Consider your search for a realtor over! Carmen is everything we could have hoped for and more. She is responsive, organized, and meticulous. We are first-time homebuyers and she patiently answered all of our questions. We were unsure that we would be able to find a house that checked all the boxes in this crazy market, but Carmen didnt give up until we found our dream home. She advocated for us every step of the building process. We will absolutely go to her in the future for all of our real estate needs.

My husband and I worked with Carmen Kim with Austin Home Girls Realty to purchase our first home last month, and she was phenomenal! Having never done this process before we had numerous questions, and she was very attentive and patient in explaining the process steps to us, sometimes over and over as needed.We didnt realize just how competitive the market is currently in Austin, TX, and it made us even more grateful to have her guiding us and advocating for us. She was creative and helped us submit the strongest offers we could, and we had an offer accepted quickly! Seeing everyone around us struggle so much to get a house has really made us appreciate her efforts that much more.Carmen is extremely intelligent and incredible at her job, and she is very thoughtful and cares greatly for her clients. Her goal is to do what is right for you, not to make a quick buck. She is gentle and not pushy with her clients, yet aggressive when it comes to advocating for them. She works extremely hard to ensure that her clients needs are met, and it really makes the home buying process much easier and less stressful for the buyer. I highly recommend working with Carmen to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

We worked with Carmen as our realtor when looking for a rental house. We only had 3 weeks to find a home and Carmen delivered. She was so hands on and such a pleasure to work with. We love our new home & are super thankful for Carmen’s help.

I would give her 0 stars if google would let me. I suppose she’d be great if you weren’t a single mom, but she dismissed me and my son. She told me that it would be highly unlikely I’d find anything. So unless you’re planning on making her pockets bigger, she’s not interested in helping anyone. All she cares about is how much money she can get. Horrible interactions.

We had a great experience working with Reinae, mostly from afar. From the beginning, Reinae listened to our needs and wants very carefully & understood the overall vibe & character we were looking for. As a queer interracial couple, it was very important to us that we find a neighborhood in which we felt very comfortable. Reinae really helped with this especially since we didnt know Austin that well. Her assessment was on point and we couldnt be more thrilled with the home we purchased - it ticked all the boxes & more. There were a few snags in the process and a nightmare of dealing with the sellers side, but ultimately Reinae made things right and more than redeemed the situation. She continues to be a resource to us as we do some work to the house to make it ours. She was always easy to reach & very responsive & professional in her dealings with us. Would work with her again and highly recommend her & her team.

I have bought and sold homes a number of times and Reinae is the best broker I have ever had. She is always on top of things, even in the crazy-hot real estate in Austin right now. She is both efficient and kind, and always had time to deal with my questions and worries. I wish I had her head for details! I would give her more stars if I could.

The best decision my wife and I made when we had to sell our house in East Austin was to hire Nikki Baird. She completely understood where we were coming from and worked tirelessly to make our experience effortless. Her knowledge of the market and attention to detail helped us successfully reach our goals. Nikki took care of all the negotiations and details that allowed us to manage this transaction form out of state. We have bought and sold a few houses over three states and Nikki provided us, by far, the best experience ever.

Carmen Kim is absolutely amazing and so easy to work with! I was only able to travel to Austin one weekend before my actual move date in order to find a place to live. She accommodated my schedule and went absolutely above and beyond, especially with answering my thousands of questions/concerns. She was extremely knowledgeable about neighborhoods and found beautiful apartment homes with everything I wanted and more! She constantly checked the availability of apartments and communicated with me constantly until I finally found my dream place. Without her, I definitely wouldn’t have found my amazing apartment! I will absolutely be asking her for help if/when I want to buy a home, or move from this location. If anyone needs a realtor, I highly recommended Carmen! She will make sure everything is perfect and help through every step of the process!

Deb and I had a great experience working with Nikki Baird. Thanks to her, relocating from San Francisco to Austin was basically seamless. Nikki knows Austin inside and out and her love of the city was contagious (in a good way). She was always available to answer questions, escort us through open houses, and has an excellent network of people who can do stuff. Highly recommended!

We worked with Carmen Kim at Austin Home Girls Realty and she was absolutely fantastic. She was patient, kind, knowledgeable, not pushy and super responsive. We would have no reservations about referring her to anyone.

