Pete Russian

Pete was fantastic! We bought a house in Luling, which is not a short drive, and he didn't bat an eye. He made sure we understood the whole process and was always available to answer any questions I had. 10/10 would highly recommend! 

As always, Pete is amazing! We wouldn’t trust anyone else when selling or buying a home.

Our experience working with Pete was amazing! He really helped us every step of the way and made us feel comfortable and special. He answered all of our questions and gave great advice, and I feel like we couldn’t have done any better with the timing of purchasing our house in this crazy market. He also lobbied for us for a new HVAC at no cost to the buyer, and was generally helpful every step of the way. I would recommend Pete to anyone in a heartbeat! 

Pete Russian is a fabulous realtor and was always willing to help answer questions as we had along the way. He was prompt and flexible with our schedules and very knowledgeable about the process. Highly, highly recommend.

Amazing experience buying with Pete Russian of Realty Austin. Pete’s expertise and skill gave us confidence every step of the way. Highly recommend his services! Additionally, Realty Austin’s website has the best home search tools I’ve seen for the greater Austin area.

My experience working with Pete Russian was unparalleled, he was truly a joy to work with the entire process was simple, consistent, and joyful to say the least..Pete is incredibly professional, courteous & as knowledgeable as a realtor could be..vast knowledge of Austin & Surrounding areas..as well he takes all the hassle out of the rental nightmares in today's ever-changing housing market..I will definitely be referring Pete to anyone who is serious about buying or leasing a home or condo or Apartment..best wishes to your entire team..& kudos again to Pete for helping to make dreams come true!

Coming from California not knowing the area or knowing anyone here in Texas, Pete made that transition very easy for us. Not only was he personable, but very attentive and responsive. We gained a lot of trust with him easily and would 100% recommend him to anyone! In fact, everyone we know that’s moving to Texas or we’ve met in Texas, we are easily sending all the recommendations his way. We love Pete! Thank you Pete for making this experience a memorable one!

Pete, we love him! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. You are the real MVP. Hands down best to ever do it. Give him a promotion, raise! He has been nothing but excellent. Thanks again, Pete! 

Pete is amazing, knowledgeable and just an overall genuine person that provides excellent customer service. He went above and beyond to help us with the purchase of this home. It was a new build which took a year and a half due to the builder, covid, and other things outside of our control but Pete made sure he communicated with us and always made us feel like we were his number one priority. He never hesitated to call the builder and answered every question we had. He was readily available and reassuring to us when things got tough and our patience with the building process was tested. I have purchased two homes with Pete now and sold two homes as well with him and won’t use anyone else. He truly cares about his clients and puts his heart into his work. You can tell he enjoys what he does and that is why I will continue to recommend him to friends and family in the future. He’s truly an asset to your company. 

I would like to thank Pete and Realty Austin team for their patience and perseverance in helping find my family's home. Pete was very professional every step of the way and was very patient. I can't say enough about the service that Pete provided. The greatest compliment I can provide is referring him to someone looking for a property

Our realtor Pete Russian was phenomenal from the very beginning! We ended up having to switch realtors suddenly from a different company while looking for a home in this busy market, and after being referred to Pete by multiple coworkers, I reached out to Pete with questions and help, and he did not hesitate one bit! I got quick responses from him, and he got to work helping us right away, even with having other clients he was helping at the time. He was professional, friendly, and so insightful about the whole home buying process. I learned things from him that I had not from my previous realtor. With the knowledge and tips he provided, he helped us find a home in just two weeks, and then all the steps afterward leading up to closing. I highly recommend Pete to anyone looking to buy or sell. I don’t foresee having to buy or sell anytime soon, but I would not hesitate to use him again. Outstanding all the way around!

Pete Russian was the best decision we could have made for a realtor. He was great. He helped us out so much and found a house fast, and was never rushed. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor.

Pete Russian is the best you have at Realty Austin. This is the second house we have used Pete for, and his attention to detail, honesty, integrity, and communication is just top-notch. He is the smoothest part of the home buying and/or selling process. I knew we could always count on him to reach out and keep on top of our sale and paperwork. I can get anxious about stressful things, and I could always count on Pete to have the answer or reassurances to ease my mind. He is very educated on the market trends and all the real estate ins and outs! Keep hold of Pete. He's one of the good ones!

