Testimonials
My husband and I felt compelled to share our extraordinary experience so that other new home buyers can see the immense value in choosing the right realtor. We wholeheartedly recommend Richard Fowler from Realty Austin for all your future home buying needs. From the moment we met Richard at an open house, we were immediately struck by his exceptional professionalism and deep knowledge of the real estate market. His enthusiasm and dedication to his clients were palpable, and we knew right away that he was the perfect choice to help us find our dream home. Richard's expertise and attentiveness made our home buying journey an absolute breeze. He was always available to answer our questions, no matter how small, and provided us with insightful information that guided our decisions. His proactive approach ensured that we were informed, confident, and comfortable throughout every phase of the process. What truly sets Richard apart is his ability to connect on a personal level. He didn't just help us buy a house; he helped us find a home that perfectly suits our needs and lifestyle. His unwavering support and genuine care have left a lasting impression on us. If you're searching for not just a realtor but a true ally in the home buying process, Richard Fowler is your go-to professional. His blend of expertise, dedication, and warmth is rare, and we are profoundly grateful for his guidance. Richard didn’t just meet our expectations; he exceeded them in every possible way. Thank you, Richard, for not only finding us the perfect home but also making the journey there so memorable and enjoyable!
Richard was very professional throughout the engagement in his role. With his wealth of experience in the industry, he guided us well in making critical decisions. He provided detailed explanations where necessary. He laid out all the options available on the table to help us make the right decisions. He helped communicate clearly and efficiently to the buyers, offered advice on what all needed to be corrected to best sell the house besides helping with arranging resources (handyman, contractors, landscapers etc.), staging the house, getting the best amazing photos of the rooms, efficiently marketing the house as seen with the more than 50 plus showings, besides the multiple open house sessions. We could not have sold the house without his help and guidance in a tough market like this. He also was instrumental in negotiating with the builders when buying our new home. He coordinated throughout the buying process efficiently and to the best of our interest. We were able to close both houses (sold and bought) on the same day, and I'm sure it would've required managing coordination between multiple parties which Richard handled with ease. I could go on and on with the multiple instances where Richard's guidance provided tangible and intangible value. But in short, I'll sum it up as we were 'Blessed' to have Richard as our Realtor. We've already started recommending him as a realtor to friends, family and anyone else that we come across looking for a realtor and will continue to do so.
There is nothing but great words for Richard. We were recommended by a friend and since we engaged with Richard, he has been going above and beyond. Not only helped us find our new home in TX but also assisted where he could, such as recommending a handyman, cleaning service, etc. He served as a middle person and coordinated for us. He has worked very early in the morning and extended hours to provide us with the best and timely service. I will definitely refer Richard to my other friends who will need a realtor. My husband and I are very happy that Richard is our realtor and the friendship will continue.
We worked with Richard Fowler to buy our home. He stuck with us for 3 years amid all the Austin housing craziness. When we finally decided on a home and were close to closing, he had so many great suggestions on things we should get inspected and we are so glad we did! He really took the stress out of buying a home. He was our best advocate through the whole confusing process. Would highly recommend Richard and Realty Austin for your home being or selling needs.
Thank you for the support of our communities. Just icing on the cake of working with Richard and Realty Austin! This whole process can be stressful but Richard made it a great process and he really advocates for his clients! Would highly recommend Richard and Realty Austin to friends and family.
If you are looking to sell or buy a home in the Austin area, I highly recommend letting Realty Austin handle your needs. Our agent, Richard Fowler, not only listed, but staged, sold, and closed our home in Bastrop in about 30 days. Richard and his team are hand down, the most professional team of realtors I have ever used.
Richard Fowler sold our Cedar Park home quickly and for top dollar. He made the process smooth and as trouble free as any transaction can be. Thanks Richard!
I highly recommend Richard to help sell your home!! He was outstanding the entire process and walked us through each step of the way. He made this process seamless and stress-free which is hard to do selling your home! We are so grateful for him and the help he provided us. I know he had our best interest at heart the whole way through and it really showed. Thank you, Richard!! We so appreciate you!
