Kristen Jacobs

★★★★★
"We chose Kristen because she is incredibly knowledgeable, resourceful, and trustworthy. Our original plan was to move to California, complete a few updates on the house from a distance, and then put it on the market once everything was ready. Kristen provided honest, practical advice about which improvements were worth investing in and which ones could wait, helping us make smart decisions with our money. When we drove away, we left our home in her hands with complete confidence. Although I gathered repair bids and coordinated potential contractors, Kristen made it a point to meet with them before any decisions were made to ensure we were getting the best value and quality. Once we moved, she took over communication with contractors, coordinated schedules, and kept everything moving efficiently so that not a single day was wasted. She even stepped in and completed some tasks herself. Kristen staged the home beautifully and made sure it was always clean, polished, and ready for showings. We received an offer quickly, and when the first contract fell through, she immediately went to work. She ensured that every item from the inspection report was addressed, allowing us to keep the house on the market without interruption. Her strategic approach was invaluable—she proactively communicated with other agents about the inspection issues and the work that had been completed. As a result, we received another offer very quickly. Even during moments when we weren’t sure how everything would come together, Kristen remained calm, communicative, and solution-oriented. She consistently leveraged her experience and network of resources to help us navigate every challenge and ultimately get the sale closed. We are incredibly grateful that we chose Kristen. Her dedication, professionalism, and commitment went far beyond what we ever expected from a realtor. Any home seller would be fortunate to have Kristen on their side." - Jacqueline M.

"Kristen is hands-down the best realtor we have had the pleasure of working with. She helped us sell and then purchase a new home in a unique situation. She rose to the occasion with professionalism and expertise. The selling and buying process can be stressful, but we always felt we were in great hands, and she guided us through every step. Her communication and negotiation skills are exceptional. We recommend Kristen for your real estate needs - she truly is outstanding!" - Angela S.

"We've been recommending Kristen to friends and family for years, but this was the first time we actually worked with her directly, and we couldn’t be happier! She helped us sell two pretty unique properties that we used for short-term rentals and family get-togethers. They were a little outside the box, so we really needed someone who knew what they were doing.
She did an awesome job keeping us in the loop and making sure we were informed throughout the whole process. It felt like we always knew what was going on and what our options were, which made everything way smoother. Even when things got tricky, she was on top of it and super easy to work with.
If you need a realtor who knows her stuff and makes the whole process feel a lot less stressful, we highly recommend her. A little backwards doing it this way, but glad we finally worked together directly! " - Christine M.

★★★★★
"We listed our home with another agent over a year ago and pulled it from the market after 6 months and no movement. We listed with Kristen this past spring/summer and have successfully sold the house. She was great with realistic initial pricing, providing weekly updates, and during the negotiation process. She also happened to be on a family vacation on the other side of the world during a stint and organized another agent to help and was even available herself. Highly recommend!" - Anonymous

"Kristen was absolutely amazing to work with while buying our first home in Texas—she made the entire process feel smooth and exciting. She was incredibly responsive, always quick to answer our questions and kept us informed every step of the way. Even when we ran into a difficult situation, Kristen handled it with grace- going above and beyond to make sure we felt supported and cared for. We would HIGHLY recommend Kristen!" - Mackenzie C.

★★★★★
"Kristen was a gift from God to take care of the sale of our home! We chose her after seeing other great reviews and she has been the best possible realtor. She took care of everything from beginning to end. She has a ton of knowledge in this area, but the most impressive thing is that she always follows through on what she said and what we asked. She is very detail oriented and leaves nothing undone. She is so trustworthy that I never wondered what was going on and it felt like a very easy process with her taking care of everything behind the scenes." - Aldo P.

"Kristen was our advocate during the recent purchase of our new home! Her professional interactions (including strong negation skills) and cheerful spirit make working with her a delight. She really knows the realty space. Since this is our first home and first realty experience, she was able to provide clarity and guide us while letting us make the decisions. From the very beginning, Kristen listened actively when I spontaneously called her. She proactively looked into the property I was referencing and suggested we visit it the next morning. We trusted her intuition and put in the offer terms she suggested after the viewing. Our offer was accepted within hours. One of the standout qualities was how tough and skilled she was when it came time to negotiate. She fought for our best interests and made sure we got the best possible deal, something we truly appreciated as first-time buyers navigating in unfamiliar territory. She has a way of connecting with all parties involved in the transaction, which made us feel comfortable, respected, and well-represented. We deeply appreciated that personal touch she adds as well as her expertise. Every loose end we gave her, she tied up. She always had a schedule and was proactive during the escrow period. Yet, she knows how to balance proactivity with giving enough space for all processes to take shape. Thank you, Kristen, our realty advocate! Only you could have helped us find and facilitate the purchase of our first home! You are a role model for all in realty. We cannot commend your work enough! :) Listening, negotiation, and organization all characterize Kristen's professionalism. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and tenacious realtor, look no further. This is someone who genuinely has your back." - Hasan + Natasha M.

★★★★★
"Kristen did a fantastic job keeping me up to date and finding a super handyman to keep the property looking good throughout the process. All communication was positive and she helped me through the process of getting the home sold in a fast and efficient manner. She is definitely my realtor in the Austin area." - David F.

★★★★★
"Working with Kristen was a truly incredible experience. She is so knowledgeable and hands on through the whole process. She made buying a home and selling a home a breeze. We were able to get into our dream home and sell our old home for over asking. If you need a one-stop shop realtor, then Kristen is the one for you! I absolutely recommend her for all your home needs! " - Lisa S.

★★★★★
"We had an incredible experience working with Kristen Jacobs as our real estate agent. From the moment we put our house on the market to our first open house to the final Closing just over two weeks later, Kristen exceeded our expectations. Her professionalism and expertise made the entire process feel effortless, even though we were relocating from Austin to Colorado. Kristen was with us every step of the way, handling all the details and ensuring everything ran smoothly. We trusted her completely, and despite being absent from much of the in-person setup, she made sure we never felt out of the loop. Her ability to juggle everything seamlessly was a relief during an otherwise stressful time. Kristen was a joy to work with. She was organized, responsive, and proactive in ensuring everything was handled. Thanks to her, we genuinely can't believe how painless the entire selling process was. We would 100% recommend Kristen to anyone needing a real estate agent. We wish we could work with her to buy our next home (in CO)!" - Lesley R.

