Testimonials

We sold our home in NY at the end of Feb 2010 and flew to Austin a few days later to aggressively house hunt. We were able to make an offer, go into contract, get the inspection done and set up home insurance – all within a week with the help of Susan. We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us with this long transition process.

It was a pleasure to work again with Susan on the sale of my house in Lakeway. Susan was always available with quick insightful answers to my questions. She handled all the paperwork very professionally and made sure I understood any technicalities that might have made me stumble in my responses. I couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable and personable person to work with in a very stressful personal situation.

We recently used Susan to buy a downtown condo at the W. Being from out of state and with limited travel available we were totally dependent on her as our eyes, ears and nose. Moving very quickly she took our wants and immediately got to work visiting the buildings that had potential and cataloging availability, pricing, amenities, floor plans, views and the like. She presented us the findings in a very organized and easy to understand format. Once we narrowed our focus to a building she helped us pick the units that best met our goals and make a compelling offer in our comfort zone. We were able to close on our unit quickly and get to work furnishing. We couldn't be more excited about the condo location and cost both of which we attribute to Susan's professional and friendly guidance.

We’ve worked with Susan on two houses since 2009 and both were great experiences. As these things go, the negotiations required a lot of communication and she was very responsive. Very knowledgeable of the area and we ended up with exactly what we wanted. Even helped arrange a mover from house 1 to house 2. She will always be our first call for future real estate needs.

We used Susan as our realtor in our recent move from Birmingham. She was terrific, very easy to get along with, incredible attention to detail and very accessible as we were living out of state. We house hunted in Austin twice, and she made great use of our time with tours of the area and appropriate houses to scout. She was helpful with the negotiations and determining fair market value for the home. As we were out of town, Susan was at our new home during the inspection; she recommended contractors for the repairs and coordinated the majority of them. She even provided helpful referrals for doctors, hairdressers, etc. and left us a goody bag at our new house filled with Austin goodies. It was a great experience working with her, and I highly recommend her services.

My wife and I recently utilized Susan’s services concerning the purchase of our first home. The stories are true, purchasing a new home, and purchasing a home in general, can be a stressful process. We can’t imagine having done so without the assistance of Susan and her team. Potential problems were met in advance and rectified quickly due to her diligence and vast knowledge concerning Austin area realty. She ceaselessly endeavored on our behalf to get us exactly what we wanted and how we wanted it. She was competent and courteous at task and very informative. Her communication skills, amongst us, the lender, and the seller, were flawless. We received compliments from all parties involved at regular interval. Communicating with the client is important, but her ability to win over the seller was paramount. I would not hesitate to utilize her services again or to recommend them to anyone seeking out what must be, Austin’s Best Realtor.

My wife and I worked with Susan on the purchase of our second home in Austin. We cannot recommend Susan enough! Buying a home is a remarkably stressful process. Susan did a great job putting our minds at ease and was always available to answer questions or bounce ideas off of. She was very generous with her time and didn't try to push us into a home that we were not 100% happy with. She really does have her client's best interest at heart. In the end, Susan helped us to negotiate not only a lower price, but also a new roof for our home (after the inspector uncovered some hail damage). We're thrilled with the home we purchased and grateful that we found Susan and her team. We won't hesitate to call Susan, should we ever need to sell our home or buy a new one.

I’ve known Susan Avant for quite a while as our sons were in school together. I specifically selected Susan because she’s always been very positive and knowledgeable about her profession. Her professionalism is a source of confidence in her for me. I feel she was discreet and confidential in her dealings with us both in giving a fair assessment of our house to be sold and her advice in the house we chose to have built. During the construction process, she went above and beyond in attending construction meetings, advising us on selections and reassuring us as we progressed through the process. I doubt every realtor would have been as attentive. Selling our house proved to be a challenge, but she reassured us, giving us advice along the way as to how we might improve the marketing of our house. It took a while in a competitive market, but she kept us abreast of changes, competing homes, and in the end, guided us as we made our decision on a buyer. I highly recommend Susan Avant.

Susan has always had a passion for her community whether it's through real estate or social and charitable organizations. She listens, makes your needs and desires a priority, and has the unique ability to match them to your new home. I have benefited greatly from her experience and am lucky to call her my friend and realtor for life.
