Just ten years ago, buyers had many more options when looking to invest $200 K in the Austin real estate market. The median sales price of residential homes in 2008 was only $192,000.
Testimonials
"
James sold our previous home in one day and worked really hard to get us into a rental home. When we decided to purchase again, he was our top choice. He is one of the most attentive and most responsive realtors we have ever worked with. Very knowledgeable and patient with my constant texts and emails. He will always be our first choice for our real estate needs.

Jenny's enthusiasm and energy around our home search was wonderful! She made the process really fun, and was very patient with us. She was the one who ultimately found the house we chose, and we really appreciated her efforts!

Jenny Phillips was there any time we needed her to be at the property or just answer any questions we may have had. She worked with us on several tough issues that came up before the sale. Her professional advice was extremely helpful!
"
- K. Welsh, Austin, TX
"
I had gone online to find a mortgage company and pre-qualify. The mortgage company I selected recommended an agent but the person was terrible - never called when she said she would and didn't follow up with me. I told the mortgage company and they referred me to Jenny to replace the first failed recommendation.
Jenny was great! I recently sold a property in Minnesota and was so disappointed in the performance of the agent. She was just in it for the money and never made we feel like she was looking out for my best interest. Jenny was the complete opposite and being new to Austin, it was critical to me that I had someone to help me with where I would be happiest.
Jenny was so supportive through the whole process and made me feel like I was working with a friend and not someone getting paid to provide the service. She knew what to ask of sellers/builders to make sure I didn't miss anything. She was there every step of the way including home walk thru's and closing. She made sure I had what I needed and even contacted stakeholders on my behalf.
Jenny is very knowledgeable about the process, which helped me feel more comfortable since I'm not very experienced.

Jenny Phillips is a hard working go-getter. Very polite, and stayed on top of all the issues that came up. You are fortunate to have her on your team.

Jenny was fantastic. She was with us every step of the way. She was always one step ahead and we felt comfortable that everything was in her hands. She literally made our dreams come true!

I've been looking for investment property and Kenny is always looking for the right property. His knowledge of the area is impressive. He is always professional and responsive to my inquires. He is highly motivated yet not pushy and working with him has been a wonderful experience.
"
- Julie T.

Kenny went above and beyond to make sure our home sold for its value. His knowledge of the market was impressive along with his ability to maximize the social media platform. He continued to impress us throughout the process and always made sure to keep us in the loop of things.

We have recently sold our home and wanted to pass on the name of our wonderful realtor in case you or someone you know is thinking of buying or selling... Please consider working with Julie Nelson of Keller Williams. We cannot say enough good things about Julie. When we decided to begin the process of selling our home, we interviewed other agents and never felt quite comfortable with them. Julie instantly impressed us with her knowledge and appreciation of Central Austin, her straight forward approach to the selling process, and her endless patience in answering our numerous questions. In addition, she is intelligent, friendly, extremely competent and detail-oriented. In short, just the kind of person you want on your side during the potentially stressful time of buying or selling a home. Please pass on her name to one and all!
"
- Liz & Steve
"
Julie was personable and technically savvy. She listened and sent us listings that were below our highest price range, which I appreciated. Other agents seemed to push us into higher prices. We feel we paid a good price and found a great agent!
"
- A. Gentle
"
Oh yeah, don't worry about us as clients. You will forever be our agent. We think you're an awesome person and an industry badass! I recommend you to everyone I know. Thanks again!
"
- E. O'Brian
"
Julie helped me to buy and sell my house. She is simply the best at what she does and knows how to make things happen -- so thorough, so on the ball, so effective. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again if the need arose."

I had a great experience with Mae. She is very good to chat with and clearly knows her profession's ins and outs. Mae is also a very good person who will look after her client's best interests. Her suggestions were very helpful during the process of buying my first home. She was always there to answer any questions that I had.
"
- manusovich
"
Mae went above and beyond when we were looking to rent a house! She drove us to every house we wanted to see and didn't rest until we found a house that fit all our needs and within our price range. She was available at all hours. When we finally found the perfect house, Mae got our applications in immediately. When the landlord did not want to accept our application because we have two pet rabbits, she negotiated until they accepted us. She also ensured that everything we requested was fixed before move-in. Mae does not rest until you are moved in and satisfied with your new home. She is also very timely during such a time-sensitive process. She ensured that we were the first ones to put in our application for our house. I would highly recommend Mae and will use her again the next time I'm looking to move.