You have no idea how grateful I am to have met Richard who was referred to me by my son after Richard sold his house last year at a great profit and he said Richard was amazing during the whole process. Richard is very smart, always advising me and making sense of my thoughts, he is so patient, so kind, so responsible, I trusted him fully and depended on him to make perfect choices. He sold my home at a price I never thought could happen, he made my dreams come true very modestly that I was able to afford a brand new condominium in Virginia Beach. I am the happiest person. You are very lucky to have such an honest and dedicated Realtor.
Not only have I had experience most recently as a seller, but in October 2020, I was introduced to Richard when my mother purchased her home and Richard was the seller’s agent. I got to know him through that experience and was very impressed with him at that time. When my mother passed away in October of 2021, there was never a doubt that our family wanted Richard to represent us in selling our mother’s home. Richard is a very professional realtor. His outgoing personality and verbal and written communication with others make him the perfect person to deal with prospective buyers and other realtors. He was always eager to help in any way he could to make sure our closing was going to take place – and I will say, we did have an issue several days before closing that he managed to resolve. His kindness to others always shows through as it did with another neighbor of my mother’s at a time of need. He has a great sense of humor and always a smile to share with others. I would definitely use him again to buy or sell a home.
Richard Fowler was truly a pleasure to work with. He responded promptly to our inquiries, and I genuinely felt that he was our champion as far as ensuring that our concerns and best interests were attended to. I'd happily work with him again.

It is our immense pleasure to recommend Richard Fowler as a realtor. Richard was one of many agents that we interviewed and we truly felt that even before Richard got the listing, he went above and beyond to gain our trust with his knowledge and detailed experience in the marketplace. Since we are moving out of state, there were many moving parts in our transaction and Richard handled them with grace and expertise. Richard involved us in the process to set a price for our home and was extremely knowledgeable in advising every step of the way. Richard and his teammate Donna went above and beyond staging our home to get the best return on our investment. We didn't even have to move a muscle as they went around our home and added such great attention to detail to every room. The home toured and pictured beautifully thanks to their staging capabilities. A master with the contract negotiations, Richard came up with a deal that was good for us and made the buyers happy as well. He offered us protection to make sure that we got the most value for our home and his efforts paid off immensely. We found Richard to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were his only customers, although we know that was not the case. He returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. He was also highly personable with an engaging personality that made him easy to work with even during stressful moments in the selling process. We are pleased to recommend Richard Fowler to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Richard Fowler is outstanding as a person and as an agent. He helped us buy our dream home and just helped us sell it to build our new one. Highly dedicated individual! I will recommend him to anyone selling or buying!
Richard Fowler was an excellent agent, low key but informative, giving plenty of space for decision making. He was excellent at checking back with me between visits, listened well, very competent, and honest. He was recommended to me by my son, who had purchased a house through him just a few months ago. I would certainly recommend him to anyone else.
It was our pleasure to work with Richard Fowler. We had previously worked with Richard when we moved from California and purchased our Texas home. Home buying and selling are stressful, and we so appreciated Richard’s strong background and wealth of knowledge about navigating the real estate market. We absolutely knew that Richard would help us again when we sold this home. Additionally, Richard provided us with all of the protocols and practices to keep us safe as senior citizens in this pandemic time.
I’m not usually the person to write testimonials, but after the incredible experience that my wife and I had working with Richard Fowler, I felt compelled to share my thoughts and document the experience. Richard is unlike any other real estate agent we had ever met. While a consummate professional, Richard felt more like a family friend than our agent. Richard has a certain demeanor that established trust and put us at ease. We truly felt that our interests were protected and that Richard always put our needs above anything else. That trust was essential to us since we had no idea what we were doing as first-time buyers. Throughout the process, Richard put his experience and expertise to work as he helped flag any potential issues and navigated us away from any pitfalls. He was always responsive even when we had silly questions at odd hours. Even after closing, Richard continues to reach out to check-in and provide helpful advice. My wife and I never thought we’d be in our dream house, but Richard helped make that possible. Thank you, Richard!
Richard is a rare type of person. He was extremely knowledgeable and very patient with us as we were first time home buyers. My wife and I moved out of state last year and had been navigating this journey of home purchasing dominantly on our own. I don't believe Richard missed a single appointment in the process. He even attended meetings he probably did not need to attend. Among all of this, not only was Richard an exemplary real estate expert, he was in many ways like a father figure for us. We are immensely appreciative of his support and guidance along the way. We are certainly looking forward to receiving his services in the future. My wife and I are very thankful that our paths crossed, and we were fortunate enough to have Richard lead us to become homeowners.