I want to thank Pete for helping us find a beautiful home. We lost so many bids. We almost gave up, but Pete didn't give up, especially when we couldn't be there to see the house ourselves. Pete shot the video with a very detailed description of the house. He went the extra mile to visit every house we want to see. He is very professional and patient. He responded to our email and text message even at 10 pm Texas time. Pete fought for us to get the maximum refund from the seller for the minor damage from the house. Pete is one of the best brokers in Austin, in my opinion. I will refer my Friend to Pete when possible.  

This review is especially for Pete Russian. He is one of the best Realtors we have ever worked with. Due to COVID, we couldn't come in person to see the home we were buying, but Pete was with us every step of the way. From recording detailed videos of the house, to diligently following up on every small question we had, he is one of the best Realtors, and we are so very grateful and thankful for his support.

Pete is a pleasure to work with. I have never worked with a more awesome Realtor than Pete. He has all the elements that make a great Realtor: trust, knowledge, patience, and foresight. He has always treated me like I am his only customer and has given me 100% attention with all my messages, phone calls, and immediate queries. I rely heavily on his expertise in the Austin area, and I feel he is really well versed with whatever he does. Also, he is detail-oriented, focused, and highly ethical when making decisions on your behalf. I highly recommend him for his expertise in the area and thank him for all the help that he has provided.

Pete is not just our Realtor but also a very good friend of ours from years ago. We "discovered" him because he left his business card at our doorstep one day and so my husband decided to contact him because, at that time, we were going to sell our house. From then on, we have been using him as our family Realtor, and in fact, we just recently bought land somewhere, and he was the one who processed everything for us. Pete is a very nice person. He is personable and honest to his clients. One thing that he does for us is when we request for some deeper information about the history of the properties we buy, he delivers. He is also very good at letting us know the pros and cons of each property we are purchasing. If we have questions, he would always tell us honestly if he still needs to investigate, and then he always lets us know what he finds out. He also helps recommend people/contractors who are good at doing some projects too, which is really helpful for us buyers, especially if we are in an area wherein we are not familiar with who is there (handymen, etc.) He is an asset to Realty Austin because of his greatness in customer service, always going above and beyond. Overall, I can say that Pete is really a very good and well-informed Realtor. He definitely knows what he is doing, and we will always be using his expertise whenever we can or whenever we need to and will always be grateful for all the help he does for us. I would definitely recommend him if anyone is trying to find a good Realtor. He is that 5 stars kinda guy!

Pete Russian was a personable, professional, and accommodating Realtor. I would use him again without reservation.

My wife and I recently purchased our first home through Realty Austin. Pete Russian was our agent. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant to work with. He was always on the ball looking to help us or send us suggestions. I would highly recommend Pete to anyone looking for a home or selling for that matter. Pete has earned a client for life here.

Pete Russian is extremely knowledgeable and a consummate professional. He quickly answered all my questions and addressed any concerns I had throughout my fast-moving real estate transaction. We had a full price offer within hours of listing! I highly recommend Pete and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

This was our first house purchase, and we had a ton of questions. We went with Pete Russian on a recommendation from a friend, and we couldn't be happier that we did. Pete took all the time we needed and answered everything thoroughly. We went through hundreds of houses online and narrowed them down to about 50. Pete listened very well and helped us find our perfect house, which was ultimately among those that we eliminated. We're so happy that we had Pete to help us find the perfect one!

We worked with Pete Russian and had the best experience! We relocated to Austin from out of state, and it couldn't have been a smoother transition. Looking for a home out of state was overwhelming, but he made the process easier. He was very responsive whether it was email, call or text and answered all the questions we had (which were a lot!) He was very patient with us, very organized and really just provided the best customer service. He answered questions I had before I even asked. We purchased our primary home and will be buying investment properties in the future, and we will definitely be using Pete again. If you're looking for a Realtor, I would absolutely recommend him!

This is the 2nd time I used Pete and the fact that I didn't even think twice about going with another Realtor should say enough. Pete definitely knows what he does and looks out for the client's best interest. It took me three years to find the home that I wanted, and throughout the process, Pete was very patient. He is also extremely helpful. I am full of questions, and Pete always responds in a very timely manner.