★★★★★
"I absolutely recommend Kristen to anyone in need of a realtor. I had the best experience on a very complicated situation! She is extremely professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and has some serious negotiating skills. She has the "calm through the storm" personality with a positive attitude and she goes above and beyond. My experience with her is all praise... 100% will use her services in the future again. I also want to say, wowww on the marketing! My home pictures were magazine-worthy after she finished setting it all up. Extremely positive experience!" - Nanda V.

★★★★★
"So Wonderful! She helped us buy our new home in Tarrytown, and sell our old home in Barton Hills. She worked super hard to get our home ready for sale, finding people to do cosmetic repairs, painting, and finding a stager. SUPER RESPONSIVE to calls and texts. I can’t recommend enough." - Jamie J.

★★★★★
"Kristen is clearly ahead of her peers in delivering exceptional customer service and certainly demonstrated that she is truly one of the best during our recent sale. Kristen was well informed, listened to our needs and clearly communicated the best way forward with the sale. Kristen further went out of her way to make herself available to answer questions, be it via text, phone or in person. Kristen is a true professional, and I give her the highest recommendation. I would most certainly recommend this truly exceptional real estate professional. " - Anthony F.

★★★★★
"Kristen was great to work with, buying my and my husband's first home! She was friendly, organized, always eager to answer questions, and patient in helping us understand the process as first-time home buyers. Kristen was quick to schedule house tours and shared helpful insights at each place. She listened to our feedback and really understood what we were looking for in a house. When we were ready to put an offer on a house, she went above and beyond to help us through it, making herself easily accessible via phone, text, email, etc. She was our advocate and looked out for our best interests in negotiating offers, making sure we got a fair deal. We would absolutely recommend Kristen to anyone in the Austin area looking for a realtor. We would definitely work with her again in the future if the opportunity presents itself!" - Amanda D.

★★★★★
"Personal, supportive, expert, informative, patient are a few words that describe my house purchase experience with Compass. Kristen was referred to me and she didn’t disappoint. Kristen’s ability to find homes that were specific to my criteria while also managing my expectations eased the entire home buying process in such a crazy market. Her knowledge of the market and pretty much every area in and surrounding Austin helped me navigate a new world. I was always able to receive assistance from her even while on vacation because she, too, understood that time was of the essence. What I appreciated most was the fact that I never felt pressured or disregarded when the homes we looked at weren’t of my specifications. Quite honestly there were several instances where she was honest and forthright about a property she knew wasn’t going to be a good fit based on my long term strategy. She went above and beyond while representing me no matter what. Kristen took the time to understand exactly what I want; in the areas I wanted while providing her insight on the shifting market. She was responsive at all times via email or phone. Purchasing a home is one of the most emotional things a person can do and having a realtor that truly has our best interest in mind, listens and processes your every word and doesn’t see you as just another commission is so refreshing. Kristen is one of the best!" - Shante W.

★★★★★
"Working with Kristen Jacobs and Compass was exactly what we needed. I don't buy and sell houses everyday, so there is not a lot of opportunity to learn from the experience and apply it to the "next time". If you want a partner that actively asks your goals, brings services, market data, and experience to the table, I cannot recommend Kristen highly enough for this important decision. Her service, honesty, and dependability were invaluable. You might read other reviews that use those words, because they are easily applied in writing. But you get them in reality with Kristen. We asked to put our house on the market almost immediately. She provided a staging consultant, an exceptional realty photographer, meaningful market data with context and explanation, advice, honest feedback in service of meeting our goals, representation, and work, work, work. We wanted to sell our house quickly and get top dollar for it. She gave us the services and direction we needed to make that happen. Selling your house is personal. Make sure you have the right partner." - Kristin H.

★★★★★
"Kristen Jacobs helped us find the perfect home! We looked for a retirement home for several months, each home better than the next, but we kept looking. She encouraged us to see a house she had found that checked off all our boxes. She was right. We made an offer that very day. She knew us better than we knew ourselves. The home was our dream home. Within two weeks she sold our house and we are now living our dream. She was patient, knowledgable and guided us without being pushy. Thank you so much, Kristen." - Martica A.

★★★★★
"My husband and I got to know Kristen from a friend’s referral. And as a first time home buyer in this unpredictable housing market you really need a knowledgeable, trustworthy and passionate real estate agent like Kristen to help you go through this crazy road. Its been a long journey for us to finally be moving in our new built home, and she is always there with us every step of the way (weekends included), you won’t be worried because you know Kristen have your back and willing to go above and beyond to be able to help you even in the smallest bump you encounter. She helped us a lot in this home-buying experience, she never pushed us to decide on anything we are not confident with but she gives her input that would really make sense, she is the best negotiator you could ever have, she was so patient in answering all the questions I have and being a first timer I have tons, she would go an extra mile just to help you out. So, thank you Kristen for traveling this road with us. Let’s travel again someday!!" - Doniel + Dharyl Jane A.

★★★★★
"Kristen helped us purchase our first home in the Austin area as we were relocating from California. We had an amazing experience with Kristen as our realtor! From the moment we first spoke with her over the phone, we knew she would be such a pleasure to work with. She is very genuine in her approach. We loved that she was reliable, honest, organized, had impeccable communication, incredibly friendly, and truly had our best interests at heart. She took the time to tour homes with us over FaceTime and always gave us honest opinions. She really cares for her client's happiness rather than just making a quick sale. She guided us through each step of the way, explaining what to expect, how the process works, and the best approach to being successful in purchasing a home. She truly made it a seamless experience. Overall we felt confident in Kristen’s ability to help us find our first home, and we were lucky enough to find it quickly. Even after our home purchase, she’s been incredibly helpful with answering follow-up questions and providing a great list of recommendations and resources. We highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking to purchase a home in Austin!" - Jenny L.

