"2025 is quite the market for home sellers and I could not have sold my home without Wafiq! I listed in March with the optimistic hope of selling by end of May at the latest. Wafiq helped me stage my home, shared referrals for some handyman work that needed to be done, priced it right, and hosted multiple open houses (some of which only had 1 viewing). With all his help, I was able to sell and move out at the end of April.
2025 is a very different housing market than when I was buying my house 5 years ago. Wafiq set all the right expectations and set me up for success. Thank you Wafiq.

"We have just recently had our house sold with Wafiq and he has done a stellar job! The current market was tough, however with Wafiq's help we went under contract under a month and got asking price! He guided us throughout not only the sale but also presale, making sure we had the house ready in the best conditions. He gave us recommendations on what fixes and updates were needed, provided contractor contacts, and also had a professional staging specialist come so the house was showing ready.
Wafiq is very responsive and always stays on top of all things. We never had any missed question or concern. Selling a home is a bittersweet life event and his support and smooth process gave us ease of mind and full trust. Thank you, Wafiq!

"Wafiq is the ideal realtor. He is personable, trustworthy, and a tireless advocate for clients. He was always accessible, responsive, and a shrewd negotiator. He was able to get us an offer at asking in a down market. While other listings were being taken off the market for lack of interest, he got the job done. I am glad I trusted Wafiq to sell my house." - Lucas E.

"I had the pleasure of working with Wafiq on my recent home purchase in Austin, and I truly could not have asked for a better real estate agent. From start to finish, he was incredibly thorough, highly analytical, and always prepared with data that gave me a clear understanding of the market and the specific transaction at hand.
What stood out most was his ability to listen and quickly understand exactly what I was looking for—after only a couple of visits, he had already dialed in on my priorities. He never pushed me to make a decision I wasn’t comfortable with, but instead provided thoughtful, honest perspectives that helped guide me through every step of the process.
His patience, deep knowledge of the Austin market, and ability to present important insights made me feel confident and supported the entire way through. He always gave me his candid opinion, which I greatly valued, and it was clear he had my best interests in mind at all times.
Thanks to his professionalism and guidance, the transaction went smoothly, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I will absolutely be working with Wafiq again for future transactions in Austin and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a top-notch agent.
" - Ramie R.

"Wafiq did a great job. First, he listened carefully to our goals related to the sale of the house, including sale price, timing, and other criteria. He then explained details of the Austin market based on his personal experience, the market in general, and how the home would be marketed. Second, he explained, based on all that, what would be the best and also the second-best outcomes. Compared to my experience with other realtors, Wafiq went over and beyond, such as managing final cleaning, yard care, and touch-up items the new owner required. He was also able to show that issues the new owner thought were serious, or a deal-killer, were in fact non-issues. Mainly though I was impressed by Wafiq’s honesty and openness. I’m happy to report that our home sold quickly and the sale price was within our price range." - David M.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq did a great job helping me sell my condo in South Austin. He was always easy to reach, kept me in the loop, and made the whole process way less stressful than I expected. You can tell he really knows what he's doing and cares about getting the best outcome. I'd definitely work with him again." - Rashid A.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq is an absolute pleasure to work with. I have both bought and sold a home with his help. I won’t go anywhere else. He has even advised me to walk away from fishy deals when he could have said nothing and earned a quick commission. Rather he stuck with me for months and was generous with his time as we carefully analyzed the market and toured listings. He cares about you, your goals, getting you a good deal, your comfort, and your happiness far above earning a commission (which he EARNS with his hard work and advice throughout the process). I would not buy or sell a house without him acting as my agent. If I could give more than 5 stars I would." - David E.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq was recommended to us by a friend. We found Wafiq extremely responsive and willing to go the extra mile. From finding a home for our piano (and other things we didn't need), to advocating for our needs, and all around just being a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend." - Ricki R.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq is amazing! After our house sat on the market for 6 months with little interest and infrequent communication from our previous realtor, we contacted Wafiq.The difference was night and day! He immediately identified issues with the home, obtained repair quotes, and developed a listing plan that got our house into selling shape. Wafiq communicated with us every step of the way, ensuring we understood our options. Within 30 days, we had an offer! He made the closing process smooth and stress-free.
Wafiq is hard-working, trustworthy, and always puts your needs first. He made us feel comfortable about leaving our home vacant and took care of it as if it were his own. He went above and beyond! We highly recommend Wafiq to anyone who needs to buy or sell a home in the Austin area!
" - Blayne H.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq was fantastic to work with! He listened to our needs and provided excellent advice. His many connections made it easier for us to get in touch with the right people. I highly recommend Wafiq to be your agent. Thank you, Wafiq!" - Anas J.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We had a fantastic experience working with Wafiq as our realtor. Not only did he help us sell our home in record time and for the price we wanted, but he also guided us in finding our new home, which we absolutely love. His market knowledge and dedication to a seamless client experience were clear every step of the way. Wafiq’s attention to detail and commitment to our needs made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell – he truly exceeded our expectations!" - Adam C.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq was awesome to work with and helped throughout the process of buying a second home. His knowledge and expertise in the Austin area is great. Job well done and keep up the good work!" - Mohammed A.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq offered invaluable expertise and assistance when I bought a new home. He exhibited patience and professionalism when it took nearly a year for me to have my ducks in a row enough to start looking at houses. Then, my options were all over the place: acreage no house, acreage with house, existing homes in established neighborhoods, new construction. He was knowledgeable about all towns and property types I threw at him, and he never lost patience while I explored every option. Once I decided on a neighborhood, he was with me every step as I looked at pre-owned and newly constructed homes. Then he took the lead in liaising with the builder. I would tell him I was about to call them about a few things, he would say, no that's my job. He was with me through every walk-through and meeting, pointing out things I would never have come up with on my own. To say he is a trusted advisor is an understatement. I can't recommend Wafiq enough. He has heart, strength, and expertise. I can't imagine purchasing or selling a home without him. He was awesome to work with." - PK L.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq was awesome to work with, I worked with Wafiq for the last year. It took us long to find our dream home. During this time Wafiq was patiently helping us providing us with different options till we finally found it. During the closing process, he took care of the details and made the process easy and smooth with the lowest level of stress. Always available for questions and clarification. Thank you Wafiq for partnering with us during this time." - Mamoun