Richard Fowler has been outstanding as our Realtor in two separate real estate purchases. One of the purchases was a new semi-custom home build that involved complex issues with the home builder. Richard was very patient in dealing with our change requests and the unreal incompetency of the builder. Richard's demeanor, knowledge of the local real estate market, and experience of the complexities that come up in the buy and build process made the process much more bearable than it otherwise would have been. And, he's just a really good guy that our family has come to consider a friend.
Richard was an incredible real estate agent and made the process of buying a home 1000 miles away easy (we lived in GA and needed to buy in TX). He was always responsive to any questions that we had, no matter how small. We were only able to visit the area once, and Richard made time in his busy schedule to show us ALL of Austin and a ton of homes. When we finally found a home, he was quick to go look at it for us and video chat. We made an offer, and he helped with the negotiation process. Without his negotiation skills, I really believe we would have been out-bid by someone else. He then walked us through all the paperwork and made sure we understood every portion. I wish I could give Richard more stars. He is truly an amazing real estate agent, and the only one I will use/recommend in the future.
I highly recommend Richard Fowler. I've sold two houses now, and it's never an easy feat. Between home repairs, inspections, staging, and everything, it can be overwhelming, and I couldn't have done it without Richard. Richard managed to help me make the yard look prettier during a gloomy winter and do home repairs to maximize my sale, all while I had to start a new job in another city. He really knows what he's doing because he managed to get several offers, all well over my asking price, and get a quick close on the house. I think Richard knows everything you need to do to really get the home sale that you want.
I had run across Sydney Schuster one time before on a single listed piece of property, and I was so impressed way back then that I jotted her name down saying, \now here is someone I might use in the future.\" When it came time for my wife and me to finally return to Austin and build/buy our own home, I went back to that note and tracked Sydney down. She was no longer with her previous firm, but I found her with Realty Austin, and we took off from there. I am an architect and have met so many agents over my career. Sydney Schuster stands out. Sydney forms a comfortable and personal communication bond immediately. But then Sydney goes on to continually amaze me: her high energy, her tremendous organization skills, her professionalism and her attention to every detail. Her knowledge about the industry is solid, she knows the process, and has the savvy negotiating skills to make a contract work in a competitive market. We could not be more pleased. In the Austin real estate world, I think Sydney Schuster will be a Rock Star. "
Richard Fowler helped us buy our first house. We met him as the listing agent at an open house when we first started looking and were blown away by his professionalism, knowledge, and kindness. We decided to work with him right away as we knew we would be in good hands. He taught us how to choose the best house for our needs. Richard clearly cares a lot about his clients and wants to find the right home at the right price. You can tell by working with him that he is just a genuinely good person and would never lead you into anything that wouldn't be best for you. It's very reassuring feeling when you know you can trust your Realtor. Richard guided us through the entire process, from finding a neighborhood and house, making an offer, to doing inspections, negotiating the price, requesting repairs and closing. His attention to details made our entire buying experience easy and stress-free. Richard's guidance through the negotiating process was invaluable, and he put us in touch with many local experts. Richard was always there whenever we needed him. It was an amazing experience. We're so lucky we met him! Thank you, Richard! We feel like you're our good friend!
I am beyond pleased to recommend the Donna and Richard Team of Realty Austin. Richard Fowler is an outstanding Realtor whose sharp expertise and personal touch allowed us to sell our home in a very short time. He worked tirelessly to promote our house and advocated aggressively for us in all offers. In the end, my husband and I were very happy with our resulting offer. While he may say he became too invested in us, we appreciate his extraordinary level of care as our Realtor. Donna Ciccarelli was absolutely fabulous. She toured our home once and with her sharp eye and background in design, Donna immediately knew the best way to stage our home. I couldn't believe the way she utilized some of our own possessions in combination with her own staging materials. All of our house photos stood out in vast contrast to the other house photos on the market. Every person viewing our home left positive comments about how it was staged. I do not doubt that part of the reason we sold it was because of her hand in amplifying our home's beauty. These two are wonderful. I would unconditionally recommend Donna and Richard to anyone.
