Womack Real Estate and Kristen Balke did an amazing job for me.
They were with me every step of the way and help make the search, buying, closing and move in transition very simple and easy.

Kristen was the best realtor that I've worked with, hand down! She was very attentive to my property purchase and she made sure that the transaction flows smoothly. She was also very responsive to my questions and concerns. I would recommend Kristen to anybody who is looking for a realtor. Thank you Kristen!

I highly recommend Kristen for all real estate needs.

We worked with JC Adams to sell our Austin home in late October 2021. We had a very positive experience with him, and we highly recommend JC. Before my partner and I decided to list our home, we met with a few agents to determine which one we could work well with. When we first met JC, we knew. He makes you feel comfortable and listens to your needs. JC does his research, and you can tell. Out of all the agents we met, JC is more practical and fair in his assessment based on data and experience. My partner had a very high expectation, and JC checked all the boxes. He is knowledgeable, proactive, and responsive, making it easy to work with him. Highly recommend JC.

JC does a great job with attention to detail and ensuring he has answers to your questions as you navigate the process of a home purchase. JC understands the process of the transaction in a home purchase and makes sure the details are covered.

I was going through a very stressful time and the thought of having to worry about getting my parent's house sold was overwhelming. JC made the whole experience smooth and organised. He knows his stuff and one feels in capable hands. Great communication, great knowledge of selling and buying. I definitely recommend JC and Realty Austin.

My wife and I were relocating to Austin and while searching for homes online we came across a relocation guide offered by Realty Austin. Lucky for us, JC was the realtor that responded in regards to our inquiry. He reached out to us by email to see if we'd received the guide and had any questions and asked if we'd be interested in a short conversation so he could learn about our situation. During this first call, he learned about why we were moving and what we were interested in for a new home. He set up a portal for us to check out some homes online where we could note comments, likes, dislikes, etc. Keep in mind this was more than a year away from when we told him we were targeting a move, but he just wanted to get us used to the market, styles of homes, and different areas of Austin. Forward a couple of months and we were ready to make a physical trip to scout some properties and meet with JC and a few other realtors we had met online. After meeting in person, we felt a connection with JC on a personal level and felt that he'd done the little things such as understanding our situation of why we were relocating and what we were looking for in a property, so we decided to use him as our realtor. I think on this scouting trip we spent about two days with him driving to different areas and looking at various homes that were for sale. He did this knowing that we were still a year away from moving, he didn't have to spend all this time with us but he did because he cares about his clients and loves to show homes. It was a good thing we did, because we ended up looking at a new construction builder that met all of our requirements on our last day of the trip. We flew home and then later called JC and let him know that we found the builder that we wanted to use. A couple of months later we flew back out and signed the contract, this was May 2018. We closed in Aug. 2019. JC didn't go away during this build process. He was closely involved throughout the process and served as our proxy checking on the house construction process while we were still living out of state. He always responded quickly to our questions either via email or phone, depending on the urgency of the question. He helped guide us through the entire build process, including walking us through an inspection, lender selection, as well as inspectors punch list for the builder. In my opinion, JC went above and beyond his duties as a real estate agent and I would highly recommend him to anyone I know looking for a home as well as use him again for any future real estate transactions.

JC is awesome. We sold our house and were in the market for a new one. He worked day and night trying to find us a house that we liked, even though we were continually changing our minds. His job was tough because of where we set our budget and the area we wanted to be in. He was nothing but positive. I am super happy that we used him and I know we’ve got a friend for life! Thanks JC - the whole process was made better by his wisdom and sense of humor. We will definitely use him in the future!

Ruth helped us to view many houses and (over months) to make multiple offers in a really, really tough market for buyers. Our low bids were our own fault! Ruth's guesses are always spot on. We finally had a bid accepted last month, and Ruth helped us re-negotiate after significant problems were discovered. Ruth has gone above and beyond for us, giving us far more time during this long search than we could reasonably have expected. She even helped us look for a rental when we'd basically given up. Her advice has always been immensely valuable and brutally honest. She is the most knowledgeable agent I've met on the Central Austin market. She also handled our stress well, and believe me, buying in Austin right now is stressful!

We had a great experience with agent Kasey Gilliam, both coming and going! Kasey helped us find our lovely home five years ago, then helped us sell it again when we moved back east. She knows the market and has broad experience with Austin neighborhoods and homes. We trusted her advice — and she was always available when we had questions. She and her team kept our house safe and managed what felt like a million showings. We would happily work with Kasey again if we ever return to Austin, and are happy to sing her praises!