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Our experience with Wafiq was amazing. He is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and kind, and helped us greatly in the process of buying our home. He was always quick to respond to our questions, and answer each and every question we asked, very thoroughly. Wafiq provides a really balanced approach and awesome advice. I would work with him any day and will recommend him to anyone I know in the market. He's the best!" - Rayhm A.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"On a scale of 1 to 5, our experience with Wafiq was a 10. As first time home buyers in Austin, Wafiq was an indispensable source of insightful market information and resources. But most of all, he proved to be a trusted counselor as he guided us through the entirety of the search, offer and closing process. As we worked through the process, Wafiq was always available to answer questions, track down information and engage in detailed discussions of any issue no matter how minor. He always made time for us no matter what other irons he had in the fire and our conversations were honest and straight forward. He is always tactful and professional while, at the same time, providing honest, realistic, unvarnished advice. It was a pleasure to work with Wafiq and this was, by far, the best experience we have ever had regarding a real estate transaction." - Kenneth + Patricia T.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our agent Wafiq Alalawi for helping and assisting us in our sale and search of our lots. He was very professional and willing to help and reply to us with any questions or concerns we had, always in a timely manner. Wafiq always went beyond with what you normally expect from an agent. We were extremely pleased with his assistance and personal attention to us. Kudos and keep up the great work!!!" - Mariza + Gus

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"My family and I have used Wafiq's professional expertise in real estate for several home sales and purchases for us and our adult children! He was excellent in searching, explaining, selling and negotiating every deal! Even after each closing, Wafiq was there to answer any question we had! When purchases were out of state, Wafiq referred us to a great professional agent in that area. I highly recommend him for all your Real Estate needs! Thank you Wafiq!" - Pamela S.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"The housing market was changing quickly when I put my house on the market and Wafiq gave me good advice every step of the way, even though I didn't always listen to him. He always explained his rationale and showed data to support what he was saying. When the market started to dip he suggested I do some renovations and that made a huge difference in my showings and eventually made my sale. He was very supportive and stayed in contact with me even when he would go out of town. I would definitely go with him again if I chose to buy or sell in Austin once more. I would also recommend him to anyone who may have a unique situation because thanks to Wafiq I was able to update, renovate and then sell my house from El Paso, Texas. A big thank you goes to Compass for having such a great guy on your team!!" - Lesley J.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
" Wafiq did a wonderful job working with us on a quick closing. We have worked with Wafiq on two other properties and done an exceptional job. He was always in contact with us throughout the process. Awesome job. Excellent realtor. I would recommend him to anyone looking for properties. " - David

