    "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."

    "He cares about his clients!"
    Allan has helped my family purchase various homes in the Austin area and we keep coming back and sending people his way. Allan understands the market and has our best interest in mind. He cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable in their decisions when purchasing homes.He also goes out of his way to assist with any issues that may arise throughout the process of purchasing a primary or investment property. He is able to send over an expert on a moment's notice when an emergency arises even long after the home has been purchased (plumber, exterminator, handyman, gardener etc). His expertise and client appreciation makes him a realtor and very quickly a part of the family. I highly recommend Allan's services to anyone living in Texas or those relocating here like my family has. Last but not least, Allan has also helped us finding tenant for our properties.

    "Beth is a great realtor"
    Beth is a great realtor. She has a frank and honest way of communicating and was able to simplify the entire home-selling process. She has a thorough knowledge of the Austin market, is always available for questions, and has both the analytical knowledge and savvy to maximize the sale price of a home.n nThis was the first home I've sold, and I couldn't have asked for more positive experience. Highly recommended.

    "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.

    "Beth's services didnt end with the house being secured"
    I've worked with Beth to buy several houses and properties (and used referrals from her for out of region purchases). Our latest house is the best! Feels like we are on vacation everyday. Thanks Beth! Tight market made it critical to move quickly and we viewed the property,submitted a competitive bid and got the house in a weekend. Beth's services didnt end with the house being secured. She has a tremendous network from the finance person, to the highly ethical plumbers, carpet installation, painters...even the yard guys...they have all been almost as amazing as Beth. Where do I go to give you 6 stars??

    "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.

    "Great experience"
    As first time home buyers there was a lot of uncertainty going into the process- thank goodness we had Beth on our side! She took the time to explain every step and answer all of our questions, was timely and professional in her response, and never pressured us into anything.She even pointed out some issues with some of the houses we went to look at to warn us of potential problems- Beth was always looking out for us! We love our new home and have Beth to thank for introducing us to a neighborhood we never even considered. Great experience, highly recommend!

    "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.

    "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.

    "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.

    "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.

    Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2016 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!

    "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 is an amazing agent and I cannot recommend her enough!"
    Beth is an amazing agent and I cannot recommend her enough. Beth helped me with the purchase of my first home last year. She was incredibly patient with all of my questions (and boy were there a lot!). I can’t say enough about her professionalism and knowledge of the industry, and of Austin real estate market in particular.Beth was energetic, knowledgeable, attentive, listened carefully, and seemed to always be available, as if I were her only client, even though I definitely was not! In addition to my home purchase transaction, Beth was incredibly helpful with recommendations for amazing contractors when I wanted to have some work done. Many months after closing Beth was still thinking of me, and reached out to make sure I had filed Homestead paperwork, etc. With Beth it’s not about the individual transaction but about building relationships. I was lucky to have worked with her and highly recommend her to everyone!

    "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.
    "She was positive, encouraging, and most of all professional. She was always there when needed!"
    Beth sold the house that was in very poor condition. She managed to make the photos amazingly good. She was positive, encouraging, and most of all professional. She was always there when needed. She gave wonderful recommendations for services to come in and clear out the house, clean it to perfection,and clean the carpet. I could never have done all that without her! Her efforts and contacts gave us a very quick sale, over the asking price! And THEN she was a miracle worker in completing the sale to closing. I have sold several houses over the years; but I can honestly say that Beth did the best, most efficient, successful job of any previous realtor. If I ever have to sell a house again I will definitely use Beth! And I am wholeheartedly recommending her to my family and friends.

    "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!