I was fortunate enough to have Richard Fowler as my real estate agent during the purchase of my home. It was a chance encounter after an internet search for homes in the suburbs of Austin, and I am very glad he was the agent that responded! He has been AMAZING throughout the ENTIRE process, and I can't say THANK YOU enough for his great advice and great negotiating skills during the purchasing process. If you're looking to buy or sell a home, do yourself and your family a favor and call Richard Fowler and have him represent you during the process. You'll be extremely happy with your decision! Thank you, Richard, for the great work you've done for my family and I! I appreciate all the hard work on my family's behalf!
Richard Fowler was a joy to work with. I had served with him in the Cedar Park Chamber for a number of years, and we developed a good connection. He is someone I trust. He went above and beyond to get my home sold. This was my first home, and I spent fourteen years there. I loved my house, and Richard knew it would be hard to let go. He fielded so many tasks and took the burden off me so the transition would be easier. He was encouraging along the way and ensured me we would find a buyer who would love the home as I did. You can't erase memories when you walk away from a property you love, but you can feel good that the new owners will create their own there. A good Realtor is the key to making that happen. I would recommend Richard to anyone considering selling or buying a home.
Donna is Fabulous. She went over and beyond our expectations. Donna is extremely knowledgeable and just a super fantastic nice person. Angela and I both feel extremely lucky to have found her and are extremely thankful for all she did for us in bringing the purchase of our first home to a close.
Awesome Realtors! Richard Fowler was awesome to work with! He got our home sold and helped tremendously in helping us find our new home! I would highly recommend their services!
Richard Fowler was our Realty Austin agent, and he was with us every step of the way. Richard helped us buy and sell and through the triumphs we overcame both. Richard is very thorough, informed and involved in the process. My husband and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who's in the process of buying and selling a home, especially if you desire a personalized and committed agent who represents your best interest every step along the way. Many thanks to Richard and his team for all they did to help us obtain our forever home!
Richard Fowler was a great Realtor. He priced my house higher than I thought it would be worth and it sold quickly. I highly recommend him as a Realtor, and I highly recommend working with Realty Austin.
It has only been a few months since the last closing on our house purchase with Sydney, so it would be a bit repetitive to list all the same accolades again, but let me say that there was no sophomore slump. Sydney is 2 for 2 with us, and now that we will be Austinites again, she will be the Realtor that we recommend to anyone who asks. Not only do I plan on staying in touch with Sydney, but my architect friends (and my family members alike) who met Sydney during our two transactions, now consider Sydney a friend and \go-to Realtor source,\" such is her open and engaging personality. Jennifer, it is abundantly clear, and I must emphasize that I have worked with Realtors in so many capacities through my own practice for 40 years, Sydney Shuster is going to be an absolute standout performer among your group. "
I worked with Richard Fowler. He was very professional throughout the process. His knowledge of the industry was great, and he provided sage counsel. Richard also has great connections with other reputable cleaning or construction companies that people need in the process.
This was our first time working with a Realtor and couldn’t be happier we chose Richard Fowler. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process of selling and purchasing our home. He was always available to answer any questions we had and was very understanding of what we wanted and directed us into the perfect home. We’re extremely happy with our purchase, and we would recommend him to anybody who needs a Realtor.
Donna changed my life. I didn't know anything about the selling process, and the paperwork seemed overwhelming, but Donna was with me every step of the way. I needed a lot of help and was on a time crunch. She took over and made everything happen. The day she held my open house, we received several bids. Not only did I get my asking price, but I also got much more. Donna helped me get through one of my lowest points and turned it into a positive, empowering experience. For that, I am forever grateful. She genuinely cares and wants the best for everyone. She is hands-on and helps with everything from start to finish.