★★★★★
"We have nothing but positive things to say about our house-selling experience with your whole team. From the beginning consultation when Kristen and Lourdes came to help us decide how best to prep for the sale, to the very end with a remote closing, everything went unbelievably smoothly. Lourdes was super available throughout the process, even answering detailed questions about paint color and blinds. She gave us expert advice (with Kristen's help and consultation) about list price, when to list, and staging. I think they hit it all just right. Then the paperwork/legal process was so smooth and easy. It's the kind of thing everyone dreads, but there were zero hitches. It was all so very easy. I really think we couldn't have done any better with our little house. We are so very very thrilled and would recommend Lourdes, Kristen, and your whole team to anyone buying or selling in Austin." - Amanda A.

"Kristen Jacobs is an exceptional real estate agent! Considerate of clients' needs, insightful, organized and good company!" - Mark M.

★★★★★
"Kristen is the best! She was thorough, professional, and great to work with. She kept us informed as soon as there is a new home in the market. We are first-time home buyers, and she made our journey very memorable! You can feel her commitment and sincerity. She is well equipped with the real estate market and always refers to her experiences which is very important. We felt at ease with her from the beginning and didn’t feel any pressure during the process. She really went above and beyond. Just to add, we are very confident with her and we have been referring/recommending her to our friends from the beginning! Thank you very much for helping us out every step of the way! We appreciate it so much!" - Eliza C.

★★★★★
"Kristen Jacobs is a phenomenal realtor. She represented us for both the purchase and sale of our home. It is clear she has many years of industry expertise and a great understanding of the fluctuating market. Her know-how proved to be very beneficial when making important decisions, and we feel she is by and large the reason we had a seamless and successful experience!" - Kristin B.

★★★★★
"Just wanted to let you know that we couldn't have been happier with using Kristen Jacobs as our realtor. We decided to use her based on her expertise in our neighborhood. But she offered us so much more during the sales experience. As we bought our new home in Dallas and made the move, she was more than accommodating to our ever-changing schedule. After moving, we held an estate sale, and again, she was very flexible and helpful with that process. And then once the house was on the market she was a calming presence as we received multiple offers and evaluated our options. We had hoped to get an offer above our asking price and with her knowledge, we received several offers well above ask. But not only that, Kristen seemed to always anticipate our needs and offer us help before we could even impose upon her. Whether it was taking out the garbage cans or checking the mail while we were out of town, she gladly offered to help us. We couldn't have asked for more from our realtor and we will gladly recommend her to friends and family in the future." - Brenda + Greg H.

★★★★★
"Spot-on in all areas. From start to finish we were guided and allowed to ask a million questions. All was seamless and we ended up with the best buyers for our home. This home selling experience could not have been better. Thank you Kristen." - Melanie C.

★★★★★
"Working with Kristen has been a wonderful experience. She is communicative, tactfully honest, and incredibly easy to work with. I feel so lucky to have been introduced to her and to have had such an amazing guide through the whole home-buying process. I've probably recommended her to about three other people by now and, should I ever get the chance to purchase another property in Austin, I can't imagine working with anyone else." - Elva T.

★★★★★
"Kristen Jacobs is the consummate professional encompassing every single key point and need. Her communication skill level is the highest, most professional, and effective. She understands her clients and anticipates their needs, confirming along the way. Her response time is immediate. If all real estate agents were as great as her, we’d be in heaven. I have completed 3 real estate transactions with Kristen and have been extremely satisfied each and every time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart." - Tanja H.

★★★★★
"Kristen is absolutely great! I would highly recommend using her for your real estate needs. We have had a great experience with her purchasing multiple homes as well as helping to lease a few of them. She is very creative and is able to work through multiple aspects beyond just the price to strengthen your offer to give her clients the best chance to secure a home. She is also very passionate about building a professional relationship with her client and very responsive to make sure you are her #1 priority until you are closed on the home. One thing I absolutely love about Kristen is that she always gives her honest opinions and it allows you to think logically about your purchase (especially investment purchases). This is crucial to make sure your ROI is maximized with such large purchases. Lastly, she is never just trying to make a “sale” and always has the best interest of her clients. If you are in the Austin area, Kristen should be your go-to person for any real estate needs!" - A. Abraham

★★★★★
"Words cannot convey how glad we are to have chosen Kristen Jacobs to represent us! She completely exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond to help us throughout the process with impeccable follow-up to all our matters. We both know a lot of real estate agents but decided to choose Kristen for her knowledge, experience, service to the community and neighborhood. We look forward to working with her again and will highly recommend her to anyone!" - Osman

★★★★★
"Kristen has a keen ability to adapt and remain unflappable no matter what comes up during the process of selling your home. She always remains positive and focused on your goals, all while sharing her experience and insights. We highly trusted her advice and were extremely pleased with our outcome. My husband and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kristen to all our family and friends." - Julie A.

★★★★★
"As first-time home-buyers in a wild market, Kristen was a constant support and source of knowledge. She was always positive yet realistic and incredibly responsive to all of our questions. She builds a professional and friendly rapport with everyone she interacts with and truly advocates for her clients. We would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future!" - Lauren B.

★★★★★
"Kristen is an absolute pleasure to work with and made our entire home buying process so smooth. She was unbelievably responsive, walked us through each step of the process, and made us feel prepared for everything that we had to deal with from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house in any market. It would have been much harder to succeed without her help." - Jackie M.

★★★★★
"Kristin Jacobs is an amazing realtor. I cannot say enough great things about her. Never intrusive but always present and available, she went above and beyond in every instance. We are convinced that our home sold for 26% over the asking price due to the masterful staging expert she brought in, her early communication with flyers to our neighbors and timely, much-needed advice, and her additional long list of resources like roofers and cleaners. The home looked fabulous, and we had 5 or 6 solid offers in a matter of days. She is smart, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. I would definitely use her again if we ever move. " - Eileen K.

★★★★★
"Kristen was terrific. An absolute pleasure to work with. She was unbelievably responsive, walked us through each step of the process, and made us feel prepared for everything that we had to deal with from start to finish.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house in any market. It would have been much harder to succeed without her help." - Justin F.

