"He is an incredible person. 10 stars wouldn't be enough. I feel like I wouldn't have crossed the finish line without him and Blakey. He will be recommended till he's no longer in the business. " - Brett C.

"This is my second time to work with Karl on a home deal and he is nothing but the most professional of professionals. He is calm and relaxed and knows all the right questions to ask to make you feel great about the house you are buying. While he was away for a couple of days Angie helped us as well and again, incredibly knowledgeable and professional. A great team to work with and I will use them again if we decide to move." - Miles M.

"I wanted to reach out about the amazing experience that we had with Angie Balentine! Angie has advocated for us each step of the way throughout the home buying process. She has offered invaluable advice for both the buying of our new home and selling of our condo. Angie and Michaela kept us informed, listened to our needs, and helped the whole process run smoothly from start to finish. We felt supported to make the best decisions for us and are grateful for her expertise. I cannot recommend her enough!" - Charlotte W.

"This is the second time I've worked with Karl Haussmann and I have nothing but great things to say about him. He's not only an expert in real estate, he was empathetic to my needs and patient with explaining the details of what to expect. I trust Karl with all my real estate needs. Thanks for being the best, Karl! Can't wait to work with you again." - Sabrina J.

"Angie Balentine is a top level agent! She has been wonderful to work with. We are seasoned homeowners and from our first phone call, we knew she was the right fit for us. Angie is very knowledgeable about the ever changing Austin market. Her expertise was appreciated when negotiating a contract on our new home in a highly coveted neighborhood. Angie gave us multiple ideas for how we can buy and sell around the same time. She has been very respectful of our decisions and is very respectful of the buyers and sellers we are working with. Given the current market, we were worried about selling our home, but Angie helped us get the home under contract in less than 2 weeks! I highly recommend working with Angie for all your real estate needs!" - Stephanie P.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We absolutely adore Angie. She was incredible to work with and made the process as easy as realistically possible. We are from out of state with very little knowledge of the Austin area. We will 100% be working with her again should we have real estate needs in the area. " - Daniel

"These months of Dec-Jan have been very busy with family and Christmas, as you can imagine. What can I say, Angie was always way ahead of us with responses and solutions. Angie is a very effective agent, she can understand very readily exactly what customers are searching for, and she finds it. Apart from being a very kind lady, respectful and very likable, she is always 100% ready, never delays, and is always on time. I would call on Angie should I need to buy another house, and fast. Thanks to Angie, we were able to acquire the exact house that we wanted. Thanks to Compass." - Astrid C.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Angie did a fabulous job of selling my house. We had a signed contract within the first day of listing it! She is working on finding me another property. I would highly recommend her and the office staff. Very professional and caring." - Toni B.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Karl is a consummate professional. He and Blakely were a fantastic team and got us through the sale of our house seamlessly. I highly recommend them! Thanks, Karl and Blakely!" - Peggy P.

"We met Tanya in 2015, and shortly after beginning our house search, our life plans changed, so we did not move to Texas that year. After 7 patient years of waiting and keeping in touch with relevant real estate information and updates, birthday and holiday cards, and frank availability to help, Tanya helped settle one big part of our lives, buying a house that fits our current needs. We know that this is not our forever home, and I am grateful that since 2015 Tanya has coached, listened, and helped us to achieve buying a house without leaving us alone in our decision but giving us space and support to decide what made sense to our personal, professional and financial plans. She genuinely cares about her clients' personal plans, not just the bottom line. Something for which she also stands out for is her strategic and on-point communication when negotiating. Tanya keeps her calm and is always pleasantly available. Even when urgency and speed is a real estate constant, she transmits that energy to settle and think things through to make the best decision because she has knowledge and experience that quiet anxieties and uncertainties. She is also honest about the unavoidable unknowns. Lastly, I would like to point out that I know she will sell my house and help me buy a new one. " - Patricia N.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We can never say enough good things about Karl, which is why we went with him again this time for both selling our (now previous) home and purchasing our new house. His advice is always very sound and based on solid experience. He goes above and beyond, and he is incredibly patient in the way he explains things. We trust him, and we refer him to our friends as a result. He navigated our contingent offer on a new home despite the rapidly changing market conditions, all while keeping us informed and confident in our decisions. It was a very positive experience under challenging circumstances. " - Paul

