I rarely write reviews and only do so for the exceptional. Jesse Schaeffer easily reaches that distinction. I have worked with hundreds of professionals in my 30 year career, and Jesse is one of my favorite people to work with, regardless of industry. He has a great ability to anticipate your needs and proactively deliver upon them. Without prompting, he identifies opportunities and obstacles and works behind the scenes, bringing solutions, often before you knew you had a problem. As a small example, once the closing documents were available for our deal, Jesse quickly read them over, and optimized the coverages and costs, moving remaining costs to the seller, saving us several hundred dollars, and only pinging us for the “OK.” Additionally, he made connections to architects, builders, city permit reviewers, arborists, and other specialists, in order to make sure we were surrounded by the experts we needed to achieve success in our real estate project. He deployed his drone without asking to send photos of the views from the 3rd floor for prospective lots. My take is that 99% of real estate agents approach the job as a volume game, resulting in a situation that ultimately minimizes time spent with each client. I believe Jesse approaches his job quite the opposite, and focuses on making each client feel like they are his only one. In summary, I highly recommend Jesse. His work ethic compelled me to write what I believe is the only recommendation like this I have ever done, and I’m not young.
Jesse is the beast of the breed - he’s extremely proactive, communicative, and expertly in tune with market dynamics. He’ll go above and beyond, guiding you to whatever outcome fits your needs. Highest possible recommendation, particularly for those looking to rent their homes.
After carefully eliminating other realtors for the sale of my TX house, I found Jesse (thanks heavens) to be perfect for selling my house. I highly recommend Jesse for any real estate needs. His expertise, professionalism, and dedication makes him stand out. He has an in-depth knowledge of the market and goes above and beyond to ensure we were his priority. He has excellent communication skills and a proven track record, Jesse guided us through the process smoothly and efficiently. Working with him undoubtedly lead us to a successful and satisfying real estate experience. He spent hours in getting my house ready for sale. We are out of state, and he was always at the property doing things to get it ready. Never have I ever seen a real estate agent clean every single bulb and glass pieces in a chandelier! He won our hearts and Jesse, we will do business with you again in future. You are family!
Jesse was amazing to work with, especially as a first time home buyer. He was professional, communicative and responsive on all issues and helped navigate a clear, pain-free path to purchasing my first home. He listened to my needs and wants and ensured I found exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend him to anybody seeking a high-level realtor.
I’ve worked with many real estate agents, but none like Jesse. He immediately understands what you’re looking for and balances those needs with a thorough understanding of the market. However, execution is where he shines. Preparing the right offer in a competitive market, preparing for appraisal, all of the important milestones - Jesse is with you through everything at every step. He’s helpful with mortgage bankers, real estate attorneys, builders, inspectors. Jesse is a full-service agent and I’ve worked with him both on the buy and sell-side. I won’t work with anyone else in Austin and I’ve referred all of my friends in the market for a new home to him. Obviously, he’s delivered for them as well.
Jesse is highly detail oriented, very responsive, and a strong strategist when it comes to marketing a unit for sale. Plus he's really kind and has a heart to serve. We worked with him to list an unusual condo for sale. While the market is hot (that's an understatement), this condo wasn't for everyone. He worked every contact, had a very organized spreadsheet showing all of the traffic and notes on people's feedback, and managed to garner multiple offers. He was extremely prepared and understood how to manage the flow of information especially with an extremely difficult HOA management company. He managed the expectations of the tenants currently in the condo and made sure they were comfortable with the showings. It was an incredibly smooth process.
Jesse helped me buy my first home in Austin. He was knowledgable, responsive, and also provided much-needed emotional support when I got COVID right before I closed on the house, and had to make some big decisions about repairs. He's also just a really nice person. Highly recommend!
Jesse really went above and beyond for us. As an out of state investor he provided the knowledge we needed to feel comfortable with our investment. Jesse was very patient, not pushy and provided all the information we needed when we were considering properties for purchase. Jesse is now the gold standard I will hold all other agents to!
Mr. Schaeffer did a great job in helping us to sell our house in Hutto. We live in San Antonio now and I had just started a new job so I could not travel at a moment's notice. He was very professional and worked within our parameters. He provided reports and concise information to assist us in making informed decisions. We were totally pleased with the results.
Jesse is top notch. He helped us navigate this crazy market and secure our dream home within a month. He helped us think outside the box, showed us different areas and put together strong offers. But on top of it all, his market research helped us be comfortable with our offers as we were worried about the appraisal value coming in lower. Sure enough, our winning offer and the appraisal value matched to the last cent!!!! Thanks Jesse for your help.
Carlos did a phenomenal job finding us a home! We had a lot of needs and weren’t exactly easy clients, but Carlos put in so much time and effort to make sure we found the perfect place for us. We experienced a lot of trial and error in our search, but throughout the process, Carlos was unbelievably helpful and extremely communicative with us. Carlos made an insanely stressful process w complete breeze. I would recommend him highly to anyone!
Great communication and attention to detail. Rachel made sure all of my needs were met and nothing fell through the cracks.
Patti was just exceptional helping me find a new rental home. She is so professional, kind and has such great advice to help make the right decision on which home to choose. I've worked with several different realtors over the years and Patti is without a doubt one of the best!!
Patti Chesney was incredible to work with! She was so helpful and knowledgeable when we bought our house that we asked her to help sell the old house as well and with her great advice and skill we were able to sell the old house very quickly and get a great price that we were happy with. She was kind and thoughtful, always responded to us immediately, and really knew the real estate market! We would HIGHLY recommend her.
We could not have asked for a better realtor. Patti anticipated our needs and questions and provided service faster and better than we could have hoped for.
Patti helped us immensely through a recent whirlwind sale of our home. Very knowledgeable. She responded quickly to any and all of our questions, gave great advice about showing our home and at the end of the day, made our transition very smooth. Thank you Patti.
Patti is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and always proactive. She guided us through all the decisions of selling by presenting options available, helping us work through pros and cons of decisions with patience, respect, and humor. Patti is a skilled negotiator and efficient liaison. With Patti’s service, the task we felt would be like climbing a mountain became more like a pleasant hike along a paved trail. Thank you for your excellent service, Patti!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Elle Klein. Elle's expertise allowed us to make the best decisions throughout our home-buying process - from search, negotiation, and close. We highly recommend Elle Klein to anyone who wishes to work with a market expert.
From the first day I met Elle, I knew I could count on her knowledge and expertise of the real estate world. Elle provided more than wonderful advice. She did some work on my property because it was needed, and I'm not as young as I used to be! To work with someone who knows what she is doing and, most importantly, has a gigantic heart is such a joy. She is now a valued friend!
Elle was very diligent in getting us our first rental home. She knows areas/neighborhoods well and definitely has a competitive edge. The Austin market is CRAZY but she helped calm any anxieties about a fast moving process.
