Bryan Swafford

★★★★★
"This is my second time to get to experiencing the amazing services of Bryan Swafford with Compass but my first with selling a home. Not only did he help me navigate the home selling process with a breeze (most people talk about the anxiety surrounding selling home— I can’t relate), everything felt easy and effortless and if I didn’t understand what something meant or why cry and z had to happen, I didn’t just get a text— Bryan called, checked in, hell he made sure the house was where it needed to be with touch-ups and staging to get us top dollar for my sale. He made sure that there was no questions that went unanswered and Made sure I was always 100% satisfied with how every step of the home selling process was going. As I mentioned previously, this is my 2nd go ‘round with Bryan and Compass and if I ever plan on moving back to the beautiful hill country, he’ll be the first person I’d call. I’d highly recommend you give Bryan and the Compass team a call for all your Real Estate needs, you will not be disappointed." - Sara M.

"I have purchased a number of homes and my wife and I have to say that the service that Bryan provided has been exceptional and far above what we expected. He was at the ready when we called him out of the blue and wanted to tour a couple of homes because we were in town. He was very interested in helping identify what we were looking for. He asked great questions. We monitored the typical websites to see homes come up for sale and along with his suggestions for other homes to review, he would lead us through virtual tours of those we thought were viable options. Being that we live in California, he would tour with our Austin-based son, and using facetime he would lead us through the house and provide honest value judgments. When we finally identified the first house that we wanted to put in an offer on, he was proactive, provided similar housing valuations, and told us that the hot housing market would require us to bid much higher than the asking price. At that point, we had to trust him and we did. He always was forthright and after we didn’t get the home because our seemingly high offer was actually too low, we had even more faith in his services and acumen. The second time we went through the process, again he assessed what it would take to be successful in winning with a right-sized potential offer. The homeowner selected our offer and during the negotiations, he was able to lower our offer slightly. We feel that we were able to get our house below market value which has borne out with subsequent valuations. Further, and he has gone further for us… There are quite a few items that need to be upgraded or fixed in the home that we purchased. He has coordinated finding a handyman to complete upgrades and has helped us when items were delivered to the house by going to the house when the items were delivered. No agent I have worked with has been as professional, helpful, and offered up their time when they didn’t have to do it. We would unhesitatingly recommend Bryan with the highest marks. We will use him again in the future and would help him if he needs further recommendations." - Gary M.

"Bryan gets the job done! He worked relentlessly to negotiate for our home and when we hit some hiccups, he got them resolved so we could close on time. He really took ownership of the entire process, so it felt like we were a team buying the home with him as a ringer who knew everything about real estate and the Austin area. I couldn’t recommend him more. His calm and respectful demeanor, deep expertise, and strong work ethic make him an excellent agent." - Emma T.

★★★★★

"I could not have had a smoother time or overall better experience buying my first home than I did with Bryan Swafford and Compass! Bryan and I looked at close to a dozen properties before I found my dream property. Once we finally found the one, he totally made it happen for me with a well-crafted, well-timed offer, beating out multiple other offers, while still coming in under the appraisal value! I have to commend him and his team at Compass for making what is supposedly typically a stressful process feel relatively effortless and easy for me. In hindsight, I attribute this to a high level of general competence, attention to due diligence, proactiveness, deep experience in the real estate domain, and on top of all that, a sixth sense for what it takes to get a house into contract in Austin's competitive real estate market. Bryan was patient, responsive, professional, courteous, and personable throughout the whole process. If you're looking to buy a house in Austin, you cannot choose a better realtor than Bryan" - Daniel S.

"Bryan was assigned to me as my purchase agent when I made a request through the RA website. From the first phone call, I knew I was lucky to have him assigned. After he learned I was a remote buyer, he provided very detailed local real estate information and provided great recommendations to my property research. He was very responsive to my requests and answered my questions in a very detailed way. When I need to see properties, he always met me at the property on time. I know he has many clients, but every time when I talk with him, I feel like he is my private agent and friend. With his great services, my purchase process went through smoothly, and feel like he is one of my best friends I'v already know for years." - Lijun J.

