Rita Little-Byrd

Rita was super helpful and proactive with selling our home. In this market you need someone you can trust and that stays on top of her stuff. Rita is that 💯. I would recommend her to family and that’s saying a lot because they are a picky bunch. Thank you Rita :)!

I had a fantastic experience working with Rita and her team throughout our home-buying journey. It took us a couple of years to finally make the decision, but Rita was incredibly patient and supportive every step of the way. Her deep knowledge of the market and the process made all the difference. Her team was exceptional in coordinating with the builders and mortgage company, ensuring everything went smoothly from start to finish. I truly appreciate their professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend Rita and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell. You’ll be in great hands!

Working with Rita has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She turned what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process—buying a home while simultaneously selling my condo—into a smooth, efficient, and even enjoyable experience. Thanks to Rita, we found exactly what we were looking for and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a reliable, dedicated, and skilled real estate professional.

I can’t say enough about Rita and how awesome she is. My family and I recently relocated from CA, and I had casually spoken to several agents before getting referred to Rita. Having been a Realtor myself for over 20 years, I’m very picky about who I work with. Rita is extremely knowledgeable, and took us all over Austin while educating us about every neighborhood, school, shopping, proximity, etc. She’s very responsive, patient, thorough….oh, and did I mention she got us 150k (23%) below the list price?! So grateful she helped us get our forever house :). Highly highly recommend Rita!!

Rita has been wonderful to work with. As we were relocating from out of state, she expertly guided us through various neighborhoods, pointing out those with the best schools. Impressively, she negotiated a purchase price $10,000 lower than what the seller had declined just two weeks earlier. Thanks to her expertise, we found the perfect property in Granada Hills. She was always quick to respond and set up private showings. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a realtor in the Austin area.

Rita is amazing! She made the stressful process of homeownership a breeze, found us the right house with all our asks, gave us great insight into tax advantages and buyer beware gotchas. Highly recommend bringing your dreams and your business to her.

Rita Little - Byrd did an amazing job. She was on top of the technical details and managed all the personalities involved perfectly. Our transaction wasn't easy, but Rita never wavered. I felt fortunate to have her on my side. I can't wait to until we can work together again. 

Rita Little was the best to work with! She was quick to respond, flexible with schedules, and very knowledgeable. Rita helped us through every step of the process, answered all of our questions with honesty, and provided recommendations that fit our family. I highly recommend Rita Little and Realty Austin!

Rita Little with Realty Austin was very attentive and helpful. She answered all our questions and was very patient. She helped us find our first home in a few days. We definitely recommend her and her team!

I’m a first-time homeowner, and I could not have done it without Rita Little, working with Rita for the last few months was an amazing experience she’s a very hard worker, patient, honest, and she makes sure things get done, she’s as family now! She made it happen for my family and me! Whatever I say and no matter how much I thank her is not enough ! She’s the absolute best!

This was our second time working with Rita Little, and she is just the best realtor! She came highly recommended and was very patient and knowledgeable about the market we were looking in. We were buying in Round Rock but lived in Houston at the time. Rita went above and beyond to go look at houses for us and Facetime because the market was so competitive. More recently, she helped us buy another home near Canyon Lake. Again, she was so patient while we waded through homes in our price range. Rita met us at the lake numerous times until we finally found something that fit our many criteria, which took a few months. We always recommend her to anyone that is looking to buy or sell, and if we need a real estate agent in the future, we would not hesitate to call her again.

We worked with Rita Little to find and purchase our new (DREAM) home. She is such an outstanding agent. She is thorough, super knowledgeable and was easy to reach at all times to answer my many questions. She did a great job negotiating and we ended up getting the house below asking price in a super competitive market. She also has a great personality and a calm and caring demeanor. I can't recommend Rita enough.

We've had Rita help with 2 commercial real estate deals in about the last year. She's resourceful and attentive. We'll definitely keep using her.

