He was there for us every single step of the way and was available and prompt whenever we needed him. His experience in the industry is vast and his personality and genuineness will put you at ease. I would recommend him to anyone and would most definitely use his services again down the road!

    "Dave treats clients like family"

    Dave helped us find the perfect home under budget! He gave great recommendations and was very transparent and honest on tours about properties. He even helped us spot things we would've otherwise missed in lease agreements and applications. He is so personable and treats clients like family.I recommend him to all my friends and family for the Austin area and beyond.

    "Greatly appreciated Allan's honesty!"

    We came to Austin during the week of thanksgiving to find housing for our relocation in December. We were only in town for a few days and due to the holiday we did not secure a home before we needed to go home. That said, allan understand what we needed and promised to keep looking. True to his word,he found a home for us a few days later and we signed a lease on a home we had not seen. However, Allan went to the home personally to make sure it didn't have issues that could not been seen by a photo. Relocating across the country to a home sight unseen was way out of our comfort zone. When we arrived to Austin and moved into our home it exceeded our expectations. We greatly appreciated Allan's honesty and diligence to secure a home for us that would be a great fit for our family.

    "Beth has been an amazing asset to my partner and me"

    Beth has been an amazing asset to my partner and me. She has now been both a buyers agent and sellers agent for us. She is a delight to work with and a shrewd negotiator. She helped us navigate a purchase on a home with multiple offers. Her knowledge in presenting an offer secured us the home below asking price which is amazing given the market and the multiple offers.When we recently sold an investment property she was again helpful beyond our expectations. We were able to sell the property without disturbing our tenant nor interrupting our revenue stream before closing. We got our asking price but saved greatly because she brought a buyer to the table. I cannot recommend her more.

    "Thank you Beth for a great job well done! "

    I used Beth Barlow to market and sell my father’s home after he passed away. Beth was most professional and extremely responsive to any of my questions during this difficult and emotional time. She also was very responsive and understanding of my family’s feelings and concerns.She knew the neighborhood well and gave me very sage advice regarding pricing and staging. She was very knowledgeable in what updates and repairs were necessary to successfully sell the home in a timely manner. Her suggestions were perfect for our situation. We were able to sell the home in less than a month! I was always very promptly informed of all the viewings and feedback from buyers. She is an excellent negotiator and very conscientious about her clients. Beth is very friendly and easy to work with on all aspects of home sales. She is well organized, efficient and responded rapidly whenever I had a need or question. I highly recommend her to anyone looking a realtor. Beth is very committed to her profession and displays this in her dedication to her clients. Even after closing, Beth continued to be prompt in her response to me for additional questions. Our family recognized early on, the keystone to Beth’s professionalism is ethics . I would have to say that Beth is hands down the best realtor I have ever used. Thank you Beth for a great job well done! Kathie Bailey

    "Jared put my mind at ease and provided a lot of guidance!"

    As a first time home buyer, I had no idea what to expect and really needed someone to hold my hand through the process. Jared put my mind at ease and provided a lot of guidance and insight that turned an initially stressful situation into an enjoyable one. He was always supportive and helpful,and it was apparent that my preferences and priorities were taken into consideration with each listing he sent my way. After a few offers on "dream homes" went unaccepted, he encouraged me to look at a home I never thought I'd be able to purchase. I had given up, but he didn't. I fell in love with it, and that home is now mine. It's a perfect match and I couldn't be happier. Thank you for listening to all my thoughts and concerns and making my dream a reality!

    "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!

    "They were both in constant contact!"

    Alan and Christina could not have been more helpful. We were new to Austin and did not know much about the different neighborhoods and values. Allan provided us valuable information to help us in our search for our home. He made himself available to show us multiple homes on weekends and evenings.Christina made all the appointments to make sure it all went smoothly. They were both in constant contact to keep us informed. Allan was also very knowledgeable of the new laws governing real estate closings, which helped our closing to go smoothly. I would highly recommend Allan and Christina for all your Austin area real estate needs.

    "I would never consider using another real estate professional other than Beth Barlow!"

    Before Beth listed our condo, she walked us through some of the improvements that would bring the best return on investment. She was honest, friendly, and very easy to work with. She helped us price our condo at a competitive, aggressive price point, and we were under contract in 7 days. At that time,Austin was at the height of its real estate heyday, and the market was insane. Beth used our wish-list criteria to help us narrow down what part of the city we wanted to live in. She was full of information, tidbits, advice--but never once did I feel pressured or overwhelmed; just helped in the right direction. Beth was a reassuring voice throughout the process. When we found a home we loved, she made sure that we got our bid in at the right time, and it was accepted 48 hours after we first viewed the home (and chosen over five other competing bids). She made sure we had all our paperwork ready when it was necessary, recommended competent and trustworthy associates, and made the process extremely easy. There was almost nothing stressful about buying our home; it amazes me to look back and say that, but it's true. We have no plans to move anytime soon, but I would never consider using another real estate professional other than Beth Barlow.

    "I have used other realtors in the past, and none even come close!"

    I was moving out of state, and needed to sell my Rosedale home. I knew a few people who had used her, and knew that she knew and understood the white-hot close-in market well. She developed a complete strategy for selling home - designed to maximize my returns and minimize my time - and my stress (I was buying a co-op in NYC). She achieved far more than I had expected - and did so in a fair and efficient way (the process to me was as important as the outcome). Once the cold weather hit NYC, I decided I wanted something small in Austin - which would be a good rental property as well as a potential second home for me. I told Beth what I was looking for. Through her network, she found something which matched my needs - before it even hit the market. Once again, the process was important - especially since i no longer lived there. The price was excellent, and the process even better (if only I could say that about buying in NYC!). Beth is the ultimate combination of integrity, market savvy, organization, congeniality, and keen negotiator....the total package. I have used other realtors in the past, and none even come close. I highly recommend her
