Testimonials

M. Fisher

One of the best parts about looking for a new home was working directly with Susan Russell and her team at Realty Austin. She leaned into the process hard for my wife and me to find the perfect home for our family. Right out of the gate, she was invested 100% She kept us in the know every moment that was necessary. She did NOT skip a beat! Her communications are extremely on point. She is VERY connected in Texas, making inspection, loaning, and everything in the process a breeze. She made the entire experience effortless. Susan had the courage to advise us against homes we loved - that agreeably would not have been a wise investment based on long-term goals and maintenance cost. She is an experienced professional real estate advisor. She put us and our interests first and above all else. My wife and I agree Susan Russell is one of the most professional business representatives we have met and are invested in staying connected to her for a lifetime. Thank you, Susan!

Susan was absolutely amazing to work with and got us a home that we love for LESS than what we were willing to pay! She went above and beyond in so many ways, including working to close our offer while she was on vacation. Even after closing, she continues to go above and beyond to help us with little things and make sure we’re settling comfortably into our new home. We wouldn’t have wanted to work with anyone else!! Susan is truly a gem.

Robert & Teresa

We are endlessly grateful to have Susan as our agent and couldn’t be more happy with the way everything worked out. Susan is truly a Blessing to us. The very first time we’ve met Susan, we felt a deep sense of trust that we will be cared for with extreme kindness, respect & excellence. Susan is smart, professional & kind. On a rating scale of 1-10, we give her 110%, she always made herself available to us. Susan went over & beyond her responsibilities. We will definitely, 100% recommend her to our family, friends & to anybody who is looking for a realtor. We sincerely value all the help she has given us.

I cannot say anything but great things about Susan. She has been there every step of the way to navigate us through it. I will definitely use her services when buying another property or selling my properties.

Matt & Taylor Shannon

Susan did an outstanding job helping us from start to finish in the midst of the chaotic resale market, so we went with a new build option and didn't pay a dime more than the listed builder's sticker price. She was very personal, approachable, and charismatic about her work and our family find a home. Just like my personality, open and honest and frank is how Susan handled our house hunt, and we could not be happier with the final outcome. Even with the builders pushing to close on our house by 9/30 deadline, she made sure to carefully review every spot of our house together and note down on the affidavit what outstanding items had to be finished ASAP.

Kent and Chris Landry

Susan has been great! We enjoy her professionalism and diligence to task on getting our investment property purchased..and now relisted for sale. We have trust in her ability to guide us in this market and ensure we maximize our resources appropriately. She is a valued and skilled team member, and we look forward to working with Susan for years to come

Anthony

Our experience with Susan Russell was exceptional. Susan was professional, knowledgeable, and always put us first. There is nothing better than getting more than you expected from a service!   Susan was instrumental in getting this house sold. Susan did this by making sure the process never stalled. From holding the buyer's agent accountable to making sure our I's were dotted, and T's were crossed, Susan was on it. Whether you're a seller or a buyer, one needs an agent with Susan's skills to manage the stress in a real estate transaction.

Amber Janak

Susan had just the right amount of push needed to keep us focused on prepping our house to put it up for sale. She is very knowledgeable about the current market, and we felt comfortable pricing our house with her guidance. Having lived in our house for 15 years, every decision felt so personal, and she was able to help us see our decisions from a logical standpoint. She was very patient in dealing with the many personalities involved in our transaction, and she deserves a crown! We don't sell properties often, so the "hand-holding" was necessary. Thank you very much, and we will refer Susan to everyone and anyone buying or selling.

Vijay Kamineni

Susan was a pleasure to work with. She was always available to take time and explain things as we were not from the Austin area. She was a great advocate for us and worked with us, and also gave unbiased advice. In fact, I referred her to my colleagues, and one of them bought a couple of properties in Austin. She was very open and trustworthy, especially when we are out of town. Realty Austin has a winner there, and they probably know that.

Claire and Frank

It was our great fortune, and best of luck to find Susan Russell! What a blessing and joy Susan is to work with as our realtor. Her unfailing efforts, energy, patience, and good cheer, throughout our changing criteria (stairs ok, stairs not ok, etc.) resulted in our finding our dream home. She has been and continues to make what can be an overwhelming transition possible. Successful. A real dream come true. If or when we wish to make another change in houses, selling, or buying, Susan will be our go-to realtor and person. She is a treasure.