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We worked with Wafiq Alalawi to sell our home. Predictably we hit a few bumps, especially with the market being what it is now, & Wafiq helped us navigate those bumps smoothly. He was reliable, communicative, & enthusiastic. We truly appreciated all his help." - Katherine C.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq Alalawi with Compass is an amazing realtor. As my husband and I were first time home buyers in a very new city, we needed guidance and help during our home buying/search process. We interviewed Wafiq and during our initial phone call we knew he's the one we would want to work with as he had a wealth of information to share with us about the whole home buying process. He took time to understand our requirements and what we were looking for in our first home and provided suggestions and ideas to think wisely as needed. He not only was on top of everything ( emails, communication, home tours etc), he in fact went above and beyond to make sure we made the right decisions, but also helped us navigate through the bumpy road we ran into with our builders. We are very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Wafiq and will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have someone who actually is invested in your journey and is excited as you are for your home. So, thank you very much!!!" - Afreen S.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"My experience with Wafiq while searching for a home was long and had many unsuccessful bids. In such a turbulent time for first-time home ownership, it can be downright defeating and overwhelming. With all these variables, it is important to choose the correct real estate agent. In regards to my case, Wafiq was 100% the right agent for me. I can say after working with Wafiq I learned so much about real estate. I would recommend to any of my friends or colleagues that need a real estate agent to use Wafiq. He is professional, pleasant, easy to communicate with, and an extremely knowledgeable person who will go the extra step to ensure his clients are comfortable. He truly lives up to his slogan, "Don't Freak, Call Wafiq."" - Taylor H.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We had the pleasure of meeting Wafiq back in 2019. We were fortunate to have been introduced by a friend who Wafiq helped with his home purchase in Austin as well. We were looking to relocate from NJ, and Wafiq went above and beyond to show us homes and take virtual tours of properties while we were still in NJ. Once we decided upon a location, we ended up having to build, which was an entirely new experience to us. Wafiq was most helpful with any questions we had for him or for the builder. He was quick to respond to all of our emails. His guidance throughout the entire process helped us be able to build a home we truly love and plan to stay in for a long, long time. Wafiq is reliable, dependable, and very professional. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone to represent them as their realtor. " - Roger L.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq is an Amazing person. My wife and I are very fortunate to have had the opportunity of being represented by Wafiq. We wish there were more people like him in this world we live in. It is always a true blessing when good people happen to share their goodness in our lives. Thank you Wafiq and thank you, Yvette. Please keep up the fantastic work that you do." - Ferdinand

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"My wife Rose and I feel so blessed and fortunate that Wafiq helped us every step of the way with our home purchase in Cedar Park. He was so very patient, understanding, knowledgeable, super nice and most of all he made us feel comfortable and confident all throughout the process. Wafiq is a Superhuman. He is Amazing, Fantastic, Incredible and Awesome. He has gained our trust and admiration. He’s that good. Thank you very much Wafiq. We appreciate you. Best wishes and much success to you." - Ferdinand + Rose A.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Working with Wafiq was very efficient and hassle-free. He knows a lot about the market and tricks to winning a bid. It only took me three attempts, which I'm sure others would be very jealous of. If I'm ever in the market again, I'll be hoping Wafiq is still available." - Aaron H.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We had Wafiq as our Buyer's agent while purchasing our first home in Austin and we could not have wished for a better Agent, he is the BEST! He is very professional and knowledgeable about Austin real-estate market, he answered all our questions (and we had plenty as first-time homebuyers in the US), we always felt his support with our decisions and his honest feedback when we needed it. Wafiq is patient and courteous; he took the time to listen carefully to our needs and expectations. Besides, he was always approachable, and we never felt pushed or pulled which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend him for any homebuyer in Austin!" - Abla + Arab

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We appreciate Wafiq’s excellent representation and perfect execution in our most recent transaction. Wafiq is an experienced agent not only because of his real estate knowledge but also of his tremendous operational skills, and more importantly his sincere care for the other. In particular, we are impressed with his ability of being able to pick up que that can be easily missed by the other, his ability to anticipate challenges, and appropriately manage human reaction before it spirals down to a potential issue. We also personally observe how he leads in training your new team member throughout this busy weekend. Not all realty teams are the same. Through Wafiq we have witnessed the world-class team that Compass has assembled. You have done a great job." - Ted

