My experience with Realty Austin and 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!

We went with Barrett after speaking with quite a few others agents, including others at
your brokerage. Right from the onset, we felt very comfortable working with him. He was
also very highly recommended by my husband’s colleagues.
We are first-time home buyers, and Barrett guided us all along while being patient and
educating us. In hindsight, we now realize how he tactfully warded us away from making
overexcited financial decisions.
In the current Austin market, we ended up with a home in the location we wanted for a
price below the top end of our budget and the size that we wanted. It would not have
been possible without him. He even managed to negotiate the price down by 35K!
We will absolutely be recommending him to others and hopefully working ourselves with
him again in the future.

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.

I’m really blessed to have found Barrett via my good friend Tamaghna. I would run out of
superlatives or adjectives if I were to describe my experiences of interacting with him.
Although the hunt for my first purchase did take a while as I took some time off to let
the market cool down, which eventually never happened. But this is where my first
impressions of Barret came in when he didn’t push me or forward me anything out of
desperation. This is something which I really appreciate that he put himself in my shoes
& tried to look at things from my perspective. Since this was going to be an investment
property, he also helped me with cashback analysis & often indicated when it didn’t
make sense to go ahead.
Coming back to the Isabel home which we closed recently, Barrett did all the heavy
lifting. The last few weeks had been pretty hectic on the work front, but I am glad that he
had my back & guided me through the process, often proactively to avoid any
last-minute rush. His connections especially on the inspection, lender & title companies
made it feel like a breeze, especially for a remote buyer like me.
As I said I could go on and on with specific situations or incidents, but the underlying
thing is that I have found a new friend or partner in him. He is simply the best & can’t
wait to work with him again.

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 this property in Buda. 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!

Myself and Barrett had our first e-mail touchpoint in Mid October, we started with
property search criteria and continuously adjusted. Since the start time, Barett was in
regular touch and sent me properties after filtering as per search criteria, thanks for not
sending all the properties around in the market. As I’m overseas with a different
timezone, Barrett made himself available on Whats App, communicating in the timings
that work for me, introducing me to lenders, educating me on the steps that need to
follow to get to closure, etc….Finally I would summarize as “Barrett was very reliable agent
throughout the journey and went beyond expectations to make things work”

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. I am sure he is going to be very busy in the next few weeks 🙂

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 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 and Realty
Austin to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Austin.

Dear Barrett Sandefur, Thank you so much for your help with buying our home. You made the
process simple and easy to understand for us and we appreciated your patience and expertise. Your
insight was extremely valuable to us and I don’t think we could have done this without you.

Finding Our Dream Home (and Saying Goodbye to the Old One) – Thanks April! We can’t recommend April Moreaux at Bramlett Residential Real Estate highly enough! In the past year, she’s guided us through both buying and selling a home, and we’ve been incredibly impressed with her expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process. We are new empty nesters that needed to downsize for our next adventure. April truly shines when things get complicated. Negotiations for both our purchase and sale involved some twists and turns, but she was always responsive and on top of everything. Her clear communication kept us informed every step of the way, and her calm demeanor under pressure helped us stay relaxed during stressful moments. It’s clear April knows the real estate market inside and out. She provided valuable insights and strategic advice that ultimately helped us achieve our goals. Whether you’re buying or selling, we have no doubt April will be your rock throughout the entire journey. Thanks again for everything!

We recently worked with Barrett Sandefur to sell our home in Circle C. He was absolutely wonderful to work with – extremely responsive and easy to get a hold of, very knowledgeable of the market, comps, rules & regulations, etc. & easy to work with all around. He had several connections to local vendors to get our house in the best shape possible at a reasonable price (I.e interior paint, etc.) prior to getting it on the market. He held an open the first weekend we were on the market & we closed the sale in less than 30 days of being on the market. We would highly recommend Barrett to anyone looking to buy or a sell their home. He truly made the experience as seamless as possible.
