Testimonials

Alya De

I had an amazing experience working with Brooke Steele. She's knowledgeable and thorough; we viewed oh so many houses before I found the right one, and she was there every step of the way, friendly, always responsive and patient with my million questions. Thank you!

Grant & Kristi

Brooke is extremely knowledgeable of the greater Austin [including Dripping Springs, Kyle, Buda, etc]. She has access to a vast pool of buyers. She is very patient and methodical. I had been in contact with Brooke for over a year before we listed our house. When we were ready to put our house on the market Brooke had our house sold before a sign went up and far above what we expected. Brooke also helped us find our new home (a new build) not even a month after we started surveying the market with her which was also an incredible value for the location. Both transactions were timed perfectly and my wife and I could not be happier. Working both ends of a real estate deal can be extremely stressful, especially in this market and Brooke made it more or less a breeze.

Roger

I would give Brooke an A+. I found her very pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable, resourceful, and extremely prompt answering emails even during non-working hours.

Donald Hamilton

My experience with Brooke was phenomenal, she was informative, professional, extremely helpful, not just with me but she was especially helpful with Carolyn who was living in the home and decided it was time to move. I’m sure there are more good words for the great job that Brooke did and she deserves all of them! Efficient is a good one, the whole process from start to finish was so smooth it’s hard to believe it’s over.

Brian Anderson

We are retired in Chattanooga TN and selling my Austin property was the single biggest financial transaction of my life and critical to my retirement plans. Having Brooke there to take care of this sale was like having a trusted, reliable, extremely capable, and skilled family member managing everything for us. It was a stress-free process that we never gave another thought to after we handed it over to Brooke. 

Vanessa and Javier

Brooke Steele has helped us buy our home in Austin. We are new owners, and we didn't have any experience purchasing a house before. She was very patient with us. She is very professional and sweet. She answered every question that we had and gave us referrals for lots of services that we may need. We highly recommend Brooke as a realtor.

Gonzalo Trillos

We, Gonzalo and Isabel Trillos, are very impressed with Brook Steele. She is a very professional person. She was very helpful to us in our transition from selling our house in New Braunfels and getting our future one in Dripping Springs. Thank you very much.

Jennifer Dillie

Brooke Steele was absolutely amazing to work with! She was very communicative with us throughout the entire process and always kept us informed. She is a super sweet person, and we will definitely work with her again for any future real estate needs.

Penny Martin

Brooke guided me through the sale of my condo and the purchase of my home during a pandemic and a major storm disaster! As soon as I contacted her, she got to work analyzing my needs, researching my condo property, and searching for a home where I could care for my medically fragile daughter. She was tireless, patient, competent, reassuring, organized, and the " ultimate" professional. We were able to transition from the condo to our home due to her daily contact and use of resources. We are in our new home, and she's still reaching out to me for any help I might need. There aren't really enough of the correct superlatives to describe my experience with Brooke. She goes above and beyond ordinary realty service. Realty Austin is fortunate to have her as a part of their team.

Doug Yoder

Brooke did a great job dealing with the crazy Austin real estate market and helping us get the house ready for sale. We are a bit "old school" when it comes to staging, but she did a great job with that, and the photos looked fantastic! As for the sale price, what can I say?! We bought at the right time and sold at the right time! Kudos to Brooke!

Adam Bozich

Brooke Steele was extremely helpful and helped me get a home I'm very happy with. I am a first time home buyer, and she was excellent at explaining everything to me and guiding me through this process. If I ever need to buy another home, I'd certainly want her to be my Realtor, and I'd recommend her to anyone looking at buying a home.

Melanie Black

Brooke Steele was our Realty Austin agent. She was very knowledgeable of our area when placing our house for sale. She suggested a price range that was fair and allowed for a quick sale. She is backed by a host of other professionals that helped her obtain the most for our home. In addition, she is a truly nice person and wants the best for her clients. I highly recommend Brooke.

Shannon Ferguson

Working with Brooke was such a delight. She was always ready to answer my never-ending questions with kindness and patience. It truly was a pleasure to have Brooke guide me through the process of selling my home. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to relocate. She's just the best!

Joanna Hobbs

Brooke was so great to work with! We moved from out of state, and she made the home buying process easy and enjoyable! Even with COVID, she helped us virtually tour the homes and allowed us to better make a purchase choice! We are so happy with our new home and couldn't have done it without Brooke's care and compassion! She truly excelled and exceeded our expectations! Thank you, Brooke!