Corrine was amazing in helping identify the perfect investment property in the Austin area. As a remote investor, you need someone that's hands-on and has in-depth knowledge of the neighborhoods and willing to go that extra mile to do the due diligence. And Corrine had all of these traits and made the process extremely seamless. She was always a step ahead and I'd highly recommend her for anyone looking to purchase in the Austin and neighboring areas!

Corrine was a great help to our family as we were anxiously trying to find a home after repatriating from abroad. She has a super attitude and made it fun and enjoyable. I felt like she was quickly understanding what particulars we hoped for in a house and tailored the search.

Best part was that she was quick to respond to our messages and questions throughout the process.

Thank you!

Corrine is an amazing person! She knew from the beginning that we were in a time crunch to find a rental property. We saw 8 properties on the first day and had several more lined up just in case. She was always quick to respond with questions and concerns and was on the ball when our rental wasn't ready on time. She is a kind and genuine person and will have your best interest at heart.

Corrine is a top class realtor. She is smart, responsive and is focused on getting the most value for her clients. She spent good time to understand my investment property requirements which was crucial for us to be on the same page on which properties to pursue and which ones to pass. Throughout the negotiation, she represented me and my needs. With her help, I was successful in buying a Class A property in a great location in Austin suburbs. However she didn't stop there - she even got me my first tenant through her network! I wasn't expecting that.

Thank you Corrine :) I highly recommend Corrine for your real estate needs.

This is my second time now using Corrine Elgin (a realtor with this group), once for a lease, and once to purchase a brand new home! Corrine is kind, smart, listens to her clients wants, and does all of it without any judgement. As a first time home buyer, she made it easy to navigate and answered even questions which shouldn’t really fall to a realtor. She was an advocate with our builder and worked with us for MONTHS to make sure we were happy! We got so close my fiance even invited her when he proposed to me in the house we just bought! I recommend her to EVERYONE, you won’t be disappointed.

Corrine Elgin helped me with my first home purchase at probably one of the worst times to be a buyer in Austin. She was fantastic!! She first set up a call to go over my wants and needs and explain next steps. Then started pulling searches for me. She was very attentive and made notes and actioned on any listings I liked in the portal we worked out of. When I finally found my house, again, she was there every step of the way. Any questions I had, she answered them in a timely manner and even made some great recommendations. I also really appreciated her coming to my closing for support. I want to reiterate I had no idea what I was doing throughout this entire process and Corrine did an amazing job guiding me. In summary, Corrine and I know my situation was a bit unique and we both won’t forget it anytime soon 😂 but I truly appreciate all her hard work and would recommend her to anyone looking to invest in property!

While looking to buy my first home in ATX I partnered up with Corrine Elgin as my realtor. Corrine made the whole buying process easy to understand, with so many steps she guided me through timelines and expectations along the way. She always responded quickly to my questions, as well as if I wanted to go check out houses on my lunch break she made it happen. Corrine is very knowledgeable not only about Austin but lots of surrounding cities. She can also recommend plumbing, fencing, roofing companies, etc. I'll definitely use Corrine in the future!

After renting in Austin since 2012, Corrine Elgin turned me into an Austin homeowner! This wasn't easy, as I picked the most challenging period in recent history to be a homebuyer. Also given the parameters that I didn't want to move to the outskirts of town to be far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Corrine spent many hours each day gathering houses to consider, creating a list to visit, and driving me to probably close to 30 houses over roughly a month. We made offers on five houses that I recall, as Corrine guided me through that challenging process. And while I was approaching the point of giving up, Corrine refused to do the same -- so thankful, as it resulted in the offer on the 5th house being accepted! Every step of the way she made me feel confident enough to keep battling and it paid off. I couldn't have done it without her.

It was great working with Kiel. He understood what we really wanted in a home. When it came to the process of the contract, it was obvious how knowledgeable he was. He did exactly what we wanted while giving great advice.

Kiel was amazing. We were selling during a time when the market was not in our favor, but Kiel's persistence and expertise helped pull us through. He is very thorough, and uses data effectively, which his research emails help pinpoint where we fit in the market. We actually had many buyers during the course of the sell, and with the right assistance and coaching, we were able to attract the best buyer. Thank you Kiel! Another win for my family!

I worked with Andrew Hackemack and it was a very positive experience. Andrew and I worked together for 3 deals over a few years - 2 apartment rentals and a home purchase - in the Austin area. Andrew was both professional and personable. He worked with me closely on various properties we researched, providing timely comps and insights. The rental and purchase-closing experiences all ran smoothly. I'd highly recommend Andrew.

I worked with Andrew for over 4 months to find my dream condo! Best follow ups and best customer service! Could not recommend a better realty agent!