Theresa Gallion

Susan is incredible. I have appreciated her help and friendship over the past two years since we have been working on getting me settled here in Austin. She is extraordinary in every way, has such incredible enthusiasm, and is now regarded as a close personal friend. Thank you so much, Susan!

Matthew Moorehouse

Susan Russell did a great job. I will recommend Susan and Realty Austin to others.

Kirstin Hardy

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Susan Russell. When plans to meet with another Realtor fell through 1 week before we flew to Austin, she was ready and willing to take us on as clients! We came from San Diego and had a couple of days to look at properties. Susan was extremely attentive and informative leading up to our arrival in Texas. We reviewed properties online, and she had a detailed itinerary ready for us. Susan was able to give us great advice about communities and the area. We had our 9-month old with us, and she was even kind enough to sit with him in the car while he napped so that we would tour the home. Amazingly, we found the perfect home that weekend, and the sellers accepted our offer before we were flying back to San Diego. Susan was extremely helpful in helping us find the right lender and continued to be a support system to us when we were preparing to move. She was kind enough to meet with contractors for work being done on the home, sent us photos of appliance serial numbers, looked at paint samples, and even let us know the grass length was not going to get us an HOA fine! I cannot say enough about how she went above and beyond for my family. We're in our home now, and could not be happier. It feels like we've found a new home, and friend, with Susan. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor.

First Time Home Buyers - First Time Parents Buying your first home can be daunting and stressful and looking for a home while expecting your first child can become overwhelming. Lucky for us we were working with Susan who is the epitome of customer service. We met Susan on a cold rainy day and she had on a big bright smile. She immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured that she would help us find the perfect home for us. We saw many many houses in various cities as we were undecided on where to live. Throughout the process, Susan helped us narrow down our needs and were also able to get our wants. It was like having a very knowledgeable friend by your side while taking on one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. She was always prepared with pertinent information and would point out things we hadn't thought about. Something we loved was that Susan was always available to answer any questions we had, and oh boy did we have questions. Once we found our house she helped us negotiate exactly what we wanted to pay for it. We knew what was happening at all times as Susan constantly kept us updated. She was very engaging and we felt her commitment from day one to the day we closed. We couldn't have done it without her and we feel very fortunate and grateful to have worked with her. Thank you for everything and for always making us feel like we were your only client.

Judith Uzcategui

Susan Russell was a delight and a blessing to work with. She was patient with us as we went through the process of buying our first home. In hindsight, we were very naive and didn't fully understand what our expectations were, and Susan gracefully showed us many houses and counseled us along the way. We were also on a deadline, as our baby was due in a few months and she always kept our family's needs top of her mind! In every situation, we always felt like Susan had our backs and was fighting and advocating for us until the very end! We are very grateful for her and her hard work, and we would not have found, got our offered accepted or closed on the house we wanted we if it weren't for her tireless work! Up until the day of closing and beyond, Susan has been there to make sure \every last detail\" was taken care of on our behalf! We'd recommend her to our friends and will work with her again in a heartbeat."

Brian and Georgette Hardy

We have known Susan for 13 years and felt confident she was the agent who was prepared to take on a challenge. Her enthusiastic, positive attitude allowed her to confidently research our \niche\" community and effectively market our home. Her professionalism and care to every detail were evident from the initial staging to final selling of the home. Susan was always available to answer any questions or address issues as they came up during the process. She utilized her Realty Austin Team when needed to ensure all concerns were handled properly. Susan represented both the seller and buyer and negotiated getting us a very fair top price for our home. Susan exceeded our expectations and ensured every detail was handled to the very end of closing! We highly recommend Susan and will refer her to friends and family. Susan did an awesome job. "

Josh Dawson

Susan was excellent, extremely knowledgeable and took the time to source properties that met my criteria. I recently moved to Austin, and Susan was able to educate me on the various neighborhoods and Texas property laws. I have already referred a friend to Susan.

elange505

Moved here from another state, helped us in all possible ways. Extremely helpful and attention to details of what we were looking for in a home. That made the transition on the relocation much simplified.

Andrew Ha

I worked directly with Susan Russell, and she was wonderful to work with. Words cannot describe how amazing of an agent she is. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and fun to work with. I highly recommend Susan!

marthaocampo5

Susan is very reliable and easy to talk to. The really impressive part about our home buying experience with Susan was her persistence to find exactly what we wanted. She also made sure to inform us about the reality of how difficult it was, during a sellers market, to find what we wanted.