This is the first experience my wife, and I have had with purchasing a home, let alone an investment property. We began the process back in September 2018, and Pete has been there every step of the way. Pete made himself available for questions and explained each part of the process as we moved through. We are out of state, and Pete constantly went the extra mile to represent on our behalf. We were so impressed we will be working with Pete and Realty Austin, to find tenants for our new place. From showing us homes to referring a home inspector and property manager, Pete truly provided the turnkey experience. When we choose to purchase again, Pete will be our #1 choice. Thank you for all the help!

Pete Russian at Realty Austin is a very charismatic and personable real estate agent who has a profound understanding of the real estate market in Austin and areas surrounding Austin. Pete was insightful and gave valid and honest feedback and encouraged me to make the decisions that were best for me when looking at the properties during my search in becoming a first-time homeowner. Before each viewing, Pete researched the properties and contacted me if there was something that was unfavorable or that could be a detrimental cost for me as a buyer, weeded out the "lemons", and confirmed which houses on my list that we were going to check out on our agreed upon day and time. Pete was proficient and highly knowledgeable in his real estate craft. He gave great effort and efficiency in time spent researching and looking at houses in my search to finding my new home. As a first-time homebuyer and, now thanks to Pete, homeowner I can honestly say that Pete Russian is a realtor that will not stop until the buyer finds the home that is the best fit! THANK YOU, Pete and Realty Austin!

Pete Russian was the best agent anyone could ever have asked for. Not only did he fulfill all requirements, but he also went way beyond that to be as helpful as one can possibly be. I would highly recommend Pete to anyone looking for real estate agent.

My wife and I can't say enough good things about Pete Russian. He's proactive, professional, knowledgeable, prompt, an excellent communicator, and a strong advocate for his clients. Working with Pete was a pleasure, and he got us a far better price for our house than our previous property manager told us was possible. We live in another state, and were concerned about the challenges of selling our home remotely, but Pete made it easy. He started working for us over the phone before we even arrived. We only met him in person twice in the short time we were there, but he treated us like friends when we left town. If we could somehow transplant Pete to Virginia to represent us out here, we would. He's easily the best real estate agent we've ever worked with, and we'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent. Honestly, we are so pleased with our experience working with Pete. He was just fantastic, and has set a very high bar for any one we work with here. We just found a great agent here in Northern Virginia, but my wife and I both said, he's no Pete. For us, he has become the measure by which we'll judge all other agents.

Pete provided beyond excellent service that greatly exceeded expectations during a time that I really needed someone capable of doing so. He flawlessly handled all of the challenges and unknown factors that came up in the sale of my father's home, clearly communicating the steps necessary and providing guidance for any confusion on my part. The home was sold quickly and for a price I was very comfortable with. I would highly recommend Pete to anyone moving to Austin or trying to sell a home in Austin.

First of all, Pete has great organization and follow-through skills. Honestly, I don't remember how I first got in touch with him, but it had to be three years ago. At that time, we were thinking about buying a home in Georgetown, and lots of things had to get done before that could happen. For the next three years, Pete kept in touch, made sure I received Georgetown real estate listing updates, and just checked in from time to time to see how things were going with our moving process. He was never pushy, but nice, friendly and informative. Last fall, when the last piece of our "moving to Georgetown" process finally fell into place, we contacted Pete about looking at some homes. Each time we looked, he was there early (turning on the lights and checking out the place), had additional information about the property, and he almost always opened the conversation with, "This place is overpriced." That's something that prospective buyers like to hear! He never appeared to be rushed. In fact, we could have been his only clients that day from the way he treated us. If we had a specific question about a property, Pete was able to answer it on the spot or do the research to answer it and get back to us very soon. Throughout our looking and buying process, Pete has been on top of everything, I and mean everything! Timely responses, solid information, outstanding negotiating skills, excellent recommendations for inspections and home warranty coverage, terrific service with the title company, and the best closing gift ever! On top of that, he's an excellent communicator (this, coming from a former English teacher is high praise) and just a nice, friendly guy. We couldn't be more pleased.

