"My family and I had such an amazing experience with Olivia as our realtor. I reached out to Olivia after my mother passed away, and as you can probably imagine, selling your parent's home and dealing with estate matters is both emotionally taxing and tedious. From the beginning, Olivia was on top of everything, and very cognizant of the difficulties navigating this process for my siblings and I. She thoroughly assessed the house, made a plan with us to update it and get it to a place where it would be a desirable house when it hit the market. She went out of her way to help us handle all of the renovations, and it was such a relief to trust in her knowledge of what buyers want, and her ideas for fixtures, paint, tile, etc. We spent almost two months preparing the house, and listed it at the end of Sept 2023. As everyone knows, this is a slow and tough market. We listed it 7.5% higher than the price we originally discussed, and had our first offer and were under contract in 10 days. List to close was 38 days, and we went ahead with Olivia's recommendation for a pre-inspection, which helped us address smalls things and made negotiating a breeze. I would enthusiastically recommend Oliva to anyone in the market to buy, or sell. It is always a pleasure to watch someone who is excellent at what they do work. I plan on reaching out to her for any future needs. " - Pace Davis, Seller

"I truly cannot imagine finding a more incredible realtor than Olivia. She took me through the entire process- including finding my dream home for me!- and she explained everything so clearly and made everything as simple as possible. She got the price down on the home I was buying beyond expectations and was on top of everything that came up every step of the way. She’s charming, responsive, ultra knowledgeable about all things real estate and loan related, and so fun to work with! Honestly, she made the whole experience a pleasure, with so little stress. I would shout it from my new rooftop if I could, but hopefully more people will hear it this way- Olivia is the absolute best!!! " - A. Stewart, Buyer

★★★★★
"Olivia is kind, caring, and determined to help. But those qualities don't take away from the fact that she is also tenacious, voracious, and a top-notch negotiating bada$$. She fights for her clients. She sticks up for what's morally right/fair. And she does it all with warmth and a smile. She helped me get my house sold in a down market: every step of the way to prep, she was open and honest about everything we could do to make the home salable. SHE WAS RIGHT about EVERYTHING. The house was on the market for less than a week. When the average listing was on the market for 75+ days, you know that she is not only good at what she does, she is in the best of The Best. " - Anna S.

"I cannot recommend Olivia highly enough -- do yourself a favor and ask to work with her! My partner and I were new to the home buying process and had a few experiences with other realtors and agents that left us feeling hustled and unheard. From the first meeting, Olivia was different. She showed us through her actions that her priorities are to listen to her clients and advocate fiercely for them to meet their goals. She goes above and beyond to work with clients. As a first time homebuyer, I got a lot of advice from all corners, including from people who have been through the home buying process many times. When I would explain the research, negotiation, and follow-up that Olivia did for us, jaws dropped. I'm telling you, she is committed! If Mary Poppins were a realtor, she might come in a distant second. She stewarded us through to closing and beyond. We love our new home. A few months ago we weren't sure we could even afford to buy any house in Austin, let alone one we were excited to call home. Olivia is communicative, proactive, savvy to the market, a calculated negotiator, and the perfect blend of realistic and optimistic that can make dreams come true. Call her!" - Eva S.

"Working with Olivia was fantastic! From meeting her clients and learning what is important to them to the sweet personal touch she adds to everything, she makes you feel like her priority client. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She follows up on things or little details and answers all emails, calls, or texts promptly. She took the time to explain everything throughout the process and helped get all paperwork, calls, and appointments done and ready. Her professional opinion was always honest, allowing me to make better-informed decisions. When the time came to make an offer, I always felt she had my back and best interest as her client. After our offer was accepted, she kept those negotiations going and got us an excellent deal, our money's worth, and then some! I would recommend her and would work with her again!" - Adrianna and Guido