★★★★★
"I was very nervous coming into a hot Austin market as a remote buyer. A friend who has done business with Bryan highly recommended him. Bryan guided us through the entire process. He educated us about the different neighborhoods and was patient with us through the many Facetime video tours. With his help, we made a successful offer. His attention to detail did not stop with just getting us a loan officer, appraisals, home inspection but also after closing to get the house ready for us to move in. I would highly recommend Bryan for his excellent knowledge of the Austin market and his diligence in getting all issues resolved." - S.

★★★★★
"Bryan was great to work with. Stayed persistent with us in a very arduous home search, had great tips on how to renovate, and even helped us get the house in good shape after closing. Highly recommend him, especially in this tough market." - Josh S.

"12/18 sell and 12/20 purchase. Bryan helped me sell my home and buy a home. He is highly knowledgeable when it comes to selling and purchasing a home. I would highly recommend him. He made my selling and purchasing experience so easy. Thank you Bryan." - Wanda P.

★★★★★
"I could not recommend Bryan enough here. When it comes to professionalism, knowledge, and assistance, Bryan delivered A+ service throughout the entire process. Rarely do you find an agent who cares more about you being happy, comfortable, and informed, rather than transacting a deal. At no point did we ever feel rushed into making a decision, and throughout our 2.5-month search, Bryan constantly reassured us to be patient, and the right thing will come along. As first time home buyers, we were so lost. Bryan guided us throughout the process and continuously went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable but also understood everything we needed to know. Bryan made himself always available, we would call him any time, day or night, with questions, new listings, updates, etc., and he was always there, happy to help. If you are looking for an honest, transparent, helpful, and knowledgeable agent, Bryan is the agent for you." - Tyler

★★★★★
"Bryan is a good listener, and he works diligently to get you the home you need and even helps you after the sale to take care of any loose ends identified on the home inspection. Simply put, he understands what needs to happen and makes it happen. I am grateful for his help." - Deana A.

★★★★★

★★★★★
"Bryan Swafford at Compass has done another great job for us in purchasing a new home and selling our old one. What I like about Bryan is that he's very responsive and keeps his word, if he says he's going to do it, it gets done. And I love that Bryan communicates our concerns timely and professionally to the other agents and goes above and beyond to make sure our interests are covered. Unlike other agents, Bryan puts in the effort upfront to pre-marketing our home, and it shows in how quickly he was able to get it sold for top dollar. The extra bonus we loved about working with Bryan is his sage advice on getting our home ready to sell. There were things that he saw immediately that didn't cost much to do but made a huge difference in the final product we were able to offer. Bryan has very good taste and skills in the make-ready phase that other agents either can't or don't offer, and it resulted in getting our home sold in days. We highly recommend Bryan! You'll be very happy with the results!" - Denise G.

"Bryan Swafford has been a tremendous resource for us during our home buying process (from showing to post-close). He is truly an advocate for his client, and we felt that he always had our best interests front row and center. He is one hell of a cyclist as well. If you are looking for a straightforward approach to the home buying process and an expert negotiator looks no further than Bryan Swafford with Compass." - Alex S.

★★★★★
"This was our second association with Bryan in a matter of a few months, and we successfully secured our second home in the Austin area! We have loved working with Bryan. He is everything we were looking for in a Realtor since we are remote. But we never felt we were away due the trust we had on Bryan. He understood our requirements and personalized his service offered to us. He is very prompt and knows his stuff in and out. We couldn’t have done it without his expert help and guidance. He helped us tread water. Extremely pleased with his work! " - Rajesh P.