Bryan Neary

The entire process from beginning to end went smoothly. Brooke is a great communicator and gave valuable feedback in helping us through the entire selling process. Brooke was very detailed, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. When it comes time to sell my house, Brooke will be the first on my list.

Remle Crowe

Brooke Steele made my first home buying experience smooth and stress-free. Initially, I was nervous about buying a house. Brooke immediately put me at ease and provided so many great resources to help me to understand the process. She took the time to answer ALL of my questions and guided me the whole way. She made hunting for the perfect place a breeze, setting up and adjusting my search criteria as often as I requested. Then, she helped me wade the waters of negotiation pain-free. Brooke is incredibly responsive, clearly loves her work, cares about her clients, and goes above and beyond with a smile. I cannot thank her enough, and I highly recommend working with Brooke!

Gail and Phillip Pine

Brooke Steele was wonderful to work with!!! She went above and beyond to help us in any possible way. This has been particularly helpful with us living in Mississippi and not being able to check on some details with the building of our new home. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Austin area.

Alejandra

As a first time home buyer, I had no idea what I was doing and Brooke was so patient and willing to hold my hand during the whole process. She went above and beyond and did it all with a smile on her face. I would recommend her to anyone trying to buy a house in this crazy market. She definitely kept my family and I sane.

Glen Vo

We tremendously enjoyed working with Brooke. She was very communicative throughout our renting and home-buying process. She exhibits very professional and personable behavior that had my wife, son and I feel very welcomed in a new city. She was also very thorough in her assistance while allowing us autonomy to make our own decisions regarding home buying. I would not hesitate to use Brooke again in the future if we were to buy another home, and would definitely recommend her to family and friends.

Jillian Fox

I would absolutely love to share a few thoughts that I had about working with Brooke to purchase our house. Brooke was phenomenal to work with! She came recommended to us from some friends, and we couldn't have been happier. My husband and I are first-time home buyers, and Brooke made the process seamless. She guided us through every step of the process and made the whole thing a breeze. She was amazing to find out about our house when it wasn't even on the market, she met us to go see it the same day, and helped us close in exactly 20 days! It was crazy, but Brooke made it possible. She connected with us on a professional and personal level, and I feel like I want to be her friend now! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Elizabeth and Richard Ries

Brooke is a fantastic Realtor. She never blinked an eye at any request. She showed us as many homes as we wanted when we wanted and suggested homes for us as well. As a result, we found our Austin dream home. She is such a warm, friendly person with a great sense of humor which made the driving around Austin looking for homes fun. She was always our advocate, even after we had an accepted offer. I cannot recommend Brooke highly enough!

Melissa Wood

Brooke Steele was more than a real estate agent for my family and I. We were purchasing our first home and traveling 2,000 miles away from all of our friends and family. The Austin market was crazy hot when we needed to purchase our home, properties would be placed on the market for hours and receive over asking price by eight interested buyers, we also had a very short timeline. My husband was recently accepted as a resident at Seton Brackenridge for emergency medicine. With the market being so 'hot' my husband and I were fearful we would be moving across county with our two little girls without being able to obtain our dream of becoming home owners. If we didn't have Brooke, that may have been the case. We flew to Austin to house hunt for three short days. Each day Brooke had scheduled several viewings for us, picked us up at our hotel, and genuinely advocated for us. We were so grateful that Brooke had the foresight to call on a home not yet listed in our desired location. On our very last day in the Austin area and as the very last viewed home, Brooke pulled some strings for us to be able to see, what ended up being, our dream home. The owners were going to list it above our budget, but Brooke was able to perform a little magic and convince them to price the property within our means. We had only walked through the property and spent approximately 10 minutes inside but my husband and I knew we had found our home! We left Austin with knots in our stomachs unsure what was going to happen. Would we be in an apartment with two little ones under the age of two? (A neighbor's nightmare.) We had promised our girls we would find them a 'pretty house in Austin Texas,' our hearts were heavy, unsure we would be able to fulfill that promise. After we had landed going back home Brooke contacted us telling us the buyers we interested in entertaining our offer. Everything went through beautifully from then on! Our home was moved into prior to our girls flying in with family. They got a pretty house in Austin Texas! We have been moved in for about four months now and we have already created so many wonderful memories in this home, my baby took her first steps here, and we will celebrate her first birthday in this home. I could never put into words what an amazing gift and experience buying our first home has been. Brooke is more than a realtor to our family. After we were settling in Brooke also helped us get a security system, making me feel safe with my two babies far away from home. Brooke always went above and beyond for our family, if we move there is no hesitation in my mind, she will be our first call!

