Realty Austin

Laura Olesen Highly Recommended!. Laura 'Ole' Olesen is awesome! I'm pretty sure when selling our condo we encountered just about every crazy realty home selling situation you can imagine. From international buyers, multiple offer situations, to our condo flooding just a few days before the closing date... Ole was able to make it all smooth and made all the right calls. She was able to get us way more than what we thought we were going to get as well. Thanks again Ole!! We highly recommend her!…

Realty Austin (Rosalia Chiu) - the best. I am highly satisfied with Rosalia Chiu’s performance. When I first found her information via the Internet, I sent her an email to ask some general information. She not only responded quickly via email but she immediately called me and introduced herself.

She is quick to respond and is knowledgeable, honest and fair -- no false promises from her. She takes the time to explain things (market values/analysis) and keeps me updated on a weekly basis. She did exactly what needed to be done to market and sale the house. She knows the market, she crunches numbers for me, and she knows how to stage the home. She is not afraid to tell me what needed to be done under the circumstances. She also uses every channel of her network to get my home out there and to get buyers to the house. She definitely gets results! She is hard-working and is certainly a valuable asset to any company.…

Gretchen Janzow. My husband already wrote a great review for this company on Yahoo, but I feel so strongly about the wonderful service we received that I feel compelled to add another review here. My husband and I were first drawn to Realty Austin's website because we were buying a home in the north suburbs of Austin while living in Hawaii, and the pictures on this site were the best- being that we were only going to be able to fly out for 2 days to look at homes, this was incredibly important. The realtor we were assigned was Gretchen Janzow- wow, were we lucky. She took the time to show us the homes we were interested in on our limited time frame. When we found our dream house, we quickly found out that we were in a multiple offer situation. Being first time home buyers, her input and guidance was crucial in us winning the "bidding war". During this time, Gretchen didn't seem to mind contacting us well into the evening- she easily put in a 12 hour day to help us get the home we wanted.

Her help did not end there. While I'm sure Gretchen is a busy woman, especially with how amazing of a realtor she is, she truly made us feel like we were her only customers. She answered all of our questions (and believe me, I asked a TON of questions) and was easily the most accessible person we dealt with throughout the last couple months. She was extremely knowledgeable about the entire process, and was more than willing to find out anything we wanted to know. To add to this, she was extremely flexible working with our time difference- being in Hawaii meant that we often needed to call her well after the end of a typical work day. Few people would be as attentive, understanding, and pleasant being called at 9pm for work (I'm so sorry Gretchen! You are a gem!). While you might not have a 5 hour time difference to deal with, that attitude of accessibility and dedication will show in your interaction with Gretchen.

We absolutely recommend using Gretchen Janzow- not only will she help you find the perfect home for you, she will also make the complex process as easy as possible. With Gretchen, you don't have to worry about dealing with a pushy "sales person" type personality- she shows that she genuinely cares about helping her customers find a home that they will love. It is so clear that she is passionate about what she does, and is willing to go the extra mile for her clients. Thank you Gretchen!…

Thank you Rosalia Chiu for your outstanding job helping us!. Rosalia Chiu, Realty Austin, did an outstanding job in helping us find a wonderful lot on Lake Travis. She listened very attentively to our desires and did a great job showing us what was available. We were out of town buyers, therefore it was very important to us that our search was very efficient and Rosalia made sure we did not waste our limited time. She also took the initiate to set up appointments for several builders to evaluate lot building suitability which was critical to our decision. She was also very helpful and knowledge during the closing process. We highly recommend Rosalia if you are looking for a real estate agent. She did an outstanding job for us!…
