"It was a great experience working with Gayla! We appreciate her professionalism and dedication in helping us with the process. Her attention to detail helped us during our walk-throughs. She gives quick responses to all our questions and provides excellent customer care even after the home purchase. Would recommend her to friends & family looking to buy a home in and around Austin area."

"Gayla was the best Realtor I have ever experienced. She was very professional. She showed me all the ropes of buying my first house. She guided me throughout the walk on to what to look for. I would recommend her to anyone that needs to have a Realtor."

"I cannot believe how fortunate we were to have Gayla Goertz on our team! She basically had to sell our house three times before we were able to close due to difficult market conditions and countless obstacles. Through it all she was with us. When the freeze was forecasted to hit Austin, Gayla called me (not the other way around) to ask if I’d like her to winterize the house and pool equipment. She then made sure that the job was done. Gayla is a great researcher, marketer, negotiator, cheerleader, and all around a super person. She is proactive, good for her word, and tactful even in the most trying of times. She is altogether an awesome realtor!"

"We could not ask for a better person to sell our house, Gayla is always available for any questions you may have, and she always answers her phone in four rings or less, including Sundays. We always heard good things about her and decided to use her, and it was the best thing we did. She is a sweetheart full of energy, totally honest, and very easy to deal with. I would highly recommend her for your real estate person, you won't regret it."

"Gayla went above and beyond expectations during our home buying process. She accommodated our schedule on short notice when we only had one half of one day to look. Then she showed us additional properties by FaceTime while we were out of the area. She helped us craft an offer and amendment that eventually won us the first property we made an offer on(and our favorite one) in a highly competitive market. Thank you Gayla for all your hard work and great advice."

"Gayla is my number 1 go-to always. She has looked out for my best interest in every aspect of buying and selling a home. Gayla makes it easy and less stressful than it needs to be. She will always be my go-to for myself and referrals. I'm very grateful to have her. "

"Thanks to Gayla Goertz, we have closed on our perfect house. Gayla aptly navigated us through selling our home and finding our new dream home during this crazy market. Thank you, Gayla!"

"Gayla has helped my wife and me purchase and sell a few homes in the Austin area over the past several years. Simply put, Gayla is fantastic, and we will use no one else. It’s difficult to find a realtor that has the ability to help discern between what you want and what you need. She can sugar coat things with the best of them, but don’t be surprised if you get straight and direct. Just about all realtors can successfully navigate between traditional buyer and seller agent roles. However, there are very few that have the soft skills to deal with the various personalities. And like properties, personalities in Austin are not in short supply! Real estate is a relationship business, and if you want someone on your side that understands and has the skills to work this to your advantage, look no further. Did I mention she’s tough as nails, don’t let the hair, jewelry, and charm fool you!"
- Nick P.

"Working with Gayla to sell my home was one of the best realtor-related experiences I’ve had. I’ve bought and sold two homes in the past 7 years, and she is by far the one I would use again and recommend to anyone looking for a realtor in the area. She was always very communicative and responsive throughout the process. I know several people who have used her in the past, all of which would recommend her as well. Gayla truly is a top-notch realtor. Not only that, but the team she works with made the entire process from list to close extremely smooth and effortless."
- Simon W.
★★★★★
"Gayla Goertz was very courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable about real estate. She was willing to show me many properties until I found the right one. She was very helpful in closing the transaction and working with the title company. She's a very delightful individual. I would recommend her to help you find your dream home."
- Gerard W.

"We are very happy that Gayla is our Realtor in the Austin area. She is knowledgeable, efficient, and goes above and beyond for her customers. She communicated with us thoroughly through every phase of buying a home. We highly recommend Gayla Goertz and will continue with Gayla for any real estate needs in the future. Thank you."
- Jackie K.
★★★★★
"Gayla was proactive in sending me emails to follow up on a previous discussion regarding selling our home. As it turns out, her follow up was very timely and was very much needed as a previous contract to sell our home was not going good. We agree to meet, and when she arrived, she as well prepared to start the process of selling our home. We canceled our contract with a previous buyer and agree to let her represent us as our agent (this is a big plus). The listing price she presented was right. I liked the business approach she brought to the discussion. Gayla communicated the status of the house selling progress well and all the offers we received. When we received an appropriate offer, she handled the negotiations superbly, including the findings from the home inspection, which could have been a deal-breaker. I would recommend Gayla as an agent that could get the job done, as she did for us."
- Craig G.
★★★★★
"Gayla assisted us with the selling of our home and then she helped us to buy our dream home! She offered great advice as to what improvements we could do on our home so that we could sell it for top dollar. After we made her suggested improvements, it indeed did sell for TOP DOLLAR! We were blown away by how fast it sold AND for the price we wanted to sell our home for. She was extremely knowledgeable and always answered all of our questions! I highly recommend Gayla and her amazing team to anyone who needs amazing realtor whom you can trust to get the job done! Thank you Gayla for all your help! We are extremely happy to be living in the home of our dreams!"

