"We recently had the pleasure of working with Barbara Siegwalt to buy our first house, and it was a very positive experience from start to finish. Barb's professionalism, expertise, and dedication made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. As first-time homebuyers, we had many questions and uncertainties, but Barb was incredibly attentive and patient, taking the time to explain every step and ensuring we felt comfortable throughout. Her deep knowledge of the local market and her keen understanding of our needs helped us find the perfect home. Barb's communication skills are exceptional. She kept us well-informed at every stage, promptly answering all our questions and providing updates on new listings and potential opportunities. Her proactive approach and attention to detail ensured that we never missed a great opportunity. My wife and I highly recommend Barbara Siegwalt to anyone in need of a dedicated, knowledgeable, and trustworthy REALTOR. Thank you, Barb, for making our first home-buying journey a wonderful experience! Barb was awesome to work with"

"Barb has been absolutely incredible. She made the process of moving to Texas for Tram and I very easy. She knows the area, the market, and is very knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend her to others. Thanks so much again!"

"Barb was great. Very hands on, helpful, hard worker and gave us great advice and suggestions to make our home look beautiful. We used her due to a referral from our next door neighbor who sold their house quickly. We now understand why. Our house sold in 2 1/2 weeks though she told us to expect 30-60 days. She arranged constant showings between home buyers and agents. Very personable and professional too. Nothing but good things to report."

"Barb did an excellent job in helping me sell my first home! She was very attentive and detailed throughout the entire process, and will recommend her to anyone needing real estate advice in the Austin area. At first, I was afraid of the process of selling a house, but she made the process run smoothly and easy to understand from my initial email to Austin Realty to the day of signing and after. Will forever be grateful to her and Steve! "

"Mark and I had a very good experience with Barb Siegwalt. In this changing market where houses seemed to fly off the market so quickly, Barb was able to respond quickly to view a house. She was knowledgeable about the steps it takes to put in a winning offer and how to navigate the mortgage company. I would suggest her to anyone who is selling or buying a house."
- Micka Z.

Don and I want to express our appreciation for the excellent service that you provided for us in our search for the perfect home in the perfect location for us in Austin. You were so responsive and helpful with comps, as well as costs for repairs that helped our negotiations. You will get referrals from us!"

"I was extremely happy to work with Barb and Steve. Very nice folks and very capable real estate agents. They were always responsive to my requests for information and always willing to go the extra mile to provide me with the information I needed. I particularly appreciated the way they represented my interests, as opposed to merely trying to get a quick sale. The most significant thing I can say about them is that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy a piece of Hill Country property."
- Torben G.
★★★★★
"I cannot say enough about the experience. When we were strapped to the limit, Steve and Barb stepped up and helped in many ways. Our goal was to sell at a price we believed would be right. It turned out perfect, and within a reasonable time during and very difficult market with the COVID-19 issues, it worked out perfectly. Thanks to them and to Compass."

Truly the best people in our community."

"Steve got us the best deal possible, and without him, we wouldn't be where we are today. Our experience was a journey due to the government shutdown, but Steve and everyone else involved persevered. Throughout the whole experience, Steve assured me the house would be ours, and he was right. Steve is an asset to Compass because he is very knowledgeable and gave me in-depth information when it came to the house and everything else that went with the whole process. Thank you."
- Manny V.

"This is my second purchase and sale with Barb and Steve Siegwalt, and I couldn't be happier. Over the years I've bought and sold many homes, and the Siegwalt's are hands down the best Realtors I've worked with. They are quick to respond, come up with great ideas, truly listen and go above and beyond to help you. You can't go wrong with the Siegwalt team!"

"My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Barb (and as a bonus, Steve). She was there every step of the way for us. We wanted a home in a pretty short time frame, and she was able to settle a close date for two weeks after finding our future home (not to mention arranged for us to close virtually because we had a family vacation that we already planned for that day). To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement! It was a great experience."
- Monica D.
★★★★★
"My wife and I met with Barb Siegwalt of Compass at the recommendation of our friends who, two years prior, had a great experience purchasing their first home with her as their agent. Their recommendation was a good one because we had an entirely positive experience as well. Barb was very knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions or meet us to view properties. When it came time to put an offer, she provided suggestions that made complete sense respective to my wife's and my plans and finances then helped us craft an offer that ultimately got us the property we loved. I can't say enough about how helpful and accommodating Barb was or how smooth (with relatively minimal anxiety) the whole process was with her guidance. My wife and I recommend her to anyone looking to buy property in Austin or its surroundings!"

★★★★★
"Janice and I cannot thank Barbara and Steve enough for selling our home, their professionalism and their tremendous after sales support. The amount of attention they gave to preparing our home for sale was excellent. Their commitment to holding open houses was more than we expected. In the end, they facilitated the sale when we wanted to sell and for the price we wanted. Helping us close the house quickly and getting the lease back allowed us the time and security we needed to make the move, knowing we would close on time. This was critically important to our specific situation. The help they provided to help us dispose of things we didn't want to move took a lot of pressure off the process and allowed us to focus on the move. In the end, even though selling a house and moving can be a stressful experience, their help, and support took a great deal of the stress off our shoulders. We would whole heartily recommend their services to our friends."
- Richard + Janice

"Friends gave me Barbara's name and hosted me as Barb and I went to work. The entire process still amazes me as I sit here in my \new to me\" home. Barbara knew exactly what to do, did it, and persevered with ease, assurance, and good faith throughout. I can hardly believe how fortunate I am that Barbara really cares about her clients! I remain ever grateful that Barbara helped me find the best home possible for me!"
- Mary Ann G.
★★★★★
"We moved here from Washington State and Barb not only helped us with finding a rental house but also was our realtor when we bought our house. She was quick to respond to us, professional and above all extremely easy to deal with. She is absolutely the best realtor I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with hands down. We have recommended her to our friends which is something we don't take lightly and neither did they. With Barb its a no brainer, she's a cut above the rest."

Forever grateful what she did for me!"
