    "I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience with her."

    We used Beth to sell and buy our home and I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience with her. She helped us with every step of preparing our home for sale and connected us with the best resources (painters, cleaners, etc). After much research,she priced our house about 40k over what we thought we could get – and we got full asking price! We hit a few unavoidable hiccups along the way that we could not have navigated on our without Beth’s extensive experience. She really took so much of the stress off our plate. Thanks to her smart staging and pricing, we sold our home significantly faster than other comparable homes in the neighborhood. And when it came to buying a home, Beth really listened to what we wanted and did not waste our time looking at houses that did not meet our criteria. When we did find our dream home, it was Beth’s strategy (which we would have done the opposite on our own) that won us the house in a very competitive market with multiple bids. She is an excellent negotiator and saved us thousands when it came down to navigating our final deal. Beth continues to be a resource to us even after closing! Not only is she such a savvy realtor but also a really fun and enjoyable person to lead you through the whole home buying/selling experience.

    "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 is an amazing human being!"

    It’s not always easy to find realtors with the experience and knowledge that Allan & Christina have. They are a perfectly curated mix of friendly and professional. Allan was always there to answer a quick question by phone, text, or email. He somehow muscled his way thru a showing when he twisted his ankle because he didn’t want us to miss an opportunity,the man is unstoppable. They were both honest & genuine, there at every turn to guide and counsel us. The process of buying a home can be complex and a bit turbulent at times. Allan was there with his calming demeanor to patiently and comprehensively explain every detail, while Christina was prompt with guidance on the backend procedures that come with every home buying process. Allan is an amazing human being and extraordinary realtor, you will not be disappointed working with him & his team.

    Bought a Single Family home in 2020 in Leander, TX.
    "She's just a total pro!"

    I would recommend Beth to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Austin area. She served as our listing agent for our house, and she provided us with excellent strategic advice and services (evaluation by a home stager, inspection, etc.). She understood and demystified all the processes and legal documents for us.And it was such a relief to work with someone so clear-headed, knowledgeable, and just really good at her job. In addition, Beth helped us buy our new house--and even helped find us a rental while we were making the transition from the old house and looking for a new place. She was so responsive, helpful, and just lovely to work with. If you had a question, she'd have your answer--or she'd find it for you. She returns calls and emails immediately. She's just a total pro who made the stressful process of selling, moving, and buying a little less scary!

    "Go with Beth!"

    If you're reading this review, look no further, you've found your realtor. Beth is for you if you want someone who's interested in what you need, someone who's available to her clients and knows her business and the Austin market. Beth knows how to negotiate for the best price on something you're loving or attracting buyers for your sale.Beth helped me secure a perfect house with multiple bidders. She scoped out the needs of the seller and devised variables that attracted the seller to my offer without my having to over bid the price. When I went to sell, Beth was there to advise improvements to increase value at a minimum investment. She is very generous with her time and assistance to stage the house as well. She even hired the window cleaners. Go with Beth."

    "Give her a call and you won’t be sorry!"

    I highly recommend Beth Barlow to anyone looking for a realtor in Austin. She is extremely knowledgeable, gives excellent advice, and definitely exceeded my expectations. With Beth on board, this nerve wracking experience was actually pleasant. Give her a call and you won’t be sorry.

    "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.

    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.

    Beth is the epitome of professionalism. I've used her three times and can't imagine working with anyone else. This last purchase was the lot for our forever home. No pressure. No games. Beth waited for us to tell her we were 100% comfortable with buying this property before we moved forward.Thanks for everything Beth. You're awesome!!!

    "He is incredibly knowledgeable!"

    When we first moved to Steiner in 2015, Allan helped us rent a home and then later purchase one in 2018. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the Austin market and his process is second to none. Finding your dream home in a competitive market like Austin can be a long and stressful ordeal,but Allan's team made it go as smoothly as possible. We can't recommend Allan enough!

    I met Allan while I was trying to rent my house on my own and was having difficulties generating interest and couldn't spend the time needed to do an adequate job.

    "He worked just as hard to help us!"

    We have used Allan twice to find a home to lease in the Steiner Ranch Community. He worked just as hard to help us secure a lease as he would have to find us a house to purchase. We will definitely use him when we are ready to purchase a home!

    "No hesitation in recommending him to our friends and family!"

    We found Allan through a local community charitable event he was sponsoring; the event was raising money for an Austin based canine shelter which we also support. Allan explained how he could help us lease our Steiner Ranch home to the right tenant. We have worked with him now on several occasions andhave no hesitation in recommending him to our friends and family.

    Found a tenant for a Single Family home in Austin, 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!

    Bought a Single Family home in 2016 in Cedar Park, TX.
    "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

    " They are truly a dynamic duo!"

    We started our search for a home with another agent. When we became extremely unhappy with her ability to represent our best interests, we switched to Allan. He understood what we wanted and showed homes that matched our wants and needs. He was professional and knowledgeable, yet treated us like family.I would recommend Allan and his wife. They are truly a dynamic duo.

    "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.

    "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.

    "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.

    "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!