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Tanya was the most helpful realtor I've ever met!!!" - Armando B.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Karl Haussmann has been absolutely fantastic as a buyer's agent. He provides the steady hand needed for new buyers as well as semi-experienced buyers and his team provides all the help needed to navigate tricky waters of buying real estate, whether it be for primary residence or as an investment. His team helps with inspection, handyman services, insurance agents, foundation companies etc and is the true definition of a full-service team. His team really shines prior to closing when there it is a high-pressure situation to align between lenders, buyers and sellers and makes the whole process seamless. His team also provides post-sale services to investors like helping to lease units etc. I trust Karl to tell me when not to proceed with a questionable property or tricky situation. He also never puts any pressure to buy when buyer is slightly uncomfortable with proceeding. I am sure he is probably equally good at selling, but I have not had a need to use him for that yet." - S. H.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Karl helped us buy our first home in Austin in 2010, and then helped us sell it in 2022. Both times, and from both sides of the negotiating table, we felt with absolute certainty that Karl's only interest was our best interest. He was extremely low-pressure when we were buying and in fact, several times pointed out areas of concern with particular properties that we hadn’t noticed or considered. And as our seller’s agent, he gave us consistently insightful advice on how best to go about bringing our home to market in a way that fit in balance with the rest of our lives. He was just always present with our needs, even when we had a hard time articulating those needs ourselves. He communicates extremely clearly and plainly with a humble authority and seems to take his role seriously as a resource and educator. So he always felt like a calm grounding force in an otherwise overwhelming and emotionally turbulent process. Besides his presence, Karl also a vast knowledge of the Austin market and the Austin culture map, which facilitated our search immensely and also helped us present our home appropriately to match up well with prospective buyers who were not just serious but who were actually delighted by our home. I can’t say enough for Karl’s commitment to our goals and interests, and I can’t overstate the kindness and comradely he showed us through the process. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone in my own family." - Danny S.

"Tanya Alvarez and Jessica Price were the perfect team for us, first-time home buyers. My partner and I were super happy with them, and we would not have been able to find our dream home without their help. We didn't really know what we wanted, but Tanya helped us narrow our search and was super honest. I didn't feel like she was in this for money but she was in it to genuinely help people find their dream home. They are still helping us even after we closed on the house. We couldn't have asked for a better team! We really appreciate them and will be working with them again if we ever decide to sell and move." - Christiane K.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Angie was awesome! My wife and I are so thankful for her. She was way above and beyond our expectations. " - Jonathan

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We have been in partnership for many years, both leasing and selling properties in all phases of Austin's changing landscape. What has remained the same is Karl's dedication to our relationship and the highest ethics in dealing in a fast-moving and high-stakes environment. This is not usual, in my experience, and one of the main reasons Karl and I have forged a working relationship that I am proud of and love to share with others. Very recently, in an important and somewhat complex sale, we ran into some challenges that had me worried and almost ready to step back. Karl, calmly negotiated the field of needs in a way, that left me thinking - why didn't I think that way? He also showed up a few times as steady support when I hadn't expected him to be coming by. There he was with great ideas and soothing attitudes for all. So everyone needs to find their way to Karl (and yet, I do not want Karl to overwork- I want him around for a long time!" - Rick A.

"Angie Balentine is a pro. Tenacious, diligent, thorough, full of goodness. Five stars!" - Kerry

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We had an awesome experience with Karl Haussmann in not only looking for a property to buy but following throughout the entire process until closing. His knowledge and experience helped make the entire experience seamless. The responsiveness to every question or request was exemplary. We won't hesitate to call on Karl (and Blakely) again in the future with any real estate assistance. True professionals!" - Katherine + Wayde T.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Karl is the best. I’ve used him for a buy/sell in 2017, purchase in 2019, and now again for both buying and selling. I like how he always makes me feel like I have his full attention. He’s very responsive and his assistant Blakeley is also wonderful. " - Shannon L.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We had a wonderful experience with Tanya! She was very communicative from the start and really took an interest in our vision and priorities for our home. She also has a great process that helped us narrow down exactly what we were looking for in terms of size, location, features, and layout. Once we had figured that out, it took us less than a month to find our house! Tanya and Jessica always responded quickly to schedule showings for us. Once we got to the stage of making offers, Tanya and Jessica were so helpful with guidance on how to approach the process, and again, were quick to respond to any questions we had. The process was so easy and not stressful at all thanks to their help. We love our new home and would highly recommend Tanya for anyone looking in the Austin area! " - Meera K.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"There are not enough positive or exemplary words in the lexicon to describe my feelings about Karl. From beginning to end, through multiple years and much back and forth, during times of business success when I wasn’t sure a sale was the wisest choice, to the disastrous Covid interval, when business was truly dismal and a sale seemed impossible, and back again to the other side when business began to flourish again, Karl never missed a beat. Through a very, very emotional negotiation and sale of an Austin small business that I built every single bit on my own, and in which I invested tears and years of hard work, physical labor, pride, emotional highs and lows, and which was sometimes challenging to imagine turning loose, Karl never wavered from my consistent evaluation of him - when I praise him to others, I always describe him as a ā€˜skinny Buddha.’ His knowledge of the real estate market in Austin is without compare and his ability to navigate the complexities of a commercial real estate sale that was both personal AND professional, and handle it all with quiet grace and always a kind word and a listening ear to match his intellectual acumen has no equal. There’s no one better." - Julie J.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"This is the second home that Karl has helped me purchase and his service always exceeds my expectations. He is always quick to respond to any questions that I have about the buying process. He really makes everything seamless and I always enjoy working with him! He is the best! I also want to take a moment to say that Blakely is the ultimate professional. She would respond to my questions in a timely manner and was great at coordinating everyone's schedule for all appointments. She is so awesome! They are a great team and I would not hesitate to work with them again in the future. " - Jamie W.