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Our Realtor was Wafiq Alalawi. Wafiq was always very professional and personable, was always available and willing to answer any questions we had, and always treated us as if we were family. We moved from out of state but Wafiq was always there to guide, teach and help us to navigate and understand the Texas real estate buyers market. We would be happy to refer Wafiq Alalawi to any of our friends and family. In fact, our children are each buying homes, here in Texas, with the assistance of Wafiq." - Laura S.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq is the best. Period." - Jordan L.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with our realtor, Wafiq, who expertly guided us through the process of purchasing a new home during an unprecedented time in Austin real estate. He was extremely patient and sensitive to our needs and wants. His knowledge of the market is vast and helped us be competitive and successful bidders at the peak of the market craziness.
Wafiq also represented us as sellers. Once again his keen vision for where things were headed put us in a fantastic position to ask for and get top dollar for our property. We sold our house fast with practically no investment on our part, and he removed the stress of preparing for showings by explaining various strategies we could take advantage of as sellers. Selling our home was a breeze!!
We wholeheartedly recommend Wafiq to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
" - Valerie + Daniel

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq was the best! He was very informative, knowledgeable, and supportive. As first-time home buyers, we never felt like we were being taken advantage of. We have nothing but good things to say about Wafiq." - Taylor + Nyssa

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"I am very satisfied with the work and the professionalism of Mr. W. Alalawi. I will be grateful to him for having supported my young son. If in the future, I had to do a real estate project again, it would be Mr. W. Alalawi for sure. I would gladly recommend it to my compatriots, should the opportunity arise. Many thanks to this gentleman." - Mr. Aimouch/b>