"Gayla is a terrific representative for Compass and presents herself and the company in the best possible light. Gayla left no stone unturned and went out of her way to ensure we saw all the properties of interest in Dripping Springs, Kyle, San Marcos, and New Braunfels, all the way to Canyon Lake. We couldn't be more pleased with an agent and have already recommended her to several colleagues who were or are going to relocate from Houston to the Austin area. Compass should be very proud of her."

"Gayla found our DREAM HOME! When other Realtors wouldn't return our calls, Gayla worked hard to not only sell our existing house quickly, but also to find us the home of our dreams at a price we could afford. Her expertise helped guide us through a smooth transaction and today we are truly living our dreams (on the water ;)!"

- Ms. Wanda H.
★★★★★
"Working with Gayla was an absolute dream! Neither my husband nor I had any experience in selling a house, and she coached us through the process each step of the way. Despite our home being a lengthy drive from Gayla (over an hour), she made every effort to visit our house on as many occasions as it took to get it sold; turns out, it didn't need too many with how quickly it sold, thanks to her expertise! From start to finish, Gayla was a lifesaver! She was extremely knowledgeable about which repairs/improvements would get us the best return and had several contractor recommendations which helped us to significantly narrow down our search, as well as reduce our stress levels. Gayla also helped us stage our house in such a way that I was tempted to want to stay in it! Throughout the process, Gayla was in constant contact with us, whether it was via phone, text, email, etc., encouraging us every step of the way. Above all, the best part about working with Gayla was her outgoing and caring personality that made us feel like we were family the instant we met her! Gayla has earned our top recommendations!"
- Rachel W.
★★★★★
"Gayla Goertz did an exemplary job for us in selling our property (it was not an easy sell). She kept us advised on a regular basis as to what was going on with the listing. She negotiated a very favorable deal that we closed on. That was not an easy sell, but Gayla represented Compass in a very professional manner. We will use Gayla to list our properties, without a doubt. She is a professional in every way, and we will recommend her and Compass at every opportunity. Gayla is a winner."
- Everett B.
★★★★★
"Gayla was the perfect Realtor for us. She took an honest interest not only in helping us sell our house but also in helping us rehome our two dogs. Gayla is a go-getter and is always available to meet our schedules. She was very knowledgeable and experienced but was also caring and compassionate. She knows her stuff! We were so blessed to have her, will not hesitate to use her again, and will confidently recommend her to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home."
- Angela M.
★★★★★
"I enjoyed working with Gayla to sell my son's house. She was very professional and knowledgeable. She gave us good advice about improvements that would help the house sell. She had a lot of good recommendations for workmen to make the improvements. Since Jay had moved back to San Antonio, she was on site to supervise the work, and take care of things for us. She staged the house nicely, and the house sold for a good price, and quickly. I would be glad to recommend her, and I am grateful to my San Antonio realtor, Joyce Klein, for referring us to Gayla."