"Tanya has been our realtor since 2015, when she helped us buy our first home. At that time, we had a toddler and did not have a lot of money. We didn't think we could afford to buy a house, but she educated us and set us on a path to building wealth for our family. Tanya has a way of helping clients gain clarity on their wants, needs, and desires. She has supported us through the purchase of two homes and two investment properties. Buying and selling houses is emotional and stressful. Each time she has helped keep us grounded and on the path to success in finding the right fit for us. Through negotiations, she helps us keep an eye on the big picture and get to closing. We love her and will continue to lean on her for our continued growth in real estate." - Alexandra M.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Angie was absolutely amazing! She was extremely attentive to all of our questions and concerns and we felt like she had our back through the entire home purchasing journey. I'd highly recommend her for anyone who is a first-time home buyer." - Logan J.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Tanya was really fantastic to work with. Her experience in the industry shines through as she has answers to all my questions or could direct me to where to look for answers. She also has a really helpful and calming demeanor, which I can see is one of the reasons she is so successful. Tanya was by my side every step of the way, and yes, I would definitely refer her to family & friends." - Leah A.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Karl is on top of everything! Great team!" - Bruce

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Angie has been a pleasure to work with. She's incredibly knowledgeable about the home buying process in general as well as the aspects (pace, competitive nature, trends) in Austin specifically. I'm sure she must have been busy with other clients and projects, but I always received prompt responses, and I really felt like she took the time to understand me and my needs personally -- she made it feel like I was her *only* client. I was always able to text or call her with random or last-minute questions through every stage of the home buying process, and she always had a helpful response for me. I especially appreciate that she really let me dictate the pace of my search, and I never felt rushed or pressured to put in offers that didn't feel right. She also takes COVID-19 precautions seriously, and we wore masks to appointments before we were both vaccinated and afterward when a seller or the title company requested it." - Jennifer T.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"I have worked with Karl for over ten years now, and all my experiences with him have been absolutely exceptional. He is knowledgeable, available, and always goes above and beyond." - Lara H.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Tanya Alvarez is the best realtor! She was persistent, professional, and knowledgeable. We had a great experience working with her. Thank you, Tanya." - Shilpa R.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Tanya started helping us back at Hindsite 20/20 and got us our original home in 2018. She was amazing on both the buying and selling fronts. Super communicative and very detail-oriented. Every timeline she committed to, she exceeded on and made sure we got a good deal both buying and selling. She helped us get our homestead exemption filed and recommended great contractors to get work done on our home. She was always there for us if we had questions regarding homeownership which was incredibly helpful being first-time home buyers. When we left Austin in June, she helped connect us with a realtor in MN, spending valuable time talking to realtors to get a good feel for someone that would do a good job for us up North. I can't recommend her enough, and I've sent a friend to her that was looking for a house in the Austin area, and she ended up helping all 3 find the perfect place. " - Thomas R.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"You are fortunate to have Tanya Alvarez working for you. She is everything one could want in a realtor and friend. She has an amazing wealth of experience to draw from to solve unanticipated situations. She reduced the stress of our 80-year-old worries. She came to our apartment several times and drove us to close at the title company. We highly recommend Tanya and would use her as a realtor again." - Sharon + Claud B.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"There are no words to describe our experience with Angie Balentine. We first started our house hunting experience in Austin, TX, but with the crazy housing market, we were unfortunately not finding the right home. We started looking for houses while still living in New York and trusting my brother and his wife to look at houses for us. It was when we were recommended to Angie and to start looking in the San Antonio area. Angie got to work for us right away and would not mind driving from Austin to San Antonio to show my family houses. They showed us many houses, but unfortunately, nothing stood out, and we also received some rejections.
We decided to wait until we officially closed on our NY house and be in Texas to see the houses in person and get a better feeling. When my family and I first saw her in person, it was like seeing a family member you haven't seen in a while but immediately reconnected. What we loved about Angie the most was her patience, and how after every rejection, she would lift our spirits and tell us our future home was out there and not to worry. When she shows us houses, it wasn't just about selling us a house; she treated the experience as if she was looking for her own family's future "home." We would see a house, and she would immediately tell us how she would picture us raising our children in this new home. She was able to find us the perfect home with the things we were looking for as a family, a great school district, big enough for our family, and the cherry on top, a pool for our kids.
Angie has become the newest member of our family. Our kids love her, and now that we have closed on our house. We hope to get settled in and invite her and her family to a housewarming party.
Eternally grateful, Angie, thank you.