★★★★★
"Kristen is an incredible Realtor and a great person, and we enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the Austin area. Kristen is patient and knowledgeable, listened carefully and mindfully to what we were looking for in a home, and helped us navigate the incredibly competitive Austin real estate market. In the end, we found a wonderful house in a neighborhood we didn't know existed until Kristen suggested that it would be a great fit for our needs (and she was right!). Not only did she make the home search feel much less stressful, but her ability to clearly guide us through the offer and closing process (during the onset of the COVID crisis) was also invaluable." - D. M.

★★★★★
"Kristen provides true five-star service. I worked with her during COVID to purchase an investment home that just recently closed. As a first-time home buyer, I really appreciated her ability (and ready willingness!) to teach patiently; her background in education comes as a surprise to no one. For first-timers, I would highly recommend her. Kristen was superbly attentive (she always picked up by the third ring, weekends included), lets you drive the process how you want but happily steps in to provide advice/assistance when appropriate, and has the know-how and insider's information to put you at ease. Has polished professionalism complemented by an easy likeability and quickly develops trustworthiness that I think is well deserved." - Ben C.

★★★★★
"As a first-time homebuyer, I was anxious about the process. But Kristen Jacobs was there every step of the way to answer my many questions, offer thoughtful perspective, and provide thorough professional advice. She was also very responsive and never pressured me to make a move I wasn't comfortable with. I would hands-down recommend Kristen to anyone looking to purchase a home, and she will be my go-to for any future real estate needs." - Kate R.

★★★★★
"Kristen Jacobs is by far the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. After a career in the military with relocations that involved numerous home purchases and sales, we settled in Austin 19 years ago and have purchased and sold several homes here. We recently purchased what will hopefully be our last home, which made finding and selecting the right home more important than ever. We are so grateful we found Kristen to guide us through our search and purchase. Kristen listened to what WE wanted, was always available and tireless in the search for our home. She was also honest and helpful when it came to evaluating the positive and less than positive things about the houses we considered.
We were also in a situation with a short but firm deadline, which put additional pressure on our search, selection, and closing. Kristen guided us through the entire process, which was complicated by a surprisingly competitive housing market due to COVID and a significantly reduced inventory of homes in the Austin area. Kristen worked tirelessly to find and narrow down properties, provided market analysis to help establish a fair price, and then advised us through negotiations and closing.
If you want a great real estate agent to maximize the chances of success with either the purchase or sale of your home, we highly recommend Kristen Jacobs." - Scott S.

★★★★★
"We had bought our new home with the help of Kristen Jacobs and Compass in less than three months. From first reaching out with Kristen until closing, she's been above beyond in her service and care for her clients. We will definitely reach out to her for any future real state transactions." - Cindy F.

★★★★★
"Kristen was my agent during my most recent home search and purchase (Jan 2020 to Jun 2020). My search was primarily concentrated in Southwest Austin, out as far as Bee Cave. As far as 45 on the Southside of Circle C. Kristen is an expert in these areas and has a strong network of other agents helps her stay abreast of upcoming listings.
Kristen is everything a realty agent should be. She understands your needs. Diligent in all aspects of the buying process. Communicative at all times. And incredibly knowledgeable about the realty market in Austin. Importantly, she will not BS you and will always research into anything she doesn't immediately know the answer to, rather than string you along. Kristen also has a solid list of third-parties such as loan officers, inspectors, etc. that she recommends.
Her patience in answering my millions of questions and guiding me in my purchase, from the initial introductory sit-down meeting at her office through the closing table at the title company. She flat out told me to walk away from a property because I was hasty (I was, it was a bad layout and not my ideal location), proving once and for all, she isn't in this just for a quick close. Very thankful for this as I am so much in love with where I ended up. She gave me an answer to a question, clarified she wasn't 100% certain, and followed up less than an hour later after some research to provide me with the verified answer and additional color beyond what I asked. Yet another example of why she is a top agent, Kristen recommended additional resources for me to reach out to, getting me a better loan than I was being offered.
Ultimately Kristen is very professional, seeks the best outcome for her clients, and will work closely with you to get the best outcome. A great partner for my home search and a great agent to represent me. Highly recommended!" - Gareth V.

★★★★★
"Thoughtful, efficient, and ultra-responsive. Kristen is everything you dream of in a Realtor, especially in the fast-paced Austin market. I approached Kristen to help me in what must've been the most difficult time to navigate real estate: I was relocating to Austin from California, while most of the world was shut down due to COVID-19. Kristen was quick to understand my goals, set-up a search, and started sifting through the options. She gave me a tour through my favorite homes over Facetime, fully assuming the role of my eyes and ears on the ground before I was finally able to make a trip out. This was only my second home purchase, but Kristen always met my questions with deep care and guidance. To top it all off, she referred me to some of the most responsive and friendly vendors in Austin: loan officers, inspectors, electricians, etc. She made the whole process so fun and easy! If you're in the market for a Realtor, I'd highly recommend Kristen! I'm excited about my next home search, just so I can work with her again!" - Caroline P.

★★★★★
"In one word, Kristen is exceptional. She is the agent everyone hopes for when they decide to buy and sell their homes. Kristen is patient, responsive, smart, kind, communicative, knowledgeable, and just fun to work with. She expertly guided us through the entire process (which included a year-long search for our perfect home) and did so with us living in Washington, D.C. She took us on FaceTime tours of houses because she was so attuned to our wants and desires in a home. Kristen ultimately was able to find our dream home through her extensive network of professionals before it even hit the market. Kristen is an asset and a gem, and I recommend her to all buyers and sellers without reservation." - Charity T.

★★★★★
"This was the second property that Kristen Jacobs helped us with in the past two years, which underscores how much we trust and value her as our Realtor. She is incredibly diligent, timely, and thorough (all characteristics we appreciate during the tedious process of selling and buying). We have recommended her to our own networks, given our incredible experience with her." - Jenny G.

