"Karla represented my husband and I during the mid-stage of the pandemic – when the shortage in homes called for bidding wars and offers over asking-price were necessary. It was an intense and stressful time to buy a house, but we were extremely blessed to have Karla on our side! Karla, and her husband, Alex Trusler, worked diligently and helped us find our home sooner than other buyers were experiencing. Karla was an excellent negotiator; her techniques helped get TWO of our offers selected, without giving the highest bid! Karla’s work is very impressive as she is methodical, attentive and three steps ahead of the competition. On a personal level, Karla is passionate, honest, reliable and caring. Karla and Alex were a true pleasure to work with! Thank you so much for helping our military family and turning an overwhelming situation into a great and memorable experience!" - Vanessa W.

"Karla and Alex were the best realtors we could have asked for, period. Being our first time buying a new home, there were a lot of things we didn't fully understand about the process and Karla was there for us every step of the way. Not only did she make an otherwise overwhelming process, extremely smooth and simple, but also enabled us to enjoy the journey of buying our first home. She was extremely knowledgeable and had great referrals and insights. She's also a top-notch negotiator and brought the price down lower than what we were expecting so we couldn't be happier! " - Neeraj R.

★★★★★
"Karla was the absolute, without a doubt, most ideal realtor we could have hoped for. It took my fiancé and I more than 6 months to find our second home and Karla was there every step of the way. She was never exhausted by our timeline and was always in our corner only wanting what was best for us. Karla is extremely well versed on every aspect of purchasing a home. She had an arsenal of information and gave us referrals for lenders, inspectors, and every type of company we required in order to ensure we were buying the right home and buying it the right way. Her law background was incredibly useful as she went through every contract with a fine tooth comb which got us answers to questions we didn't even know we had. Karla will be our realtor for life. There is no one better or no one more kind, knowledgeable, or loyal. Thank you for everything Karla." - Chad M.

"Alex was a godsend. Everybody thinks they can be a realtor - my aunt, my coworker, my friend from school - not everybody has the skills, knowledge and experience to understand their customer’s needs, current market, and how to best serve and represent their customer. Alex’s background clearly enabled him to provide us with the highest level of service a first time homebuyer could dream of. This guy knows quality and style and listens yet interjects the facts appropriately. Alex is not only trustworthy, he is even-keeled in the storm of chaos created by the home buying experience. The first meeting, and many subsequent, Alex patiently went through the process, contract, and our plethora of admittedly sometimes crazy questions and concerns. Despite which, maintaining a professional and pleasant countenance. We started our search for the best realtor in Dallas not knowing a single one, and we are so blessed our extensive research of all the realtors on the best of Dallas list led to Alex. We will never let anyone else represent us." - Amanda C.

★★★★★
"Karla helped my husband and I find our first dream home 5 years ago, and since then has worked with my brother, parents, and friends, all of whom had excellent experiences with Karla. She is super knowledgeable in the Park Cities area, understands the historical significance of the homes, the people and the schools. She’s really a wonderful agent. She comes with a wealth of legal experience as well as a network of helpful homeowner’s contacts and tools. Truly an all-around exceptional agent." - Jamie G.

★★★★★
"Alex is a smart, knowledgeable and extremely personable realtor. He was always quick to reply with any questions or concerns and timely in all his appointments. I also appreciated his honesty throughout the process and would highly recommend him to others" - K Williams

★★★★★
"Alex helped us buy our forever home and sell our starter home. We were so well marketed that we sold above our asking price. We had non-stop showings that started the same day our listing went live. His team uses professional photographers and they even help with staging and lighting. On the buying side we had a tough seller and were buying a fixer upper. So Alex's expert negotiation skills and network of service providers saved the day. He really made it easy to find all the professionals we needed to fix up the house and helped us work through what were deal breakers and what could be fixed. We're so happy in our new house. Another thing to mention, we were not buying/selling million dollar homes like many of the Briggs Sotheby clients but we were treated as such. I never had any issues with communication. In fact we talked and saw each other so much during the process it was sad when it was all over. We realized we wouldn't be seeing an advisor, who had become our friend, anymore and it was a little sad for us." - Lolly C.