My husband and I had such a great experience working with Carmen and the Austin Home Girls Realty team. Carmen made it clear from the start that she was there as a resource for us and would not pressure us into making any commitments or purchases that we were not comfortable with. This was made clear when we ended up having to get further inspections and eventually pull an offer on the first house we attempted to buy due to foundation issues. She encouraged us to do our due diligence, become knowledgeable on the problem and make the best choice for us even if it meant not buying the house. Eventually we did find a house we loved and she and the team were great resources throughout the entire process and always quick to respond to any questions we had. If youre looking for a team to help you find the perfect home in the Austin area, look no further!

Nikki Baird has been hands down the best realtor we’ve ever worked with! We’ve both sold and bought a house with her and both experiences were exceptional. Nikki had our best interest in mind, always made sure we were comfortable and informed, and helped us find a home that perfectly suited our young family. Nikki’s stayed in touch with us well after closings and we look forward to working with her again in the future!

Reinae helped us purchase a home recently and was a true advocate for us in every step of the process. We trusted her guidance, her knowledge and her honest opinion on how we should proceed with the whole transaction. She really went over and above what any other realtor has done for us in the past. I would highly highly recommend her --and I know my family will use her company in any future purchases we might have. She is, above all, a kind, caring and compassionate human being and it shows in her work with us. I am eternally grateful to her.

I would give Reinae ten stars if I could. She helped us find the home of our dreams, made the closing process smooth, and recommended wonderful vendors. She is kind, honest, competent, and gives excellent insight into the home buying process. Thank you so much.

All I can say is WOW! What an amazing team of people! They are always one step ahead and are very effective communicators! Hands down the best! We had a very special house with a challenging floor plan but Renae and her team found multiple buyers that loved the setup as much as we did. Great experience!

We cannot thank and recommend Reinae enough! We found Reinae on Yelp and based on all the fabulous reviews we reached out to her. She was quick to call us and find out what our plans were and what we were looking for in a house. We knew after that call that she was going to be perfect for us and we were not wrong. The Austin market is tough, with multiple offer situations and low inventory and we needed someone who could stand out from the crowd and make our dream of a new home happen. Reinae was amazing! She was always quickly available to show us any houses that we liked so that we were one of the first people to see them and once we found the one we knew we had to have she was efficient, knowledgeable, and on top of her game in making sure that our offer was successful. We had a few stresses along the way but Reinae was so knowledgeable that she made it all so easy for us. When it came to selling our house it was the same amazing experience, painless and successful! There is no way I would have wanted to work with anyone else! She has terrific experience and knowledge, a fabulous sense of knowing what you want, and an infectious laugh and gorgeous personality that she will quickly become your friend! We love Reinae and recommend that anyone who is looking to move should reach out to her! We are forever thankful to her and can’t be happier in our new home!

Top notch honest, professional, supportive, and friendly team to work with, especially for new home buyers trying to navigate the complexity of the real estate market in Austin!

My wife and I hired Reinae to sell our home and she was the best choice we ever made. She is super organized, responsive, professional, and extremely understanding with our needs. Personally, she is very friendly and easy to work with.Our experience with her was great! She was able to get us an offer in record time (less that 48 hours and even above asking price!), she patiently guided through all the steps of the process and lead us to a smooth closing.Also she has a great team of people working with her: from the painter who gave a fresh look to our home, to the stager who helped us preparing our house for the market, to the photographer who took great pictures of our home, to the title company.Reinae is by far the best realtor we ever worked with.

Reinae Kessler was such a joy to work with when we bought a home in Austin and then sold it three years later. Throughout the process, she was a strong advocate for us, explaining the finest details as well as general aspects of the home-buying process (and later the sale of a home). She took time to get to know us so that she could place us in a neighborhood that fit our needs and personalities. We appreciated her honesty and integrity throughout the process. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a great realtor, whether you have been the process many times or this is your first time around. She is the absolute best, and if I ever return to Central Texas to buy a home, I can guarantee she will be the first person I call for help. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a hard working, honest and thorough, and just great all-around realtor (and even better person).

