Client Testimonials
In our recent home buying experience Violet wasn't just helpful, she was indispensable. We spent 2 years looking for the right home for our family and Violet made it her personal mission to find exactly what we wanted. The market in Austin is challenging. We needed someone with deep experience and market knowledge. In the end we found exactly what we wanted for our family. We are so very grateful to have had Violet throughout it all. And after we settled in our new home, we leased our previous home and had Violet list it and find us our new tenants. Both my wife and I would highly recommend Violet if you are looking to buy, sell or lease property.
- Kyle & Ronna Geisler"First off, Sonia was very easy to talk to. We were very new to this process of buying a home and didn't know where to start. She was able to take us through the process step by step and answered all of our questions. Sonia was always kind, willing to help us, and work around our schedule. She was flexible with us even when we changed our minds a few times and pivoted to find us what we were looking for. She met with us a couple times to look at homes. Always listening and gathering information of what we liked and what we didn't like in the home. She helped us find the house we just closed on and couldn't be more excited to move in! She did a great job with the negotiations and knew all the right questions for us to ask the seller. We appreciate everything Sonia did for us!"
- mattsivellsThanks for help with all of this Earl. I appreciate your professionalism and your casual manner so much! I will be calling you when it comes time to sell my other house.
- Annie R & Michael G - Represented by Earl PriceThank you, Violet, for the outstanding services you provided for selling my condo. I’ve worked with other realtors before for both buying and selling my homes and rental properties, and you’ve been by far the most knowledgeable and effective in helping me maximize my sales price. Your recommendations for prepping to sell were all very affordable and high impact. I valued your expertise for pricing, staging, marketing, and negotiating to a successful close. Other realtors seem to just want to “get the deal done” but you truly had my best interests at heart and the right plan of action to make it happen. I also appreciate that you are very capable with rentals, too, since you helped me lease out an empty unit in a duplex to some really great tenants at the same time. I feel very confident that you’ll be able to handle all of my realtor needs in the future.
- WestbergMy husband and I contacted Bill Austin to discuss a house on acreage that we had been watching for about a month. We met, discussed the bank owned property, and after experiencing his respectful, honest communication and obvious real estate knowledge and experience, we knew that he would help us to secure our dream property. Through many twists and turns, ups and downs, Bill remained diligent and optimistic yet realistic. When we finally got the bid, he was a successful and ardent liaison between us, the mortgage broker, and the title company. He gave us all the support we, as first time home buyers, needed and made the experience easy. We now call this property home. Bill is wonderful to work with and I fully recommend his services.
VL - VL - Represented by Bill AustinWe've worked with several realtors over the years, and I have to say that Sharmin stands out in the best possible way. She is extremely personable, helpful without being overbearing, and refreshingly honest and straightforward - we really felt like she had our best interests at heart and wasn't just trying to push a property on us that didn't meet our needs. We were looking at rental properties, and I was super impressed by how organized and responsive she was in terms of finding listings, scheduling viewings, and following up with owners/property managers to get answers to our questions. Sharmin was a joy to work with - super competent and so likeable, I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell or rent a home in a heartbeat!
- Ann DJennifer is a wonderful person all around. She’s very kind, patient, and honest. Jennifer researches the neighborhoods, price ranges, and schools for you. I am incredibly fortunate to have met you, Jennifer. Keep up the great work and thank you for all of your help this past year!
- Michelle NguyenI met Anuj during an Open House. I was very impressed by his knowledge about Austin area, schools and housing market, so decided to work with him. He helped me to narrow down my search and to find the house within a week time. Even after finding the house, he did an excellent negotiation to bring down the selling price and get some of the repairs done on the house. He also helped me to negotiate the lease back with the sellers. I have worked with other agents before, when I bought my first house. I find Anuj's expertise is lot better and very helpful for the buyers. If you are buying a house, I strongly recommend Anuj as your agent.
- Archipelago Trail : Represented by Anuj JaiswalI'm not sure there is much I can add now that we've closed on our home. Except perhaps to add, it's been wonderful to have "navigated" through this home acquisition "voyage", if you will, with you at the helm! We could not have been luckier than to have made your acquaintance which enabled this realization of a dream for us.
Jennifer was wonderful, she found us a great deal in Cedar Park where it’s hard to find deals. She was fast and efficient when communicating to the mortgage brokers, sellers, and inspectors. I have never worked with someone that offered so many options and explained every last detail, we couldn’t have asked for more. She always (and I mean always) communicated any issues and stayed on top of everything. If you are wanting to buy or rent in and around Austin please call Jennifer, she is amazing. Thank you Jennifer!
