We moved to the Austin area from Oregon for work, and buying a house from 2,000 miles away is exactly as stressful as it sounds. Doug made it manageable. He knew the difference between neighborhoods that look similar online but aren't — commute, terrain, school zoning, HOA situation — and he was straight with us when a house didn't fit rather than just trying to get us to an offer. Where he really earned it was on price. We had a hard budget and he didn't waste our time on listings above it. On the home we bought, he read the seller's position accurately and negotiated us a number we were genuinely happy with. He also handled the long-distance logistics — walkthroughs, video tours, inspection coordination We closed and our family is settled. Would recommend him to anyone relocating here.
