Austin Realty Experts

Kyle whom I got to know through a networking group has been nothing but exceptional in his professionalism helping my wife and myself find our first home within the Austin area. His depth of knowledge, his desire to help us, his passion for his chosen profession are all unquestionable. We are both absolutely delighted with the process due to Kyle’s relaxed, patient manner and his willingness to do what it takes to make sure we are happy clients — thank you Kyle.

Kyle was my buying real estate agent when I bought my townhome about 4 years ago. About a year earlier I had tried buying a home and I was using an agent through one of the large real estate companies (it rhymes with meller milliams). I was treated horribly… like a guy in line at the deli counter. I did most of the leg work and all the agent did was show up and allow me to enter the houses I was looking at. He would never call me back, never return emails, etc. The experience soured me so bad that I gave up and decided to just rent for awhile.
I met with Kyle to start my look again and the experience could not have been more different. Kyle actually sat down and before even looking at 1 place asked me what I was looking for exactly (and also to get to know me as a person). What kind of area, what price range, what part of town, etc. Everything was very low pressure on me and there was never any kind of hard selling or upselling. Kyle made every part of the process very easy for me. I was especially hesitant due to my previous experience, but I was relieved at how smooth the process was.
We found a great place for a GREAT price. I seriously got a great deal and am still very happy with my place.

Kyle helped my wife and I find our home 3 years ago. Let me tell you, he earned his money. My wife and I were a very high-​maintenance couple who wanted to find a home that was 1) close to the city 2) had strong upside for appreciation and 3) was within our budget.
Unlike other Realtors we had met, Kyle didn’t pressure us to sign a an exclusive contract for his services. He valued our business by offering his time and listening to us, and earned our trust immediately. It took us 9 months to find the home we would eventually purchase and Kyle was there every step of the way.
First, he provided us with daily MLS updates, which were sent directly to our email addresses. These updates included only those properties that fell within our budget and location criteria and were most helpful in allowing us to get a jump on these houses quickly. (Bear in mind, this was during the housing boom. Most of the homes in our area were undergoing multiple /​competitive offers and time was of the essence). Kyle was ALWAYS flexible for property visits… often working with us to see homes on THE DAY they were listed in MLS.
Secondly, Kyle has an intrinsic knowledge of construction (which most agents claim to have, but really do not) through his prior experience in investment and rehab work. This proved most helpful in our neighborhood, as the homes we visited were older and most often suffered from some sort of deferred maintenance or terminal deficiency. Kyle was always quick to point out issues that could cause significant problems for us down the road. He helped us steer clear of unwise purchase decisions and put us in a home that was worth the money we paid.
Third, Kyle was an excellent negotiator. After finding ourselves on the losing end of a few multiple offer situations, Kyle changed his strategy. He recommended that we write a letter to the elderly owner of the home we eventually purchased telling her why we wanted the home. This proved to be the tipping point for the negotiations. It was later discovered that the owner had turned down a slightly higher investor offer because she, quote «wanted us to own the home». She’d lived in the house for nearly 60 years and desired to pass it down to a young couple who would take as much pride in it as her and her family did. Kyle recognized this, and because of his recommendation to write the letter we not only won the contract but were able to form a unique friendship with the former owner which we still have today.
Lastly, Kyle was EXCELLENT in closing our contract quickly. Our work with his brother, a mortgage broker, helped us secure a competitive interest rate and Kyle’s diligence in scheduling the appraisal, inspection and closing documents worked to our benefit. It should also be noted that Kyle was able to pull ALL of it off while we were on vacation in Europe through close communication and delegation of the activities. By the time we returned from our month-​long trip, the only thing that was left to be completed were the signatures at the closing table.
Kyle is a person who cares very much about his clients, reputation and professionalism. He is a person who will work with you to understand and follow through on the things that are most important to you as a homeowner. He doesn’t pressure you to make hasty or improper decisions and he doesn’t pontificate about the decisions you do make. He’s a professional in the truest sense of the word, and has been highly recommended by my wife and I ever since we worked with him in 2006.
I now work in the mortgage industry and deal with hundreds of Realtors nationwide. I can honestly say that you won’t find a broker in Austin whose more knowledgeable honest, sincere, and hardworking than Kyle.

Kyle was our realtor in Austin while we lived there. Unfortunately we had to move to Dallas but he was great in researching the different areas for us and ultimately finding us a great place 200 miles from where he usually works. Great guy and fun to look at properties with. As good as it gets…
