Austin’s Client Testimonials
Adam DeMass
“My wife and I just moved into our first house and we really enjoyed getting to work with Austin. He was professional, understanding, and offered good advice, which we especially appreciated as first time buyers. Austin walked us through all the steps, made sure we got the information we needed, and really made the whole process feel seamless. We are grateful for his help and definitely recommend working with Austin as your realtor! He will go above and beyond to help you find the perfect home.”
Quinn Yeargain
“Working with Austin was truly fantastic. I met him at a showing months before I was fully prepared to search for a house and was struck at the time by his honesty and straightforwardness. In working with him as an agent, he was incredibly responsive, deeply knowledgeable about the area, and always available. The thing I appreciated most was his insight into the houses themselves. Given his experience building houses, viewing a house with him was an amazing experience. He was immediately able to point out features of a house (good and bad) and assess what would need to be fixed, how much it would cost, etc. After closing, he connected me with several contractors to do work in the house. I can't recommend him highly enough, and will be recommending him to my friends and colleagues.”
Shianne Dilday
“We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From day one, Austin was patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Communication was always quick and clear, and he handled every detail with care. What could have been a stressful process actually felt organized and manageable because we knew we were in good hands. We’re so grateful for his hard work and would absolutely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home!”
Michael Wood
"The experience was incredible. We worked together extremely successfully! We will keep his name available with our friends. The process was very smooth getting the purchase of this home. He is very knowledgeable of getting the customers what they’re looking for at an affordable price. Thank you again Austin. Keep this guy on board."
Pawan Khemraj
"Austin did an outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our condo. His expertise in the market's geographic area was very important in determining a purchase price and possible resale value. This was even more important for us given that we are out of state. Austin was also very involved in the closing process of our home being in regular contact with me and facilitating the process with the mortgage company. He was very thorough, detailed, professional and an excellent agent to work with."

Jean Strickler
"Austin was extremely professional and made my entire purchase process easy from start to finish. He then coordinated the sale of the home I was moving out of. He even paid to have it repainted and have new carpet put in, to help the place sell faster. I reimbursed him after we sold. He did so well for us I referred him to my friend to help sell her condo. Great young man to work with."

"Austin was great and easy to work with, I told him what I was looking for and he found it in the perfect location, he responds very quickly and gave me updates as soon as he was able to."