My wife Laura and I made the decision to move. 16 years of memories: the house where we raised our two older boys and watched them graduate high school, the house where were had our daughter and watched her learn to walk and ride a ride a bike, the sledding hill, the cul-de-sac, the warm-hearted neighbor lady that made egg rolls for us after we'd mow her lawn or shovel her snow...all of it, thrown into boxes, loaded on a truck and hauled to somewhere. We knew we wanted to move to the "Austin area"...but that's a pretty big area - some good, some bad, some more desirable than others, etc...but where to start? Good friends of ours in Cedar Park told us about one of their neighbors. They said he was a good guy and that he was an agent and that we should talk to him. When my family came down to Texas for Thanksgiving, we met with Richard and his family too. It was nice and casual. He sat and listened to what we saw as our plan. We were just starting the process of selling our house up north, but Richard was able to take our scattered plans and put them in a sequential order for us to follow. Richard was with us, from that very moment, answering questions and providing feedback, getting us and keeping us on that sequential track. He wasn't selling our house up north, but he was getting us into a comfortable position for when it did sell. And when that day finally came, it wasn't an 'oh my God, now what' moment, it was 'ok, now we do this'. Like all home buyers, we had some ideas on what we wanted, what we liked, what we didn't (or at least what we thought we did and didn't). We wanted "space", we knew we didn't want to be on top of neighbors and have them on top of us. Did that mean out in the sticks? Did that mean new construction? Did it mean we'd have to sacrifice something to get it...a smaller house for a bigger backyard, or an older home needing lots of upgrades? Richard is very experienced, very methodical. He listened to all of it - the good, the bad and the out there...and he took it all in and made his own game plan. He spent time with us, always questioning, always listening. He showed us what we said we wanted, he showed us what we said we didn't want...both for the same reason, to make sure we were sure. Then he started showing us the "what ifs" and the "how about this". He educated us and took our "I want" blinders off. He helped us make a comfortable, informed, well thought out decision, not just a rushed, gut one. It was very calming, very reassuring. In the end, we were drawn to a beautiful newer developing community on the outside of Georgetown. Richard helped us find the land we were looking for and helped us find the builder we would end up loving. And even when his part was done, Richard wasn't. He stayed in constant contact with us and made himself available to us for any help we needed and any questions we had. As I was going through a personal struggle, Richard was there too, not as my agent, but as a friend. He was a great sounding board, he'd been where I was and was able to help me talk it through and give me some valuable advice. As of last week, we were moved into our forever home. We have a new beginning with new memories, in a new cul-de-sac, now with new friends (the Fowlers)...and Richard was a huge, huge part of that!
Donna was a pleasure to work with, and she really considered my families needs. She was professional and took what was a stressful situation and made it seem effortless. Donna was a hard worker and really knows her stuff. My kids grew very fond of Donna, and she even became a part of the family. Buying our home became a family affair. Donna will be the person we will go to our next house.
Richard did a great job and I would use him again without question.
We arrived in Austin in July and moved into an apartment with a three-month lease. Our goal was to find a home before the lease ran out and we knew we had to find a great Realtor to pull that off. Fortunately, we met a gentleman in our apartment complex soon after moving in, and he (highly) recommended Richard Fowler and Realty Austin. I called Richard that same day and had a wonderful conversation with him. We scheduled an appointment, and he came to our apartment the following day. My husband Paul and I were so impressed with his personality; he spent time getting to know us and listened to what our plans involved. We knew he was the right Realtor for us. Based on our wants/needs for a home, he set us up on email to receive listings of homes that fit our requirements. This gave us an opportunity to check out the homes online. We were able to choose homes that we were interested in and then notified Richard, and he scheduled appointments for us to view the homes together. This made great use of our time as we weren't running all over town wasting gas and not approaching the search smartly. Richard was helpful in every way during these appointments as it has been more than 17 years since we had purchased a home. He provided great insight and information regarding buying a home in Texas, what to look for and what to steer away from. Richard recommended that we take a look at some homes in new developments. We didn't think we could afford a brand new home and we were pleasantly surprised that we could get into a new home for the same amount that we would've paid in an older home. The home we fell in love with was exactly right in every way. Richard was with us every step of the way and always available to answer questions. We would never have considered that option and knew that we wanted and needed Richard to help us through the process. Richard has more than exceeded our expectations. He provides excellent customer service, he listens and gives great insight and advice. He's friendly and professional all at the same time. He has taken an interest in us as people, and we consider him as not only a great Realtor but a friend as well. We've been in our beautiful home since the end of September, and Richard has kept in contact with us. The relationship didn't end once the contract was signed. Richard is a 5+ star Realtor and a wonderful person. He's the real deal, and we're blessed that he came so highly recommended. We would highly recommend Richard Fowler and Realty Austin to our family and friends.