- Mary FlickingerJennifer is fantastic to work with! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor that will go the extra mile and keep your best interests at heart. Jenn helped us navigate the south Austin / Kyle area when looking for a new home and we are very happy with our new house!
- Fred and Alissa SavageAs the executor of my father’s estate, I was responsible for selling my father’s house. My son recommended Violet Leff, who had helped him purchase his house. After working with her, I understand why he spoke so highly of her. She is an amazing realtor who more than earns her commission. After viewing the house, she suggested what work could be done to help the house sell quickly. She met me at Home Depot and Lowes to help me choose fixtures, flooring, and paint. She sent me alerts about sales as well as a list of contractors. My emails and questions were answered quickly and I regularly received alerts when other homes in the neighborhood were put on the market. Whenever I was overwhelmed, she calmed me down. She spent hours staging the house. I had an offer in less than a week after placing the house on the market. Violet continued to work tirelessly to ensure that the closing went smoothly. After the closing she took me out for coffee, well aware of the bittersweet feelings I would have after selling a home that my parents had lived in for well over 20 years. She is an incredible realtor and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy and/or sell a house.
- Deborah BrailasBianca did a fantastic job for us in selling our home, from beginning to end. We were especially pleased with the pre-sale work, including some very well executed photos that presented our house in the best possible light! The house sold in a day, and well over asking price, so we couldn't have been any happier. She really cares and will work hard for you as either a buyer or seller. I would highly recommend Bianca to anyone considering selling or buying a home in the Austin area.
- Rose & Greg MillikenViolet worked with us for over 2 years to find the perfect place. She was very patient, even though what we wanted was not likely to come up. In fact, we were literally researching contractors to add on to our house instead of moving. So when she said we should look a one more place, I was apathetic, especially because the online listing looked awful. But she saw that, with some cosmetic updates, this place was perfect for us. Amazing! Then she helped us quickly sell our first home in time to use those funds for a downpayment. Throughout it all, she helped us navigate the paperwork, banks, titles, sellers, inspectors, and negotiations, etc. etc. and quickly took care of business.
- Cheris LiffordJennifer was a dream for us. She went entirely out of her way to find us our dream home from start to finish. We were completely new to this and very apprehensive, all the way through she made us comfortable and aware of all the facts. We could not recommend anyone more highly.
- Brit Oliphint"My husband and I purchased our first home at the end of 2019, and Sonia was a godsend to the home buying process. We couldn't have done it without her! Our experience with her was so great that we recommended her to our good friends, who have also since purchased a property with her. She continues to help us with our home months later with things like homestead exemptions, protesting assessed property values, and refinancing our mortgage. Look no further, you have found your realtor :)"
- Hayley Tiefenthaler"My Home Buying process began in May 2019 (my apartment lease was set to end in eight months) and I wanted to start early. It was my First Home after all! At the time, I was inspired by a colleague who was very satisfied with her new condo/location/seamless real estate process. That’s WHY I picked Sonia Comisarenco.
She was super responsive. Called me within a week after returning from a vacation trip. Accommodated my busy work hours and met me after office hours. Even suggested to come meet me at my apartment or at a coffee shop nearby. We hit it off right away (she wanted to know about me (hobbies, expectations, why now, priorities.) Explained thoroughly the Real Estate process and terminologies despite not being usual to do so).
She knew I wanted to learn as much, gladly taught me and gave me good advice and reader friendly brochures. I was a very indecisive yet skeptical young buyer. I wanted a Condo at first, then a House, then nothing, back to the Condo, back to the House, etc. Sonia was so patient and calmed despite my demanding and intense personality. She showed me around to all the Condos and Homes I wanted to see or know about from her weekly emails. Sonia responded to every text, call, email I sent for every little question. Sonia really treated me like a daughter.
As a young, single woman, she taught me a lot about purchasing my First Home and how to have realistic expectations and still be able to find that First House (which I did within 60 days from putting an offer!). Sonia guided me financially to help me balance between my apartment lease and upcoming mortgage RIGHT! Those payments never overlapped. It all worked out perfectly thanks to Sonia! With Sonia at my side, I got the house I wanted and with EVERYTHING I wanted.
