TESTIMONIALS
Christopher Janecek
I had a wonderful experience with Ms. Stanley in the purchase of my home. She helped me navigate the swiftly moving interest rates, made herself available immediately to view as many properties as possible, and was willing to put in the work to find and execute a deal. I can’t thank Ms Stanley enough for helping me navigate all of the obstacles in the Austin housing market. Her knowledge and time made the difference in getting a deal done or none at all. I would highly recommend Ms Stanley for anyone looking to purchase a home in Austin or the surrounding area.

Thank you so much, Kate! I didn't think that I would find a rental home in such a short amount of time with little to no stress and it was all because of you! Kate & I were neighbors and not only was she an awesome neighbor but she is one fantastic realtor! She helped me find a rental home within a few days from the start, she is extremely responsive with extensive knowledge. She even went above and beyond to answer a list of questions I had throughout the process and offer great tips as it was my first time renting a home. I would recommend her to anyone I know looking to rent or purchase a home, condo, apartment, or whatever it is that you need! <3

As a first-time home buyer, I could not have been luckier to work with Kate. The process of finding a home (in Austin, in a crazy market) seemed overwhelming at first, but she expertly quelled the chaos: she pared down the listings to just those worth looking at, met me all across town for showings, wrote up compelling offers, and had answers to my endless questions. I truly appreciated her patience - rooted in her determination to find me the right home - as well as her encouragement when I needed it most. After I finally got an offer accepted, Kate had everything lined up to support my aggressive option period and closing date, including an inspector at the property in less than 2 days. When the lender's appraisal came in low at the 11th hour and put me in a tough spot, she provided comps that got them to raise the appraisal by nearly 65k! I can't overstate how much her hard work contributed to me being able to buy this home. Beyond the business aspects of my experience, all of my interactions with Kate prove that she is a genuine person who really cares about making dreams like mine come true; she's warm, personable, and overall just a joy to work with.

I cannot begin to explain how crucial it was for me to have worked with Kate as my realtor. Every single step of the way, she was involved, even in times where I wouldn't have thought a realtor would want to be. She helped guide me toward a decision while still allowing it to be MY decision and supporting whatever decision I made but also not allowing me to make any bad decisions if that makes sense. You can tell she truly cared about the long term effects of the client and not just the sale. We had a blast together throughout the process so it's like shopping for a house with a really knowledgeable girlfriend, but one who doesn't let anyone get away with anything. She will go to bat for you. She will argue when needed to get you what you need but she's the sweetest person ever so I think people just end up doing what she's asked because she's asked so nicely. She really is a gem and so incredibly invested in her clients' success and happiness long term. I could not have asked for a better experience.