We were referred to Reinae by some friends of ours and she helped us with both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our previous home. She was instrumental in helping us work through some issues we had after our inspection, she had a list of very dependable and affordable vendors for us to use to help us ensure we were making the right decision. She made herself available to meet with the inspector, the builder and any other vendors that were visiting the home which was super helpful because my husband and I didnt have to take off work all the time to be there. She is very straight forward and ethical in her approach. She is a strong negotiator and I feel that she has a great pulse on the Austin market. She was also very responsive, anytime I needed to get in touch with her she would call or text me back immediately. I I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to either purchase or sell a home.

Reinae is truly awesome. I have a couple of real estate agent friends but I didnt want to mix friends and business with my first home purchase because I didnt want to be influenced by their opinions. I found Reinae on yelp, and Im so glad I did! She was so supportive and informative without bringing an ounce of pressure into the equation. She gave me an education! She pointed out red flags and taught me how to notice them. She explained the whole home-buying process and got me in touch with other pros - mortgage broker, insurance agent, inspector, etc - all with whom I ended up being impressed. She set up an online system for notifying me of new listings as soon as they came on the market, and called me sometimes only minutes after they hit my inbox if she thought Id really like them to see if I wanted to check them out immediately. After showing me a bunch of homes and helping me identify what I was looking for, she got a really good feel for what I wanted and became a hawk-eye for me in the market. Beyond all that, Reinae was just so supportive and kind in the process. I had a family member end up in the hospital critically ill right before the closing, and she went above and beyond to make sure all my ducks were in a row and everything went smoothly since my mind was elsewhere. Not only do I now have a new home I love, I made a great friend in the process!

Reinae recently helped us sell our home in Austin. I can’t speak highly enough of her. She is responsive, professional, and puts her clients interests first at all times. She sold our house literally in no time and helped us understand all the steps of the process. There were some stressful moments along the way, but Reinae made it all seem easy and always inspired trust. We have dealt with our share of real estate agents by now, and she is hands down the best we’ve hired. She is organized, provides an accurate timeline of when things are due, etc, and is always available. If we were not leaving Austin and had to buy or sell a home here again, we would hire her again in a heartbeat.

We are beyond completely satisfied with Reinae and her teams service while marketing and selling our condo. To say that they went the extra mile is a vast understatement. But probably most important for us is our relationship with Reinae. Real estate agent, yes. But counselor, advisor, endlessly willing source of knowledge, real human being, a big yes also. Reinae ultimately maintained the highest level of integrity while making sure our interests and desires were being served at all times. We recommend Austin Home Girls Realty wholeheartedly without reservation!

Reinae was the best. We were returning to Austin after a stint in the Northeast. Reinae worked with us long distance at first, and then reserved a week to show houses when we were able to be in town. She was straight forward and responsive, lent her advice and knowledge, but also took our lead and supported what we wanted. She knows the city and surrounding areas, and her referrals for inspectors, contractors, etc are spot on. I will definitely turn to Reinae and Austin Home Girls Realty if we ever move again. Thanks for everything!

Reinae is the hardest working and most helpful realtor you can use. She has sold 2 homes for me. Both times, she knew the market, the buyers, and how to get the best price for them. Recently, she used a host of contacts in the community to get my second home ready to sell. When I sold this home, Reinae was extremely helpful in negotiating a great selling price. I would give her a 5+ if I could.

Reinae was fabulous to work with! Extremely patient, very knowledgeable - we are somewhat new to the Austin area, and her guidance was unparalleled. The home buying process was an incredibly smooth one, due in large part to her help and direction. Wed highly recommend Reinae for all RE services!

Reinae Kessler is a consumate professional, but more importantly she treats her clients like family. She walked my husband and I through both the sale of our home and purchase of our forever home in less than 60 days. In an emerging market in Austin, she guided us through the process, helping us achieve a sales price well over asking. Reinae is sensitive to working with disabled Veterans and addressed every single concern with a perfect combination of sensitivity and humor. Thanks to Reinaes knowledge and fierce protection of her clients, we were guided away from from potentially bad deals on both our sale and purchase. To a potential client of Reinae and Austin Homegirls Realty, I say with full confidence that you will never find a more intelligent, savvy, or client oriented professional. She handles multimillion dollar investors and first time home sellers/buyers with equal and unparalleled regard. Buying and selling at the same time is difficult during the best of times and Reinae made it happen during a time of great uncertainty. Reinae Kessler, literally made our dream come true and did it flawlessly.