Pete Russian is the best around town. He helped us purchase our home as we moved to Austin and then sell it when we relocated six years later. We had a wonderful experience working with him! We highly recommend Pete and Realty Austin!

I would like to start by saying I had the best experience I've ever had dealing with Pete Russian. He made our process as easy as possible given the current market conditions being extremely hot. Pete made every effort to make the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home as easy as possible. I was quite concerned after the sale of our home in one day and confronted with finding a home on a deadline without sacrificing what we wanted. Pete reassured me over and over that we would be able to find the home for our family with the right amount of patience and dedication. Once again Pete was right and made a great effort to work with the Realtors, lending, and title companies to help us get closed early. Pete also went above and beyond helping us rap into his network to get inspections (Home Team Inspections thank you) and contractors to help with getting our new home settled and get some light touch up work at our previous home. I felt like between my wife and two children we were going to drive Pete nuts but he never showed any sign of wear; he stood strong and had conviction in his abilities to get the job done. I cannot express how thankful I am for choosing Pete who my wife luckily found online by pure luck over the two other Realtors we interviewed who were referrals from friends and family. Pete made our dreams come true and Madilyn, Ethan, Amy and myself all really appreciate the hard work and patience Pete gave to us; he really made us feel like we were his only clients (even though I know we were not) and it showed in everything he did. Thank you Pete for such a wonderful experience; I owe you a STEAK!

Pete Russian helped me find my house, and I was very impressed with his level of expertise, flexibility, and patience. He made himself available throughout the week, both early in the morning and after my work shift, giving me critical exposure to the houses I was considering as well as a good perspective into the workings of the real estate industry. I heard of Pete through friends who'd bought and sold houses with Pete before, and he came very highly recommended. It turned out, that was for a very good reason. I'll certainly be recommending Pete to anyone who's looking to buy or sell their home, and when I eventually sell a house, Pete will be the person I call.

It isn't possible to say enough good things about Pete. He was always available even into the wee hours of the night, showed houses in very short notice and answered an endless stream of texts with endless questions. We are so happy on our new home and that would not have been possible without Pete. He went the extra mile in every way and we have a home that is perfect for us as a result. So yes, to say he exceeded our expectations is an understatement.

Pete was great. His advice for listing was spot on, and he was extremely flexible in meeting our needs given that we had already bought our other home out of town and my husband was out of state for a significant portion of the listing time. Would highly recommend Pete to anyone looking for a realtor in the area.

