Rosalia Chiu - Testimonials

I am highly satisfied with Rosalia Chiu’s performance. When I first found her information via the Internet, I sent her an email to ask some general information. She not only responded quickly via email but she immediately called me and introduced herself. 



She is quick to respond and is knowledgeable, honest and fair -- no false promises from her. She takes the time to explain things (market values/analysis) and keeps me updated on a weekly basis. She did exactly what needed to be done to market and sale the house. She knows the market, she crunches numbers for me, and she knows how to stage the home. She is not afraid to tell me what needed to be done under the circumstances. She also uses every channel of her network to get my home out there and to get buyers to the house. She definitely gets results! She is hard-working and is certainly a valuable asset to any company.

Rosalia Chiu, Realty Austin, did an outstanding job in helping us find a wonderful lot on Lake Travis. She listened very attentively to our desires and did a great job showing us what was available. We were out of town buyers, therefore it was very important to us that our search was very efficient and Rosalia made sure we did not waste our limited time. She also took the initiate to set up appointments for several builders to evaluate lot building suitability which was critical to our decision. She was also very helpful and knowledge during the closing process. We highly recommend Rosalia if you are looking for a real estate agent. She did an outstanding job for us!

by Jerome P. at Yelp

I would strongly recommend Rosalia Chiu to any future home buyer. As an anxious first-time home buyer, Rosalia diligently worked with us as we built our dream home. She helped us select the land lot and identify upgrades and amenities, all within our budget, that would result in a high resell value. In addition, she provided educational articles on various loan options and outlined the pros and cons to each option we were considering. Rosalia was also instrumental in resolving issues we encountered with appraiser and loan institution. Even after our closing, Rosalia has continued to provide us with resource guides, such as information on homestead exemption. Rosalia is detail-oriented, intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the real estate industry. Any future buyer would be fortunate to have her as their realtor.

by Billy at Yahoo!

We had a wonderful experience with our realtor, Rosalia Chiu. She bent over backwards to make herself available to us and was a great communicator. She was very patient while my husband and I went back and forth on our decisions and always had great advice. Rosalia is not only knowledgeable about the real estate market, but on the finance side as well. We couldn't be more pleased with her and would highly recommend her to anyone. 

by Tyler at Google

Rosalia Chiu helped us get our dream home! Thank you Rosalia. It was a long road and she was very helpful throughout the entire process. We also had an unconventional loan and she helped us communicate with all the parties involved, getting answers when we couldn't. It's been so great having a realtor who is so available and proactive. We have had Rosalia as a realtor for the purchase of 2 homes and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a helpful and hardworking agent who will make the sometimes bumpy road to home ownership seem like a walk in the park!

by Carrie at Google

Rosalia was recommended to us by a friend after Rosalia helped her successfully sold her house for over list price in a very competitive market.

As first home buyers, my wife and I did not have a feel of what kind of house we should buy. In addition, I am sensitive to a lot of chemicals and odors so our choices were very limited.

Rosalia was very helpful and patient in guiding us and finally helped us find our dream home. She is highly experienced and knowledgeable, always available and reliable to solve any problems we encountered during and even after our closing. Certainly she is the BEST realtor, I highly recommend her to help anyone buy or sell real estate in Austin !

by HTang at Citysearch

Rosalia Chiu is a very professional realtor to help me to buy and sell my property at Austin. She is very responsible to follow all process/plan and further provide recommendation and reference that I need. For my case that I am not physically based in Austin, but she can help out all needs and communicate effectively to get job well done. She could even take more responsibility to coordinate all for smooth movement. I can buy and sell my property with 100% accountability on her. What a service. She is not only a great realtor, but also a helpful friend. Great job. I strongly recommend you get in touch with her for any help.

Joe Chen, VP of Sales in China (Buyer & Seller)

Rosalia has restored my trust in realtors and caused me to believe that choosing the right realtor can make all the difference in the world when it comes to selling your home. Rosalia is dedicated, hard-working, knowledgeable, thorough, professional and honest. She was instrumental in helping us list our home at a price that was a good return for us but still sold quickly, even during a slow selling season. Other homes in the area were still sitting there with their old "For Sale" signs, while the sign in our yard moved to "Sale Pending" and then "Sold". I am convinced that the difference was Rosalia. She constantly kept us informed of the showings and the potential buyers, which assured me she was working hard for us. She really went beyond my expectations when she took steps to rectify a problem with a neighboring yard which was affecting the appeal of the neighborhood. We didn't even have to ask her to look into it. She understands the real estate market and knows how to sell a home quickly but for a good price. I would not hesitate to use Rosalia again. I can't imagine that I would ever find a better realtor.

B.J. Kolthoff, Assistant Director, UT Information Technology (Seller)

I have to admit, selling a condo in Austin near campus after the school year started was not promising for me, yet somehow, out of the blue, Rosalia gets a buyer. The credit market is horrible, banks are not loaning money without every “I” dotted, yet she pushed everyone to get the data on the condo complex correct, including me. She is determined to sell real estate, and she does it very professionally. I would recommend her to anyone who has property to sell. Who sells a UT area condo in November with no tenants? Rosalia!