★★★★★
"Alex helped my husband and I purchase a home in Dallas after relocating from out of state. We were new to the area and he was patient with showing us various areas and provided local perspective on how the neighborhoods may fit our needs to aid our decision. We encountered some issues with the home we purchased in the inspection process and he was quick to recommend contractors that his clients had previous experience with so that we could quickly obtain multiple bids and decide whether to move forward with the property. His knowledge of both the area and the buying and selling process was an asset to us and we would use him again upon selling our home." - AF Markham

Their knowledge, care and dedication are first class, and their client’s concerns are top priority. There is no other real estate professional that I would use or refer other than The Trusler Group.

★★★★★
"After renting in University Park for 3 years, Alex helped me and my family find a home to buy. He is a class act, very discrete and a great negotiator. In a previous life I spent 7 years as a real estate agent at a top New York City firm, so my standards are very high when it comes to real estate agent services. Alex is a total pro!" -T. Hargraves

★★★★★
"Karla and her team are wonderful! Not only did she find us a wonderful house, but a great investment. Having grown up in Dallas, she knows the city incredibly well, and has a fantastic team of inspectors and mortgage brokers at the ready. She found us a great family street (block even!) and sent notes to our neighbors to introduce us. She is smart, fast and responsive. Best of all, she listens. And did I mention that she's really nice, too?" -C. Grable

★★★★★
"Karla helped us sell our weekend home. The home was custom built as a 2nd home so even though our target market was narrowed by this fact, she got it under contract and closed the transaction in much less time than anticipated (fewer days on the market than the market average). This was my dream home but we needed to sell based on our age and as such, selling it was difficult. However, she was able to find the perfect buyer who loves it as much as we do which meant a lot to my husband and I. She made the whole transaction seamless and smooth. I highly recommend her for any residential real estate needs." -J. Adam

★★★★★
"Karla helped us both on the buying and selling sides at various times. She's a top-notch professional. Her legal background serves her well in negotiations and procedure, and her experience in serving clients in the legal field elevates her level of professionalism and general business savvy. Beyond her unique background, she is just a consummate people person and a tireless worker... highly productive and efficient, driven to serve her clients and produce results. And, she is truly an expert on the area, having lived in Dallas her whole life. We will always recommend Karla first when someone we know is looking for an agent in Dallas." -S. Sieker

★★★★★
"We have used Karla for our last four transactions, and I don’t think we would trust anyone else. She is intuitive, listens very well, anticipates questions and concerns way in advance, and is tough when she needs to be. She is the best." -S. Keith

★★★★★
"Karla & Alex found a house for me that wasn’t on the market. They gave me advise on the right offer and did all the follow up; making the whole process easy. Then followed up for six months. " -P. Deison

★★★★★
"My wife and I used Karla when we moved to Dallas from out of state several years ago. She did a wonderful job finding us the perfect property that was not yet listed on the market. Her local knowledge and contacts helped us secure our dream home. Karla is extremely responsive, thoughtful, caring yet tough, intelligent, and passionate about her job. It is clear that her priority is to help her clients find what is best for them, not what is best for her! We have used her throughout the years for market comps and on multiple occasions, inquiries on other properties. While we are still content with residing in our first home in Dallas, Karla is always willing and happy to help us as we investigate other opportunities. Having worked with several other agents over the years in other markets, as well as meeting many of them in our area, we are convinced that Karla represents the very best in the industry, and we could not recommend her highly enough." -J. Januszewski

★★★★★
"I moved here from a small West Texas town and Karla’s patience and knowledge made the complicated process much easier and actually fun! I chose a house outside of her usual area but she gave such good advice that I felt comfortable with my choice. She was very thorough and professional every step of the way." -Mellie Z.

★★★★★
"There is no one better than Karla! She is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. She is helpful and offers years of experience.

I have been a client of Karla since 1999 and have flipped many houses with her assistance. I strongly recommend Karla for your real estate needs." -R. Cash