I knew Reinae was a go getter from the first time we met. I liked her energy and decided I would give her the opportunity to sell my Clarksville/Austin investment property. My wife and I are both non practicing real estate agents so our expectations were high. Reinae did not disappoint us. She was always in touch with us providing feedback from showings. She also held numerous open houses to promote the property. Reinae sold the property in a down market and got us a great return on our investment at over $300 per square foot! She then helped us purchase our new residence and we just closed on it this week. She was just as diligent in the buying process as she was selling. She negotiated and was able to get us a great value, well under appraised value. Reinae is a great realtor and will fight for our needs whether buying or selling. Her dedication to us was always evident. She knows the market and I cant say enough about her abilities and her knowledge as a real estate broker. You have many choices choosing a realtor in Austin but I encourage you to give Reinae and Austin Home Girls the opportunity to earn your business. You will not regret it.

We have had a great experience working with Reinae in selling our Condo. We listed our place just as the market was slowing and it sat for a lot longer then we anticipated, very stressful! During that time Reinae was knowledgeable, responsive and really went the extra mile - resulting in a satisfactory sale just in time for the holidays. We are very grateful and would recommend Austin Girls Realty for anyone looking to sell or buy!

Austin Home Girls Realty is THE BEST. We met Reinae at a house she was showing and knew she was the realtor for us! She spent months looking for the perfect house for us. It was so nice having someone who knew Austin and all of its hot spots. We were able to look for houses and get a tour of the city at the same time. I would highly recommend Reinae for anyone looking for a house in Austin. She made a very stressful process fun and exciting! We are now living in our dream home, thanks to Reinae Kessler!

Reinae helped me and my husband buy our first home in central Austin a few years ago, and also helped my aging father sell his in Cedar Park last year. In both, very different real estate scenarios, we couldnt have asked for a more intrepid, knowledgeable, and truly caring agent. Reinae is incredibly gifted at what she does, and giving of all of her energy toward helping her clients get the best deals possible and making their dream homes a reality. I am always incredibly happy to be able to recommend Reinae to friends and coworkers. Shes our secret weapon when it comes to the Austin housing market.

Reinae is awesome! She was amazingly helpful in the selling of our Austin home in just one weekend at well above asking price. Super proactive, hard-working, and professional from the start, she came to our first meeting with tons of information to familiarize us with real estate in our neighborhood and the selling process. Shes passionate about what she does, and puts so much energy into her job. On top of that, she is extremely cheerful, thoughtful, and kind, and was always considerate of us, our pets, our belongings, and our home throughout the process. She gave us regular updates and quickly answered our many questions as the process was moving along, and, with an enormous smile and gracious spirit, always listened carefully to our concerns and alleviated us of our anxieties. Everyone on Reinaes team is similarly friendly and hard-working, making you feel as if they work only for you. We feel super fortunate to have met and worked with Reinae, and were sad that were moving away and wont be seeing her more. If youve got a home to sell or buy, you have no reason to consider anyone but Austin Home Girls Realty!

Reinae was great to work with as we were looking at purchasing our first home! She narrowed down the type of house we were interested in right away, and showed us many possibilities while considering our price range first and foremost. When our current home hit the market, she was enthusiastic about getting us in to see it that same day as she was sure it would be what we were looking for.Reinae didn’t stop working for us when the house was found as she walked us through the steps of the process and worked for us to have the seller agree to our specific terms and timing on purchasing the home. We definitely will not hesitate to work with Reinae and Austin Home Girls for our future real estate needs!

Working with Reinae Kessler was a pleasure. She was so helpful during the whole process. We were able to get a hold of her at anytime of the day or week.Whenever we had a concern she got to work right away to find a solution and answer. Shes very informative in all aspects of realty. Shes very professional but also feels like your working with a good friend.I wouldnt hesitate to work with her in the future and have already told my friends and family.Thank you Austin Home Girls!