From start to finish Mae helped us find our dream home and guided us through every step of the process. She helped put us in contact with people who could also meet our needs.

Mae was so focused on making every detail of the experience wonderful for me. I found my dream home to rent and the experience was so wonderful we are now working on finding my dream home to buy. She is well organized, energized, and has a fierce eye for details. I had so many questions through the process but she calmed all my nerves with a wealth of practical knowledge. She is straight forward and honest, which helped me in finding the perfect home for me, now two times!
"
- Kelsey Randle
"
Mae was on top of everything through the whole process of my home search, She was such a warrior to make sure I found the perfect home and I did. She listened to my needs and my wants, knew every neighborhood and the best places to eat and activities. Even at closing the closer commented on how amazing my realtor was at keeping me the priority in the whole process. I found my dream home thanks to Mae. She went above and beyond in every way possible.
"
- Kelsey Randle
"
Negotiated my purchase with ease and expert advice!
I would highly recommend Mae for your next home purchase or sale. Worked with me through the entire process. Made it easy and understandable. This was my first home purchase. I was put at ease by Mae.

Mae Levitan was an awesome guide through Austin, TX. She knew the neighborhoods inside and out, helped to guide me through the rental process, and had a keen eye for pricing information (no hidden fees!). She was respectful throughout the moving process and incredibly responsive despite my busy work schedule. I highly recommend Mae Levitan to anyone looking for a place in the Austin area.
"

Mae is amazing. We used her twice: First when we were moving to Austin with our 1-year-old and a dog and needed an apartment ASAP.
She found us a terrific place near to work, got us settled in, heped us navigate a strange city and generally took care of us throughout.
A year later we were ready to buy our own home. Mae spent countless hours helping us navigate the shoals of Austin real estate in a SUPER-competitive market. She was proactive in finding us places to see, was knowledgeable about the market, and about Texas real estate issues in general, was generally a perfect person to have in our corner throughout the process!

Mae helped me in my quest to buy a condo in the Austin area. She had a lot of knowledge in the area and came up with some good prospects. She is a real professional who understood my needs.

Mae is extremely responsive, hardworking, and caring. She was always available for viewings and understands where her clients are coming from budget-wise and needs-wise. If you're a millennial looking for your first home or a seasoned home buyer looking for an investment, give her a call.

James was recommended to us by a close friend. From start to finish and beyond James was extremely helpful and easy to work and communicate with. If we move anytime in the future we will definitely be contacting James again! Great service and great customer care as a first time buyer.
"
- Michael Munson
"
James was absolutely an amazing realtor. He went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process of buying our first home. He also continually made us feel comfortable as though we were going through the experience with a friend. We would gladly recommend him to anyone wanting a genuine realtor to guide them through their purchase.
"
- Mike & Chelsie O'Brien
"
James is one of the good guys. In a world of pretenders and throat-cutters, James maintains his integrity. Have used him twice and would use him again.
"
- Jim & Deborah Hays
"
Does an outstanding job of staying on top of everything involved with buying or selling a house. I've used him for both and he did great with both. Always very responsive to questions or requests. Just terrific right beside us through the entire process. Helped with questions we had and made suggestions to make the whole process go smoothly and quickly.
"
- Michael Moore
"
We are buyers from out of state, so this sale required an agent who was willing to be our eyes and ears and was willing to give a lot of extra attention. James went above and beyond for us over and over again to make sure the sell went perfectly. We truly felt as though we had a family member working with us throughout the entire course of the sale. We would not hesitate to work with James again, and we hope to, and we would also not hesitate to give him the highest marks possible in every category.
"
- Catherine Bonner

James was FANTASTIC! He went above and beyond to help us find our first home and we will be forever grateful for his service.