We have recommended her to family and friends. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a huge heart. You are in good hands if you choose her for your real estate transactions."
- Jason G.
★★★★★
"I could not have asked for a more professional but still personal realtor to handle the selling of my house. She was there to keep me posted on everything that was happening and always had my concerns on her mind. I would gladly recommend her to anyone. She made the transition from homeowner to apartment dweller very easy and not too stressful. My highest kudos to Gayla."
- Janet G.
★★★★★
"My wife Janis and I have known Gayla for the better part of 13 years now, and we both consider ourselves "clients-for-life." There is no higher compliment we can bestow. When it comes to buying or selling property in Western Oaks, there is no other realtor who has the market knowledge, personal relationships and commitment to the community that we are aware of. Even though Janis and I had already decided to list with Gayla, we felt compelled to interview a number of South Austin realtors as part of our diligence process. I can tell you with complete confidence that no one came close to the benchmark she set for responsiveness, market knowledge, client commitment and just down-right integrity. She is an incredible asset to the Compassorganization and to the Western Oaks community. We consider ourselves truly blessed to know her."
- John S.
★★★★★
"I highly recommend Gayla Goertz for professional and reliable service for your real estate needs. She and her team were always on top of things and did a great job keeping me informed! Her knowledge, skill and personal touch make for a pleasant and favorable experience. I have a life long Realtor and now friend."
- Dinah S.
★★★★★
"Gayla is my go to person. We have sold two properties with her and bought one. In a recent sale of our condo she was a Godsend. Originally we were not using a realtor just A buyer's agent. The day it was supposed to close it fell through. Called Gayla and told her I needed her to sell this quick hopefully cash offer and she did exactly that. Cash with a 10 day closing. Not only a great Realtor but she's also became a friend. I would highly recommend her."
- Gary Q.
★★★★★
"My wife and I would like to express our gratitude for Gayla and her team. They were extremely helpful in making the selling of our home in Kyle a great experience. Our expectations were exceeded. Every question we had was answered in a timely manner; their thoroughness and diligence was second to none; Gayla was spot-on with her answers and advice. They showed a great amount of patience with first-time home sellers and responded to all of our communications promptly. I was even able to communicate via text messaging and always heard back right away. With all of the customers Gayla must have, I was very surprised at the personalized service. I will recommend her to any and all of my friends and family, should they be looking for a realtor. It is rare to see that level of customer service in any business these days and everyone should strive for the level that Gayla gives. Compass' should be thankful to have such a wonderful asset on their team!"
- Brad M.
★★★★★
"Gayla sold our home (pre-market and above asking price) then worked diligently to find us the perfect home in the area we wanted. We looked at dozens of homes and found ourselves asking to see homes outside of the true area we wanted and ended up really liking them. We were letting our emotions take over and lose focus of our main goal and that was to get a home convenient to Mopac. She helped us realize why we were liking the homes more (out of our area) and got us back on track to the area we really desired. We are so appreciate to Gayla's determination to help us get the home we set out looking for and not just buy the first house we really liked because she knew we would not be happy. She was right. We are loving our home and the area so very much!! We would never consider using another Realtor and appreciate the great resources we know Compass offers as well."
- Malorie W.
★★★★★
"Gayla did an outstanding job for us. She was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Perhaps most importantly, she was incredibly patient with us, even as we changed our minds numerous times (putting in bids and then withdrawing them). It was truly a pleasure to work with her. We were very happy working with Compass with Gayla and we would without a doubt recommend her services to anyone asking us about finding a real estate agent."
- Patricia
★★★★★
"Gayla was amazing. She helped us negotiate another 1,000 in free upgrades to our house and recommended a closed in bathroom that made a huge difference. We would have never thought of that. Gayla was always available to talk about any questions we had. She was very friendly and professional. We used her to buy and sell our last house as well as buy our new home. She was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to clue us into things that solidified our decision on location. We love Gayla and will be using her again if need be, while recommending her to others. Thank you very much."
- Matthew + Heather M.

- Vikki R.
★★★★★
"I really am so thankful that Gayla was our Realtor. I know we were not the easiest clients but she handled our process so professionally and was able to make challenges seem very manageable. She gave me great security and I trusted her to handle the things that I didn't understand. And she has a lot of patience! We were able to get a great price for our house, which was such a blessing. Gayla's experience with our neighborhood was invaluable. I would definitely recommend Gayla to any of my friends and will do so!"

"I am very pleased to tell the world that Gayla Goertz is the BEST Realtor in the State of Texas! She is professional, compassionate, honest, high energy and most of all she is LOYAL. Gayla worked 24/7 to get my total asking price for my home. She is with out a doubt the only Realtor I would ever use and the ONLY Realtor I will ever recommend. She never, ever gave up and sold my home within 2 weeks! Totally amazing! Simply the best!"
- Albert S.

"I have known Gayla since our boys were in little league baseball together in Oak Hill. I sought her out to help me sell my family home of 59 years. This home is and was very special to me because it has been the only constant in my life. Both my parents and only sister have passed and all I had left was the home. I expressed this to Gayla and she treated us so tenderly, and yet so professionally. We met, went through my home and she got busy immediately. We set a price and she worked hard to get me the amount I wanted and no less. It is because of Gayla that I was able to get my asking price, she is an amazing woman and an amazing Realtor. Compass is very lucky to have someone that cares about their clients and their feelings. My husband and I asked her so many really dumb questions and she answered them in a way that we could understand. I plan on telling everyone I know about Gayla and I will recommend her to anyone. She is a kind, generous, gracious and extremely professional woman. Thank you for allowing her to be my Realtor, she is a true shining star!"

"Gayla has helped us find our dream home! She was very accessible, flexible and patient with us. She spent countless hours on the weekends setting up houses to look at (I believe we broke her record one day viewings, lol), in order for us to find the perfect home. She has also helped my sister's family numerous times and I know they will continue to in any future moves. Being a true Austinite, Gayla is very connected/knowledgeable to Austin and it's surrounding areas, so I'm sure she can find the right home for you. We wouldn't hesitate to go to her again."