While trying to sell our home and before meeting Pete Russian, our family went through an unsuccessful, frustrating, and stressful experience with an agent from another agency. Needless to say, we were almost ready to throw in the towel and accept that our home was just one that would never sell. Or never sell without giving it away. So after our listing with the unsuccessful agent expired, we took a min to cry, breath, and then decided to interview some agents; if for nothing else, than to get feedback at the very least since we were left with no clue why our home didn't sell. Quite a few agents came in and wanted to restage our house, which we were open to; until the pitch turned into more of redecorating and remodeling overkill. One wanted to change EVERYTHING within our home, and one wanted us to build on an added covered patio. Mind you, our house wasn't that old, our home was very well maintained, extremely clean, and one of us had a little bit of real estate experience; so the house was staged for selling. As for adding on, that was entirely out of the question since in our area's market we would not have gotten back the money put into doing that, let alone make a profit on doing extensive construction like that. Forward to interviewing Pete, the first thing he said after walking through the house as he too was baffled as to why our home didn't sell. So he sat us down and LISTENED to us. That in itself was so refreshing! We told him while we understood not everyone would give feedback, we got only a couple comments from agents of potential buyers; and the comments were how they loved our home and how great it showed, yet nothing more came of it. We also explained how there were a couple of agents that had clients who arrived more than once to view our home, yet nothing came of that either. Upon hearing that, Pete then addressed what the actual root of the problem possibly was. He first explained he was there to help sell our home, not to try to pitch any redecorating, new staging, or adding on, because our house didn't need any of that. He then said, more importantly, the reason to why our home most likely didn't sell was two critical things were missing last time, which was a strong marketing and agent follow up; especially stronger follow up with the agents who had clients that came through more than once! From there, we informed Pete of our trust level in listing with another agent was very low. He did not take offense to that and was actually quite the opposite. Pete said he completely understood, didn't blame us, and that he would never want us to feel locked into anything that was not working for us; so at any time we felt uncomfortable or wanted to back out we were free to do so without any strings attached. We warned him due to our last experience we may become a thorn in his side with calls or texts since communication was one-sided in our previous experience too. He reassured us he would stay in communication with us throughout, that we weren't a bother to him, and he'd email market updates periodically. Lastly, we addressed the asking price, which was all over the place with our last agent, because our family was trying to figure that out ourselves while our agent wanted to price our home at a price that would have been just giving it away. Pete came to not only our rescue but also rescued our home's listing price. He had such confidence in our home, didn't feel at all it was a lost cause, and certainly that it didn't need to be priced at a giveaway price. In fact, after doing correct market research with us, he suggested to price our home back up above what our last listing ended at, but still very fair and competitive with what was trending in our area. Previous to Pete, our home was sitting almost in silence for 150+ days on the market; during a time when most houses were selling like hotcakes in our neighborhood. Then in came Pete, to a very hesitant family, but one that he gave hope back to. Within 17 days, thanks to the exceptional marketing, strong follow up and making himself accessible, we got an offer on our home! Once we accepted, Pete continued to stay on top of things and made sure to be available whenever he was needed! There were a few requests from the buyers during the option period, and Pete and my family worked together to find the best and most reasonable contractors. The sale went smoothly, as did the closing, which Pete also took time from his schedule to join us for! Pete more than exceeded our expectations, earned our trust, and our respect; so much so, that we asked him to help us find a lease (in a short period too). He took us to view homes, some more than twice even. Pete also made the phone calls to the investors or landlords, got our questions answered, and negotiated our offer. In a year or two we'll be looking to build again, and if you guessed that we'd be turning to Pete to represent us during the process of finding land, our next dream home, and a builder, you guessed right! Pete Russian is excellent at his job and personalizing the real estate services to the specific needs of his client. But he's not just a great Real Estate agent, and he's a great person! He's patient, transparent, honest, upfront, and trustworthy! His character is why we put our trust in him. His dedication is why he helped ease our stress, successfully sold our home, and got us into a newly built lease. Both of those traits are why we'll turn to him for all our future real estate needs and will recommend him all day long to anyone, and everyone looking to buy, sell, lease, or anyone that has clients looking to do any of the above and he's got a listing that possibly fits their client's needs!

Thank you, Realty Austin, and to Pete Russian specifically, for sticking with us for so long and getting our house sold. The market was exceptionally tough recently, and he stood with us through thick and thin and worked very hard marketing our home. I will definitely be using Pete and Realty Austin on my next home purchase! Thanks!

Pete Russian is amazing! He recently helped me find that perfect home, being so incredibly patient, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile in searching for and viewing so many houses. He is very knowledgeable, earned my trust, and helped make a complicated process a really enjoyable experience. To anyone in search of a real estate agent, I highly recommend Pete!

We loved working with Pete Russian. Pete is the most professional, outstanding, and amazing real estate agent anyone can have the pleasure of working with. Pete is very friendly and knowledgeable. He really knows a lot about homes and neighborhoods. He was there every step of the way for us. He was very attentive to our needs, followed through on every single detail. I highly recommend Pete.

We just sold a condo, using Pete Russian as our Realtor, and we couldn't be happier!!! He went above and beyond to quickly find a buyer. When one deal fell through, he immediately found a 2nd buyer, within hours! He knew the market and also knew lots of contacts, for us to use, for repairs. He even met contractors at our home, for us, so we didn't have to take off work. Talk about going above and beyond! He can not say enough good things about him!!! I will ALWAYS use him, in the future, for my Realtor.

I appreciated Pete during my entire home buying experience. This was, by far, the best experience I have ever had buying a house. Pete made everything so easy. He put me at ease, gave me advice when I asked for it and just made me feel like I was his only priority. The level of professionalism Pete sets himself to is unprecedented in my experience. He is well organized and prompt with everything. I will use him in future and recommend him to anyone.