Penny Martin

Brooke exemplifies everything an agent should strive to be. From the beginning, she recognized that I wasn't just selling a house. I was letting go of the nest where I raised my family. She was supportive, sensitive, informative and efficient. Throughout the whole process, I felt confident that I could count on her to represent my best interests. Brooke was promptly available to answer my questions and to share the progress of the sale. At the closing, I felt joy instead of the sadness I had anticipated at the beginning of this journey. I have already recommended Brooke to 4 of my friends. I hope they will choose her to help them. I'm looking forward to finding my new nest with Brooke's capable help. She is a treasure!

Jimmy

Thanks for everything Brooke. You were an amazing help with everything and made a stressful process really fun! If we have any other real estate needs, we will contact you of course.

Jennifer

Brooke Steele did a fantastic job listing and selling my home! It was only on the market for three days before I had multiple offers and the closing was not far behind. The whole process from the photography to document signing with the title company went smoothly thanks to Brooke. I would recommend her to friends, family and anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Jillian and Jason Kozlowski

Let me start by saying that before we knew for certain that my husband was being transferred from Michigan here to Texas we began a preliminary search for homes in the area to get acquainted with the housing climate. Your Realty Austin website was by far the most user-friendly website available. So naturally I began to go to that as a first resource. Shortly after, Brooke reached out to me via email and phone to check in and see how our search was going and to offer any help. My initial impression of her was that of a genuine person interested in helping, not just someone wanting to make a sale. As time went on we knew for certain that we would be moving here and Brooke had still been offering assistance to us along the way. However, we were assigned a relocation management team to help coordinate things for us whom also assigned us a real estate agent. We were growing less and less satisfied with the assigned agent, and since Brooke had made a good impression and seemed eager to work with us we asked to have her assigned to us instead. She began to help us with our search criteria and on short notice she also set aside much of her Holiday weekend (Memorial Day) to devote her time to helping us view homes during our only trip down to the area. She was very personable, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We felt comfortable trusting her opinion and never felt pressured one way or another. We finally settled on a house to make an offer on and Brooke was awesome throughout the entire process. From helping us decide on an offer, to negotiating, to finalizing the deal, we were more than pleased with her service. She offered great recommendations for services that we needed to have done at the house and even offered to meet some of those people at the house while we were still out of state. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brooke to anyone in need of realty services and she would certainly be my very first call if/when we needed someone in the future.

Ramiro Alcala

Brooke and her assistant Tara were amazing! The best decision throughout this entire home purchase process was deciding to team up with the two. Brooke never hesitated to take time out of her day to make herself available for us. She was very responsive, always answering any of our questions and concerns with no delay. Brooke was knowledgeable throughout every step of the way, providing us with the quick responses that we needed. Tara was equally as professional. She has a great personality that allowed us to work well together. Tara embraced everything we said. She understood what we were looking for in a home. Tara worked extremely hard looking out for us, and it showed. We appreciate the time Tara spent with us, and she never hesitated to meet. Brooke and Tara make a great team, and my family thanks both of them deeply. They found our family home.

Ryan V.

My husband and I just closed on our new house, and I can't say thank you enough to our agent, Brooke Steele, for all her time and effort. We moved to Austin from Ft. Lauderdale with a baby. Not sure where we wanted to buy, Brooke helped us find a short-term rental property while we were still in Florida. After a long drive from Florida to Texas, Brooke welcomed us with the most delicious chocolate cupcakes. When it came time to search for homes, Brooke was always on top of things...from setting up showings to reassuring me that we would find the perfect house. She is very professional and knowledgeable. Despite purchasing a brand new home, Brooke still recommended that we hire someone to complete a home inspection. I am so thankful we did because the inspector caught some very important things that average Joe would have missed. Brooke and her family even had us over for a barbecue; so sweet (and the brisket was delicious)! On closing day, everything went so smoothly and was a piece of cake. Thank you so much to Realty Austin and especially Brooke Steele for all you did!

Brian Hunicke, Google Review

Brooke Steele was great to work with when we were looking for houses in Round Rock. She took a lot of time to get to know us and what we were looking for. I really appreciate how she reached out to get to know our daughter as well.

Mikhail P.

I had great pleasure working with Brooke. She is dedicated, always on top of everything and ready to answer any question I might have. During the time I worked with her she was very professional and made herself available anytime I needed something. She went out of her way to thoroughly explain every detail and keep me informed about every step of the process. I had some experience buying property in few countries and so far I must say Brooke is probably the best agent I worked with. Overall, two big thumbs up to Brooke!