BEST. EXPERIENCE. EVER.We could not be happier with the experience that Reinae provided us, she is absolutely the best. Right away, I knew she was genuine and sincere in how she does things and didnt leave us guessing. Although she was very friendly and sweet, she was also quite blunt and honest. Her personality is perfect for those who are tired of people who dilly dally but also dont want to be pushed around.It took me over a year to write this review. I just couldnt bring myself to write one and feel like I did justice by her and the quality of work she provided our family. I know it sounds like an excuse but seriously ..House hunting is an overwhelming experience. We had never gotten a house or even browsed for one yet. We knew what we wanted but could not verbalize what our needs were due to our lack of experience as home buyers but also lack of experience as a couple in the market for a new home together. Not only were we in the market with no clue of each others taste, we also had a quite rare need. I needed a 9ft pool table to fit in the house somewhere!! Reinae was really helpful and very passionate about getting our needs met. She almost seemed excited to be challenged!! She would ask questions about what we might like or dislike about a house in a way that made it feel like you were almost talking to a close friend; but then she took the info and ran with it! She came up with several options within just over a day. She gets her work done, folks!! She would literally be emailing/texting us day and night. Its like she doesnt sleep!Her expertise and passion got us into the PERFECT house. We were not in the market quite yet but she found such a fitting home that we could not pass it up.(and we are not impulsive buyers at all)It has now been a little over a couple of years since we moved in to our new home. Reinae has stayed in touch now and again to see how we are doing and to remind us of some things that we should keep an eye on as new home owners. If I am ever in the market again or have friends in the market, not an ounce in my body doubts that I will be calling Reinae!!side note :I have worked as a Korean translator. This being said I had never bought my own home but I had translated for people when they were buying a home so I had a lot of experience with realtors. In other words I have seen my share of good and bad apples, and Reinae takes the cake.

We were recommended Reinae Kessler by our previous roommates, who said that she was amazing, and even still we were not prepared for how great Reinae was in all aspects of the biz! She was extremely patient working with myself, a first-time home buyer, and my parents who werent even in the state.Most importantly, Reinae is a straight shooter and did not let us lead ourselves astray, but also took the time to make sure we understood why and how her advice was helping us. She managed to find us a beautiful house in less than a month, and when we wavered on buying a house so soon, let us know that we had a great deal on our hands and not to miss out on it!Reinae then was a very savvy negotiator, and has a seemingly endless group of great people to call on for inspections and any home work that needs to be done. Reinae was always there when we called or texted any question, no matter how mundane, and truly had our best interests in mind. She is also a great person to talk to and very easy to work with. If you want a great agent, go with Reinae!

Reinae was an excellent agent. She took the time to understand the clients needs and was able to find the perfect house on the first day of looking. She puts her heart into her job and loves to find the perfect match for her clients. She is on top of things and gets the job done quick and efficiently. I would highly recommend Reinae as an agent.

Reinae and her team are great! They did a superb job marketing our duplex. The process was quick and painless. I highly recommend Austin Home Girls! They are pros.

Reinae was flat out awesome. I was a clueless first time home buyer dealing in a tough, competitive market in Austin. Every incorrect move out there I would have made had it not been for Reinae. We found our home and she had our back the whole way through educating me along the way. And I needed a lot of education on this process. She knows it all. Extremely savvy when it comes to the real estate game and as patient as can be while letting you catch up.Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Reinae to whomever is ready to get in the game.

Reinae helped us find our first home 7 years ago. Im writing this review now because she has continued to be a great resource and a wealth of knowledge for us as our family grows and we look to the purchase our next home.I would whole heartedly recommend Reinae to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in Austin... and I have, many times!She not only helped us through the process of buying our home, but her honesty and ability to fully understand what we were looking for, (even when we didnt) was so refreshing. Having Reinae on our side gave us the little push and the confidence to make one of the biggest purchases in our lives. As we move forward I would look to no one else to help sell our home and find our next dream home!

Before we hired Reinae and Austin Home Girls, we did our research and spent time reading reviews. The reviews about Reinae do not lie! We have loved our experience selling our house with her. As first time home sellers, we had many questions at all times of the day- Reinae always had time for us, and made sure that we understood every aspect of the process. We would recommend Reinae to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Reinae helped us to buy a house in Austin from our current base overseas. Needless to say this was a challenging process. We were very far from Austin and didnt have the time or inclination to travel there to explore the city or view potential properties. Reinae took the time to video tape and send to us some of the areas we were interested in, traveling on foot through neighborhoods and offering up information about schools, services and neighborhood feel. Throughout, she was patient, informative, responsive and more than willing to take and reply to phone calls and emails at odd times of the day. During the buying process she was extremely thorough and we felt our needs and requirements as buyers were fulfilled to the highest professional standards. Due to the fact that we were so far away Reinae went above and beyond the normal service one would expect from a property agent, helping us to organize inspections and even once the sale was completed she continued to help us to find contractors to do work on the house and garden, despite the fact that she was under no obligation to do so. We have been highly impressed and wouldnt hesitate to recommend her to friends .. in fact we have already done so!