Once again, Rita helped me find the ideal house in the cutest neighborhood. She helped me secure the lease on the first application we submitted for our number 1 pick! I really appreciate her going out of her way to spend her busy Saturday afternoon driving around Cedar Park and NW Austin. She is so efficient, forthright, and honest, which makes what is generally a super stressful experience such a breeze. And she always knows when its the wrong place off the bat, so lets not waste time, let's get onto the next. And she convinced the property management company to replace all the gross carpet, which was such a relief. When I moved into my last house, she pointed out a nearby little known nature preserve that had cool art scattered throughout. I might not had ventured in there if she hadn't mentioned it, which would have been a shame because it quickly became my sanctuary during the pandemic. That's the value of going with a native Austinite like Rita! I always recommend her when folks say they are looking to make a move around town. We are SO HAPPY with our new place! I feel like I hit the jackpot, yet again! 

Rita Little was an incredible person to work with during my home buying process! She was with me every step of the way and made the process feel extremely collaborative and accessible, which made a huge difference for someone doing it all on their own for the first time. She helped me locate the perfect option in a very slim window of time. When hurdles presented themselves, she moved swiftly and got the results I needed. A master negotiator! I'm truly impressed with Rita's graceful diligence and keen eye for detail. Most importantly, I'm incredibly grateful for her hard work and kind presence throughout the process. I would strongly recommend Rita to any and all friends and associates looking to buy or sell a home. 

Rita Little went above and beyond to help me purchase my first home. She is personally and professionally top-notch. She has been exceptionally organized and effective since our initial call. During the 1-2 month search and buy process, we changed/expanded our strategy a few times. Rita took it in step and kept it all together the whole time. She answered texts and calls at all hours of the day and promptly. She gave sage advice at all times and gave great guidance. And I had a lot of questions. I can't praise her enough. I'll recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home, but especially to my close friends because I want the best for them! What more can I say? Rita Rules!

Rita is an amazing realtor. She is honest, patient, kind, and considerate. This is my second time working with Rita, and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else. I will use Rita for all my future real estate purchases.

This is my third time working with Rita Little at Realty Austin, and it won't be my last. Rita is the best realtor I've ever worked with. This time, I was purchasing an investment property from out of state. Rita walked me through properties, checked out local towns, and gave excellent info to help me make a purchasing decision from afar. She is communicative, responsive, and always takes the time to explain to me every part of this oftentimes confusing process -- especially in this market! I can't recommend Rita at Realty Austin enough. I'm looking forward to working with her again!

Rita Little might be the best kind of realtor there is. She's highly professional and fluff-free, yet genuine and so caring, extremely knowledgeable of her market, gives confident, straightforward, and solid advice knows how to negotiate in your best interests, and holds everyone accountable to making sure it all goes as planned and promised. As first-time homebuyers, we were completely overwhelmed at what to expect and within moments of meeting Rita, knew we were in good hands! Additionally, her coordinator, Leah, at Realty Austin was on top of communication leading up to closing. Overall a very smooth and relatively stress-free transaction! We had a ton of fun working with Rita and appreciated her candor as we navigated an intimidating market. Glad to recommend her and your team in the future.

Rita is the absolute best person we could’ve asked to help us. Shopping for our first house meant we had a TON of questions, and she answered them at all hours every step of the way, before, during, and after closing. She gave us sound advice and realistic expectations and kept us sane during the stressful parts of the process. We’re 100% going to recommend her to everyone we know in the market.

We worked with Rita Little on our first commercial property purchase. From the first inquiry to closing was about 6 weeks...we couldn't believe how quick and efficient she and her team were. We'll definitely go with Rita and her team on our next endeavor.

If the rest of your agents are even half as good as Rita, you are a fortunate woman.  She is detail-oriented without being picky, has honed her negotiating skills, knows when to pick her battles, is knowledgeable about the legalities without giving legal advice, follows through when she says she will die something, is very strategic when making and accepting offers, is incredibly honest and principled. If someone is devious or disingenuous, she cuts them down to size so elegantly they never realize it. Rita went out of her way many times to help me or console me. She is also very generous. I hope you consider her the faci of Realty Austin. I sure do.