★★★★★
"Kristen Jacobs was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the process. Her guidance and advice were provided thoughtfully and proactively and helped us make the right decisions along the way. She’s very knowledgeable and includes her resources and extended team to provide the best information and perspective. She acted as our seller’s agent and again as a buyer’s agent. On the selling side, she did a great job marketing, and we had a very active showing, resulting in multiple over asking price offers and, in turn, a final selling price well over list. On the buying side, she proved her worth again, helping us deal with a very competitive market in Westlake and dealing with a less than adequate selling agent with constantly changing dates and information. Her persistence and attention to detail during the process was appreciated and well managed. There are two agents involved in every deal, and you want Kristen to be on your side!" - Bart + Jill G.

★★★★★
"Kristen Jacobs has all the qualities of an excellent professional. She is unfailingly upbeat, scrupulously honest, and a tireless worker. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone. Ms. Jacobs reflects great credit not only to herself but to Compass." - Phil L.

★★★★★
"Kristen Jacobs, what can I say about her? A plethora of words come to mind. Informative, generous, kind, smart, fast, genuine, clear, and gracious are my top ones! Kristen made my husband, John, and I feel comfortable during the entire process of buying our home. We knew we could always ask any question, and she would get back to us as quickly as reasonably possible. Kristen always made comments with us in mind first, and never did we feel pressured at any point to buying a home "just because it was available." She is a professional Realtor in my eyes, and I would not hesitate to call upon her again." - Kate E.

★★★★★
"We used Kristen to find us a house under very challenging circumstances. We wanted to move into a specific neighborhood that did not have many houses available for sale. Kristen went above and beyond to find a house for us that met all of our desires, basically our dream house. Kristen canvassed the neighborhood, wrote letters to homeowners, and spent hours and hours trying to get the perfect house for us. I would highly recommend her for her work ethic, knowledge of the market, and her ability to make it happen." - Chris C.

★★★★★
"Kristen was recommended to us by a friend who worked with her on the sale of a home in southwest Austin. When it came time to sell our home, Kristen was at the top of our list of Realtors to work with. From our first meeting to look at our home before putting it on the market to our final meeting at closing to sign papers, Kristen was there throughout the journey. Her expertise on the area helped with pricing, and her suggestion to stage the home helped show off the house's highlights to potential buyers. Kristen is professional, very responsive, friendly, and guided us through each step of the selling process. We are grateful for her and could not be happier with the final sale price and experience of selling our home." - Naya W.

★★★★★
"Kristen Jacobs was extremely helpful and attentive throughout our home buying experience. She went above and beyond to assist and accommodate us. We were very pleased with her level of expertise and excellent communication. We'd absolutely recommend Kristen to others!" - Joni W.

"Thank you, Kristen Jacobs, for all your dedication and hard work to get our house ready to be on the market and getting it sold in a tight market when sales were very slow. Thank you, and best wishes to Kristen & team." - Mary C.

★★★★★
"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Kristen this year as we \made the move\" from New York City to Austin. Our first task was to find a home and a neighborhood that we liked. Being new to Austin we had much to learn and explore, and Kristen was incredibly patient with us and took the time to show us many different options around Austin. Another thing I really appreciated about Kristen was her promptness. Whenever she told me that she would call me or email me, Kristen always did and she also always showed up on time (or early) for our appointments. Kristen also always answered any questions that we had, even if that meant that she had to take time to do some research and get back to us. My husband and I found Kristen to be prompt, professional, intelligent, and thoughtful. In the end, we purchased a beautiful new home that we absolutely adore for a price that we were pleased with. The process was exciting and enjoyable, and we gave Kristen a lot of the credit for that. If we ever need to purchase another home in Austin, we won't hesitate to use Kristen." - Ms. Garcia

"As always, Kristen has been amazing! We are grateful for all she does to work so hard for us, and we will ALWAYS refer her and work with her. Can't really say there is anything she can do to improve! Five stars! She's a gem and knows her stuff!" - Tracey L.

"I've worked with Kristen now, several times. I believe this was our 3rd transaction together and she is AWESOME! I've referred her to friends, as well. We are going to start looking to purchase some land in the next 6-12 months and plan to have Kristen represent us. We love working with her and feel like she genuinely is interested in what our needs are, finding the best solution and what is in our best interest. We really enjoy working with her and we would recommend her to anyone we know that's looking to buy, sell or rent." - Michelle N.

"Kristen was a godsend for us when we came up with the decision to move from NY to Austin, TX. Initially, we were referred to a different real estate agent local to the area in which we were interested to buy a house. A couple of days later I received a follow-up call from Kristen, I reconsidered my agent choice because by that time lack of sufficient communication on the first agent's part, and failure to listen to our requests and change the search criteria accordingly did not make me happy or eager to work with that agent. In our phone conversation, Kristen sounded very friendly, knowledgeable and down to earth. Within half an hour after we hang up, I started receiving automatic real estate listing updates set up by Kristen according to all my requirements (area, square footage, school district and more). Also, Kristen sent me another email that contained her thoughts on the best options for our business that I had mentioned to her we are planning to open once we move. Before and during my visit to Austin Kristen was extremely attentive to my needs, had our best interest in mind the whole time, and was right on top of every single question/ issue/follow-up we had to have that concerned the properties she was about to show me. Guess what? By the end of the VERY FIRST DAY of our search, after Kristen showed me approximately ten different houses within 4 or 5 hours window, we had a winner. I liked one of the houses that, by the time we came to see, had multiple offers on. Kristen kept communicating with the listing agent back and forth to make sure we will have enough time to prepare and submit our offer before everything will be presented to the owners. She advised and instructed me on the best offer tactics that are Austin market-specific, and with Kristen's help the offer was written up and submitted in under an hour. At 10 pm that night I received a phone call from her with congratulations on my purchasing that house!!! With five offers on the house, ours came up a winner. What can I say? Every time I met up with Kristen to discuss additional details of the deal, sign the documents and such, her attentiveness to details, her professionalism and willingness to help was well beyond the required. Kristen provided me with a full list of utility companies and their phone numbers, helped me find inspectors to do an inspection of the house in 2 days (absolutely impossible thing in the booming Austin market), and picked up some tourist guides and local attraction booklets for me so I could make the most out of my first visit to Austin. To conclude everything said above, KRISTEN IS AMAZING IN EVERY WAY. If you are looking to relocate to Austin area, do yourself a favor and get in touch with Kristen for all your real estate needs. It could only be the best decision you will make, just as right as making an offer on your dream house or finding an apartment you fall in love with at first sight." - Tanya M.

