Abby Martin
Vivia was wonderful to work with. She was transparent and patient with us first time homebuyers throughout. We appreciate how much she cared about us finding the right home for ourselves along with helpful advice and a positive mindset along the way.
Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful realtor.
Yolanda Johnson from Bramlett Real Estate was amazing from start to finish and stayed in contact with us. Since we were a first time home buyer she helped educate and guide us through the process and made us feel comfortable. She was able to answers all of our questions that we had. I would highly recommended her and she exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for a realtor that cares and is just as invested as you I would contact Yolanda and her team.
We contacted Dochen REALTORS office after the passing of my mother to start the process of selling her house. Carol and her associates were very caring and helped expedite the process every step of the way. If we ever need her services in the future we will definitely be working with Carol Dochen and her team.
Looking back on our experience of moving to Austin, we couldn’t have picked a better REALTOR® to help us navigate the home buying process. From the first call through to closing and beyond, Carol has been an invaluable resource. She took time to understand our unique needs, and did a great job finding homes both on the market and coming to market, that would be right for us. With this understanding, she guided us through the neighborhood we wanted to live in, giving us a rich history of homes and streets, pointing out features and challenges to consider-many of which we would have never thought of!
I worked with Dana Epstein to purchase a second home in Austin. Her attention to detail and professionalism are unmatched. Amazingly seamless transaction even though I was in Colorado. Couldn’t have done it without Dana!
This review has been a long time coming; I have both bought and sold a house with Arlene in the span of six years. I was a first time home buyer (and seller) and she walked me through the process every step of the way. She has a good perspective. Her advice is very insightful and practical. She’s easily available via phone, email, or text – and she answered all my newbie questions right away. I live out of state so not only did she do this with me in a different state, she managed to do it during a PANDEMIC. She knows the neighborhoods of Austin really well and she has a great take on pricing. Seriously, finding a realtor gem is hard, so don’t look any further if you’re considering Arlene. She’s awesome!
Jackie has been our Realtor® for many years, having represented us as a buyer and a seller. Our real estate deals with her always go smoothly, because she is a great communicator, great negotiator, and just a wonderfully charming person. In addition, she always pays very close attention to detail and is in contact with us from beginning to end. Jackie has a special way of calmly and successfully closing a real estate deal. We love working with her.
Joey, a special thank-you for going above and beyond the call of duty time and time again … even on weekends and late at night. Even the lady who handled the closing was surprised at all the extra things Joey was doing for me. Carol, I am forever in your debt for helping me to repair the black mold damage and sell that condo while I was in South America. Your company will forever get my business and my referrals. Joey has been a consummate professional in helping me to rent a house a few months ago, and now buy one. I am so pleased with Joey’s service to me throughout this process. With very much appreciation to both of you.
We can’t say enough good things about working with Patti Tauber to sell our home. We reached out to her when we made the huge decision to sell our Austin home of 46 years and downsize to an apartment in a 55+ community. After helping us set the best date for the house to go on the market, Patti walked us backward to establish a realistic timeline to make that happen. She helped us find an organizer to help us with the sorting, packing, and moving processes as well as an estate sale person. Patti led us through the timeline of preparing all the necessary paperwork and the house work that preceded our home going on the market. Throughout those six months, Patti was detailed-oriented and focused. She always treated us like we were her only clients. She was very sensitive and understanding of our many feelings during this time. What a calming influence she was! And when our home was staged and on the market she helped us pick the best of the 10 offers we received over the next three days. High Fives to Patti for providing such professional and personal care throughout this entire process. We are so grateful for Patti’s help as well as the support of the whole Carol Dochen team to make this sale a reality!
We are thrilled with our new home, thanks to Robin Deshotels. She was friendly, responsive, and outgoing, and made the whole process easy and fun. She got us into the house we wanted within hours of contacting her on a Sunday, and helped us close on it a month later. She is a great realtor and we would recommend her to anyone in the Austin area.
We worked with Nancy Taute to find our house, and she was great. We love the new place, and her advice on the bid to offer was invaluable. Also, she is super-helpful after the sale, and provided us with a lot of pointers about the new area and a list of contractors to use. I’d have no hesitation about recommending her to friends and family, and if we ever buy another house, we’ll turn to her.