Rita has been and continues to be one of the most dedicated, thorough, professional, and thoughtful people I’ve ever worked with in any financial capacity. I haven’t dealt with much real estate, mind you, but I would gleefully recommend her to anyone looking for a new home or to sell theirs.

Rita has been an amazing agent to us! We have had multiple agents in various parts of the country, and she is definitely top-notch! We are referring her to our friends who are interested in austin! 

Rita is one of the best agents I've worked with. Our entire buying process felt painless because Rita was always three steps ahead in identifying issues, communicating with other parties, and mitigating any negative impact on us. She was diligent and responsive from start to finish, and she continuously looked out for our best interests. We also benefited from Rita's strong network; she referred us to a fantastic lender and property manager that have been beyond helpful. Everyone in Rita's network, like herself, has been so personable yet efficient. We're very grateful to have worked with Rita and would recommend her to prospective clients without hesitation.

Our experience with Rita was sensational from beginning to end. As first-time home buyers, my wife and I definitely felt overwhelmed going into the process, but Rita helped answer our questions each step of the way, from emails to texts to calls at night. I especially appreciate the recommendations she made and the manner in which she made them that gave us general points to consider while keeping the decision ours to make. Knowing Rita was in our corner gave us the assurance that we would make it through the process ok, which was especially needed when there were delays due to the winter storm as well as some technical issues we didn't understand at first with our lender. Ultimately, we got the deal complete, and we owe a lot of thanks to Rita, who was cheering us on until the end!

I cannot express enough how pleased I am it Rita Little. She has worked with me for 2 1/2 years. I logged onto the Realty Austin site when I knew I was moving from Washington, DC to Austin. I had some personal issues going on, and she has been patient, thorough, informative, and listened to my needs. My plan changed many times, and each time she adjusted according. Rita showed me houses from May 2018 until I recently purchased. Rita has earned my trust and, more importantly, my respect and friendship. She knows that I want to purchase rental properties, and She is the only agent that I will work with and recommend in the future. 

Rita was the BEST! She is very kind and was always very attentive. Being that it was our first home purchase, Rita was always very helpful throughout the full process. I truly appreciated Rita crossing paths with us. I can not express how much we truly appreciated her throughout the process. Realty Austin is very fortunate to have such a great person like Rita.

My initial experience in working with Rita when she helped me sell my home in Buda, Texas, was superb, so of course, I wanted to involve her with the purchasing of a new home. It was a very pleasant experience, and everything went very smoothly. She comes highly recommended.

I worked with Rita Little of RA for selling my house, and she is very professional and great to work with. She managed to get at least 10K above asking price compared to other Realtors I used before and managed to get multiple offers the first day! She is calm, knowledgeable, and provided a cost-effective way on the repair and work through the deal through the process, highly recommend her on selling your house.

Working with Rita and Realty Austin was a pleasure, to say the least. Rita, you made it so easy for us to make our decision without any pressure. Everything was clear to us as first buyers, and we felt right at home with the whole process. Thank you and the team for your great work, you will be recommended to all our friends.

When buying our second home, Rita was such a help to us during the process. During the house hunting phase, Rita was always very flexible and worked on our schedule. When it came time to sign and organize paperwork, she and her team made sure we were up to date and in the loop every step of the way. After the sale, she followed up multiple times with helpful information, and even made sure we filed our home exemption on time, *after looking in TCAD for us*. Rita really goes above and beyond. I seriously didn’t understand what a great Realtor brought to the table before now. I would highly recommend her to anyone of my friends and family to handle their home purchase.

We are completely grateful to Rita Little for her help in initiating our recent apartment purchase and for her thoughtful and alert shepherding us through the transaction. Her involvement made all the difference in how smoothly and well, everything worked out. Her advice was invaluable, and her seasoned perspectives were a real comfort for us as we dealt with our own lack of familiarity with the Austin market. We commend her for the help that she gave us, and gladly recommend her to others who would hope to complete similar transactions.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Rita both on the sale of my home this past September and on the pending purchase of a new one at present. The sale of the home came with a few bumps in the road "on the buye's end," and Rita resolved those issues seamlessly. She left no stone unturned. She's so thorough, knowledgeable, punctual; I could go on. Of course, I wanted to involve Rita in the purchase of the new home and am thrilled that the end is just around the corner. Yay! I'm thankful for her patience and in working with me as I made numerous changes regarding pricing and location. The MLS listings were so helpful, and we finally nailed it. What a find. It's beautiful. Memories made.