★★★★★
"We knew the Austin area was competitive, but Olivia reassured us it would be possible to find our new home in a price range we could afford. Within the first week of working with Olivia, we found an amazing house and won our very FIRST offer with her. She knows exactly what it takes to have a competitive advantage and guides her clients well. Working with the right Realtor, one who will work hard for you and with you, makes ALL the difference. Olivia will fight for and protect her clients and truly has their best interest at heart. She’s genuine - she will tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. She manages all pieces of a real estate transaction well and she negotiates extremely effectively. She is definitely someone you want on your team! Her great list of resources is also a bonus - she knows some amazing, experienced people in the business. As first-time homebuyers, we learned so much from Olivia. She was readily available to answer any questions and help walk us through the whole process. She cares deeply, is a joy to be around, and gets super creative with any obstacles thrown your way. Connect with Olivia, you won’t regret it!" -Audrey M and Aslan H

"Olivia was an incredible ride or die guide for me, a first time home buyer in the midst of the madness that was the Austin pandemic market. She stayed calm and optimistic throughout difficult situations with sellers and negotiated a significant price reduction despite market conditions. She made a stressful process fun!" - Kira

★★★★★
"Olivia was just a delight to work with, making me feel like a priority. She helped me find the perfect home AND she gave me wise consultation on bidding and encouraged me to bid only what was necessary based on her research. After getting me a killer deal, she then was stellar with negotiations! We had some issues with our lender and she had our backs the entire time, helping speed up processing. Shes so knowledgeable in the field as a homeowner/fixer upper herself she spots unique things and things to watch out for about the houses right away. She’s great at her job and seems to really enjoy it! Which always makes it more fun. 10/10 recommend!" - Suzanne

★★★★★
"Olivia is amazing at what she does. She was always responsive and involved from the moment we first spoke, to the moment we closed, and beyond. She is genuinely nice, but a powerhouse negotiator when needed, and goes above and beyond what is required of her. I got a great home at below-market price, and we beat out everyone else who was interested in it. Olivia, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart." - Karla

★★★★★
"Olivia is the best realtor I’ve ever worked with. She catered to my needs as I was going in the process of looking for a home DURING AN ICE STORM?! I had no methods of transportation as I flew in from Illinois. She had an excel spreadsheet with all homes that met my criteria, took me around and finally found the home I fell in love with. I will definitely be using her again and if you’re looking for a home, I’d recommend you do the same. Thank you, Olivia, for finding our family the perfect home." - Mike M.

★★★★★
"Olivia was fantastic! She zeroed in on our needs and was right there with us every step of the way. She was super responsive, only steered us toward looking at places that were a good fit for us, and when we found our house she closed the deal like a ninja (and even saved us a bunch of money in the process!)." - Nadine and Andy

★★★★★
"Olivia took every call and question we had and did it with a personal touch that made us feel like our preferences were truly being honored. In a competitive market, Olivia helped us stand out, and we wouldn’t be here dreaming happily along without Olivia’s attention and care in finding such an incredible spot. We highly recommend Olivia!" - Bonnie and David

★★★★★
"I couldn't have imagined a better experience with a Realtor! Olivia was amazing, and very good about responding quickly. I felt very comfortable asking her any and all questions about the process. She was super friendly and fun, and listened to our concerns and wish lists patiently, and her skills enabled us to beat out other interested parties to get us a perfect home!" - Dante P.

★★★★★
"It’s been fun working with Olivia. She was very knowledgeable and professional, was on top of her game whenever we needed questions answered, and we closed on the house on time! Whenever we are worried about something she assured us with facts and her fun personality that everything would be okay. She went above and beyond to introduce us to someone great who can work on the house floors as soon as we’re ready to settle in! I would recommend her 10/10 to anybody!"- Gus and Briana

★★★★★
"I am so lucky to have met Olivia in the home buying process. I recently moved to ATX from Boston, and moving states while buying a home is definitely a monumental task. At no point in time did I ever feel alone or abandoned during the transaction. Olivia played a foundational role in researching my requirements and guiding me through the process of searching homes, drafting offers, negotiating with the seller parties, organizing inspections, working with my lender, guiding me with the seller parties and a lot more. In addition, Olivia possesses a plethora of information that is very useful especially for a new home buyer like me. She is a delight to work with and believe me when I say this, Olivia is an amazing realtor and I look forward to partnering with her on more future investments."- Vishal
