Austin Luxury Realty is a great property management firm!I had a horrible experience with my prior property management company not renting a unit for over eight months While covering the rent payments and charging me a 10% interest rate. I told myself I would never use a property management company again.Until I tried Austin Luxury Realty. They had a very reasonable monthly fee as well as an easy to use owner portal where I could see all collections and payments as well as late fees and other costs associated with the property. I could easily keep an eye on the situation and it was easy to monitor. That is important and crucial as an owner.When I had horrible tenants leave a property abandoned and abused, Austin Luxury Realty helped me sort out the issue and assess the damages. They also helped me collect additional fees above the deposit in order to cover my expenses. That is very rare in a property management company. They even have easy access to the owner if you need an escalation point.Feel free to contact me directly if you would like a reference on this company. Well focused and engaged property management companies are hard to find. Austin Luxury Realty is one of those companies.
I couldnt be more happy with the level of service offered by Noah... He was professional from the get go, extremely timely with communication and went above and beyond in almost every facet of his job. He even arranged to have someone cover for him when I had a last minute request during a holiday weekend. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
I highly recommend using Gary Smith at Austin Luxury Reality. When I moved here two years ago, I wasn’t familiar with the Austin area and was on a time crunch to find a place. I was very lucky with work with Gary in helping me find a place in a great neighborhood. When it was time to find a bigger place, I knew exactly who to call. With Austin growing as quickly as it is, the market is extremely competitive. Gary helped me out with viewing a property over my lunch break and getting an application to the place ASAP. If it werent for Garys help I wouldnt have found a great place to live in such a short amount of time.He is very knowledgeable of the competitive Austin market and is extremely helpful through the process! You will have no regrets working with Gary and Austin Luxury Realty!
Patrick Connell went above and beyond to not only meet my expectations but exceed them. I had an extremely short time frame with specific needs that had to be met. He also asked a plethora of questions to know what I like, what my son likes and what would make us happy. He met ALL of our needs and landed me a better house than I could have expected which met all of my needs all while doing it under my max budget! Patrick has been by far the best realtor I have ever dealt with who actually cared about delivering something I would be happy and comfort with as well as being able to afford. Patrick kept me in loop at all times and even worked on my case until very late at night! When he said do not worry, I will get you that house he meant it and had my back 110%! His word holds weight which is the most important thing to have in life in my opinion especially when you are in the business of delivering expectations and promises. I was so thrilled and relived when he called me with the good news that I burst into tears...HAPPY TEARS! I would highly recommend him to absolutely anyone especially the ones closest to me because I know they will be in good hands. Patrick, thank you again for everything you did for my son and I! I will never forget it! You ROCK!!!!
Jason at Austin Luxury Realty was amazing in helping us find our new rental home. He really helped us find a place that fit our budget and lifestyle. He was patient while we looked for just the right place. He would follow up with us regularly, but not be pushy. When we were unsure of something he provided us with great and honest advice. I would recommend him to anyone and we will definitely be calling him again in the future.
Katie Hobbs is an amazing realtor. I used to live in Austin 20 years ago and moved to California to set up my medical practice. However, I always wanted to own a house in Austin to rent out. I knew Austin housing market is a great place to invest. Katie knew exactly what I was looking for. She did her research and always kept me informed. She was very knowledgeable about Austin, its neighborhoods, its market. She grew up and went to school in Austin.She found us a great house. Beforehand, she would send me information on different houses on the market. However, when she saw our house, she knew immediately that this one was the right one for us. During the closing, she was there for all of the inspections. We closed the deal in less than 30 days. The whole process was very easy. Katie had everything under control. Her demeanor and professionalism was perfect throughout the whole process.Because we love Katie so much, we asked her to be our property manager. She has done a super job. She truly takes the stress and headaches away. She handles everything with ease and care, its very easy to trust her.I highly recommend Katie Hobbs for any real estate transactions as well as property manager. She is a diamond in the Austin and Central Texas area. She gives you the whole package. I truly believe Katie is the perfect real estate agent and a great person to know.Chad Goodman, MD
Talk about swift and easy!. I really enjoyed working with Liz - she has definitely helped me with my fresh start. She listened to all of my personal needs while being reasonable and respectful. This has been by far the easiest and most amicable time I have had in respect to home buying. Will refer and use again in the future!
Property owner considering a management company? Nothing to see here. The agent assigned to my account is unresponsive and seemingly unable or unwilling to handle simple issues relating to the property. If you want to throw money at them to be a middle man, but still have to handle trivial problems on your own, knock yourself out. I, for one, am extremely dissatisfied since I hired them so I didnt have to stress about things like HOA fines due to landscaping.