Pete Russian with Realty Austin is professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I would be more than happy to recommend Pete. He found a Condo for us in a very short time period as we wanted a place for our daughter, who is attending university in Austin, as my wife and I live in Singapore. We were only in Austin for two weeks so, Pete expedited the process and helped us close on the property smoothly and quickly. Now that our daughter is living in the condo and we are overseas, Pete still helps us.

As always Pete was absolutely amazing to work with. He is always on top of things and looking out for our best interest. I would recommend Pete to anyone and plan on having him help with the sale of our house in the future.

Selling my home after purchasing it five years ago, I would only trust Pete Russian to help me with the sell of it. He made the selling of my home easy and smooth. It was under contract four days after being listed. He goes above and beyond for his clients and answered all the questions I had. Pete is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to buying and selling a home. I will refer all my friends and family to Pete Russian with Realty Austin and also plan to request him with my next home purchase.

We worked with Pete Russian with Realty Austin to sell our home and purchase a new home. Everything happened exactly the way Pete explained it would. He was available anytime and we appreciate him tremendously. Because of our success and ease with selling our home, we have since referred many friends to Pete. He's very knowledgeable, professional, and honest. He's there for his clients and sees to their best interests. Thank you, Pete!

Pete Russian is a fantastic Realtor, and I highly recommend him to anyone. He is friendly, respectful, has amazing communication skills, and will make sure you get exactly what you want.

Pete did a great job helping us sell our house. He was very clear on the process, the best way to sell our house, etc. He helped during the negotiation process by being honest with us. I greatly appreciated Pete's assistance in the selling of our home.

The idea of purchasing a home is overwhelming for first time home buyers like myself. I had very little experience in the real estate business and was full of doubts and fears. Pete was a pleasure to work with. He helped guide me through this important step in my life. His knowledge of the market and approachability immediately welcomed my questions. Pete worked around my schedule and showed me as many homes as I desired. I appreciated Pete mostly for his honesty as a person without the pressure to make a sale. His integrity clearly shows in his work ethic. I have and will continue to recommend Pete Russian as my preferred real estate agent.

Pete sold our house in Pflugerville and also acted as our representative on the purchase of a new home in Round Rock. Pete's information was always helpful, accurate and in line with our interests. We had a crazy month with multiple offers and having to back out of a house we put an offer on. During all the craziness, Pete remained calm, gave advice that was in our best interest and never at any point did he get pushy in anyway. Pete does well in his profession because you can tell he isn't just in it for the money, he is in it for the experience. He truly values his client's satisfaction over his commission.

Excellent agent! Pete helped me rent a house and I will definitely be calling him again when I look to buy. He really knows the market and is a pleasure to work with. Very thorough, knowledgeable, reliable and very effective!

Pete was not only very professional and worked hard to find and show us houses that met our criteria, but he also provided invaluable advice about the entire process. After speaking with him you will quickly discover he is very smart and capable. My wife found him by chance through a listing, after which he made the process as painless as humanly possible. If in the future we decide to move or buy another property I will definitely use him. Now we just have to convince him to do commercial work as well.

I absolutely loved my experience with Pete! He made the home selling process smooth and stress free! Was always there to answer our questions, always answered the phone or was prompt in returning our calls and truly made us feel like we were his only clients. His marketing for our home was spot on with professional pictures, advertising on numerous websites and hosting open houses. I couldn't have asked for a better, more knowledgeable realtor and couldn't recommend him more!

Very pleased with the results. He was efficient and found exactly what we wanted. Thanks Pete!

Pete's professionalism showed in his efficiency to respond to any questions that I had about the home buying process. Whether it is by phone or via email, Pete always seemed to respond within a matter of minutes. I felt as though I was encountering everything for the first time and rightfully so, as a first time homebuyer. However, Pete was always accessible to help guide me through any situation and was always there to answer any questions. I gave Pete a price range in the beginning of our home search; a price range that I felt comfortable working with and he never deviated from it. He treated me more as a trustworthy friend who happened to be more knowledgeable about the home buying process than I was while still staying within my criteria. I appreciated Pete's professionalism, and efficiency as a realtor and I am thankful to have worked with such an individual, especially with something of great importance to me; my home.

