When we met Karin we were just looking for a place to rent. She took us under her wing and helped us find a great place to settle into. She was so helpful that when we were ready to buy a house there was no question who would be our realtor. This is not our first experience buying a house, but this was by-far our best experience with a realtor. From the beginning she was perfectly tuned into us. She listened to what we wanted when we started and used our reactions to showings and offers to fine turn our search. She perfectly rode the fine line between not being pushy while still actively moving us forward in the process. She was patient with us while we were in the browsing mode and immediately shifted gears when we decided to get serious about putting in offers. Even with an incredibly low inventory market, she was able to line up multiple houses that we would have been happy to have. During this process I saw her outperform every other realtor I’ve worked with in the past. She knows a surprising amount about house construction and maintenance. Sees the details, has a nose for what you need to pay attention to. She really understands the Austin market and gave us spot-on advice on how to negotiate and make a successful offer. Once we had a successful offer she worked every facet of the purchase, coordinating with all the parties involved (lender, inspector, appraiser, etc.) She always had quick responses to our question and lit a fire under anyone who was dragging their feet. When the lender seriously dropped the ball, she single-handedly pulled everything back together and kept the sellers engaged long enough to fix all the issues. We ended up miraculously getting what we consider the best possible house for a reasonable price in a tough market. It was an amazing experience and we can’t recommend her enough. Choosing the right realtor makes an incredible difference in your outcome. You can’t go wrong by choosing Karin.