I moved home to Texas after living in San Francisco for 3 years. Andrew Holbrook was incredibly helpful during this process. The Austin housing market was on fire this summer, highly competitive rental market, but Andrew made me feel like a priority. I love my rental house, so grateful that I could put my trust in Andrew to get me a place that feels like home. Ill be looking to purchase a home in the next year and I know Andrew will help me find the perfect forever home.
I am so grateful to Matilde Gomez - living in Virginia and attempting to rent a house in Cedar Park with an accelerated timeline was stressful and not productive until I met Matilde.Matilde walked through a series of houses with me using FaceTime, and would give her honest opinion and observations. Pictures on the internet cannot reveal the truth about a place such as smells and cleanliness.She was adept at creating and tracking ongoing houses we were interested in, sharing many details in a spreadsheet such as school district, square footage, pet acceptability, costs, etc. Matilde worked late at night, weekends, and on her vacation time (apologies, again, Matilde!) to help us quickly find a place. She was always professional and courteous although she may have been sleep-deprived!Finally, even after finalizing a place to rent, Matilde continued to help out - for example, she made sure that we got our multiple application fees returned.Thank you Matilde!
Joshua helped me out immensely in finding a home in a new city. It’s never easy, and it can be quite tedious at times going through the process of finding the right home. He did an amazing job in helping me find the perfect place for me. I honestly can’t recommend him enough.
As a recent transplant to Austin, I had very specific ideas about was I was looking for in a rental home and Jay Boeckman was absolutely wonderful! He made the entire process of relocating and finding the right house extremely easy. He was amazing and I highly recommend his services to anyone that is looking for a great real estate professional in the Austin area, you really cant go wrong with him! Thanks again!
I initially worked with Austin Luxury Realty over a year ago. Andrew was able to help me find an apartment that was perfect for me and he was extremely pleasant to work with. This year I went back to them to purchase a house, and worked with Andrew once again. These guys have a great understanding of the Austin market, and also close relationships with others in the business which can really help when buying a house. Andrew was very responsive during the entire process, which helped tremendously. Buying a house can be difficult enough, but Andrew made it pretty easy. I highly recommend Austin Luxury Realty to anyone looking to buy or lease in the near future.
I highly recommend Katie Hobbs! We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us with our move from Atlanta to Austin. She went way above and beyond to find us the perfect place to start our new adventure in Austin.
What a great experience! I have worked with Andrew Holbrook & Liz Hart on three separate occasions.Andrew helped me find renters for my rental property in Tarrytown. He found me two tenants and I am so grateful to him because my house has never been unoccupied. He did everything... background checks, lease, etc. It was so easy and stress free! Very professional let alone a great guy!Liz was so great to work with as well. She helped my find my apartment in downtown Austin. The apartment I moved into wasnt available but she knew it was coming on the market and I was able to see it before anyone else. She is passionate, knowledgeable of the area and will go above and beyond to find you the perfect home!I can not recommend Andrew and Liz enough! Great Folks!!!
I found the perfect apartment and had an amazing experience while looking for it thanks to Michelle Albanese. She is kind and sweet, something great when you need patience and have lots of questions about what will be your future home. She also knows Austin like the palm of her hand, something that comes handy to get tips on where to eat and shop, but also which neighborhoods are better than others.Michelle had plenty of options based on our needs and she never replied back to our requirements with negatives but rather looked for better matches. The day we went to visit our short-listed options was a delight thanks to her friendliness and smart planning.To top all of this, she is very honest. She wont lie about the goods and bads of a place based on her personal interests. My husband and I loved working with her.We both look forward to working with Michelle again when buying a house and recommend her highly.
Clarissa helped us move from Michigan to Texas with ease--she was very attentive to our needs and listened to our ideal housing situation which resulted in us finding the perfect home! We are beyond happy with our experience working with Clarissa at Austin Luxury Realty, and so grateful for them!
I used Nick Nikolopoulos from Austin Luxury Realty as my agent for a rental that actually was posted with 1836 realty. The mass amount of issues that I have had with 1836 are an entirely different story - However, Nick with ALR was an excellent realtor. He helped me in every step of the process of dealing with them, was extremely flexible when it came to showings, he was very quick and professional with all of his communication with me. I would 100% recommend them to anyone in Austin and truly wish that ALR is who had my home listed so that I could have avoided 1836 altogether. All in all, 5 stars for my experience with this company!