"We have worked with Kristen Jacobs and have found her to be very professional, very courteous, and knowledgeable. I would recommend Kristen for any real estate dealing you may have." - J.P. Z .

"Kristen was great especially for me, a first time home buyer. She answered every question I had and caught a number of things on paperwork that I wouldn't have. I also didn't feel pressured by Kristen to make a decision just for the purpose of making one, despite seeing a large number of homes. I don't have any negative feedback or constructive criticism." - Blake A.

★★★★★
"I really enjoyed working with Kristen. I think she helped me truly decide what was important in a home to me. As a first time home buyer, Kristen was patient with me and helped me learn about the process along the way." - Sandra S.

★★★★★
"Kristen jumped right in to help me find a house when I had to suddenly move out of my current home due to unforeseen circumstances. She was 110% on top of all the details, super responsive on email and text and most of all I felt she really understood and genuinely cared about my needs. Kristen even took the time to get to know me and my business. I'm very impressed with Kristen and highly recommend her to help you find your next home." - Jennifer O.

★★★★★
"Kristen was by far and away the best Realtor I could've ever imagined. From start to finish, she anticipated every single need we didn't even know we had and handled it like a boss. Through no fault of Kristen's, the process got kind of stressful for a small stretch towards the end with a delayed closing and plans ruined for all parties. But just the way she responded to it, kept us in the loop, handled things that needed to get done, stayed on top of the people who were slacking on the side of the lenders, I can't possibly imagine anyone having done a better job. We feel so fortunate that we got her. Whatever she gets paid on this is not enough. We could not have gotten through this without Kristen. I've never in my life met someone who is better at their job than she is at hers. With maybe the exception of my father and my wife. And I can speak for my wife, Kat, as well. She has been just as impressed as I. I will never consult the housing market again without reaching out to Kristen. She's the first on the list of invitees to our housewarming party. Kristen is welcome to any party we ever throw, and I'd be proud to add her to our list of friends. She will be the first name I mention to anyone who is ever in the real estate market." - Matt S.

"Kristen is a fantastic Realtor and will reset your expectations. I have purchased several homes in the past, and Kristen was the best (by far) that I have ever had a chance to work with. She is a warm and friendly person that truly works hard and looks out for her buyers and their interest. Historically when I worked with Realtors in the past, I did a lot of the work and often felt the sale was more important to them instead of them genuinely wanted to protect my interest. Kristen from our initial meeting worked to understand my needs, overall taste and what was import to my family. From that initial meeting until days after the closing she stood by my side to ensure that I was a happy homeowner. Kristen would often point out flaws or share concerns before I saw them or shared them. This gave me a confidence that I had not experienced with Realtors before. I knew that she was more interested in protecting my time and ensuring I was happy then just making a sale. Do you want a Realtor that will invest her time to know your taste and needs, protect your time, work hard for you and ensure that you are informed and making a sound financial decision? Call Kristen she will reset your expectations for Realtors and make sure you find the perfect home." - Juste T.

★★★★★
"Kristen helped us sell our house recently. She was very punctual, dependable, responsive, easy to work with, and she showcased a strong understanding of the home selling process. Her intimacy with the neighborhood and upcoming development projects nearby also gave her an edge when talking to potential buyers during the pre-market open house. Kristen also offered a full package of contacts to help make our home ready; a stager, photographer, and other home services. We got multiple offers while the house was in a coming soon status, which resulted in a higher than asking price sale before it was officially on the market." - Samir + Vaidehee G.

★★★★★
"My wife and I searched for over a year for our perfect home. Then we met Kristen. Within a month we found our dream home, made a competitive offer and were well on our way to becoming the new owners. Her knowledge, skill, and patience helped us through the brambles of buying a home. We couldn't have done it without her. We not only found our perfect home (which we've been in for four months now), but we also made a great friend along the way. Thanks, Kristen!" - The Cramtons

"My husband and I had the incredibly good fortune of meeting Kristen Jacobs while we were checking out houses in Austin. I am confident that it's because of Kristen's experience, wonderful personality, superb negotiation skills, expertise and the excellent rapport she has with other agents (and people in general) that our offer was accepted the same day we made it on a multiple offer situation. We had set up an appointment with another Realtor in the area who came highly recommended, and to use our time before the scheduled meeting, and we walked into an open house Kristen happened to be showing. On previous trips to Austin, before we knew we were moving there for sure, we had spent two full days with two different Realtors while we were looking in a different area of Austin. We followed up with our meeting with the other Realtor we planned on working with, and right away I felt so lucky that we met Kristen! In my opinion, every other agent paled in comparison, and we would have been none the wiser had we not met Kristen! We instantly clicked with Kristen! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of each area we were interested in, but she gave us so much useful information about everything we could want to know about each house and each region and each school district. Kristen is always the most wonderful, personable, and honest person whose info is far more useful, relevant and well-informed than we had received on previous trips. She is brilliant with people (all kinds of people from all walks of life). Kristen is extremely patient, intelligent, honest, kind, and beyond helpful. Minutes after meeting her, she already had an excellent sense of what we were looking for and sent us a list of houses that fit our needs. Every question, big and small, Kristen answered thoroughly, and right away too. The enormous amount of time she dedicated to us and all the extra effort she gives, WAY above and beyond the call of duty makes you feel like you are her only clients in the world, and everything feels smooth as possible! I never once felt like she was pushing the sale of a house on us and it was apparent she cares enormously about finding the right home for you, no matter how long that takes. We are first time home buyers, and Kristen made the process easy, clear and understandable, guiding us through the process and making it so smooth and manageable, always giving the sagest advice most gently and warmly. I never felt rushed, pressured, or that she wanted us to buy the house at the highest end of our budget. Kristen truly wants you to have the home you love, the one that you are meant to be in and makes the entire process fun and remarkably enjoyable. My kids loved her too! We returned to California, and Kristen handled it all from Austin for us. She met with the inspector, with my husband when he flew down there again and walked through the entire contract with him, going over all the details. Kristen did a walk-through of the house again for us, measuring rooms and spaces, taking extra photos for us, and showed it to my parents when they went down for a weekend. Kristen truly is a gem (as a human being and as a Realtor), I am very grateful to have purchased our very first home with her help, and even more grateful to have her as a new friend in my new town! We plan on buying an apartment too, and will without a single doubt have Kristen as our Realtor again, and of course, recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding experience finding the perfect home!" - Melissa S.