Richard Fowler really helped me with my first home buying experience. He was able to attend all of my walkthroughs and design gallery meetings not only to help make sure I was getting what I was paying for but also for suggestions. I am very thankful and appreciative of the help he provided. Would recommend to anyone!
If you are looking for a buyer's or seller's agent, look no further.....Richard Fowler is THE GUY! We had been searching for a new home for about two years when we first met Richard and were discouraged by the mediocre service of our previous Realtor. Richard took the time to listen and understand exactly what we were looking for and made it clear that he was focused on service. Richard's knowledge, attention to detail, candidness and passion for his work really stood out to us. We always felt that we could trust his feedback and guidance and that he truly had our best interests in mind. When we finally found our house, Richard's expertise helped us feel very comfortable from offer to closing. We also used Richard as our seller's agent to list our old house. Once again, we felt so fortunate to have him by our side guiding us through every step of what can be a very stressful and overwhelming time. His experience and network of fantastic contractors and service people helped us prepare our house to go on the market and focused on the key items that resulted in getting us the best possible offer. Richard provided us with exceptional service and guidance throughout the buying and selling process. We feel so fortunate to have worked with him and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Austin area.
We worked with Richard Fowler to buy our first home in Austin, then two years later, we worked with him again to sell our house. We talked to several Realtors and companies; Richard won us over with his professionalism, knowledge, financial experience and background, warmness and most importantly honesty. We immediately felt that this is the man we can trust and rely on while making big life investment and decision. Our gut feeling was so accurate that we had a terrific experience working with Richard and truly enjoyed the time spent with him. He is very responsive, personal, caring and funny. He is also amazingly well networked that any obstacle we had around the house, he could hook us up with someone to get them fixed quickly and at a decent price! He saved us some good amount of money when we were remolding our house. And of course, with his partner Donna's wise advice and accurate judgment, we remolded, staged and priced our house in the perfect way that our house got sold within ten days after putting it on the market while other similar houses were sitting on the market for almost two months! Bringing in his partner Donna, who has this artist's eyes and will turn your house into a magazine home for sure! They both came to my house with tons of stunning decors and devoted two days of hard work to put them on, which made our house desirable for the widest audiences. If you are going to use Richard and Donna, listen to their advice, they will make your house sell fast for top dollar! When we were buying our first home, Richard helped us find a home that met our wish list! And when we were selling our house, we need it get sold fast too, and with good investment return, so we can do some world traveling; Richard helped us nail that!! We truly think he is amazing and we feel fortunate that we had him as our Realtor! We already see him as a personal friend and will go to him again if we ever return to Austin.
Richard exceeded our expectations and personalized our home buying experience, helping us find our perfect home. He really\ got\" what we were looking for and worked to show us houses that fit our needs. He went above the call of duty on many occasions. We were moving in from out of town, so he helped us with getting inspections and quotes and meeting these companies at the house under contract, recommended many good service companies to us to choose from and really stayed on top of our deadlines. He helped us with negotiations in a very professional manner and made the difference in us getting our home in a \"hot' market with multiple contracts received in the first day of showing. If you want to buy a home in Austin, I would highly recommend Richard! You will get nothing but excellent service, a caring individual, a high integrity person, a professional experience and a home, not just a house. "
Richard Fowler by far exceeded my expectations as my realtor. This was my first time buying a home and he was so patient and helpful with me during this process. He was sure to explain any questions or concerns I had and also walked me through the whole process seamlessly to make sure that in the future if I wanted to resell my property there would be no issues. Richard did all he could to look out for me and my best interests especially since it was my first time buying a home and had no clue as to what I was doing. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all he did for me and highly recommend using him as your realtor if you are looking for one. Thank you so much, Richard (and Donna!) for all you guys did for me!