Where is the sixth star? Nikki Baird was absolutely amazing, helping us find and buy our condo in Austin. She went above and beyond in everything that she did to help us. She was ALWAYS available and returned most phone calls and text messages almost before I could finishing leaving them for her. Nikki helped us navigate through several complex issues with the HOA. If she did not have an immediate answer to a question, she would get it ASAP. I loved working with Nikki. She was professional, knowledgeable, and always helpful. I definitely will be recommending her to anyone I know who is buying or selling a home in Austin. ps: she has a great sense of humor and is very patient.

As an Austin transplant from California with 3 dogs, Carmen is a fantastic, trustworthy, and authentic realtor who went far above and beyond to meet our housing needs (which were comprised of a long list of must-haves and minimal flexibility). She was great at keeping us informed through timely communication and was incredibly thorough with our house hunting process, as my partner and I were located out of state and were unable to make a trip to the area to participate in the process in person. Being in the military and having moved several times in my career, I have worked with my share of realtors and rank her above all the rest. Her positive and upbeat attitude was a bonus as it kept the momentum going in finding us a suitable home/landlord who would allow 3 dogs. Never did we feel neglected or question the status of the process. Carmen was our “eyes and ears” and she utilized various tools to ensure that we could gain a better understanding of the properties that she was pursing on our behalf. For example, she made countless videos of the properties and narrated a description of each room and potential uses—especially the kind of details that a typical person may not take into consideration (e.g., putting things into context so we could gain a better understanding of sizes, colors, etc.; making note of the windows that sunlight enters the house; etc.). Throughout the process, we always felt that she was our advocate, and her successful negotiations with our landlord resulted in us saving some money which made for a nice surprise. Never did we have any doubts, but when we finally arrived at our new home for the first time, we were so relieved and happy because everything was exactly as we anticipated—with no “gotchas.”I strongly urge “Austinites” and future transplants to consider working with Carmen—it’s one decision you will not regret!

My husband found Reinae through Yelp and Im so glad he did.She not only sold our home for us IN 3 DAYS, but helped us find a new one, last minute. She spent so much time with us showing us several homes until we found the one we wanted. Including showing us late into one evening. She helped us every step of the way from meeting us during the inspections to giving us honest feedback on what to do to our home in order to get it sold quickly.. Did I mention it sold in 3 days? She was so patient and so helpful during this process. She knows the Austin market and knew exactly what it would take to sell our home and get us our dream home.I would recommend Reinae to anyone that is wanting to buy or sell a home in Austin.

I was very pleased with the outstanding service we had working with Reinae and Austin Home Girls as we searched for our first home. She was very attentive to our wants and dislikes and the homes she showed us demonstrated how perceptive she was to what we were looking for. As first-time homebuyers, she was always willing to explain the different steps of the process and make sure we were comfortable with our choice. We look forward to working with Reinae and Austin Home Girls in the future for our real estate needs in the Austin area.

Reinae has represented with us on five transactions and I would never consider working with another agent. Reinae possesses many qualities that make her wonderful to work with but above all is the fact that she always has a clients best interest in mind (even if it means more work or a smaller commission for her) this is beyond rare in the industry and the reason I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or sell in the Austin and surrounding areas.

Reinae is dedicated, professional and has a great knowledge of the Austin market. She did a wonderful job helping us prepare a house for market that needed a lot of work. Then she did a fantastic job helping us win the bidding war for a dream home in a super competitive market. She knows all the tricks, and her knowledge made the difference.