"Our experience with Kristen Jacobs as our listing agent was outstanding! She is an effective, professional, friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly, helped us set a price record in our neighborhood in two days on the market! The offer closed in a swift manner allowing us to purchase our new home out of state. When my husband found a job opportunity back east, I was stressed out about selling our house, relocating and the general upheaval to our lives. Kristen went above and beyond by not only selling our home at a great price, but she also helped us take care of the details that come up during closure and moving. She put a lot of effort into marketing by hiring an excellent photographer who made our home look stunning! The online listing looked great, and I loved how the "Twist Tour" gave us statistics about views. We really couldn't have asked for anything more, and Kristen really treated us like family." - Lauren H.

"I truly enjoyed working with Kristen Jacobs. She was on top of everything and always had my best interests at heart. She was professional at all times, never pressured or pushed, and was ALWAYS there when I needed her. I not only got an awesome Realtor, but I gained a friend." - Tiffany T.

★★★★★
"We know we made the right decision for who to use as our real estate agent! Kristen was AMAZING through our entire home selling experience. From pricing our home to making suggestions for staging to selling our home quickly and for top dollar! We ended up with multiple offers and Kristen did a fantastic job negotiating for us. I honestly felt like we were her only client the entire time we worked with her. Kristen could rattle off all the details about our house and our competition without missing a beat. We look forward to working with her again to purchase our next home!" - A. Kennedy

★★★★★
"We had the best experience! I can't say enough great things about Kristen. She is extremely thorough and detail oriented. She made the process so easy and pleasant. We plan to use her for any future real estate transactions as well as recommend her to friends and family. She is the best!" - Natalie G.

★★★★★
"We reached out to Kristen hoping to find a home in a specific Austin neighborhood. Not only did Kristen work to find upcoming listings for us to have a head start in our community of choice, but when we found ourselves making an offer, she was a staunch advocate for us during negotiations and provided balanced advice. Most importantly, she was incredibly accessible, quick to act and hardworking. We would recommend her to anyone and will certainly use her in the future - as we subsequently did on another property we own that went into a quick lease agreement!" - Jenny G.

★★★★★
"Above and Beyond! That is what you will get with Austin Realtor, Kristen Jacobs! She is so attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. My transaction was a little more complicated in the sense that I was selling in CA and buying in Texas simultaneously! Kristen even connected me with one of the best loan officers I have ever worked with. This was going to be a HUGE move for me, and she understood that. I was grateful all went so smoothly. Before the listing of my home in CA, I came out 2-3 times to look at houses, and I mean look! Kristen drove me everywhere I wanted to go, set up viewings and mapped things out accordingly. She would not stop until she knew that I found the perfect house. We must have looked at 30-40 different homes total. When it came down to a home in Round Rock, we decided that that was the best fit for the best location for me. I was thrilled. From there I had to fly home and NOT see my house again for almost two months! I had to sell and close on my end and meet the timing of the escrow on the Texas end. (Not to mention this whole thing was over the Thanksgiving-Christmas holiday). It was a little crazy but all along Kristen stayed helpful, positive and encouraging on so many levels. Kristen took care of things that I should have done if I were local, but because I was still in CA the time of my closing in Texas she made sure that all fell into place for me. I could not have asked for a better Realtor! I plan on referring all my friends and family to her should they want to purchase a home in the Austin Texas area. I got lucky finding her, and I appreciated all she did and was willing to do for me. In life, you don't find someone that cares about your situation too often, purchasing a home is, and Kristen respected me and my situation from start to finish! Because of the above, we likely will have a lifelong friendship! 100% satisfaction here!" - Linda J.

"We were a first time home buyer with very little knowledge on how the housing market works. Fortunately, we met Kristen in the first open house we went to and luckily she recognized us as her co-parent in our sons' soccer league. From the beginning, she was pleasant to work with. We didn't feel any pressure from her even when we were not decided yet. She offered information with no expectations. The first thing that we liked is that Kristen took the time to understand our situation, what we wanted and what we were looking for in a house. After we have decided to go with her as our agent, it went smoothly. As first timers, we didn't have a hard time as she was able to guide us every step of the way. Kristen quickly responded to all our questions and provided timely information. She had good referrals for all services needed, e.g., Lender, inspector, etc. She was transparent and quickly gained our trust. Within a couple of months from the time we met Kristen at the open house, we were able to close on our dream house. We were so grateful for how things turned out to be. We love our new home so much and so do our family and friends. We would work with her again and would not hesitate to recommend Kristen to our friends who would most likely be first-time buyers too!" - Christine M.

★★★★★
"We sold our home in Lantana and also purchased our new home in Dripping Springs through Kristen. She is very professional, works hard, is always punctual and entirely understands the Lantana neighborhood. She was also very helpful on the buy side, which was new construction (spec home). I would not hesitate to refer Kristen or work with her again sometime in the future." - Rich P.

★★★★★
"Kristen represented my husband, Ben, and I as both buyers and sellers in the Austin market. When we initially expressed interest in relocating to a different part of Austin, Kristen thoroughly gathered information about our wants and needs. We knew that in the current housing market that buying a new home could be challenging as inventory turns over very fast. We found the \perfect\" home and Kristen worked diligently to help us make the right offer. Once our offer was accepted, she was in constant communication with us to ensure a smooth close. When it came time to sell our previous home, we knew we wanted Kristen to represent us again! She did not disappoint, hiring a professional photographer to take the pictures we used on the MLS website. Our home had multiple offers within 48 hours, and we believe that was, in part, due to Kristen's professionalism and hard work. We would highly recommend her if you are looking for a great, knowledgeable Realtor!" - Jessi M.

