Testimonials

Jan Boula

There are no words to describe how grateful we are for working with Larry Gilman as our realtor. He went more then above and beyond to get us the house my family dreamed about. I don't know anyone else who is so committed to providing excellent service like he is. He is truly the star. It was a sprint that became 14 months marathon for him, and we did it. He did it, he was there for us all that time. Story below. We started to look for the house sometime in April 2021 - the worst possible time. We knew that looking for an older house would be very stressful with all the bidding wars and waived inspections - I did not want to go through this. I wanted to focus on new builds with builder without bidding wars. Our first meeting with Larry lasted several hours. We drove through different areas with new constructions where Larry leveraged his previous building experience and explained differences in construction by different builders. I am quite knowledgeable, but I learned from him in 2 hours more than in past 20 years. We settled on the neighborhood I was interested in, and we waited for Priority lists to be open. We got lucky and signed the contract on June 2021 for a new house. Since that time, we met with Larry on weekly basis to monitor progress. No matter if it was raining or 110 degrees, sometimes early in the morning, sometimes at night. With all the construction delays, our original closing date moved from January 2022 to June 2022. All this time, Larry did all he could to ensure our house is built up to standards. He did follow up with builder/sales when concerns arose. When we finally closed on our house 2 weeks ago, we were so happy. It was also a bit sad moment. We spent so much time with Larry over the past year that we became friends, and now his job is done, I will not get to see him every week. I hope that he will stop by and say hi when he is in the area. I will always be happy to see him.

I'd like to thank and recommend Larry Gilman for all the assistance he provided while selling my Cedar Park townhouse. With him as my realtor, I felt his honesty and knowledge of the market allowed me to cease worrying about preparing to stage and show my property and that any situations that might have presented themselves would have been remedied by him. Throughout the whole process, Larry continued to follow up and advise me every step of the way with buyers, title companies, mortgage companies, HOA, and notaries since I am located out of state, setting up phone calls and verifying appointments with notaries. His continued update on the progress of the sale or timely answering of questions that I posed shows that he is a committed realtor and shows passion for both his work and his clients. The sale went smoothly and this whole process was stress-free for me. I am ever grateful.

Darla Peek

I cannot say enough good things about Larry Gilman!! He has been our advocate throughout this process. He has gone above and beyond since the beginning, including sending us photos of the home every Friday during the build process, following up with our builder, mortgage company, title company, and new home consultant when needed. Larry was there for us at the walks, closing, and anytime I called him with concerns. I already sent him a referral and will continue to do so. I wouldn’t have wanted to take this journey with anyone else. Truly The Best of The Best!!

Larry Gilman of Realty Austin is an amazing Realtor. Ever since we started using him, he has become more of a friend. We used him on three different occasions, and all those times, he exceeded our expectations. He used his vast experience working in construction by finding out what issues the houses had even before we hired an inspector. He is trustworthy, reliable and really cares about finding the best home for you. We recommend him to all our friends.

Travis Ray

Great experience working with Larry Gilman, especially as first-time home buyers. Larry always responded quickly when we had questions and made sure we were comfortable with all the information he provided. He worked with us through every step of the way and even followed up to see if he could help get our builder to complete the last few remaining fixes. Larry made the entire process much less stressful than we expected and helped us get everything we wanted!

When hiring someone, I look for character, competence, and communication ability. Realtor Larry Gilman earned five stars in all three and went "above and beyond" in many ways. I chose Larry on the recommendation of my daughter and her husband, who kept running into him at open houses and were impressed. Since I was living in Maryland, I began working online and by phone with Larry to find a home in Austin. I was very pleased with his clear, straightforward communications. He is very experienced and sent me information, including pictures or videos, of houses I found on Zillow and other websites. He took my daughter to see houses I was interested in and went to open houses on my behalf. I thought I'd found "my" home, bid on it and won. Larry smoothly led me through all the paperwork and negotiations, and through the time I withdrew my bid because of inspection results. I then mentioned to Larry that I was moving to Austin to continue the search. He found me a great rental house and even did the walk-through inspection with my daughter. Larry was eager to show me any houses I asked about and other houses because he has amazing resources. He knows northern Austin and clearly loves his work. He spotted a For Sale sign as soon as it went up, called me immediately (knowing it was just what I was looking for), assisted with negotiations, handled the paperwork and contacts, and now I'm a happy homeowner. Larry Gilman's decades of real estate experience and construction know-how were invaluable, helping me make the right decisions and avoid costly mistakes. He's a dedicated professional who is eager to help and is unfailingly pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Larry, whether you're local or out-of-state, as he'll make your home-buying experience as smooth and productive as possible.

