Real estate teams in Austin

We’ve purchased houses before, but this was our first time selling one we owned. Before I had to deal with the unexpected challenges potential buyers can bring—like low offers and audacious “credit” requests—I was sure I could have been a great realtor. But I was completely wrong! Selling a house is more than just putting ads online and in the paper, answering lots of calls and emails to find the right people, and having open houses. A great realtor ends up being like a therapist in a surprising way. It can be tough to say goodbye to a place you’ve lived in for years, and it’s important to have someone who really cares about you and knows how to guide you through the whole process with the right advice. Lauren has the hard-earned experience to help you sell your home, and she backs it up with True Grit!

Lauren is the best realtor I've worked with in Austin. We all know that the market now is very tough, but her poise and professionalism navigating these challenges make her the cream of the crop. We've lived here for 20 years and have had worked and interacted with numerous realtors for business and personal reasons and I give her my highest recommendation possible. From start to finish she was an exceptional communicator, organized, and methodical. Despite bumps in the road, which are expected with any real estate transaction, she knew how to troubleshoot and we still achieved our goal on the date and without surprises. She was always one step ahead. She is thoughtful, realistic, and supportive throughout the process. And most importantly she delivers!!! Without Lauren, I know that our house would not have yet sold and I also wouldn't have my sanity. Protect her at all costs!

The house needed a paint touch up and some flooring clean up completed to make it look it's best. Leah had the home staged to show each area used to it's best potential. The planning and work that went into getting ready for market brought out a number of buyers on day one. Leah handled the deal quickly and efficiently, negotiating a lease back that allowed us to finish the school year and move on our timeline. It was an excellent transaction.

I had a fantastic experience working with this team. They were always quick to respond, patient with my many questions, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, but they made everything easy to understand and guided me through each step with professionalism and care. I'm so grateful for their support and would gladly recommend them to friends and family.

From our first meeting with Jaymes, we just had a feeling that he was the right agent to lead us on this journey to sell our home. Jaymes was able to immediately put our thoughts and dreams into a timeline and tell us exactly when we needed to get our house on the market in order to take advantage of prime selling season. He was superb at recommending exactly what items needed to be upgraded or changed in order to get the price we wanted. And he gave us the tools to do it. Jaymes has worked in this area for many years and has a wonderful list of tradesmen and service people who will get things done in a timely and professional manner to make a house look its best. The proof was in the sale and our house, which was on the market less than 10 days. And, sold for over asking price. The plan we set up at our first meeting worked 100% and we could not have been happier. From start to finish, this team is great. Rachel in the office kept us on schedule and kept everyone in the loop at all times. Service from everyone involved was exceptional. Our family would totally recommend and use Jaymes and his team - without hesitation!

Communications did not seem as smooth as p[ossible. Perhaps my fault but I would consider a secure documents website a nice addition. Also I would consider noting how each client wishes to communicate, either text or e-mail or phone calls and then have all agents conform to that. We believe that most of the delays and surprises were related to buyer requests.

Laura and her team will work fast and they know what moves house sales. I recommend her and her team if you are buying. I know I was not even close to the largest value property her team represented but she still showed the time needed on it to get it sold.

What I appreciated the most about working with Shea is how she responded to all of my questions and concerns along the way. She kept me abreast of steps in the process updating me with instructions like, “Here’s what you need to do by Tuesday,” “Here’s what will happen after thus & thus happens.” And my favorite: “You don’t have any homework this weekend; relax and enjoy.” Shea’s kind attention and lovely nature made what could have been an experience of overwhelming unease into a joyous one.

Laura Ivy Blessing and The Blessed Life Group have been excellent to work with as property managers for the last few years. Laura is professional, responsive, and proactive, consistently communicating clearly and handling issues efficiently. She takes great care of the property and works well with tenants, which gives me real peace of mind as an owner. I would highly recommend Laura Ivy Blessing and The Blessed Life Group to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy property management services.

We are so thankful to have worked with Daniel & Jacqueline to sell our home in Rough Hollow! They are true experts on Lakeway, which was what originally drew us to them. They were wonderful to work with — responsive, great communicators, and very detail- and process-oriented. Following their pricing and process recommendations is what allowed us to sell in just 4 days (before our open house!), while other homes on our street have sat on the market for months. They were also a huge help in getting ready to list. They had a network of vetted vendors for all the things we needed done and even helped coordinate schedules, which took so much off our plate. We are incredibly grateful and would recommend them to anyone!

We reached out to Daniel because of his and Jacquelyn's excellent reputation in the Lakeway real estate business, and they did not disappoint! We had a unique situation with the selling of our home and Daniel counseled us through every step of the process - which ultimately led to a great outcome. We are very grateful for Daniel's guidance, extensive knowledge and for his excellent communication throughout the last few months. Highly recommend!

We had an excellent experience working with Daniel Foreman to buy our new home in Lakeway. He went over and above to help find the right home for us and to facilitate an easy negotiating and closing experience. We highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Lakeway area.

We had an exceptional experience working with our realtor, Jamie Novak, while purchasing our new home in Austin, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire process. From the very beginning, she never made us feel rushed or pressured, and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. She genuinely wanted us to explore our options, and find the home that was truly right for us. She also consistently kept resale value in mind, which we really appreciated. She wasn’t just focused on helping us buy a house — she was thinking about the long-term value of the investment and making sure we were making a smart decision. She was also an excellent negotiator. She handled our requests with confidence and professionalism and did an incredible job navigating conversations with the seller. She knew how to communicate what was important to us while maintaining a great relationship throughout the process. And beyond her knowledge of the market and professionalism, her energy and enthusiasm was inspiring. She was positive, approachable, and very responsive, and made what can be a stressful experience feel exciting and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for us and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. She truly went above and beyond, and we feel very fortunate to have had her by our side.

Jamie and her team always go above & beyond, this is our 4th house purchase within our family that Jamie has helped us with. Jamie makes the process as simple as possible, clearly walking us through every step. Her knowledge of the market is amazing. We recommend Jamie to everyone!!

Jamie and Chad are the absolute best. Make it so easy and fun!