Richard is one of the finest individuals I've had the pleasure of knowing. His work on our behalf was impeccable. He skillfully guided us through the process. We were wise enough to take his recommendations and they paid huge dividends. The house was sold in a little over a week on the market for more than list price. Richard demonstrated real concern about us. He went out of his way to ensure that we understood what was happening and that our property was secure. He made sure we got the best deal possible and was very skillful in obtaining the best terms on our behalf. We highly recommend Richard to prospective Buyers or Sellers of Real Estate.
We have been in our new house in Cedar Park, TX four months now and we absolutely love the house and the community. We wanted to give a shout out to our wonderful Real Estate Agent, Richard Fowler. Richard made us feel like we were his only clients at all times and went above and beyond, not only in setting up multiple viewings on potential homes but also helping us with all the closing arrangements and details that went into our monumental move from Minnesota to Texas. Richard was exceptional at making sure we understood all the details regarding the paperwork/loan and was always available when we had any questions. Even after closing, Richard kept in touch with us to make sure we had everything covered and everything was running smoothly for us. Richard's attentiveness and attention to detail made this a painless and memorable move for our whole family and we owe him a huge amount of gratitude in guiding our family on to our next journey of experiencing life in Texas. Thank You!
Richard Fowler did an amazing job for us! He made everything go so smoothly and always informed us at every turn, even on things he didn't have to but that he knew would help us! He really cares about people, and it shows in the great work he does! He made searching for a house so easy because he set up searches for us and always respected our wishes. We were able to find many homes in the search that matched what we wanted, and he scheduled visits within a day at all of them! He gave us good perspective at each house that we really appreciated as first-time buyers. We closed on our house in less than a month from the date we first saw it, even with counteroffers and negotiations because he worked so hard! Amazing!
I had the pleasure of working with Richard Fowler to find my beautiful home. The whole process was phenomenal! He worked with me from California, around my hectic active duty schedule and found a home fit for me and my large family! I couldn't have been more blessed! Thank You, Richard!!!
Donna and Richard team, I couldn't have been more blessed or fortunate to work with them! The communication was phenomenal, and the vast selection of homes made it possible for me to choose a home fit for my family. As an active duty military member, they worked with my hectic schedule and ensured my needs were met.
Richard Fowler was very accommodating to our needs while also being refreshingly realistic and forthright when necessary. We had a very enjoyable, and pleasantly quick, home buying experience. At the time of our search, my husband and I were living on a month-to-month lease and were concerned that we would rack up significant costs while finding a house. However, Richard's attentiveness and ability to produce results kept those costs low. Three days before closing, we ran into an issue with our loan. Richard remained our champion and ensured that our lender was able to deliver a reasonable solution quickly so that we could have the home of our dreams. Even months after we moved into our new home, Richard called to check in and help assist with any problems. Not everyone finds the realtor of their dreams! We couldn't be happier with Richard's outstanding service.
Richard Fowler is a very professional, diligent and he cares about the seller and the buyer. There were a few problems during the sale and Richard was right on top of them to straighten them out, for a very smooth sale to benefit all. We can not thank him enough for selling our house and if we ever move back to Austin, Texas we will be calling him for our new home.
Thank you, Richard Fowler! Selling my house was a great process. Richard Fowler and Donna Ciccarelli were super helpful and made the whole experience stress free and that was priceless.
I had the pleasure of working with Richard Fowler. From the beginning, Richard understood that I was on a tight schedule needed to find a home and close as quickly as possible. Because I was relocating from out of state and had limited knowledge of the area, Richard's expertise allowed him to assess what was important to me and, based on his assessment, was able to provide spot-on suggestions for areas that would suit my needs. His guidance through the various new build communities allowed me to quickly rule out locations and homes without wasting time. He served as my advocate and allowed me to have a voice in the entire process and stood in as my proxy when I couldn't be in the state. His recommendations were spot on from getting home inspectors throughout the process to ensure that my concerns were addressed appropriately and thoroughly by the builder. He facilitated the best deal for me, which allowed me to get a home I love. Thank you, Richard and Realty Austin!
Richard Fowler helped us sell our home right in the middle of the COVID-19 shutdown. Despite uncertainty in the market, he quickly helped us gain confidence. He went above and beyond to help us sell the home based on our priorities, and we could not have been happier with the end result. He is a very experienced and professional realtor, a sound negotiator, and a straight shooter.
