Kristen Balke

We have worked with Kristen for four years now, starting when she helped us buy a home in Austin, and we keep coming back because she is simply outstanding. She recently sold our house in Buda, and even in a challenging market, she delivered a smooth closing through sheer effort and expertise. What sets Kristen apart is how personally invested she is in every sale. She didn't just list our house and wait — she coordinated staging, arranged landscaping, showed the property herself, identified strong buyers, and closed the deal. When unexpected inspection complications came up, she guided us through them with confidence and clarity. She helped us navigate multiple offers and provided a sharp pricing strategy that kept us grounded and informed throughout the process. Kristen is warm, professional, and always available. She knows the Austin-area market inside and out, and her responsiveness is remarkable — we never felt like we were waiting for answers. She is as skilled at finding and closing buyers as she is easy to work with. We trust Kristen so much that she is currently selling another home for us. If you want a realtor who will treat your transaction like it's her own, Kristen is the one to call.

Extremely professional. She assisted me in finding a property quickly, which at the time was supremely stressful. Given that I was coming from out of state, and had to drive a great distance, she went out her way to accommodate and make me comfortable in a new and foreign (to me) location. It was a satisfying venture, and our relationship was most amiable. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.

Kristen is incredibly patient and always took the time to explain everything clearly, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was how genuinely supportive and responsive she is. We always felt heard and never rushed, and her steady guidance gave us confidence in every decision. Beyond being highly professional and knowledgeable, Kristen is truly a wonderful person to work with.

This is my second property that I’ve worked with Kristen on. I purchased a condo with her and sold one . She also worked with me on renting one of the Units. Kristen is so knowledgeable and prompt about getting things done . She truly loves her job ! You can call, text & email and she’ll get right back to you. If she doesn’t have the answer… she’ll get it ! If you have any real-estate needs or questions …please reach out to Kristen, she won’t be just your realtor… she’ll be your friend!

Kristen is the kind of agent who feels more like a great friend guiding you through a real estate transaction. She was a great listener, always there to help me with any questions, she had great advice and took care of all details and follow up with thoughtful attention. She made the entire process so easy, I never worried about anything. I knew she was truly on my side and looking out for my best - just like a good friend. That is an outstanding real estate agent to me. I would recommend her to anyone wanting the best.

Kristen was great to work with! My husband and I were moving from Arizona to Texas and Kristen was a great help. She knew the area well, and she was very flexible in working with us while we were not physically in Texas. Kristen responded quickly to everything, and she was available through text, email, and phone calls. Once we found the home we loved, Kristen was a large help in facilitating the home buying process. She is incredibly knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. She also helped us with processes after the close, like giving us information on exemptions. She continued to check in with us as well as we settled into Texas. If the need arises, I will definitely work with Kristen again on buying/selling my home.
