Our experience working with Barrett was nothing less than amazing. He first came on our radar when he sold a house on our street before it hit the market. When it came time to sell our house, Barrett came prepared with market analysis data and confidence that he would sell our house quickly at a strong price point. Barrett was not pushy and
always gave us the necessary data to make informed decisions. His recommendations on painters, handymen, landscapers, stagers, and photographers were all a pleasure to work with and truly got our house looking its best. We received multiple offers within the first few weeks, and Barrett helped immensely throughout the process to ensure
everything went smoothly. And it did. Thank you, Barrett! It was then a no-brainer to work with Barrett on our new home purchase. Again, Barrett worked within the parameters we gave him. Originally, we thought that central Austin would no longer be an option with our growing family. Barrett was able to locate a new construction home in
Tarrytown that met our needs and then was able to negotiate to stay within our budget. We couldn’t be happier about our new home. Barrett was fantastic to work with both selling and buying. Highly recommended.

Barrett did a great job for us in many ways. His knowledge of the area (west, southwest Austin) was very helpful to us as we wanted to locate near our children and near a golf club. He advised us on clubs (he is uniquely qualified to do that!) and helped us identify the neighborhoods we were interested in. He worked tirelessly to show us houses and
was always helpful and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he spotted the house we bought before it hit the market and alerted us immediately. We couldn’t ask for more from a Realtor. He was a pleasure to work with. We felt he was a straight shooter and a good listener. We would definitely recommend him to friends.

If I was going to sum up my experience with Barrett in one word, it would be ‘Professional.’ I personally think this is the best compliment you can give to someone for their job. Barrett was always available and responded to every call or text very timely, and even if he didn’t have the answer immediately and needed to rely on others for the
answers, he would set expectations on when I could expect an answer and eventually provide the answer needed. This was our first home buying process, and both my fiance and I felt comfortable with Barrett throughout the entire process. During every walkthrough we had, he did a great job of answering any questions we had and was
careful not to force his opinions on the house unless we specifically asked for his opinion. He let us know what to expect during each step of the process and made sure we felt comfortable, and never made us feel rushed. I really can’t say enough about my experience with Barrett, and I am grateful for having worked with him. I would absolutely
recommend Barrett to anyone and plan on working with him again in the future.

We, honestly, cannot say enough about Barrett. Knowing he had experience with relocation companies, and his superb knowledge of our neighborhood is what sold us on him. He answered every call, text, and email professionally and on time. This was our first time working with a relocation company, and Barrett took the time to explain
and guide us through the entire process. It is so important to have a good working relationship with your Realtor, and we feel very fortunate to have worked with him. We can only hope to find someone close to Barrett in Washington State when we decide to buy here.

My experience with Barrett Sandefur has been absolutely amazing! Barrett’s knowledge of current market conditions, housing trends, and the best way to navigate the home buying process in the ever-changing Austin marketplace was invaluable. Being a first-time home buyer made for a high-stress situation, but with the help of Barrett, everything came together seamlessly. Having a great realtor can make a world of difference when looking for your home, and I can not think of a better person to have walked me through this process. From taking me to countless house showings, answering many questions and phone calls, to helping me secure my perfect first home,
Barrett consistently made my home buying process run smoothly. Thanks, Barrett, for being my realtor of choice!

I have worked with Barrett Sandefur on three properties, both as the buyer and the seller. It is by far the best experience I have ever had with an agent. He is always on top of everything, communicates well, and makes the process easy. I recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Austin.

I had a great experience working with Barrett. I found him to be very proactive and knowledgeable. His proactivity was key, both in terms of finding a great opportunity before it hit the market, but also by reaching out with helpful info or check-ins as we moved from offer to closing. His market knowledge was very helpful, both in terms of helping me understand the neighborhood and opportunity, but also talking through potential improvements to the house and what they could net me in terms of an estimated value and rents.

I must say, working with Barrett was an awesome experience. I had very specific goals in mind and he understood that very well. He guided me at every step of the way, from finding the right property to closing it. I being remote in California was very skeptical about the whole remote buying process. I was constantly testing him on various
aspects of the buying process and I am glad to say that he has earned my trust with his knowledge and patience! Super responsive and super approachable. He found me exactly what I was looking for. Having worked with various other realtors, I think I can safely say that working with Barrett was the best experience for me overall. I have
already referred him to a lot of my friends.

It was indeed a privilege to get Barrett’s service in purchasing our first home in Austin. I never thought it would be so easy to purchase something remotely. Trust and responsiveness are the two key things I was looking for beyond other aspects a typical agent brings to the table. Barrett demonstrated the same throughout the process of
writing multiple offers and finally buying our property. He guided us with candid feedback and assessment of every property very patiently. He is able to think through all aspects and represent us well while negotiating. Overall, it’s been a great pleasure to work with Barrett, and I am looking forward to our continued engagement. Thank you,
Barrett, for your help!

I worked with Barrett Sandefur, and it was a tremendously pleasant experience. Barrett was responsive, professional, and gave honest, helpful advice; never did I feel that he didn’t have my interests as his top priority. For a real estate market like Austin in 2021, I have no doubt that elite representatives like Barrett are essential to being able to find the right home with minimal stress. I can’t recommend Barrett and the team enough. It was a smooth and efficient search, thanks to his dedication and efforts.

Ravi and I cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Barrett on the purchase of our home. Barrett is a superstar – extremely professional, easy to work with, and his experience reflects the knowledge he has of the market and the process! Given it is our first home and we were not even on the ground (based out of California
the whole time), the success of this purchase can only be attributed to Barrett’s hard work, attention to detail, and proactive communication during the end-to-end process. As first-time buyers, we had a plethora of questions, and Barrett was always kindly available to answer them, notwithstanding the time zone difference. He never pushed or
rushed us on any decision at any point and was very protective of our interests as a buyer during the deal. In addition to the home, as part of the purchase, we also had to navigate through the assumption of a solar loan which was quite a complex and tricky affair on its own. But Barrett always stayed on top of everything – be it talking to solar
loan companies or following up on the status with the loan officers – and made the whole experience tremendously smooth and easy for us! Thanks to Barrett, we felt absolutely comfortable, confident, and in control every step of the way, from seeing prospective homes on video calls to becoming homeowners. Working with Barrett has
been a pleasure, and we will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to purchase in the Austin area! 🙂 Thank you!

We had a pleasant time with Barrett in getting out first home. He helped us in his full capacity throughout the tiring process. In case you do not know, we had a really cranky seller who was making life difficult for us. Barrett pitched in at the right time and helped guide us through the tricky waters. At one point, we thought we’d lose the house, but he
kept the boat steady and won us the home. He has also helped us in other areas related to home buying and promptly guided us to the right resource. He has been super responsive in communications and is now more of a friend than an agent.