★★★★★
"Kristen has so many traits that make her an EXCEPTIONAL Realtor and pleasant person to work with, and my husband and I couldn't be happier with our choice to hire her to list our Hyde Park home. This was our first experience selling a house, and Kristen sat down with us to thoroughly go through the process with us. She was incredibly well organized, prepared, and knowledgeable about the market conditions, helping us to set a competitive price for our home. Before the home was even listed on the market, Kristen made thoughtful suggestions about how to prepare the house so that it showed best to prospective buyers. She also went as far as to dedicate her time and energy to help us power wash the walkway! Kristen went above and beyond what I ever would have expected in a Realtor and found her to be patient, attentive, and professional throughout the whole process. She was incredibly reliable and had exceptional communication with us throughout the process. Through Kristen's strong marketing program, Realtor networking, and hard work, we had multiple offers on our home the first weekend it came on the market. Once under contract, Kristen continued to stay in regular communication with us and successfully negotiated on our behalf. Kristen truly exceeded our expectations and had an incredible work ethic. If you want to work a down to earth real estate professional who will get the job done and communicate with you honestly throughout the process, then Kristen is the agent for you." - Mark + Liz A.

"There are no words to describe how wonderful Kristen was to work with. So professional, so detail oriented, so helpful and most of all, so very patient. She gave 110% effort on this transaction. She is a great asset to your company. Loved working with Kristen!" - Donna D.

★★★★★
"When we decided to sell our house in Austin, TX, we chose Kristen Jacobs to be our agent. We could not have made a better choice. From the beginning, we were confident in her strategy and her guidance. She brought in a stager to help us highlight the values of our property. Kristen was always available to answer questions and assist where necessary. We were reassured by Kristen's ability to anticipate our needs and to focus on the important items. She negotiated the selling price of our home as the highest per square foot price ever sold in our neighborhood. We absolutely recommend Kristen Jacobs for your buying and selling needs!" - Leann H.

"We originally found Kristen when we were looking for a rental property when we first moved to Austin. We had worked with a few real estate agents before meeting her, but we immediately felt comfortable with Kristen and trusted her. It was also immediately evident that Kristen was intelligent, reliable and well versed in the real estate process. Her knowledge was priceless. One of the first things Kristen did for us was provide us with some information for families moving to Austin. She listened to our requirements for a rental property and never tried to push an agenda. We looked at several houses but in the end found a home which she recommended in an area we hadn't considered initially, mostly because of our limited knowledge of Austin. Kristen understood what our family needed. She even provided us with references to a child care center, which my girls now attend. Kristen also helped us with purchasing our new house this year. We wouldn't have considered anyone else! It took us ages to find the neighborhood we wanted to purchase a house in. Kristen was incredibly patient! Also, our two little girls were very uninterested in looking at houses all weekend and were understandably cranky. Kristen's patience with our two daughters during these viewings was saintly (this made me a little bit less stressed about the whole process, and I really appreciated this). Buying a house is such a stressful process, and it would have been terrible had we not been able to relax a bit with our daughters there. Most importantly, Kristen saved us money! Kristen was so knowledgeable about the real estate process and what to consider when looking at a house. There were a few houses that I walked into that I fell in love with. I often saw the perspective of the house without considering the cost to update it. These houses required updates that were too time consuming or simply not right for our family (very well decorated but too small). Kristen never went against what we wanted. In fact, she initially put a bid on one of these houses. Nevertheless, Kristen gave us incredibly accurate and useful information about the house. In the end, this let us make the right decision to pull out of negotiations at the right time. So, we decided on a house in a great neighborhood with great schools. This house is right for our family. Kristen's help hasn't stopped here. She has provided us with references for home improvements that have saved us money and the time of researching on our own as well. Both my husband and I are working, so this was really valuable information. We are excited to move into our new property. I would not hesitate to recommend Kristen as a real estate agent. Kristen was professional, reliable and kind. She outshined all of the other real estate agents we came in contact with. We consider Kristen, a friend who has helped our family immensely. We are incredibly grateful for her help and hope to work with her further in the future. Thank you again, Kristen." - Jennifer, Malcolm, Juliette, and Annabelle

"As first-time homebuyers, we were very timid about entering the Austin housing market. We weren't even sure we could realistically buy a house, but Kristen was patient with us until we were ready. She remained accessible to us but was never pushy about choosing her services. Once we started viewing houses and making offers, we leaned heavily on her wise advice. Kristen knows her stuff and picks up on details about a home that we would never have noticed. As soon as we came upon the house that we now own, Kristen worked tirelessly for us in a competitive multiple offer situation. We do not doubt that our offer was chosen because of her guidance in drafting up a contract that was fair and attractive to the sellers. Communication with Kristen is so easy and relaxed. We never felt uncomfortable calling her with any questions or concerns. She always made time for us, especially after business hours, despite having her busy schedule. Kristen has this fantastic ability to make you feel at ease as soon as you meet her. She treats her clients with the utmost respect but also a warmth that has allowed us to count Kristen as one of our good friends now (instead of just our Realtor). Kristen is a phenomenal asset to have on your team. We cannot say enough kind words to describe how much she has done for us!" - Dee + T.K. A.

"Kristen is a wonderful Realtor. She recently helped Will Becker, and I find our first house. I knew months out that I wanted Kristen to be our Realtor. She started months in advance and gave us the great advice to get a feel for areas, but don't fall in love with anything because the Austin market turns over so fast. Kristen was helpful in walking us through figuring out what our \must haves\" were and found lots of properties that matched those. I know that may sound silly, but it was our first time looking for a house, and she brought up things that we wouldn't have considered right away. Kristen was knowledgeable about all of the areas in south Austin we were hunting in. We even got to see the house that we wanted before it was listed. When it was time put in an application, she was always available to answer all of my ridiculous questions about the paperwork. When we look to buy a house in a few years, I'm going back to Kristen!
