"I can't speak highly enough of my experience working with Stefan. Stefan provided valuable advice and guidance throughout the entire process and made a daunting undertaking manageable. He helped to set my expectations so that I was always prepared for what was coming next. Ultimately, he helped me reach my goals even as the market was rapidly cooling. I've had the pleasure of knowing Stefan for over 25 years and it brought me great comfort to know I was working with a friend. But I imagine all of his clients enjoy the feeling of working with a trusted friend, because that is the level of care and ethic of service that Stefan brings to his work."- Jennifer

"I'll cut right to the chase -- I can't imagine anyone better than Stefan! This was the first time we sold a house, and Stefan was understanding and professional, helping us decide the best list price and very useful tips on staging. He was in constant communication leading up to the house being listed officially, did an outstanding job marketing it and always brought in interested buyers. He did an outstanding job dealing with our eventual buyers, not only getting us the best price possible, but also shielding us from the ups and downs of the negotiations. He negotiated endlessly with the buyers to get us the best deal possible, thinking ahead to future problems that could be in store. The entire process moved so quickly, but Stefan was there the entire time to talk to us about what was happening and what our options were. Lastly, when we ran into issues with our security deposit at the end of the 7 day lease back, Stefan was a stabilizing force, helping us craft the best response to the buyer's actions and working tirelessly with their agent. He even made us whole when the other side could not see reason. We are so grateful we had him through this trying process. If anyone asks me whom they should enlist to sell their home, we both will immediately reply with: Stefan!"- Ali and Taylor

"Stefan is an absolute rockstar and made the stressful experience of preparing then selling a house as easy and enjoyable as I can possibly imagine. He was responsive and timely from the very first time I reached out to him and communicated very clearly about the timeline, milestones, and actions along the way. He helped us form a plan for listing the house and stuck to his commitments, adjusting as needed to external forces. He used comprehensive data to help guide us toward listing, set well-informed expectations, then proceeded to exceed them beyond anything we were anticipating. He was there for us throughout the entire process and made us feel like he cared as much as we did about our success. I can't imagine a better realtor and would use him again in a heartbeat."- John

"Stefan Benteler helped my wife and I relocate from North Carolina recently. He was very patient in showing us multiple homes, asked insightful questions, and gave us a great overview of this area. His research found us a great home, and he was expert at negotiating a great deal for us. We couldn't be happier."- Rick & Eileen

About Stefan

Stefan has always been a performing artist and an entrepreneur, creative and pragmatic. This has served him well as a REALTOR® because most transactions require a clever and strategic approach. He emphasizes the human element, understands the gravity of financial implications, and nurtures the emotional side of every deal. His innate ability to develop rapport with the other side gives his clients an edge during negotiations. He continuously adds value and positions his clients for success, whether they are buying, selling, or investing. He is patient, values relationships over transactions, and genuinely wants what’s best for his clients. Before real estate, Stefan spent over 20 years in the music business traveling worldwide as a drummer, production director, tour manager, live sound engineer, and educator, working with incredible people along the way. He’s played drums, recorded, and toured with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Godfather of Funk legend George Clinton and the Parliament-Funkadelic. He toured the U.S. and Europe with Austin, TX indie rock icon Ben Kweller, and mixed live sound in sold-out, open-air stadiums on Ed Sheeran’s record-breaking worldwide Divide tour. When Stefan is not working hard for his clients, you can catch him performing and recording with local bands, playing with his 2 rescue dogs, fostering dogs in need, volunteering at the Austin Animal Center, and spending quality time with his wife and two daughters. They enjoy all of Austin’s beer gardens, restaurants, parks, and vibrant music and art scene.