My wife and I were so blessed to have Pete as our agent. He was knowledgeable of the market and helped us find a home that met all of our needs and exceeded our expectations. The next time we enter the buying or selling market, we will call Pete to represent us.

Peter was awesome! He helped us through a somewhat stressful time. We were in the process of selling our home out of town and moving to the Austin area. Our home sold quicker than expected and Peter made purchasing our next home smoother. He was very accommodating with our crazy travel schedule, showing us homes on the weekends. Having e-documents was also great, especially since we were out of town. His vast knowledge and expertise was greatly appreciated since we did not have a lot of time to spare. I could not recommend Peter highly enough. He is a great communicator, responds quickly to phone calls/texts/emails. I can't thank him enough for all that he has done for our family.

You are a true professional, and EXCELLENT at what you do. This was evidenced by how easy you made things look and feel throughout the entire experience. We have no reservations about telling everyone about the pride and quality of work you have demonstrated with us.

This is the 2nd time that I purchase a home with Pete's help and as usual I'm delighted to work with him. Pete is very professional and knowledgeable and just has a special way to make things smooth. I feel that he truly has my best interest at heart and I love that. I never feel rushed or pressured with placing an offer or offer amount, etc. My family and I have moved quite a bit and before I met Pete, I can honestly say that I hated the experience of buying a house when it should be a fun thing. Pete has 100% changed that for me, I enjoy working with him as well as the entire process. There's no way that I would ever go to any other agent and both my husband and I recommend Pete every time we get a chance to.

Pete Russian is the best! If you want someone who's willing to go the extra mile to make sure you're happy throughout the entire process and get what you want, he's your guy. I highly recommend Pete!

Pete is a true professional and showed outstanding work ethic during my time working with him. Pete made it very clear from the beginning of the entire process that if I had any questions or concerns with regards to purchasing or selling my home that he would be available at anytime and willing to meet anywhere. This helped to create a very personalized environment and made me feel very comfortable. Pete clearly exemplified his intelligence of the housing market in and around central Texas, and as my personal realtor, insured me that my home would sell at top market value and in a timely manner. Pete was right. My home sold within a matter of weeks at top market value and Pete made the process feel very simple and painless. I have already referred Pete to a few of my co-workers and Pete was referred to me by my father. A clear example Pete's outstanding work. I now reside with my wife in San Antonio. I have made Pete aware that I would like to work with him in the future if my wife and I ever decide to sell our home here and purchase elsewhere. I know that Pete will get the job done right, get the job done efficiently, and I will not have to worry about anything.

Pete Russian was an excellent Realtor! We could not have asked for anything more. He was prompt in his replies to any questions we had, he texted me almost daily to keep me up to date on what was going on, he was honest about what needed to be fixed on our house prior to listing, and made sure we had signs/fliers/internet postings advertising our home. We received 2 offers and sold in 10 days after 21 showings and 1 open house. Signing the closing paperwork happened separately (due to a minor medical emergency on the part of the buyer) and Pete picked up and drove our paperwork to the title company so that I did not have to pack up my kids in the car to drive to the office. He was conscientious, courteous, and helpful in every way possible. I would highly recommend him to anyone in my acquaintance.

Not only did I gain an agent, I gained a friend. I trust Pete! Not one time did I question anything he advised me. Based on his great interpersonal skills and knowledge, I knew I could trust him and he would not steer me wrong. I have quite a hectic schedule and not much flexibility. Pete worked with me, which I truly appreciated. He constantly kept in touch with me. I did have any concerns, he reassured me he would follow-up with the sellers or agent, and get back with me. One day I received an overwhelming amount of emails from the title company. I can admittedly say that I thought, \Oh my, what have I got myself into.\" I called Pete and he reassured me to not worry and that he will look through it to make sure all was up to par. I felt a sense of relief to know I had Pete on my side. Seriously, Pete is awesome! I will keep in touch with him because he is truly a great agent! I will definitely refer him to friends and even strangers who are looking for a great place to live! "

Pete was amazing. I was a treasured friend before this and I expected the best. We received way beyond that! Spades of information, lots of listings, answered any questions, and offered any assistance he could. I have already recommended Pete to everyone I know for listings. He helped us work smarter and get exactly what we wanted.