"Bryan Swafford was our real estate agent for our recent home purchase in central Austin, and we've been extremely happy with Bryan's performance, service, and overall knowledge of the market. My wife and I did not follow a normal course on this transaction (independent lender challenges), and Bryan took it in stride and helped guide us throughout the ordeal. He was available practically on a whim to show us a property, he gave honest opinions and flagged concerns and highlights of potential properties, and we felt at all points that he prioritized helping us with our personal needs for a home regardless of timeline or price. He also clearly knows his way around renovations and the market at large. Ultimately we succeeded in landing the perfect little nook for my wife and I to expand our family, and we sincerely appreciate Bryan's role in our successful purchase of our home. 10/10, 5 stars, A+, whatever your scale is, we'd give Bryan the top score. Thank you!" - Brandin + Kseniija

"Bryan Swafford was our agent and he took care of us. He worked with us on touring houses by working with my wife and my busy schedules. When we saw a house we wanted to go look at, he was very easy to get ahold of and very good at returning calls and emails. He would get us in no matter if it was during the day or night, whatever helped us. Bryan was also very patient with us, never trying to pressure or rush us, and when we did find the house, Bryan was all over it working to get us what we wanted at the price we wanted. My wife and I are very happy with the service we had with Bryan and will continue to do business with him in the future." - William R.

★★★★★
"As far as a critique of Bryan, the best I can do is to tell you that when I need a realtor Bryan will be the choice. He is very conscientious when it comes to his clients and his career. If all realtors were as honest and hardworking as Bryan the industry would benefit even more.
Thank you for this opportunity to give an opinion. I hope it is appreciated." - O.R. C.

"We were moving from Illinois and needed to sell our home before we could get serious about looking in Texas. Our daughter went to a few Open Houses for us to get an idea of what the houses we saw online actually look like in person. She met Bryan at one of those Open Houses, got his card and told him a little bit about us. It was a couple of months before we contacted him and to my surprise, he still remembered meeting our daughter and hearing about us. We had just one weekend to come to town and find a home. On a previous visit, we talked to some builders so we wanted to revisit those options and see resale homes as well. Bryan created a search for us that brought back results I didn't find on my own, so we had good options to choose from for our showings. We weren't sure if we really needed a realtor for our new home discussions, but I am so glad we had our own representation. We could talk directly to him about what we wanted, our budget and any other concerns and he negotiated with the builder's sales staff taking that burden off of us. Buying a house is stressful enough so having someone in your court who understands how the building process works is very beneficial. Bryan was always just a phone call, email or text away and responded in a very timely manner to anything we needed. He is very knowledgeable in real estate and the trends occurring in Austin today. We highly recommend working with Bryan for any home buying or selling needs." - Jim + Chris

"I had the pleasure of working with Bryan last September. Brian is very knowledgeable about the transaction process. He is responsive to both phone calls and texts. Bryan went above and beyond to get the answers to my questions when I purchased my Austin Condo. Brian is a dependable real estate professional and does an outstanding job for his clients!" - Rich G.

"I couldn't be more grateful for all the help and guidance provided by Bryan Swafford during our house buying experience in Austin. We are from California and did not know the Austin area, but we wanted to buy a retirement home there. Luckily we got in touch with Bryan. It was such a pleasant experience working with Bryan end to end. He is incredibly knowledgeable on the Austin market and understands the needs of tech people like us very well. He guided us about location, neighborhoods, commute, etc., which made it easy for us to zero in on specific areas. He understood our requirements well and provided us insights into listings meeting our needs. He advised us to be patient and wait for the right property to come our way. We were ready and jumped on the house the moment we liked it. The closing process was quick and smooth under his supervision. He took time out to take us around when we visited Austin to check the house we wanted to buy. He went above and beyond to get is in touch with a trusted property manager also. We can't thank Bryan enough for the 5-star service he provided us. Fantastic experience we had working with him. We would love to work with him again for our future investments." - Rajesh P.

"I have purchased many properties over the years, and no other agent has shown the professionalism or knowledge of Bryan, especially when it comes to writing the offer and negotiating the contract." - Richard M.

"I had the best home buying experience, especially working with, Bryan Swafford. Bryan was always available to see houses with me, even when I called him last minute to see two homes on a federal holiday! Bryan was always honest with me whether it be feedback on a home we toured or responding to my questions or concerns. When I finally found my new home, Bryan was with me through the entire process. He made sure that I understood everything that was happening which I truly valued. Thanks to his team approach, I always felt very informed and well prepared which made closing pretty easy. I never worked with an agent like Bryan before; he legitimately worked on my behalf with my best interests in mind. Bryan completely surpassed all my expectations." - Cindy C.