Larry has great local knowledge, understands the market condition, understands your requirements, and does thorough research. He also has proactive communication skills throughout the process, consistently recommends properties to your requirements, and does not hesitate to recommend areas where buyers may not have explored before. We have closed on properties with Larry. The overall experience has been very trustworthy and satisfying. Going through the buying experiences with Larry, I can say we found great properties, and we also have a great friend.

Larry is a well-informed Realtor, and he guided me through a seller's market to get a house that fulfilled all our needs and within the budget. When I decided to renovate the home, he was on site almost every day and checked on work with the contractor. He helped me negotiate and settle with contractors too. He was there at every step, from initial contact until we moved in, and he kept checking on me even after that. It was a completely professional experience I had with Larry. I will not be changing my Realtor anymore, as I have Larry.

H. Vasquez

This had to be the most simple process using Larry. He is not only the best Realtor and extremely knowledgeable, but he also became our friend through the process. I would recommend him to anyone in the market for a house. He goes above and beyond to get a deal done and keeps you informed beyond just the closing date. Thanks, Larry!

I had to sell my mother's property that was far from where I live. He understood my situation and got the job done. He found the surveyors, HVAC contractors, inspectors, etc. that were needed to make the sale. He explained the process and kept me informed of the progress of the sale. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a professional real estate agent.

Leed Rummer

Larry quickly dealt with some unforeseen problems and was a great source of information for any of the questions we had. Even though we were a little out of his normal territory, he quickly got our property sold. He will definitely be my first call when I need a Realtor again! Great guy, great attitude, overall great experience!

Roy Pena

Larry was the BEST to work with! He knew that I was scared about buying a home. He walked me through each step of the process and made it so easy and calming. I trust him so much I referred him to two other friends and they used him. I trust him and will use him for all of my future home buying or selling needs.

Susan G. Pelzer

Lawrence is a highly knowledgeable agent who is invested in providing personalized care to each client. He went above and beyond in selling my home and helping me find a new home. He offered information and support to help me make decisions both in selling my home and finding my new home. His sense of humor turned a stressful situation into a manageable one.

I've bought and sold 6 or 7 times now, and I've encountered essentially two kinds of Realtors: truly exceptional and not-so-great. Larry absolutely exists in the truly exceptional group. He's knowledgeable, approachable, friendly, and a real pro. Even better, throughout the sale, he was always immediately available whenever I had questions or concerns. With this in mind, I give Larry my highest recommendation and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Liz Arredondo

Larry was awesome for us. He was so knowledgeable about everything. Since we had our house built, he was there for every step of the way. We especially appreciated his valuable input when the salespeople were trying to have us upgrade things that weren't worth the price hike. For example, they wanted to charge $300 for a ceiling fan, but if you skip it, you can buy a nice, brand new fan for $150 and install it yourself. Installing it was easier, considering the house already came pre-wired for fans. My fiance used his disabled veteran status to go through the entire VA process of purchasing a house. Thankfully, Larry already knew the ins and outs of the process. You will not regret working with Larry.

I got in touch with Larry at an open house that Larry was hosting. When I asked him to help me with buying my new home, he was very helpful in finding the right home within budget. What actually sets him apart is that he takes ownership of the entire project until you move into your new house. He helped me find the right contractor, he personally monitored the work, even when I was traveling for my job. I knew I had a dependable agent who will take care of my interest. Thank you, Larry, for helping us find the right home.

Burrion K.

Larry knows his business and makes it fun at the same. Larry is always the first person I go to for a real estate transaction, representation, or even just advice. He has helped me many times in the past and will always be my go-to-Realtor when the deal has to get done and done right! Top-notch customer service and an experience level that makes a difference. If you want the best, call Larry today.

Tracey R.

Larry helped me find a new home and sell my old home. He was always willing to meet me if I saw something I was interested in. He had a way of making me feel at ease in the buying process. Once we moved into our new home, he helped fix up my old home so we could sell and get the best price possible. I am so appreciative of Larry and his helpful nature. I never worried once because I knew he had everything under control. I have recommended him to others because he is looking out for your best interest. If I ever were to move again, I would not hesitate and call Larry Gilman! A great guy, hard worker, and terrific Real Estate Agent.

Maribeth M.

Larry has been a terrific help with searching options and market analysis when purchasing a new home. His knowledge of the Austin area and trends in housing helped focus and concentrate on neighborhood choices. This tremendously helps a newcomer adjust and know they get the best value for their money. Larry is not just dedicated and diligent in his passion for his work, and he has this way of making the stress of house hunting really fun and enjoyable! Larry will always be personal and attentive, and his help will be one of the best experiences you will have to find a new home.
