  1. When will the new HQ be completed? (Co-working space?)
  2. Could you walk us through REALSCALE? What gets set up by us? What gets set up by Stephen?
  3. Is there still a 2 shift per week limit for leads duty? When are new lead shifts released?
  4. If someone from my database is shared by another agent in FUB do I need to turn them off from receiving automated newsletter from me? Ive had one SOI reach out that is duplicated.
  5. How are people using email between FUB and Gmail? I am started to get annoyed with having to delete emails in gmail because I used the FUB interface to communicate.
  6. If I add a relationship, say spouse to a contact, will they get automated emails as cc’d, independently or not all unless the related person has their own contact listing?
  7. How can I best build good expectations with buyers before an inspection of an older home? I’ve run into trouble recently where even though I prep them to expect lots of minor issues, and that we’re looking for major issues, they end up getting fixated on creating a laundry list of requests for minor repairs, even when they are just regular maintenance items. Follow up on #1. During negotiations, I’ve needed to put the whole situation into perspective for the buyers, and mention the seller’s state of mind and how that will play into things. Despite being careful about my phrasing, this makes buyers bristle and feel like I’m advocating for the sellers instead of them. How would you recommend I handle this to get the buyers to be more reasonable during negotiations without offending them?
  8. Would love to discuss assumable mortgages and how they work. Seeing this offered on some listings lately and would love to hear your personal experience with them
  9. What do you look for in a lender? (What keeps you with Max & Co?)
  10. What’s best practices on getting the lowest price on non-realty items… include this addendum with the contract before the option period or wait until the option period? Need help on navigating this a bit better.
  11. How useful do you think reverse prospecting emails are? What’s best practice for email marketing our listings?
  12. If you were an active agent trying to expand your SOI, what are some networking strategies you would employ? Top 3 most effective (in your opinion)
  13. If you had to invest in real estate that was not a single family home, what would you choose and why?
  14. Is there an investment property you wish you didn’t buy? What did you learn from the deal and subsequent ownership?

Vikki Davis from Bramlett was super easy to work with. She was responsive, amicable, followed-through with details, and helped making buying a home easy.

Haval Abbas helped us buy and then 5 years later, sell our property in Spanish Oaks, and he was amazing – from marketing the property, advising us on pricing, negotiating terms and keeping us on schedule with all the activities to get to closing. We are particular clients and would wholeheartedly recommend him as either a buyers or sellers agent. He is smart, knowledgeable and fun to work with.

If you need an Agent, Laura is no-brainer option.

Laura makes the process so easy. She is there to walk you through every step of the process whether your renting or buying. Laura helped my wife and I find a rental home in the area we like. We look foward to working with her in the future, when it’s time to buy a home.

Laura was an absolute delight to work with. She was very knowledgeable and made the whole house buying process as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend working with her, and will definitely be referring her to my friends.

I really enjoyed working with Laura. She was incredibly organized and really took the time to meet with us, learn what was important to us, and then facilitate the whole process so things could move smoothly and quickly. She is always available when we needed her and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a home.

Laura knows this already, but I feel the world should know that she is my fairy godmother. I was working to sell my home during difficult circumstances, and she stuck with it and me through the whole thing. I am extremely grateful for her patience and perseverance. She is very professional and compassionate, she knows the market and explains things well, and she has the ability to think creatively to get you to your goals. Thank you Laura!!

I absolutely love Laura! She made our house hunting experience smooth and uncomplicated! She also went above and beyond and helped us with all the information about buying a home! Laura is the best! If you are looking for someone who is an expert and knows all about the home buying/renting process get Laura Tamaszewski!

Our community robotics team, FRC 6377 Howdy Bots, has outgrown our current workshop. We have been meeting out of the home of our head coach, and after four years, we now have 19 students and 10 mentors. Laura helped us find the perfect new space with lots of room to grow! We were very picky, and Laura was very patient; it took quite awhile to find just that right place that fit our needs. Laura was also knowledgeable about the Austin market and was able to answer all of our questions. She was also quick to track down accurately any answers she didn’t already know. She was with us every step of the way, and made it easy for us to negotiate with the landlord. We’re very happy with our experience and would recommend Laura wholeheartedly!

Laura is an exceptional communicator. Laura performed her duties as a realtor with great efficiency and consideration for my needs as a future tenant. While representing the interests of the property owner, Laura’s excellent customer service skills made me feel like I was her own private client. I would not hesitate to utilize her services in the future and I have already recommended her to friends and family as a trusted relator and someone I would even feel comfortable calling a new friend! Thank you for making my move into my new home such a joyful experience Laura!

Laura has been an absolute pleasure to work with. As first-time homebuyers in the challenging, fast-paced Austin market, my partner and I knew we needed someone knowledgeable, detail-oriented, with a patient but firm style – and that’s exactly who Laura is. She has an incredible understanding of the market and is willing to learn just as much about your preferences in order to find the right home for you. She’s quick to respond to emails and help with paperwork in every single stage of this process, and her negotiation abilities helped us find a home that was not only a perfect fit, but well within our comfort zone in terms of price, location and contract! Purchasing a home in Austin can be very tough, but Laura made our experience as enjoyable as possible. We’re exceedingly grateful to her for keeping us focused, positive, and consistently well-informed. Laura’s skills and compassion will be an asset to any homebuyer, and we can’t recommend her enough.

I am convinced that no other realtor could have sold my unique home under the current market conditions. Laura is highly informed, intelligent, resourceful, creative, persistent, attentive, and personable. We experienced extreme head winds in the sales process due to market conditions-and each time she was immediately responsive with a solution. Her guidance was critical and spot on. I would never consider another realtor for any future real estate transactions, nor would I ever recommend any other agent. I am so fortunate to have had her as my agent!!I am convinced that no other realtor could have sold my unique home under the current market conditions.
