"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.

"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.

★★★★★

★★★★★
"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

"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

"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.

"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!)" - Rich A.

★★★★★
"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 and Wayde T.

★★★★★
"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.

★★★★★
"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 ‘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.

★★★★★
"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.

★★★★★
"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.

★★★★★
"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.

★★★★★
"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.

★★★★★
"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

★★★★★
"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.

★★★★★
"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.

★★★★★
"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.
