Still have a question?
Send it to our team and a local agent who knows your street will write back within one business day.
01
How much does it cost to sell my home?
One flat 5.5% total listing fee, paid only when your home sells. It covers pricing, pro photos, a 3D tour, marketing and negotiation, with no upfront costs.
02
Do buyers pay anything to work with you?
No. Our buyer service is free. Search alerts, viewings, offer strategy and closing support are paid for by the seller's side at closing.
03
Do you also manage rentals and HOAs?
Yes. Our management team handles tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance and HOA board support for a flat fee. Most clients start with a purchase and add management later.
04
Can you help me sell a home I currently rent out?
Yes. We plan showings around your tenant's lease, can sell with the tenant in place to an investor, or prepare the home for market once it is vacant. One agent handles both sides of the move.
05
Which areas of Austin do you cover?
Greater Austin, from Downtown and Barton Creek to Westlake Hills, Lakeway and Round Rock. Every listing is visited by an agent who lives or works within twenty minutes of it.
06
How quickly can you list my property for sale or rent?
Most homes go live within five working days: one day for the walkthrough, two for photos and the floor plan, and two to write the listing and set the price with you.