Sonia looked after me and we were in control. She thought of everything like where the house was facing!! She recommended North so the sun wouldn’t hit straight at me all day and increase my electric bill during summer! I was already decorating in my head and Sonia was the one asking the important questions.
Thanks to her, I switched my mentality and started asking all the gritty nitty details of home purchasing. During my Under Contract process, she took over in situations I wasn’t comfortable or familiar with. She stepped in like a champ. She was firm and adamant, on my behalf, with most of the demands I had as the Homebuyer. She asked around with her colleagues and used her Realtor experience to make sure I was getting all the benefits and entitlements from the builder. I now consider Sonia Comisarenco a friend (and my go-to mom figure while in Texas) and would highly recommend her to anyone that is searching for a new home. Thanks again to Sonia and the Team Price Realtors for being such a pleasure to work with!!"
- anawong19926It was truly a pleasure working with Violet! She was very knowledgeable, thorough and professional. She led us through every step of the process and kept things moving along smoothly. She made sure we were informed of all the interest in our property and helped us select the best tenants. Thanks to her efforts we were able to rent our property very quickly. Violet stayed in touch even after the new tenants had moved in to make sure everything was going well. We would definitely recommend Violet to anyone who needs assistance leasing their property.
- Marvin and Alma BrownThe Bowersock Team loves Jennifer & highly recommends her for any of your realty needs. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with.
- Sydne Armstrong"We had originally planned to go with a different Realtor, but due to some minor circumstance chnages, we needed to find someone else. Sonia had helped us get into our previous Rental situation, and had a stellar review having worked with some close friends of ours. It was an easy decision at that point. Then, it was a breeze. We layed out the essential criteria we were looking for and Sonia found us a slew of candidate houses. She was able to adjust on the fly, with alternate properties at the ready when our Sq Ft. requirements increased, and as she became aware of just how important certain house characteristics were to us. Even once it seemed pretty clear which house we were planning to go for, she recommended that we see a few more, in order to either lock in our decision, or make us realize there was something else we wanted. Could not have asked for a better experience on showings. Then, once we engaged with the one we were interested in, Sonia brought ample knowledge to the bargaining table, and I feel like we saved a few thousand dollars that we wouldn't have without her. After getting locked in, Sonia walked us through the entire process leading up to, and through, closing. She really hit it out of the park if I'm being honest, and I fully intend to continue working with her whenever possible/needed."
- jonathon brehmBrandon was our agent in a sale and purchase. Both transactions turned out to be rather complex and took a lot of his time to finalize the deal, but throughout it all we never felt pressured to complete the deal and his first concern was that we had all the information to make the best decision for what was best for us.
- Robert ColeJenn is a fantastic Realtor. I first met her at an open house in 2017. She remembered things I was looking for in a property and even though I wasn't ready to do anything, she contacted me when things I liked came on the market. Recently she helped my daughter and I find a new rental house when our current landlord put our current place on the market. She looks at all the details and really helped us find a place that was right for us. I highly recommend Jenn for any of your RE needs. Thank you, Jenn! xo
- Jennifer GressJenn was very helpful when we went to Austin to check the properties there. We were very impressed by her knowledge about the area and properties we were looking for. Highly recommended if you are looking for houses in Austin.
- Yuxi Hu“Bill is an superb real estate agent! He not only excels in his field, his work is incredibly valuable due to being able to receive his quality work and its benefits. He knew when to dissuade us from a poor choice and when to encourage us to get just what we want. When we were on the right track, Bill could get each step done quickly. You will be glad you chose Bill, and so will your pocketbook!” January 10, 2012

K & J S - K & J S - Represented by Bill Austin"Regina helped me to understand the ins and outs of purchasing my first income property. I could have never done it without her! Regina’s solid knowledge of real estate, experience as a landlord, and familiarity with local taxation and HOA rules helped me to make the right decision. "
- Judy E.My mom moved here from California and thank God we had Jennifer to help her out. My mom had a difficult time with her realtor in California, but Jen was able to communicate with him to ensure he did his job correctly. Based on my mom's specifications she was able to find her the perfect house in Hutto.
My mom had some issues with the closing of her home in California; Jennifer was able to effectively communicate with seller in Hutto to extend the close. I don't know what we would have done without her. To say she is Awesome, does not do her justice. She is a great person and is always positive.
- Drew BarschOliver helped me buy and sell homes . His driven work ethics are superb! ...HIGHLY recommend him !!!!!