Rita Little helped us with the purchase of our first home. I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor! Rita answered all of our questions in a timely and professional manner. Rita was also so thoughtful and gave us many helpful tips. I am so grateful to Rita that she helped make our buying process so easy. I recommend Rita Little to anyone looking for a Realtor.

Just wanted to share my experience I had with my Realtor Rita Little. I wasn't sure how to go about selling my home, or that when I met Rita that she was going to be the one that could do it for me. Sure enough with her experience and professionalism that she showed me, my house was on the market one day and it went under contract. Keep up the good work - I would recommend her to anybody needing a good Realtor.

There are some Realtors who do pretty much nothing and collect their commish for a few forms and opening a lockbox. Rita Little goes so beyond the scope and duty. I just spent the last several months working with her and literally memorizing the MLS. Rita not only had the patience of every Saint (I would name one but I don't really know any) she never once pressured me to do anything, ever. In tough choice situations, she would matter of factly walk me through the pros and cons and in doing so every time she impressed me with how well she listened and understood my needs and what I was shopping for every single time. When it came time to negotiate she never responded with what would benefit her and her commish only what was within my best interest. I have purchased a bit of real estate and Rita is amazing! She was knowledgeable about the money, 1030 tax exchange, appraisals, all of it! Every single area of town she knew...I know because I looked EVERYWHERE! If there was something she didn't know and needed to research I knew the answer as soon as she was on a desktop or heck she did it right there on her phone or iPad. Getting me the information I needed to make a smart choice was first and foremost and she always made me feel like a priority. This is the Realtor you want and need. I will not buy real estate without her, she is my go to and I can't recommend her services enough.

Rita was such a joy to work with! She made my first-time home buying experience a breeze. If you're in the market, reach out to Rita and the rest of the team -- they're the best!

I have nothing but praise to sing for Rita. She was diligent, informative, and patient. My wife and I are first time buyers, and regardless of the question we had, or the time we had it, Rita was always quick to respond and thorough in her explanations. She stayed on top of the paperwork as we moved forward with our purchased and kept us informed of any detail that required our attention. While I am sure she was handling other clients during her time with us, I felt like we were her ONLY clients. I will be recommending her as often as I am able.

Rita and Leah are THE BEST TEAM you could have on your side. My S.O. and I sold a duplex and bought two new houses all at once. No doubt stressful, right? Nope! Not with those two on your side!! I was given all the info I needed exactly before I needed it. And Rita was available every time I had a question.

Rita has been a pleasure to work with in both of our property purchases. Always available, answers questions promptly, drove a long distance to hike the property with my husband. She walks us through every step of the process. I have known Rita for years, and she has always been very professional.

I am a French woman from Paris whose lived in Southern California for three years. I wanted to buy a small property in Austin and not knowing the area, I contacted various real estate agencies on the web explaining my situation and my requests. Very quickly Rita Little stood out from the other agencies because of her kindness and her total involvement in search of the house. I want to say that I had a minimal budget compared to what is normal today in this area and Rita gave me the same attention as if I had a budget ten times higher. I went to Austin for a few days, and Rita adjusted her schedule and was available weekdays and weekends. She gave me plenty of time for visits, gave great advice and expertise. I found the property I was looking for, and Rita continued to accompany me at every step. I am a total stranger to real estate in Austin and America because real estate is entirely different than in France. It is with gratitude that I write this review for those who are looking for a condo or a house in Austin. Rita is an Austin native, a person with immense confidence, very pleasant and understands the needs of others without ever pushing for the purchase. What Rita wants more than anything is to provide quality to clients, and for us to be happy with our purchase.