"We have worked with Karl. Buying and selling commercial properties sense 2017, and I've had a great experience. We continue to use Karl to purchase, lease, and sell commercial properties, and I would recommend him to anyone. " - Bruce C.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Angie has made our home search and buying process so easy and fun! She calms your nerves and really takes away all the stress as she is there with you every step of the way. She's professional, honest and transparent, responsive and is extremely patient. I 100% reommend Angie and am kind of sad the process is over because we won't be seeing her as often as we used to." - Kelly C.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Tanya has been very helpful throughout the whole process. She answered all of our questions and made sure things went smoothly." - Gilbert M.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We love the home we are making here, and Angie has been no small part of this process. She was always there when we needed her, and she gave us space to contemplate decisions we felt were important. Her advice and market knowledge were critical for us to make the right decision in a timely manner, which is why we believe everything moved so smoothly. We will definitely recommend her to anyone needing help with anything having to do with real estate. In the event we ever need a real estate agent again, she will be the first person we call. I would also like to add that Hanna did a great job as well. We feel that the way your agency has agents work together helps everything flow very smoothly." - Guillermo G.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We've known Tanya for many years, and she repeatedly delivers with excellence and beyond our expectations. Tanya always takes care of us before, during, and after the purchase process. I didn't expect less this time, she is wonderful! We also have recommended Tanya to friends and family before. They have told us about their great experience with her as well. We will continue recommending her with confidence because we know our friends/family won't be disappointed. " - Andreina M.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Angie went beyond to make my experience amazing! She spent the time with me to find a place, and when she did, she showed up at the place I was interested in, sent me videos of the place, assured me that it was my style, and she was right! Angie went beyond in all avenues. At the time, I was out of state, not in TX. So, I came into town and had my place ready to go. I will forever use Angie for anything I want to either purchase or rent. I will forever use Angie. Hands down." - Kelly V.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"My husband and I worked with Tanya Alvarez (and Jessica Price, her assistant who was also wonderful), and she is amazing! She is friendly and has extensive knowledge of the Austin area and surrounding areas, which made my husband, and I feel very comfortable, even during this crazy market. She made sure we knew what we were getting into and gave us insight into the home searching and buying process that we needed, as we were first-time buyers. Tanya always made sure to be available whenever we needed her, and we could not appreciate her enough. We will definitely be reaching out again if we are in the market for another home!" - Alina G.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"So, at first blush, you might think this review biased as Tanya is both my sister-in-law and my Realtor. But, after having gone through a house hunt and purchase without her in the last few weeks, I can honestly say she’s one of the absolute best. In fact, as my husband and I furiously searched for a new home, in a new state, with multiple Realtors to guide us, we regularly found ourselves repeating Tanya’s sage advice. The realtors we’ve worked with here are great and are clearly experts in their locales, but none has come close to teaching us half as much about the overall process. Tanya is an equal parts educator and Realtor, and I’m sure that played an important role in us securing the amazing home on which we are now under contract. We both feel like smarter buyers because of all the knowledge she has shared so freely over the course of buying and selling two homes with her in Austin. We are so grateful to have had her guidance all these years, and we miss her dearly!" - Tria T.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"I can not tell you how amazing Tanya Alvarez is with Compass. From beginning to post-sale, Tanya was and still is beyond incredible with us. I knew we were in good hands after the intake process. Tanya sat us down and got to know us for 90 minutes to best understand what we need. This is simply not common nowadays. I can’t tell you how many other Realtors just set up an MLS search for us and focused on quantity rather than quality. That’s not Tanya. She got to know us and our needs, gave us insights into the market, told us what we needed to do to try to win a house in Austin in 2021, was our true advocate all the way, acted with honesty/integrity, and just flat out got stuff done. I will refer Tanya to my family, closest friends, and complete strangers in the future. She sets the true bar for a real estate agent (not a facilitator, but a true consultant/trusted friend). Thank you so much, Tanya!" - Rick + Jackie