Mr. Chapa exemplifies professionalism, efficiency, communication and area of expertise. His marketing is high quality photos and web-based marketing. He was always available via phone, text or email. With real estate snags happen, and we saw our fair share! But no matter, Mr. Chapa surged forward without a flinch and got an amazing buyer for our home. He instills trust and confidence from the get-go. And that is a rare thing to find these days in a true business relationship. From the beginning, he knew the right price point for our home to generate huge interest. He took full advantage of this technology based world and used to our advantage with high quality HD photos, virtual room tours, major real estate websites as well and weekly informational emails tracking interest in the home based on website visits and who has been to the home for showings.

James is excellent to work with. He is very knowledgeable and is great at explaining every step of the process. He knows the local market and presents what you can reasonably expect to get for your home. He helped me purchase my new home also and was very helpful through out the building process. I have used James several as has my mother. Hopefully I will not be moving again, but if that changes I will call upon James again.
"
- Sharon Moore
"
At our first meeting, James was very professional and totally prepared with a detailed packet with my home info and current comps from the area. He listened to my input when we discussed the selling price. He kept me informed throughout the process, by phone, email, and text. I would highly recommend James to any seller.

OMG. James is the most hands on and focused rep I've been blessed to be proud to have worked with me. There were some financial docs that USAA clearly messed up. Thus put my ptsd in full blast but James, reached out to movement mortage.. Lord, when I say from James to the movement mgt, the entire TEAM are my angels. James will be recommended to all. I'll ride around town with his pic on the sides of my cars any days.. James is FAMILY oriented and treats you as well. Thanks.

James has helped me with everything that has to do with buying my home from sharing his knowledge of the area to actually getting thru the loan process. He even helped me find somewhere to board my pets until I could complete my move. And because I do not move in until Monday he checks in with me to see how things are going.

I first want to thank James for helping me get into my home. He went over and beyond to help. He explained everything to me so that for someone who had not been through this process with a Realtor or a Lender I understood where I needed to be.

"
James was always available for me when I needed to discuss any issues relating to my deals. James responded to all my requests in a timely manner.

We knew from a family member that Carla would be great to work with. She made this a painless process that went beyond expectations - especially as first-time buyers. I plan on using her again in the future because she is a true professional in this industry.
"
- Dan Hofmann
"
Carla goes 'above and beyond,', goes 'that extra mile,', gives '110%' - anything that says 'she kicks ass and delivers more than you'd ever expect' is the right way to say it.
"

Carla Black is amazing. Not only is Carla great at what she does, she is a wonderful person. I highly recommend her for her expertise when you are ready to purchase a home. She is attentive and continues to be a spectacular realtor. Carla was honest and professional. It was our first home buying experience and she has guided us throughout the entire process. Any questions or concerns she is a call or text away. With her great negotiation skills, we were able to purchase a beautiful home that was move-in ready, in a great neighborhood and well within our budget.
"
- Stephanie McGovern
"
There are so many agents to choose from but so few who really pay attention to what you need and want in your home. Carla negotiates hard for you and goes the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable with the fine print. She is not just another agent, she has become a member of the family. As a home buyer, Carla was my buyer's agent and represented me in the purchase of my home
"
- John Ngo
"
No problem pertaining to the sale seemed too overwhelming to Carla, and we had a few rough spots. Her can-do attitude and passion for doing her job well carried us all through what can be a very emotionally draining experience. Carla made us feel that selling our house was the most important job she had to do.
"
- Phyllis Jackson Stegall
"
Carla went above and beyond as my agent, helping me with various details to make the preparation for getting the house on the market (suggestions in the 'make ready' phase) and to close very seamless. She really cared about my situation and wanted to assure I was satisfied every step of the way. She ran interference on the details and some issues that popped up so I didn't have to worry about those hassles allowing me to focus on my move to another house. I really appreciated that a lot.
"
- Deborah Fleming
"
I am a difficult client to deal with and Carla was absolutely superb. She is the consummate professional with extensive market knowledge, wonderful listening skills, and exhibits the highest integrity. Carla also has remarkable negotiating skills which will lead to the maximum dollar return for you as a seller. I highly recommend her for either side of a real estate transaction without any hint of reservation.

