It has been truly a great experience working with Barrett since the day he was referred to
me by my friend. To be honest, I was working with a Redfin agent prior to being referred
to Barrett, and I could see the difference in approach. Barrett gets into the details and
does his independent research. His inputs helped me and my wife in deciding on the

offers we made on properties in and around Austin. The property we recently closed
was also not in the market yet, but Barrett was quick to get into a discussion and help
us with his analysis on long-term appreciation and good rental value.
Our experience with Barret in the entire process of buying a rental property has been
great. His knowledge of local neighborhoods, what works and what doesn’t works is a
valuable insight for any home buyer working with him. We would definitely be
recommending him to our friends who may be interested in their primary or rental
homes in and around Austin.

Barrett was outstanding to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area
and the current market. We have bought and sold many houses, and this was by far the
best experience we have ever had, and we would highly refer Barrett to anyone. He
made it so easy and stress less. Barrett is not only a great Realtor but a great guy as
well. Realty Austin is very lucky to have him working for them.

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.

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!

I’m sure it’s no surprise to you, Barrett has been very helpful in our home search. Since
some of the rules in Texas are different from CA, he explained all those very thoroughly.
One of the most important things I like about Barrett is he never pushes for something
that a client doesn’t want. This is the topmost quality any realtor can have. Since we
bought this property remotely, he gave us a video tour of many properties, explaining the
good and not-so-good things about each property. And it’s not just us. I have two other
friends who bought a property through Barrett, and they also had a very pleasant
experience. He is awesome!! We will give him six stars out of five.

We had a great experience working with Barrett selling our home. He was great at
communicating with us and making the process easy and stress-free. We are very
happy with the service he provided us. We would highly recommend him to anyone we
know looking to sell or buy a home and will definitely contact him in the future when we

are ready to purchase our new home. Barrett did personalize his service to meet our
needs and exceed our expectations. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to
work with him.

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”