Brenda Briones

Brooke did a very good job as our Realtor. We moved to Austin, from Mexico, two years ago, so we were not aware of many things related to the process of buying a home. Brooke always made sure that we understood every stage of the process and offered her help and advise with things we didn't understand or were not very knowledgeable about. Brooke definitely made the process less stressful.

Penny Martin

Brooke sold my home for me back in December and, she did a fantastic job in helping me find my recently purchased condo. I appreciate Brooke's professionalism, dedication, and personalized attention and Brooke sets the bar for what an ideal Realtor would give to their clients. This whole process has been an emotional roller coaster for me. Brooke was my calm anchor in the storm and never hesitated to provide the information or assistance I required promptly and reassuringly. I feel blessed she was there for my daughter-in-law and me during this challenging time in my life!

Jennifer V., Yelp Review

We just moved to Austin, and wanted to buy a house. We found Realty Austin on Yelp, and worked with Brooke Steele. She was very friendly and willing to help us with any concerns. We bought a new-brand house, so it took a long time before we moved in. During the time of waiting, she often contacted with us to update on house process. We were very happy to work with her. We would highly recommend Brooke Steele to anyone who is looking for houses.

Michelle Verna

Brooke Steele was our Realtor for simultaneous sale and purchase. We could not have done it without Brooke! She kept me sane through all the stress and ups and downs! She was incredibly thorough, and I felt total trust in her throughout the entire process. I don't know how someone who can keep their finger on so many pulses at once! I am so thankful for Brooke, so pleased with my sale price, and delighted with my new home. Anyone would be so lucky as to work with Brooke. Listen to her advice; she knows Austin and real estate like the back of her hand!

Jimmy LS

We worked with Brooke Steele, and she sold our home in less than two days for our asking price! We could not be happier with the service that Brooke and Realty Austin provided us.

A. B. Walters

Brooke Steele is the most wonderful Realtor on the face of the planet. She is smart, sweet, and diplomatic but does not allow others in the real estate industry to push her around. Several of the people that I have dealt within the real estate business are horrible people, and she has been a breath of fresh air.

Viony and Chad

My husband and I worked with Brooke Steele at Realty Austin. We relocated to Austin from NC and required help getting acquainted with the area we were looking to live. During a google search of Austin homes, I came across the Realty Austin website and mobile app. I downloaded the app and saved a few searches. Through the app, Brooke reached out to me about whether we needed assistance with our search and if we needed a realtor. She was very helpful during our search. I told her what we were looking for, which vicinity we were looking at, and even sent her some homes we were interested in walking once we arrived in Austin during our house hunting trip. Brooke drove us around the area, showed us about 15 homes, and during that time, we found our house! After putting an offer on the house, Brooke was very helpful in the due diligence, making sure the paperwork was correct and that we didn't miss anything. Brooke left us a welcome gift at our new home, which was a nice personal touch! She also provided us with recommendations of local contacts, such as doctors and favorite restaurants! We had a great experience with Brooke and we highly recommend working with her. Thanks, Brooke, for all of your help!

Blanca

This was our fourth home and given purchase was in such a competitive market, I was expecting a long and arduous process. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly we were able to find a home with Brooke's guidance. She listened to what I wanted and honed in on homes that really met my criteria. Brooke was readily accessible and I felt she leaned on others in her firm when she needed to ensure we had the best outcome. We are considering our first investment property later this year and we are certain to work with Brooke again.

Lisa and Cameron

Brooke went above and beyond to help us find our home in Austin. She is awesome at her job and would highly recommend her.

Luis Chang

I only have great words about Brooke and the service overall. From the outset she was helpful, and service oriented. Brooke provided all the information I needed, and during the whole process, I never felt pressured. The relationship was warm and informal, and yet cordial and respectful. In the end, we got the house we wanted at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend Brooke when the opportunity comes.

Brian Anderson

We can't say enough about Brooke and will be referring people to her whenever we can. Every step of the way, she was pleasant, professional and responsive.

Latoya Racquel

I worked with Brooke Steele and I can’t thank her enough for holding my hand throughout my first home buying experience. She was responsive and patient the entire time. Every question I could think of, I knew I had a go-to person to get a clear cut answer. I never for one second felt like a burden or a bother to her, nor did I feel rushed or pressured. She made it possible for me to view every home I requested, working around my work schedule. I placed several offers, and she was swift to contact listing agents and submit a written offer for consideration. On the day of closing, she was genuinely happy for me as a person. I never felt like a means to an end. Even after closing, I know that I can call on her for any questions or concerns.

Contact Brooke to help you with your next home.