Reinae Kessler is absolutely the best realtor in Austin. When we moved to Central Texas in 2011, she helped us find a great home in a school district that we wanted to send our two sons. It was a wonderful neighborhood off the beaten path complete with nice amenities and great people. She helped us make this choice by meeting us and getting to know us before helping us wade through the many challenges of the seemingly always red hot Austin real estate market.She proved to us that she was a great negotiator and genuine joy to work with as we had many questions. Patiently, she walked us through the entire process since we had not bought a home in many years. When we needed help with anything including finding a handyman, painter, whatever you can imagine you would need when you are new to an area, she was there for us. She made the entire process go very smoothly, making a hard transition much easier.We lived in Austin for three years and remained good friends with Reinae who continued to provide names for services related to our house and yard. When we had to move in 2014, we immediately contacted her to serve as our representative. She helped us so much. We wanted to sell and then rent back for a few months. She brought us a great buyer who agreed, and everything for that setup to the actual sale went as smoothly as it could. On moving day, she even showed up and helped us at the last minute pack some of the last things as we ran out of time (now, that is a full service provider). We so appreciated all that she did and will always remain a huge fan.That said, if we ever move back to Central Texas (and we hope to do so), the first person we will contact is Reinae. I cannot recommend her more highly as both a realtor and great person. She is the out-and-out the best of the best!

Working with Reinae was excellent! From the first visit of our new house through the closing process, she was always there advocating for us and making the entire process smooth and near-effortless!

Rainae helped us to sell our condo which, due to owner occupancy rules, was no easy task! She knows the austin market well as well as contractors who are reliable. She balances a friendly spirit with professional knowledge. She provided us with excellent advice and negotiated with our best interest in mind. If we ever need real estate assistance again, we will not hesitate to use Reinae.

First time homebuyers and we couldnt be happier!Reinae is absolutely wonderful. She took the time to help us understand the home buying process from every detail in the paperwork to understanding what elements in a home were really important to us. She turned what some have described as a grueling process into a fun and exciting experience. It is no secret, first time homebuyers arent often your high ticket clients, but the treatment we received from Reinae made us feel like we were her only clients. She is approachable, easy to contact and was always keeping us updated on the progress. As first time buyers we had A LOT of questions...and I really mean A LOT. I probably called her 20 or more times a week, and she was always responsive and excited to help us.The home buying process with Reinae doesnt end at closing. We are now looking for electricians, advice on certain projects and Reinae is the first person we call. Reinae really values relationships and that is apparent in your dealings with her and her crew at Home Girls Realty. She is a resource that goes beyond buying the home and some day in the future we cant wait to work with her to buy our next home!

Reinae was very nice and professional. She found a house that my husband and I loved.

My husband and I found Reinae on Yelp. We were moving from California and really needed help finding the right home and neighborhood in Austin. We knew it was going to be a challenge since we havent spent much time in Austin and we live a couple thousand miles away in a different time zone.She was definitely up for the challenge! She took time to meet with us over the phone and immediately got a good sense of what we were looking for. Worked around our schedule when we would be out to visit and quickly helped us fine the home of our dreams!She is so wonderful to work with, I simply cannot save enough good things about Reinae! She is so easy to get along with, professional, knowledgeable, flexible, available, and helped us negotiate the best price for our home. While we were still looking at homes, she even took video of the best ones and emailed it to me when I couldnt be there to look at them with my husband! It made me feel like I was there the entire time!I highly, highly recommend Reinae, you will not be disappointed!

We used Reinae to help buy a home for our college kids going to UT. She knew the area very well and was a great help. There were several offers the first day. With here experience we were able to price appropriate and ended up getting the home. Our kids love the location. Reinae has been a great assest to us and our college kids even after the purchase. We would use her again in a heart beat.

I found Reinae through Yelp. Her reviews were amazing and its all true!!I was going through a prolonged family crisis, and I needed someone clever and kind who also had a good sense of humor. I needed super-broker. She called back very quickly and basically said, you need me. And she was right. Selling and buying a home is so profoundly emotional, and Reinae understands the human component of her job so very well. I felt like I had a friend throughout the whole process. Reinae is real and candid and compassionate. She was there for me in a very tough time, and kept reminding me to have faith in the process. She had my back the whole way through. And I must say, we laughed a lot along the way.Reinae knows Austin. She knows how to get your home sold for top dollar and to get the house of your dreams in this very competitive market. She has an infectious energy, an excellent command of her business, and knows what it takes to get the deal done. It is an art form how to read people and how to negotiate, and Reinae does both exceptionally well. As a businesswoman, I can really appreciate her skill and her hard work. Shes efficient and effective and talented and shes always there for you.Reinae saved me countless hours personally vetting and put me in touch with a professional organizer, an estate sale company, a house cleaner, a stager, movers, a painter, a lender, a home warranty company, a home inspectors, an HVAC company, a lawyer, and she even came over and personally moved furniture with me because I was so overwhelmed. Who does that?After we got my home sold she encouraged me to truly assess what I want and whether this was a good time for me to buy another home. I still had some unresolved family drama. She wasnt just trying to sell me a house; she wanted to make sure I was in the right headspace to make such an important decision. I appreciate having a sister looking out for me. She is so very honest and human.Reinae is part agent, part counselor, part decorator, and full time friend. Trust me when I say, you need her. She is amazing. And you pronounce her name like Renee. The spelling of her name is as unique and special as she is.