Carol and her team are amazing. Carol helped us sell our home and purchase a new one all within 30 days. Buying/selling is daunting and she tirelessly explained the process each step of the way and worked endless hours to guide us through to our final awesome result. Carol and her office are professional, responsive and incredibly friendly.
Carol Dochen’s experience and deep understanding of the local real estate market, together with a full breadth of services to ensure our home was marketed effectively, allowed us to sell it quickly and for the price we wanted. Her talented staging, maintenance and marketing teams ensured our home looked its very best.
Nancy Taute was referred to us by a friend and we are so glad she became our real estate agent. The amount of knowledge she has about selling and buying houses was worth every penny. She is kind, professional, and a great communicator. Nancy answered all of our questions, and we had a lot of them! She helped sell our house for much more than expected and also advocated for us when it came time to buy our new home.
Dana was absolutely incredible to work with. We couldn’t have felt more confident and comfortable going through the process of buying a home. She is super knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and just all around helpful. She also has great resources for pretty much everything you will need help with along the way. Most importantly Dana genuinely cared about us finding the right home for us, and our happiness…that is really amazing. There were multiple offers on our house and Dana still somehow pulled it off for us! She is as good as it gets at her job, and I can’t recommend her enough.
We just purchased out dream home with the dedicated and thoughtful help of Jackie. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, always had a smile, and was remarkably professional in managing the entire process. I would not ask anyone else to help us and have recommended her to everyone that I have spoken with about any real estate needs.
Carol Dochen is the best! We faced the daunting task of cleaning out, selling, and moving from a home we lived in for 17 years – where we raised 3 children. From the first meeting, Carol showed up ready to lead the process and get things done effectively and efficiently. She gave us options that met our needs in terms of timing and how much support we wanted to have from her and her team. Carol managed the details and did everything that needed to be done. The process was one we were dreading, but with Carol at the helm, it ended up being almost effortless on our part. The house was readied and sold quickly and it was all because of the work Carol did and the expertise and professionalism she brought to the process. I would recommend Carol and her team to any potential seller!
Arlene helped us purchase our first home ever and we could not have been more lucky to work with her. She helped us well beyond our expectations and guided us on all things from areas, price competition, home layout, home quality, and much more. We are so happy with the house we found together and we will be referring Arlene to everyone we know buying in the Austin area.
Arlene Maze got us our home! As first-time homebuyers, we were initially intimidated by the whole process, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. Arlene was very understanding and always put our needs first. While we were viewing houses, she took time to explain what to look out for in Austin when it comes to house age, foundation issues, flooring, exterior, etc. Arlene has been living in Texas for many years, so she knew what she was talking about. By the end, we felt comfortable putting in offers with a solid base of knowledge. Because of the crazy market during the pandemic, winning offers was understandably difficult. As this period is completely unprecedented, Arlene kept us aware of what was going on in the broader market and what we might expect a house to go for. We felt that she cared that we were getting a house at a reasonable price and one that we would love. She never pressured us to offer more than we were comfortable with. On top of this, Arlene was great with communication. She never left us hanging and we always felt that we were her top priority. Seeing houses quickly is a must in this market and she made sure that we got the attention we needed. I’d recommend Arlene to any friends or Austinites looking to purchase a home. She’s professional, honest, timely, and knowledgeable. We’re happy homeowners!
Nancy Taute was referred to us by a friend and we are so glad she became our real estate agent. The amount of knowledge she has about selling and buying houses was worth every penny. She is kind, professional, and a great communicator. Nancy answered all of our questions, and we had a lot of them! She helped sell our house for much more than expected and also advocated for us when it came time to buy our new home. We also have to mention that initially we looked at about 15-20 houses with Nancy before deciding to put the sale of our house on hold until after paying off our college debt. After 2.5 years, we reached back out to Nancy and picked up right where we left off. She did not hesitate to provide the same great service she did prior. You won’t be disappointed with this real estate agent. She’s a gem.
