Client Testimonials
" Jennifer is an all around amazing realtor! We hired her to help us with two things: 1) to sell our house and 2) to buy or build. We were new at all of those things so we needed someone who was willing to go the extra mile and help us each step of the way. Jennifer was incredible! She was very informative about how to stage and prepare our house for the buyers and also receive the selling price we wanted. Our house sold in 8 hours for a higher asking price than the surrounding comps. She helped us with our decision to build our next home, which was a bit scary, but she confidently walked us through the process from beginning to end. She has an eye for design, layout and what will make your life easier so we gladly took her advice. We highly recommend using her in any and all capacities when selling, buying or building a house.

"We had the pleasure of working with Jen Graf in early 2020 to find and purchase our first home. From our initial meeting, what had been a very stressful process became an exciting one. We immediately knew that Jen genuinely cared about us and valued our opinions, needs, and limitations regarding our future home purchase. Jen's wealth of knowledge about the Austin area led to the curation of a short list of neighborhoods within our price range. She helped us devise an efficient plan for visiting homes and worked off of our schedule to take us to see the listings in which we were interested. She never pressured us toward a decision or asked us to view homes outside our price range. She was also honest and direct with us when we asked for her opinion. This was most important during the inspection and negotiation process, once we decided on making an offer.
We ended up purchasing a home during a difficult time. It was the beginning of the COVID-19 quarantine, and on top of that, we were out of town. Jen navigated this difficult scenario expertly, and we never had remorse about any decision we made. We feel so lucky to have gotten to work with Jen throughout this process. We strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an efficient, stress-free home search in Austin. We can't wait to have her over for dinner in our new home once the world returns to normal." - David Walker and Ellen Cox
" Jen stewarded us through our home buying process in East Austin. I am honestly not certain how anyone would go through a home closing without Jen. She's that good. Jen led us through every intricate detail of contract legalese and processes, made herself readily available for any questions we had --- small, large, and however silly they may have been, and mentored us through the negotiation process as it became a bidding exchange. She's highly knowledgeable about the Austin marketplace, extremely professional, and working with her was truly a delight. Thank you, Jen! " - Donna Lagow