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq is a great person to work with. He was very professional throughout the home buying process. He would always try to understand our needs and try to help us in the best possible way. I would definitely recommend Wafiq to my friends. " - Adeel A.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq is very knowledgeable about the real estate market, and he was helpful in selling our house. He is responsive and professional. His commitment and hard work are evident at every step of the process, always answers our questions with no delay." - Ahmed I. + Marwa J.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"The short of it is I wouldn't have purchased a property in Austin if it wasn't for Wafiq. He is the perfect combination of knowledge, friendly approach, going above and beyond, and general property advice as well. I would strongly recommend him to anyone considering making a property purchase. " - Moayed A.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq has been amazing. Our past experience with real estate agents has turned us off to the home buying/selling process. We felt that the agents rarely added much value beyond what we could have done on our own and charged a great deal of commission on top of it. Wafiq has changed all that. We were making a cross-country move, which was very logistically challenging between the virtual open houses, dealing with inspections, follow-ups, financing, title issues, etc. Wafiq was on top of all of it and took care of problems I didn't even know we had. He was always available and reliable, even putting together an offer while on vacation! I can't imagine how much more stressful the whole process would have been (or even if we would have found a place at all) without someone like Wafiq on our team." - Leon A.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq was amazing! Not only has he been quick and responsive, but he was extremely thoughtful about his availability even when he was out of town. Both he and Matt were critically important for the final steps of our housing purchase. Wafiq was extremely thorough in explaining the home buying process, especially for a first-time buyer. He was patient with explaining and clarifying things and simplified the process so that it was clear and easy to understand. All in all, I plan to refer Wafiq to friends who plan to purchase in the area as well. " - Sheila X.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"With apologies to all my other friends who are Realtors, I can honestly say that we will never call anyone but Wafiq from now on as he has ruined us for everyone else. He has helped us with both a home purchase and a home sale, and I don't have enough good things to say about him. Wafiq is extremely knowledgeable about the Austin market and works tirelessly on behalf of his clients. He is extremely responsive and will quickly find the answer to any possible question. He is the best communicator, and you will never have to wonder what is going on with your listing because he will keep you updated at every step. We feel extremely lucky to have met Wafiq and consider him as not just our realtor but our friend. You can't go wrong with Wafiq!" - Susanna K.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq Alalawi was a PRICELESS component in our search for raw land in the area! Through all the potential issues that undoubtedly arise in this competitive market, I never worried about any of it. Wafiq is a tireless follow-up and has a natural way of simplifying each step. He is an excellent communicator and always gives a recap of the plan. He's been recommended to friends, and they are ALL happy with the service!" - Jamey J.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq is the most honest and hard-working person I ever met. He's very friendly, and I can't imagine my experience with someone else. Wafiq went above and beyond to make my deal happen in this type of market." - Sarmad A.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"I was a first time home buyer. Wafiq walked me through what to expect from the loan process, the Austin housing market, the offer process, and the closing process. He was incredibly patient and responsive to all my questions. 12/10 would recommend and will continue to work with for any future real estate needs as well." - Nadia C.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq was a pleasure to work with and was one of the most responsive and detailed Realtors I've worked with over various transactions. He is highly personable and goes above and beyond to make sure that as the buyer, you are comfortable but also in the loop at every turn. I highly recommend working with Wafiq if you are looking to buy in the Austin area." - David M.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Best. Realtor. Ever. I worked with Wafiq Alalawi over the course of about nine months. He had my back every step of the way. Incredibly patient, knowledgable, and went above and beyond in every instance to make sure I was not only happy but being smart/protected from a real estate perspective. I couldn't recommend him enough, and 110% will work with him again anytime I have similar needs in the future. Truly one of the best out there, super genuine, real, and hardworking man!" - Arjun K.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Wafiq was great and incredibly knowledgeable about the local Austin market. He seamlessly helped us navigate a very complicated and drawn-out closing process and was always available for questions and guidance. We can’t say enough great things about Wafiq and highly recommend his expertise." - Tammy W.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Our experience with Wafiq Alalawi has been extremely satisfactory. He makes the process of buying a house something enjoyable rather than a difficult, incomprehensible, and opaque process. We are from Spain, and we knew nothing about the Real Estate market in Austin. He guided us throughout the entire purchase, giving us the best possible advice on where and how to make our offers, with excellent negotiation skills to get the best deal and being there to help us make the right decision. We definitely recommend Wafiq as your Realtor for your next house" - Fernando S.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Recently, I was told I would need to relocate to Austin for my job. Like any responsible human being, I began to search online for apartments and houses. I looked at a few websites, many of which required me to submit my information to view the real estate. This was where I first encountered Wafiq. He sent me a very personal email offering his help and expertise, which I initially disregarded since I knew my company would be setting me up with an agency. Fast forward a few months (and a few more check-in emails from Wafiq), and my company emailed over the company they selected to help with the relocation. I was assigned to someone standard and received his generic email with his picture. As I looked at the picture in the top right-hand corner, something looked familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Eventually, I went back into my email and opened an email from Wafiq and realized what looked so familiar; they worked at the same company. I reached out to the agency asked if I could have Wafiq, as he was persistent, professional, honest, and I would feel more comfortable working with him. They obliged. This was the best decision I could have made.
I took two trips to Austin to look at places; first were mainly houses to buy, second were apartments to rent. Wafiq picked me up at the hotel right on time and where he had our schedule laid out, and we began our journey around the city and surrounding suburbs. He had a vast knowledge of each of his houses, some of which weren't his primary listings. As an outsider who had never been to Austin before, he also gave me the skinny on the city, traffic, best food spots - you name it. He was very upfront and honest, which I was absolutely not expecting when looking for a house. At no point did I feel pressured or told how many people want this house, it was good-hearted information and feedback. Unfortunately, I did not find anything that wowed me, so I left empty-handed.
The second trip was similar, Wafiq picking me up at my hotel to chauffeur me around the city to different apartment complexes. In between locations, we would chat, and he would educate me on Austin facts and hot spots, many of which I have visited since my 4 months here. When we would arrive to the complexes, he would take the initiative, ask the questions I wasn't aware of, and acted as if it were him that was looking to rent that spot, which I found very genuine. After a few duds, we came to our last spot of the day, which I ended up renting. All and all, I couldn't have found a better person to show me houses, apartments, and the city than Wafiq. He understood what I was looking for, did the research, then found great spots to show me in my price range.
If you are looking for a professional, well versed, honest, and laid back Realtor, there are none better than Wafiq. He still checks in on me from time to time, and if I ever do decide to buy in Austin, it will 100% be from Wafiq. PS - He will even go to a house and FaceTime you the lot if you are not able to get in the area, which goes above and beyond any standards that I expected.
" - Eric B.

