"We loved working with Barbara! She is meticulous, detail oriented, and very professional. Working with her made us feel confident. When offers did arrive she was thorough in explaining the contractual nuances of each of them and provided good input towards next steps. She is excellent at communicating with her clients and letting them know where you are in the process and how the market is performing. She is proactive on the marketing side of your home and does a great job creating listings. Barbara was a gem. Our market conditions were not terrific for selling a home but she stuck with us, held open houses as often as possible, and kept a positive upbeat attitude throughout! We were successful! Thank you Barbara!"

"As first-time sellers, we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor! She guided us through every step of the process with patience, clarity, and expert advice. Barbara's knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and warm, professional approach made us feel confident and supported from start to finish. She made what felt like a daunting process feel manageable and even exciting. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, we had a smooth sale and a great outcome. We’re so grateful for her help and highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking to buy or sell!"

"Amazing. Meticulous. Detail oriented. Barbara helped us sell our house after renting. We were out of town and she managed every detail to make our house shine. We went under contract in less than 30 days. Couldn’t have done it without her. Highly recommend."

"Barbara is a total pro! And she knows Austin like the back of her hand. Her knowledge of the market helped guide our decision to lease our property and sell at a later time. She walked us through everything. She is very thorough and responsive. We absolutely loved working with Barbara and highly recommend her to anyone needing an agent to sell or to lease."

"Barbara helped my husband and I find & purchase our first home in Austin, TX and our experience working with her was nothing short of excellent! Barbara immediately took our preferences into consideration and made the entire process feel quick and effortless in an otherwise tricky housing market. She was clearly experienced and extremely professional & communicative throughout the entire process. More recently, it came time for us to find a temporary renter for our newly owned property and we didn't hesitate to reach out to Barbara for her support. Again, she made the process of finding a suitable renter simple and seamless. I look forward to working with Barbara in the future and would highly recommend her services to anyone with real estate needs."

"We loved working with Barbara! Her experience and professionalism made us feel confident throughout the entire process of selling our home. When we received offers, Barbara researched the funding, and other factors that we would’ve never thought about, so we were able to select the best offer for our situation. Barbara is great at communicating with her clients and other realtors. She has an easy and open style, knowing what to say and when to say it—perfect for negotiations! On top of all this, she is just a pleasure to be around—fresh air and sunshine!"

"I just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with Barbara’s ethics and get the job done attitude. Our property had been in the family for decades and only after we received offers did we find out that the original survey showed easements since the subdivide was done before the driveway to the property, was turned into a county road. Barbara worked with surveyors, county officials, and the title company to finally understand what was needed in order to sell the property. We have already recommended her to other people because Barbara continually went above and beyond to take care of us."

"I can't thank Barbara enough for guiding me through the process of selling my first home. From first contact to closing, Barbara impressed with constant professionalism, excellent communication, patience, and charm. She and her team of contacts exceeded my expectations every step of the way. A true joy to work with. Highly recommended."

"We wanted to share our experience with Realty Austin. Our agent Barbara DeBow interviewed us for needs before arriving from out of state. The first property she showed us is now the home we picked for our University of Texas student and daughter. Barbara showed us several properties in the geographical areas we wanted. She was very professional and knowledgeable, and very kind. We had specific needs from a title company. Barbara was awesome at connecting the dots to make the closure process easy. I highly recommend both Barbara and Realty Austin for your home purchase in the future. 5 stars all the way."

"I absolutely loved my experiences with Barbara DeBow. She helped me find a one-bedroom condo in Austin, Texas for when I moved here in August to start pharmacy school at the University of Texas. She made not knowing anything about the city such a less stressful task. She showed us a wide range of options that, of course, were fit to our budgets and very diverse. She even showed us a house which was a refreshing change as well, although we did end up buying a condo in the Rosedale area. The condo she found for us has absolutely met my needs as far as location, quietness, being such a well-kept complex, being gated, having a tight-knit community, and also having a gym for residents, etc. What was great about Barbara was that I didn’t even choose my current condo out of the list that she gave me before we started. However, upon meeting in Austin, she really thought I missed a hidden gem with this place, and she was totally right. It was the first condo we saw, and even then, I wasn’t sold, but after a couple of days of looking, I fell in love with it. She was so professional but also very friendly to my parents and me. We wouldn’t have had a better time with any other realtor. Barbara made the transition of coming from Louisiana to Austin so much easier, and I’m grateful for that. I would highly recommend her to others searching for homes."

"I loved working with Barbara! As a first-time homeowner, I often felt overwhelmed with the process, but Barbara was incredibly helpful in navigating the ins and outs of home buying. She is very enthusiastic, hard-working, and keen—it only took one showing with her before she knew the exact style we envisioned for our new home. She worked tirelessly to find us our home, and I felt very confident in her negotiations as we worked to close. And honestly, I just really enjoyed talking to her and getting to know her! I have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so, and if we move in the future, I hope to work with her again!"

"I recently listed and sold my home in Austin with Barbara DeBow of Realty Austin, and she was amazing! She was responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and a pleasure to do business with. She went above and beyond to assist with every aspect of the sale. I am so thankful for all of her help. I can't imagine using any other agent. If you are looking to buy or sell Barbara DeBow at Realty Austin is a no-brainer!"

Barbara began her career in real estate in 2006. Prior to that, she was a licensed cosmetologist and enjoyed 23 years of providing service to her clients. She learned early in her career the value of customer service and listening carefully to what the client’s wants and needs are and those skills translate to assisting her clients with their real estate transactions today.
Barbara is very familiar with Austin and the unique personalities of neighborhoods, having lived throughout the city over the years. You can find her on her daily walks around Town Lake (aka Lady Bird Lake for the newcomers!) with her dog Roxanne. She also enjoys the amazing restaurants Austin has to offer, the live music scene, the arts, or simply hanging out on the great lawn at Zilker Park.
Austin is a charitable and giving city and Barbara enjoys being a part of such a generous community. Some of her favorite charities to be involved with are SAFE (formerly Safe Place and Austin Children’s Shelter), Habitat for Humanity, Center for Child Protection, Austin Parks Foundation, Central Texas Table of Grace.