There aren't enough words to describe how AWESOME Rita has been. She was there for us through the whole thing. Rita was very professional and provided great personalized service. I have dealt with many Realtors in my time but none have been as great as Rita. I highly recommend her.

Extraordinary best describes my recent experience in purchasing a house with the assistance of Rita Little. Rita, who grew up in Austin, has a wealth of information about all of the various neighborhoods and subdivisions of the Austin Metropolitan area. This is not my first rodeo!! I bought my first home here in 1970 and moved several times over the past 47 years. But even with my previous buying experience, Austin has changed so much and continues to do so almost daily, which required a great Realtor. Moving back to Austin from San Antonio after four years, I needed a knowledgeable, personable, patient, understanding, dedicated, supportive, and, well, easy to work with individual. In Rita Little, I found that person!! We drove from Kyle to Bastrop to Lockhart to Elgin to South Austin to East Austin to Cedar Creek and to Tucumcari. Rita was always ready to meet me on short notice for the next day's adventure. Her communications were precise, understandable and prompt. Rita's eye for assisting in evaluating the pluses and minuses of a particular property was invaluable. I can't say enough about how incredibly and smoothly Rita and the staff, especially Leah Schimberg, at Realty Austin ushered me through the process of this home purchase from my offer to closing.

Rita Little was fantastic. She went above and beyond in our home-buying process and dealt with a number of unexpected issues with great care. Would recommend her and use her again in the future!

We are extremely impressed with Rita's expertise and commitment in representing us in this real estate transaction. She was very professional and informative every step of the way as we went through the sale of our home. Rita represented Realty Austin and herself in an exemplary manner and is a great Realtor. I will highly recommend Rita to anyone in search of a real estate agent.

My experience of buying a new home in Austin with Rita Little was as pleasant as it could possibly have been. Even though she was recommended by a highly reliable source, previous experiences with buying and selling homes in San Francisco, Fairfield County, Connecticut and Carson City, Nevada were so stressful I was reluctant to enter into the home buying experience again. Her authentic concern to find the exact right house for me infused every step of this journey. My family and I agree that the service she provided was exceptional. She promptly returned all communication. Because this process can be stressful her natural low-key demeanor facilitated a purchase that was stress-free. She arranged absolutely everything with great attention to detail, professionalism, kindness and awareness of my price range. Rita Little: Authentic. Professional. Low key. Detail oriented. Extraordinarily home buyer friendly!

Rita was wonderful. She made the first-time home buying experience easy, straightforward, low pressure; all the things I could have hoped for. I am completely thrilled with the outcome and with the process.

I greatly appreciated both of the hard work for that Rita and Realty Austin did for me. It's was the best experience with both Rita and Realty Austin. Thanks, Rita and Realty Austin.

I really enjoyed working with Rita on this deal. She was active in my house hunt without being too pushy, and there was no point in the process where I didn't feel that she had my best interests in mind. Her knowledge of a variety of subjects; from house construction to contracts to price negotiations far exceeded my expectations. She's obviously taking the education part of the process seriously and seems genuinely interested in many different aspects of the trade. She's also super detailed oriented. My communications with her never felt scattered, in fact, it was the opposite. I felt like she was conscientiously referring to a checklist and making sure to do everything in the right order. Somehow in all of this, she made me feel like my house was the only thing she was working on or that mattered. Rita really listened to what I had to say during our first conversation, which is what ultimately helped me stay focused on my original intent. She found a home that I thought was perfect without even going to a showing. Naturally, my first thought was \I can't put an offer on a house sight unseen.\" Rita not only showed me how we could make it work by only risking an option fee, but she made me feel ok about the decision too. No pressure, just a \"not a problem, we do this all the time.\" Rita somehow got a lot knocked off my original offer post inspections. I did not feel comfortable at all coming up with a new number to submit, and Rita totally handled the whole thing; once again far exceeding my expectations. I realize reducing the price reduces her commission, but apparently, a happy customer is far more important than a few extra bucks. I don't have a whole lot of experience in these kinds of deals, but I have a lot of experience with people. Not everyone would have had my back like that. I would not hesitate for one second to refer Rita Little to my friends and colleagues, and I would absolutely seek her services in the future should the need arise again. "