We just closed the sale of our house, and Pete Russian was our Realtor from Realty Austin. This was by far one of the best experiences I have had in selling our home, and Pete did a SUPERB job for us! He was very helpful, and explained every step of the process. Whenever I had a question, he was just a phone call or text away and no matter how late it was or how early it was in the day, I always got a prompt response. If it wasnt for Pete, I dont think the house would have sold as quickly and we are Extremely Satisfied with the entire experience. Pete worked extremely hard getting this house sold and appreciate everything that he did. When we are in the market for another one, Pete will be the one to call!!! Thanks Pete!!!

Pete helped me a lot and explained things since this was the first house that I purchased. I had never dealt with many of these things. He was recommended to me by my brother and sister-in-law. I was glad that he was able to help me get my first home because there were many times that I had simple questions that might have seemed common sense to experienced home buyers. He was also easy to get a hold of whenever I had questions and I would recommend him to friends and family.

Pete Russian was wonderful! He was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. As an older client, I appreciated his patience and kindness. He kept me in the loop and explained the process well. Pete was recommended by a member of my family and we recommend him to anyone in the Austin area.

Pete Russian is the BEST realtor you could possible ask for. My family and I relocated from Austin to Denver and needed to sell our house in Hutto. Pete was AMAZING!!! We did everything via the phone, text and mobile notary. We had to have some repairs done and not only did Pete help me find reliable businesses but also over-saw the work repairs being done! I couldn't have had a better realtor!!! One AMAZING man!!! He definitely goes above and beyond.........LOVE HIM!!!!

We had a terrific experience with Pete Russian. He always made us feel that we were a priority. He was also extremely knowledgeable when it came to answering our questions and concerns. We look forward to recommending him to our friends and family. Thanks, Pete!

Working with Pete was amazing AGAIN! He helped me sell my house in Austin and buy my house in Hutto back in 2009! This time my family and I relocated out-of-state and Pete helped us sell our house while we were out of town. He has been absolutely AMAZING! If we ever move back to the Austin area I will be contacting Pete! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Pete is truly a blessing! I've used him for the purchase of one home and the sale of three homes and couldn't imagine using anyone else... He goes above and beyond your expectations to ensure top price and that everything in the process goes smooth without any hiccup... Even if a slight issue would arise he would have it handled before it became an issue... Pete is a superb realtor and a huge asset to your company... Hang on to him :) When asked for a recommendation for a realtor, I without hesitation give Pete's contact information...

Pete has been totally awesome! My husband and I have dealt with many realtors in the past and Pete is truly one of a kind. I've always dreaded having to deal with realtors but that's in the past now that I've met Pete. Pete was recommended by a neighbor of ours and I'm so happy that we decided to go with him for our realty needs. He did not disappoint!! He's always very professional, super helpful and incredibly quick! Pete continues to exceed my expectations over and over!!! We have recommended him to friends and neighbors and will always continue to do so!! Thanks Pete :)

First, let me say, Realty Austin has by far one of the best real estate agents. I've worked with Pete on more than one occasion, and again, he exceeded my expectations. Pete is extremely knowledgeable and gladly shared it with me. I trust Pete, period. He freely answered any questions I had along the process and kept me in the loop every step of the way. Without any hesitation, I will gladly recommend Pete Russian to any future clients I know. He is awesome!

I just closed on my first home in 30 days flat with Pete Russian and Realty Austin. Pete was great to work with and always had my best interests in mind. I would recommend Pete's services to anyone looking for a new home or rental property.

Pete was excellent from start to finish. I really enjoyed working with him and found him always very responsive, efficient and helpful. I will definitely refer him to friends in the future.

I've known Pete for a few years now and to sum it up I would never buy or sell another property with the help of anyone else but Pete. My husband and I have purchased and sold a few homes with Pete's help, and he has far surpassed our expectations every single time. He's always super professional, and I truly appreciate his guidance. We always refer Pete to anyone who's needing a Realtor. I consider Pete, a dear friend.

Pete was very helpful in selling my house and knowledgeable. I am not a man of many words so I will not be able to outline everything he did for me but he was of great aid.