I wanted to say that if you are looking for someone that has your interest in mind and will be on your side when negotiating rent or a mortgage, Katie Hobbs is your agent. I have had many years of renting and buying and Katie has topped all of my past realtors in professionalism and going the extra mile so that everything was customized to our needs.
Nicholas Nikolopoulos was incredibly helpful, and I can not recommend him and Austin Luxury Realty enough. My husband and I were staying in an AirB&B, didnt have a car, and needed to find an apartment in a matter of a few days. If it werent for Nicks help, sound advice, and generosity with his time I dont think we would have found our apartment. We couldnt be happier in our new place---the location is exactly what we wanted. Our experience with Austin Luxury Realty has exceeded our expectations in every way.
Just completed my third home transaction with Gary Smith of Austin Luxury Realty. Each deal has gone smoothly, and I felt confident with Gary in our corner throughout the process.
They helped me find the perfect place to fit my needs in a timely fashion. I highly recommend their services.
As far as apartment hunting, only use these guys if you want to do all the work and let them take the finders fee. Worst apt hunting experience of my life. Be prepared to be abandoned at 1st sign of application issues.Apt hunter, Cortney, had me check out of hotel and Uber across Austin, in the pouring rain, with all my luggage, under pretext of moving in. Only on arrival was it disclosed that there was an issue with app. Courtney later shows up long enough to dump me and all my luggage at a prev apt we looked at.Does not even stick around long enough to see I got moved in... Which I did not.Fiasco cost me extra night in hotel, 100 in Uber and full day of work.Subsequent hunter with different company was very good and had no problem working through any hiccup on my app.The apt the Courtney referred me to then proceeded to Xfer 575.00 from my checking acct 2 days later. ???The Issue is still being investigated by personal bank.
Brandon did a great job of helping me move back to town. I love my new place!
Noe was great. Hes helped me find my past two apartments
Very incompetent group and high turn around. No ownership in clients account and they get data lost
I recently moved from Brooklyn, NY to be with my children and their families who live here in Austin. Its a big move for a 66 year old guy who was born and raised in the Big Apple and a culture shock as well. My kids have been a tremendous help and I would be amiss if I didnt mention the help that Michelle Albanese gave me in easing into this new city. Unlike real estate people Ive dealt with in the past Michelle really took the time to get to know me and my goals as far as a place to live were concerned. Having been in Sales and Marketing for over 40 years I know the importance of listening to my clients. And Michelle did listen and understood exactly what I wanted and never showed me anything outside of my goals. Im looking forward to moving on up in the next 12 months and you can bet that there will be only one person I plan on working with and thats Michelle Albanese.
Brandon did an amazing job helping me find a place to rent. I was overwhelmed by all the apartment hunting sites and apps until I contacted him, but he found the perfect rental for me and exceeded my expectations!
I bought a Condo 6 months ago and Andrew Holbrook from Austin Luxury Realty represented me.It was such a great experience, great costumer service, and very professional. Even my banker was surprised of how efficient he and his staff are.He really listened to us and understood our necessities, he showed us just the best options without wasting our time.And voilà, he doest only found exactly what we were looking for, but also, he did a great negotiation.Today we are very happy in our new home and completely convinced that we did a great deal.Thanks Andrew and Austin Luxury Realty staff for your helpCarlos Gonzalez
As the owner of a single rental property, called on Austin Luxury Realty to help me find new tenants. Andrew Holbrook was a God-send. He put the house on the MLS and handled all the showing, set up a drop box, vetted the applicants and ran background checks, and even provided all the lease and pet agreement documents that were better than the free ones Id been using. He got the house listed in the right places to the right market. His service spared me a lot of time I would have spent on Craigslist and rushing over to show the house. To me, it was well worth the commission he earned to have his support--and Austin Luxury Realty takes significantly less than most brokers, who require a full months rent. It was a pleasure to work with them and I will return for more support when my new tenants are ready to move on.
From the moment I met Mr. Connell I knew that he was our agent. The professionalism, confidence and knowledge he possesses are second to none.Our home was listed with another agent for 66 days. We had three showings that occurred in the very beginning followed by absolutely nothing. Mr. Connell re-listed our property with the right marketing, pictures,and description. We immediately had several showings and within 4 days we had a offer and contract. The entire process, from signing the listing agreement to signing the closing documents was seamless. Mr. Connell kept us updated and informed every step of the way, in fact he went above and beyond anything we expected. We are a high-touch, demanding client and there was never a moment that we did not have full confidence in the manner everything was being handled.We look forward to working with Mr. Connell on all of our future real estate related endeavors.