I became frustrated after trying to look for a house on my own after about six months. I later found Rita Little and was so glad that she listened to what I had to say, where I wanted to live and how much money I want to spend on a home. Rita also gave me great ideas, showed me multiple homes and was very polite. She knew me very well and knew exactly what I wanted in a house in the desired location I wanted. Eleven months later, Rita found me the new home that I am currently living in now. Even though the home is 32 years old, it still feels new now that I'm having to bring it up to date. I'm very very happy I recommend Rita little to anybody, and I will tell everybody how good she is to take care of her customers.

I bought my home through Rita Little and had a fantastic experience. As a first-time home-buyer, I had no idea what to expect. She made the entire process effortless and a great experience. I have recommended Rita to friends and family.

Rita was an absolute pleasure to work with. She came highly recommended by dear friends, and she did not disappoint. While our process of choosing a home was pretty quick, I felt really confident that Rita would handle all the details. She is polished, professional, yet warm and friendly. I felt at ease with her and felt that I could trust her. We were so pleased with every step of the process, including everyone that she recommended--we have really received stellar service from everyone, and that speaks highly to Rita's skills. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again, and will wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone we know who is looking for a realtor.

We couldn't have been happier with Rita. She is very professional but laid back and easy to be with. She's very knowledgeable about the area, and I always felt very comfortable trusting her advice. She was always available to answer any questions and got back to our emails and texts almost instantly. We had some difficulties with our mortgage company, and she went above and beyond her job to stay on top of them and make sure they had everything done in time. My parents are moving to town, and we've already gotten them set up with Rita, and they will be looking at properties here next week! Thanks for everything!

Rita Little is the best realtor I've ever had! Even in an extreme time crunch, she made moving a seamless process that left me more than satisfied. She is a great choice for anyone looking to find their next dream home! Thanks, Rita!

Rita might be the best realtor we've ever had! Strongly recommend her services to anybody looking for a new home - my girlfriend and I have purchased/sold 3 homes over the past 4 years and we have never had such level of communication, follow and commitment to deadlines. I could spend 2 hours writing about Rita. Anyway, we have already referred somebody and we will be purchasing investment homes from these guys hopefully very soon.

As a first time home buyer, Rita Little and the team were amazing and invaluable in guiding me through the process! What normally would have been a stressful experience for anyone turned out to be surprisingly easy with their expertise. Any concerns or questions I had through finding a home, making an offer, option periods, inspections, loan application, and closing were always addressed asap. Rita and the team really helped make this a comfortable experience and I will definitely recommend them to anyone in the market!

Rita was so patient during our whirlwind 2 days of house hunting. She dedicated the full 2 days we had in town to us and worked with us step by step as we completed our purchase remotely. We had 2 disappointing realtors in Louisiana and were pleased to have such a good experience here in Texas, we look forward to buying our next investment property with Rita!

Rita Little provided us with excellent service. She was knowledgeable of the market, and not at all "pushy." It was great to work with Rita, and we are happy buyers!

Rita Little and Realty Austin were very helpful when I was buying a house in Austin. Rita guided me throughout the entire process with patience, diligence, and knowledge. I highly recommend Rita and Realty Austin to anyone buying or selling a house.

Rita Little was very pleasant and professional. I would highly recommend her.

Rita could not have done better work with us. She's been incredibly patient and helpful throughout the process, willing to answer all of our questions anytime we had them, and a fantastic advocate all the way. We are absolutely pleased and will happily pass her name along to anyone else looking to buy a house!

Rita helped us with the purchase of our new ranch land. She was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional and kept us informed every step of the way. Thank you Rita for all your hard work! Happy 2017!

Rita and Leah made my first home purchase as easy as it could be. They dealt with me as I panicked and stressed and worried, and kept the process going smoothly every step of the way. I am so glad to have had them as my partner in this transaction and would use them again in a heartbeat.