"Mr. Alalawi is very professional, attentive to detail, and very easy to work with. Working with him was great. I will definitely recommend Mr. Alalawi because he works VERY hard for his clients. He did a great job to make me complete my transaction. He was always available to answer my and my family questions and helped us (my Wife, Children, and I) feel well informed throughout the buying process. He was a joy to and professional to work with. Again I would highly recommend Wafiq Alalawi to anyone. Thank you so much for the fantastic service we received from Wafiq." - Ahmed J.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Working with Wafiq was such a joy! He is professional and thorough! He answered all our questions and walked us through the whole transaction with ease! We appreciate him so much! THANK YOU Wafiq and Compass for all your help in buying our son's first home! We Highly recommend Wafiq and Compass!" - Pamela S.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"The experience we had with Wafiq could not have been better. From the start of the process to finish the process, it went so smooth. My whole experience with Wafiq was great. I will continue to use Wafiq and his assistant Katie for everything related to real estate. I will be spreading Compass' name to my friends and clients. Thanks for everything." - Jereme L.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"We would highly recommend Wafiq. He is that agent that goes above and beyond to help find your dream home. He showed us around for a year and helped us every step of the way with our transition from moving from CA to Austin! He really puts the work in and truly cares. And it helps that he's cool to hang out with throughout the process too! We are looking forward to our next transaction with Wafiq. Wafiq rocks!!!" - Ed + Jenny

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"This is the fourth major purchase I've made with a Real estate agent and by far the best agent I've worked with. Wafiq was always on task. I never felt like I was waiting for him to get to us. He also kept me on task with what I was needing to do and how to do it in the correct order. We bought some land in the country and it was by far the most difficult purchase to date and I'm glad to have had Wafiq there to help us." - Dennis W.

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"As first-time home buyers, Wafiq was incredibly helpful! He explained every step of the process and repeated it often, so we always knew what was coming next. He recommended and coached us on how to write a personal letter to the seller, which ultimately led to our offer being chosen. He helped us negotiate the price down on our home purchase when everyone else in the market was offering over asking price. He always picked up the phone when we called and was quick to respond to any emails or texts, regardless of the time of day, or whether he was in the middle of a workout at Camp Gladiator. He made us feel important to him, not just because of making a sale, but because he was also looking out for our best interest in the largest investment of our lives to-date. He calls it like he sees it and will let you know if certain homes are not a good purchase. Any questions we had, he would either answer on the spot or find the answer immediately. Despite his busy schedule, he always made time for us and even attended inspections on our behalf, when we were unable to make it. The list goes on, but the best part about home buying with Wafiq was that he made it fun and became a great friend along the way. Thank you Wafiq!" - Beau + Sarah B.

On a personal level, Wafiq is warm and friendly. Overall, a great and seamless experience working with him!" - Katie P.

"Wafiq was a one of a kind realtor from start to finish for me. I first met him over a year ago and then had to take an abrupt break for 6 months, but he didn't pressure me over that time at all so I went right back to him after the break. He is very professional but also down to earth and was helpful at every step of the way. If there was something that needed to be questioned or researched he would tell me about it and would be prepared with price sheets, property information, and everything in between for every property showing. It would definitely recommend for anyone that is interested in looking for property, from the novice first timers like me to the seasoned investor. Wafiq has a great personality, the confidence to tell you if something isn't right, the persistence to get every detail worked to accommodate your needs, and the knowledge to understand the competitive market." - Jonathan P.

"I wanted to list my home as I was moving to Las Vegas and did not know where to start, so I called back the people that sold me the home because they were so nice. I was very impressed with the presentation and preparedness that they came and walked me through the process. The best part is that there was a team of people, not just one, so whenever I had questions someone was there to help." - Anonymous

"Buying a home is not an easy task, and for most, can be very challenging. Wafiq taught me a lot on what to look for in a home. Sometimes you want to go with the first few houses you see, Wafiq's interests, however, aligns purely on what is best for his clients. He was nothing but patient with me every time I called him for questions at any given time. From the beginning, Wafiq showed nothing but professionalism. He made what most people see as a very tough process, a very smooth one. He showed me every different type of market and homes Austin, TX has to offer and at the end, with Wafiq's wisdom, I found a home that I can now call mine. His service was superb and if anyone is looking for a genuine realtor whose interests lies purely on what is best for their client-Wafiq is your go-to realtor. Anyone in the market for a new home, give Wafiq a call, he's one of the most knowledgeable people I have met that knows the ins and outs when it comes to real estate! Very grateful to have met him and have him make my dreams come true!" - Jenny A.