"Jason is a truly excellent realtor committed to ensuring his clients get the right home for them and that they receive most money in their pockets when it comes time to sell. He has been my realtor in both selling a home and in buying a new home. Professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. I can't recommend him more highly. 10/10. A+++"

"Jason was a joy to work with. We used him more than once and would certainly do so again. He listens well, is always willing to accommodate requests, is professional and very knowledgeable. He is quick to get answers to questions. He made our long search for a country home as pleasant as possible. You will not regret using Jason for all your real estate needs."
"

"Jason has helped me with a couple of properties in the last year. He is a very easy person to work with. Jason has a sharp eye for what the potential tenant might look for in a property and brings in that perspective while evaluating properties. He is also very level-headed and offers unbiased advice all along the process. In that sense, he acts more like your partner and helps you avoid any pitfalls that you may not be thinking about. After the deal is done, real estate purchase is all about process and Jason understands the process very well and stays on top of things. I would unequivocally recommend Jason for your real estate needs."

My family and I recently moved out of Austin and Jason Palos was our realtor who helped us sell our Austin home. Initially, we got in touch with him to help us put the home on lease and manage it while we are away. Soon, we decided to sell it instead of leasing it out and Jason made the whole process absolutely seamless. He prepared the home for sale and had open house over the weekends. He promptly updated me on how the response was during the open house and thereafter. Not being locally in Austin, I was kind of concerned how things would work. Jason made it very easy. He was always responsive to phone calls and emails and would take the time to explain things in detail so that I understood what was happening. We were able to enter into a contract within 2 weeks of putting the home on sale.
During our move, I accidentally packed some of the critical documents like the survey that ended up in storage, where I didn’t have any access. Jason was kind enough to contact the title company that I used when I bought the home to arrange for a copy of the survey to keep the process going. He did a fantastic job of constantly updating where we are in the contract and what to expect next. There were no surprises at any point!
In a nutshell – Jason is very easy to work with – responsive and detailed. He will be the go to person if we ever decide to buy/sell a home in Austin. I would gladly refer him to my friends and family as well."

"Jason has been a great contributor to finding us our dream home. He helped us buy our dream house, in the locality we wanted with the exact specs we were looking for. Jason pays close attention to the buyers needs and shows only the houses that match the requirement. He does not believe in wasting our time with irrelevant houses. Once he find a house Jason won't hesitate a showing as many times as needed when he sees that all requirements match. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone."

"Jason was a wonderful Real Estate agent. He crafted a detailed plan to get our property on the market quickly and effectively. He communicated on every move and transaction. My family and I were always in the loop. Jason was very attentive to our needs and complaints. He always gave sound advice while understanding if we decided to go another route. I appreciate his expertise of the Austin market. This was our first time selling a home and he made the transition seamless and painless. To speak to his prowess, we were on the market for a week before we got two solid offers and we were able to close in less than 2 weeks. So in all Jason Palos guided us end to end in 3 weeks with an amazing experience. I will definitely choose Jason again if I come back to buy in the Austin area.

"My name is Rama R. Menon and I would happily put in writing an acknowledgement of professional realty services that I have benefited from Jason Palos over the past 3 years, specifically in the Aviara community in Austin. Jason is a great agent to work with, and is always very prompt and courteous. He looks after the customer's interests and cares deeply about the relationship he builds with the customer. He has been very flexible and responsive, even beyond the normal working hours. I will recommend Jason's services to anyone who needs an outstanding realtor with great services."

"Jason helped sell our home in The Reserve at Berry Creek. At that time several homes had already been on the market for over 100 days. Our home sold in half that time and for list price! Jason has a great eye for detail, knows the process and was always available and responsive to our needs and communication. He also knows quality service professionals and quickly helped us replace a window and replace two water heaters...saving me lots of time and hassle. We love our new home and am happy we had Jason to help us smoothly transfer out of our last one."

"I have known Jason since my family planned to move here in Austin back in 2008. He was the sales consultant of the builder where we wanted to get a home with and moved in. Since we were still out of state, Jason keep me posted with all progress and issues that comes along that saves me time and travel costs. We lived in this property for a while and decided to look for a new one. I always ask him how’s the market nowadays and he never failed to give me feedback until we decided to put our house on the market. To make this sale smooth, he had assisted me in preparing the house from inside out to make it the best out there and true enough that we got it sold faster than I thought. My family and I had our confidence in him and we believe he can help others too.”