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We had and continue to have a great working relationship with Tanya Alvarez. Tanya and her Assistant Jessica are quick to respond to our questions and needs. They are personable, kind, knowledgeable, and strategic professionals. I would greatly recommend getting Tanya on your side when buying or selling here in the Austin area!" - Emily A.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We love working with Tanya. She's very helpful and willing to work with our crazy schedules. Her knowledge, experience, and connections were and are invaluable to us, and there's no one else we would trust more to help us navigate buying or selling a home." - Alexa F.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Tanya is a good partner and friend. That’s why I followed her into Compass. I continue to rely on her to always have my best interest in mind. " - Brad Z.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We had a very big ask for our lovely agent, Angie Balentine. We wanted to buy a house in Austin while we were living in Los Angeles. We had to buy it sight unseen due to the pandemic, AND we were doing this all during the holidays! Without her, we would not have been able to find our dream home. We were looking for a needle in a haystack, and she found it for us! As first-time home buyers, we were grateful for her experience and her patience as she guided us through this journey. I could not recommend her more highly. She is the perfect person to have on your side for the home buying experience." - Rachel R.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We worked with Angie Balentine to find and purchase our home in Austin. I highly recommend her services. She provides the perfect combination of emotional intelligence, business acumen, and market knowledge, all characteristics needed for such an expensive and personal purchase. Angie is a great human to work with, a strong negotiator, and provided sound guidance on placing competitive offers. She helped us navigate the very competitive Austin market to land in the perfect spot for our family. 10 out of 10!" - Alice G.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Karl is the epitome of professionalism, integrity, and customer service. In an industry where many are willing to cut corners just to get that commission check, Karl is only focused on looking out for your best interests and providing the most outstanding customer service I've found anywhere.
From the pre-sales process to the transaction to post-sales, Karl and his team of professionals are always there to answer any questions and provide a level of expertise few would expect. In addition, Karl has referred me to a number of other providers in the real estate industry (mortgage broker, electrician, etc.), and his referrals are always right-on. If Karl doesn't have the answer, he'll find it for you. It's very comforting to know that I will have Karl on my side for all of my future real estate transactions, and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
" - Darron G.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Tanya helped me buy my first home, and from day one, she really did an excellent job of supplying me with the level of support and information I needed to feel comfortable and informed about my purchasing decisions. She helped me end to end and continues to support me in my investment today, keeping me informed of opportunities to improve my home's value. I highly recommend her services and would absolutely hire her again in the future for myself. Thanks, Tanya!" - Angela J.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"I wanted to write to thank Karl for putting on the Property Tax Seminar on Tuesday for us. I was able to prepare for our formal hearing and go in there and get $26,000 off the originally assessed price. Thanks again for the advice, and thanks for continuing to offer these types of services to his clients." - Peter

