I have had the pleasure of working with Don for both the purchase of my condo twelve years ago and the sale of it just recently. On both occasions he has proved to be not just a highly knowledgeable and attentive professional but also a wonderful and humorous companion through the emotional highs and lows of dealing with a real estate transaction. Additionally I have learned so much from him in both taking care of my home and general history and anecdotes about Austin neighborhoods. His roots run deep in the city. Couldn’t recommend him more.

It is deeply personal selling a home after living there for 20 years. Don has been in the business long enough to know how to make what could so easily be a long process to a short and timely one with his knowledge, and all his many resources and affiliations, but most importantly he has the respect and compassion for all involved from the sellers, and the buyers, to the agents. He’s proactive in seeing the features from the issues and has an incredible eye for detail for setting up the successful and efficient turn around time of a home sale. He has an abundance of well vetted contacts and a good relationship with all of them. His knowledge about construction expedites every step that needs to happen while preparing a home for market then resolving any last minute requests in the process of a sale. I highly recommend Don Sembera for either the buying or the selling of a home.

Don Sembera is very personable, diligent and thorough. He cares about his clients and the property for sale.

Outstanding service and commitment to the listing. Above and beyond effort and care taking. Thank you.

I would highly recommend Don as an exceptional agent to future Moreland clients. Totally committed to his clients, Don was available to me at any time, was very responsive, kind and supportive. He had more thorough knowledge of my property than any other agent I have dealt with in the past. I appreciated his anticipation of possible issues and strategies when it came to pricing and negotiating. I can't think of an area in which my experience with Don could have been improved.

I have already recommended Don to others. Refreshing to have a competent person in your corner.

I was really fortunate to have a realtor like Don Sembera, who had the experience and skill to help me with a challenging situation that came up with my neighbors as I was selling my home. He was equally skilled at helping me get the house ready to show, and then advising me through contract negotiations and closing. Don also has a great sense of humor so he was fun to work with, a real plus whenever I got really stressed.

Don is an excellent resource for any real estate question or transaction. He has a long list of reliable contacts for any type of house repair (small to large) and has good relationships with those contacts. He has a great eye for seeing the potential in a property and creating the steps to realize the potential. He is friendly, knowledgable and a delight to work with.

Don is an outstanding realtor with a great knowledge of the Austin market, especially in West Austin and Westlake. He is very responsive and great about following up on potential deals with clients and other realtors. We are so grateful that Don helped us close on our dream home!

We have been a buyer or seller of many homes over the years and the experience with Don Sembera was flawless. Don was on top of each step of the process and interactions between us and the buyer's agent, inspectors, and title company. He assisted in the pre -sale preparations suggesting painting and minor updating, and ideas for staging. Prior to establishing the sales price, Don provided information on the comparable homes recently sold and currently for sale, some of which we then toured. We received a cash offer within 24 hours of listing. The final price was negotiated and we closed 10 days later.

When I met Don Sembera twenty some odd years ago I never gave a thought to needing his services. After all, I had just built my forever, dream home and was never going to leave. Well, life surprises you with changes. When discussing my desire to sell my property with my closest friends who were also considering selling, they indicated they were going to engage Don and it would be in my best interest to talk with him. I will be forever grateful for the recommendation and the experience. I've never met a real estate agent like Don. He has extraordinary of knowledge of the luxury market ( I had no experience ) which was extremely useful in guiding my preparation to sell my home. He helped me understand what clients would be expecting and how to execute enhancing changes. When a difficult and stressful issue arose requiring the use of an attorney, Don's past experiences and communications with the attorney helped bring about a satisfactory conclusion for both parties. His negotiation skills came through when the buyer made the decision to purchase the originally offered three pieces of property instead of two. This was a much hoped for conclusion! There was never a time when Don did not have time to offer support when I had difficulties making decisions or explaining things numerous times to ensure I understood. It is evident that Don loves his job in the way he works with, gets to know and cares for his clients. I would not hesitate to engage Don again or highly recommend him to anyone.

We have used Don Sembera more than once for buying and selling houses, and I would never want to do it without him. He has great suggestions that we would never think of, and he follows through on everything. Seriously, we can't praise him enough. And he cares about the people on both ends of the transaction, which matters to us.