Gary Wylie, Professional Engineer, Business Owner (Seller)

It was sheer luck the day when Rosalia came to my door as I was preparing my townhouse to be placed on the market. As it happened she was touring the neighborhood that day with a prospective buyer. Rosalia worked out for me a "For Sale By Owner" contract and saved me a great deal of cash. This meant that Rosalia would primarily be representing the buyer and saving me a few percentage points on the brokerage fee. Rosalia however went far beyond what was required to guide me through the process. Rosalia "tailor made" a final package that left me and my buyer completely satisfied. She made herself available day and night with information, meeting scheduling, buyer/seller negotiation and legal help. My townhouse was undergoing major renovation both inside and out during the sale. Rosalia became the main contact for me, the HOA, the buyer, the construction contractors, the title company and helped to smooth out a great number of issues between all involved. Rosalia did all this with professionalism and competence that is truly rare. There was nothing but 100% focus on her part and made all of us feel that we were her only clients though she had other contracts pending. Rosalia has probably excelled at everything she has done but I believe she was custom made for selling homes. Rosalia Chiu is nothing short of the gold standard by which other real estate agents should aspire. I for one am entirely grateful.

Rosalia ROCKS!

C. D. Burnitt - Business Owner (Seller - For Sale by Owner)

We are investors from California who could not possibly have successfully constructed then sold a duplex in Austin without Rosalia. We met her by chance through an ad for an empty lot in the Austin paper, and ever since our first meeting with her, she has gone above and beyond our expectations in terms of educating us about the local market and representing us in our first duplex project. She worked tireless to help us through the entire process and literally took care of everything, especially when we were not always able to be in Austin physically during the construction. On top of this project, she also made every effort to take us to many different sites every time we were in town so that we could review other investment properties. Our time was never wasted and she made so many resources available to us so that we could become more knowledgeable investors. Even though we knew she was busy with other clients, she always made us feel like we were her most important clients. We particularly appreciated the spreadsheets and other analytical documents she would send with every project that we considered. We have quite a few relationships with other realtors in different cities but Rosalia by far offers superior client service. She is proactive and has a keen eye for details. We cannot recommend anyone more highly than Rosalia. If you want a realtor who is both a perfectionist and a confidante in your corner, then you must call her before your next home sale or purchase!

Larkie Dam and Peter Bui, out-of-state investors (Buyers and Sellers)

Rosalia is an excellent real estate agent. She is professional, dedicated and knowledgable. She sold my house for top dollar within a week during a slow month in the winter while I was out of the country during part of the transaction. She put lots of efforts into staging my home to make it very attractive. She also handled professionally some unexpected events during the transaction to ensure a quick and smooth closing. I will gladly refer her to anyone who is either buying or selling their home.

Lina Lee, Business Owner (Seller)

We feel that we are very lucky to have Rosalia as our realtor. She really went the extra mile to make sure we have a very smooth relocation from Oklahoma within a very tight time frame and budget. She anticipated and was proactive in taking care of every detail for the transition - the loan, closing, movers, kennel for my pets, utilities, even where to order drinking water etc. She followed up with us constantly to make sure we are HAPPY with our home. We ARE ! We highly recommend her services.

The Surbers - Relocation from Oklahoma (Buyer)

I have to give Rosalia KUDOS. I've worked with many real estate agents over the years, buying and selling homes. For most, their goal was to make the sale as quickly as possible. Rosalia is different. Rosalia really listens and understands my needs, she found me my dream home - the one I almost thought didn't exist. She worked with me for 1 year (despite my busy travel schedule) as my needs, as well as the Austin real estate market, changed. As a result of her patience, persistence, excellent market analysis and negotiation skills, I got the best price/performance quality home with a bonus 'million dollar' view. She always said 'You make the money on the buy, not the sell'. She really came through with her "Costco Price, Nordstrom Service" promise for me. I really appreciate her services and friendship.

W.A. Evans - MBA, Financial Analyst (Buyer)

Rosalia made us felt like we are her only customers even though we are first time buyers buying a starter home from a For Sale By Owner seller. She was very patient in explaining the process and holding our hands every step of the way. She made sure both buyers and sellers felt like they have a WIN-WIN during the negotiation. She is very thorough, detail oriented and always have our best interest in mind. We really appreciate her professionalism, knowledge, but most of all how much she cared. We will recommend her to anyone looking into buying or selling a home.

The Silkensons (First time home buyers)

Rosalia far exceeded our expectations for selling our Mother's home so quickly. She met with us briefly and immediately understood our needs and how to market the house for us. She presented us with detailed information and spreadsheets indicating the bottom line we could expect. Within one week we had multiple offers from qualified buyers. We would without doubt recommend Rosalia to anyone needing to sell their home. She kept us apprised of the process every step of the way and completely removed any stress involved. We really appreciate Rosalia's professionalism and friendship.