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"I can't think of a more thorough and insightful real estate agent than Tanya. She is receptive to her clients and does high-quality work of analyzing the local market. She is hardworking and devoted to making sure her clients' desires are met. Tanya far exceeded my expectations of what I thought a real estate agent could do." - Donna S.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
" I've had the opportunity to work with Karl in multiple arenas within the real estate realm, and he has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. His successful implementation of systems, attention to detail, and effective presentation style are only a few of Karl's many traits that make him an ideal business partner. " - Justin B.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
" Even after the purchase, Tanya provides so much for her clients. She hosts client appreciation parties, sends a newsletter with great advice, and provides training on property taxes and home care. And when my home sustained damage in a freak accident, Tanya was my first call. She sprung into action and immediately connected me with contractors and insurance. She truly is the "godparent" of my lovely home. Tanya is by far the best Realtor I could imagine! Anyone looking for a home in Austin or the surrounding areas should do themselves a favor and give her a call. " -Aaron H.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We had a great experience with Karl in buying our first home. Karl is conscientious, competent, and caring. Professional guidance can be so valuable, especially when making such a big decision as buying a house! Karl was there to help and hold our hands every step of the way. He is a consummate professional." - Amit K.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"If you are looking for a home in Austin, I strongly recommend Tanya. Her excellent market knowledge and intuition (along with her commitment to building long-lasting relationships) make her exceptional at what she does. My fiancƩ and I had the pleasure of buying our first home with Tanya this past summer. We had ambitious goals during an extremely competitive time in the Austin market, and Tanya and her team delivered to help us purchase a home that exceeded our expectations. Her commitment to us continues today with regular check-ins and helpful advice for maintenance and remodeling. Tanya is top-notch. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to do well in the Austin market." - Marina I.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
" I hired Tanya to help me buy my first house, and I can say without a doubt she will be my Realtor as long as I'm in Austin! Tanya really helped me realize what was most important to me and walked me through the whole process with great care. Her extensive knowledge of all the areas of Austin was impressive (and I'm a native Austinite), and she worked with my budget (never making me feel less important because I'm not a millionaire) to help me get the best possible home for me! The sale was only the beginning of our relationship- she has helped me get quality, reliable people for everything from drywall spackling to AC repair, and she is never more than a phone call/email away! Tanya regularly hosts fabulous cocktail hours and events for all her clients (not just ones currently looking for a home, but everyone who has ever used her) at some of the hottest spots in Austin, which is always a perk! I am admittedly a very picky and demanding client, and I assure you that if you trust her with the biggest purchase of your life, your home, you will not be disappointed! " - Lindley E.

"A trusted friend, colleague, and professional, Karl is the kind of man others should aspire to be. He is an expert in his field of Real Estate and the only person I recommend to others in the Austin area on a regular basis. But Karl's energy and passion are not limited to just his business, far from it. His work with both the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Kelly Davidson Foundation are testimonies that he not only cares about his community; he does something about it that truly makes a significant difference." - Chris B.

"As a psychotherapist, I like to think I’m a pretty good listener. But Angie is a world-class listener! From our first visit with Angie, it was clear that she listened more than she talked. She carefully went through the Wish List, my daughter and I were looking for in a house and patiently interpreted, helping us get clear on what it was we were actually hoping for. Her patience is unending (I think!), and we finally found the ideal house we’d been looking for! Angie is attentive to detail, insightful, and a lot of fun! She’s the ultimate professional, but she’s also a wonderful human being!" - Molly M.

"After having worked with more than five Realtors, I can confidently recommend Angie Balentine and intend to work with her during the lifetime of our home and property ownership endeavors. Angie has proven to be a strong and reliable communicator that patiently provides real market experience. Her guidance leads us through some potentially contentious negotiations, saving us thousands of dollars. We also regularly call upon her for advice on our home, from city code issues to repair and financing problems, she is always ready to help. Thanks for all you do, Angie!" - Joe M.

" We have named Angie our Super Realtor, able to jump tall problems in a single bound! Thanks for your work! " - Mike + Leifann B.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Angie Balentine is such a warm and caring individual; attributes one does not normally think are essential in a real estate agent but are actually. Angie is an absolute delight to work with and goes above and beyond all expectations to ensure you're having the best experience possible and to show you she truly cares about what's important to you; with her, you're not JUST a client. My husband and I are relatively new to Austin and completely trust Angie's input and absolutely love her insights/suggestions; we have only rented with her thus far but cannot imagine buying property down the line from anyone else and enthusiastically recommend her to all our Austin friends. Angie is truly a one of a kind Realtor!" - Liz + Dan P.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Angie was referred to us by a close friend, and we could tell from the moment we first met that she was the perfect fit for us. Not only was she professional, diligent, and communicative, she was also kind, compassionate, and patient (especially with my many demands). When we finally found our home, Angie handled all the paperwork and negotiations for us, while also providing expert guidance to help with our decision making. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better person to have helped us get our first home. We now consider Angie a close friend of the family and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house. Thank you so much, Angie!" - Felicia M.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Angie’s knowledge of the market, paired with her obsessive attention to detail and incredible work-ethic, made buying our second Austin home a fantastic experience. Because Angie and the Hindsite team are so organized, my wife and I soon realized that we were able to focus on the logistics of moving, trusting her to guide us through the process. It’s always a pleasant surprise to realize you’re working with someone who’s great at their job. It’s even better when that person is coaching you through the biggest purchase of your life. Thanks, Angie!" - Thomas M. + Zynnya S.