I am another first time homebuyer who cannot say enough good things about Reinae.After attempting to contact another top-reviewed Realtor, I stumbled on Reinaes page and used her search tool. Within 45 minutes, Reinae reached out to me - without being pushy - and told me shed love to help with my home search. I sent her my preapproval along with a few properties I liked so she could get a feel for what I was looking for, and we scheduled some time on a Sunday to check out some properties.I ended up putting in an offer and ultimately buying the very first house we looked at! Reinae was friendly and so easy to work with. She was amazing at guiding me through the entire process and helping me negotiate with a seller that was less-than-pleasant to deal with. I really appreciated her patience with my constant barrage of phone calls and questions due to my lack of knowledge and experience with home buying. She knows the market inside and out, and is passionate about her job. Reinae also has a great network - the inspector she recommended was very thorough and helpful, and her insurance guy not only gave me the best quote for my homeowners insurance, but ended up saving me on my auto insurance as well!Reinae goes the extra mile to get the results that are in the best interest of her clients. She will go to bat for you, and will advocate for you if she sees a seller, lender, or any other player in the homebuying process that isnt looking out for your best interest. I will never be able to repay her for all she did to get me into my first home. Im just sad it was over so quickly!

I contacted Reinae to see if she could help me find an investment property in Austin. She responded quickly and asked what I was looking for. I let her know what areas Id like to consider and my budget. I also mentioned that Im out of state, so therefore Im relying on information pulled from the internet. I also asked what her recommendations were. She promptly responded that I wouldnt find what I was looking for and said that If you are looking for a deal, Austin is not the place.Yes, I did mention it would be ideal if I could find foreclosures or short sales, however Im open to suggestions. Im looking for an agent to help me navigate through what my options are.I then sent another TWO emails. One thanked her for her promptness and let her know that I didnt have any strict requirements on exact location. Along with that I mentioned that I found a few places on Zillow that seemed to meet my budget. In the other email I sent her a link of some listings I found that seemed reasonable in MLSfinder and asked Do you recommend any of these areas? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you again.Not a single reply to either of these. No email. No phone call. I figured she was busy so I waited a couple of days, but got nothing. Maybe she thought I wasnt worth her time...I honestly dont know. However, it would have been nice if she would have taken a couple minutes out of her day to give me some advice, guidance, or response to my emails.Luckily the other agents I contacted were very helpful. Its nice to know that there are other agents out there willing to help a first time investor that doesnt know all the ins and outs of the area.

My wife and I had an excellent house-buying experience with Reinae. She always had our best interests in mind and worked long and hard to find us the best property.Initially we planned to purchase a condo. After Reinae showed us several and explained HOA fees and control over common areas, we realized that condos might be OK for some, but not for us.Then she showed us single-family homes in our desired area. She pointed out properties that met our investment objectives, gathered comps, and projected repairs needed and possible cash-flow. She was also very honest about some homes that had latent fatal flaws.Reinae is a great negotiator -- The house that we decided upon was priced far under its TCAD value, yet she encouraged us to make an offer considerably lower than we thought reasonable. The buyer accepted two days later!Reinae kept us notified as events happened during the purchasing process. We closed in less than 30 days, and we are very pleased with the house. We would definitely work with Reinae again!

This was my first time buying a home and I cant recommend Austin Home Girls enough!

Bought and sold with Reinaes awesome help.

Reinae guided us through some of the major sales issues of working with Builders not only that but she also protected us from some of the issues in financing always watching our back every step of the way.

AHG rocks!
