Austin Luxury Realty

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Carlos Gonzalez-​Chavez from Austin Luxury Realty for his superb services finding us a new home! It is exactly the type of home that we dreamt of renting. It’s in the area we wanted, the size we wanted, the price we wanted, and the process was smooth and successful, thanks to Carlos! It was such a success that my parents hired him to sell their condo and now my boss is going to work with him to find us a new office. We are incredibly grateful for Carlos and his excellent work. We highly recommend him and Austin Luxury Realty!

I had the honor to work with Kevin Lenarcic with Austin Luxury Realty. He was very responsive and knew a lot about the Austin area. He provided me with a lot of options given my limit time frame and pet. I was very pleased that he was able to find me a place in a quick time frame that I absolutely love. I definitely recommend working with Kevin or Austin Luxury Realty.

Kelly Ladner was our realtor & she is AMAZING!!! My husband & I were moving from out of state and she was always available via phone or email. When we gave her what we were looking for she did not disappoint! When we came out to look at the properties we were interested in Kelly was extremely friendly as well as professional… oh and patient :) she worked with us throughout the entire process even hand delivering our application. Thank you so much Kelly for making our transition so smooth.

I have had the honor of working with Carlos Gonzalez –Chevez with Austin Luxury Realty not once but twice. Carlos has been absolutely wonderful to work with. Carlos goes above and beyond normal expectations,
I look forward to my next home serch with him.
Thank you Carlos.

I was having trouble finding a place to fit my budget and location preferences and I came across Kevin on a posting for a place l liked. He immediately responded to my email and after a lot of work on his end, personally showed me three apartment complexes, and my boyfriend and I chose one that he selected for us. He listened, worked with me even when it must have been difficult as I changed my mind about budget and housing style, and in the end found us our dream place. He was very helpful, straight to the point, and always kept our budget and needs in mind. Look forward to going to Kevin to help us find our next home and referring him to friends in Austin.

Excellent! Can’t say enough positives about our experience with Kevin. He helped us find a beautiful home to rent in record time! Very professional and personable. I highly recommedn him to anyone looking to rent or buy. He’s fantastic!

Kevin was knowledgeable about Austin and worked with us to find just the right rental home. He was a pleasure to spend time with –we found a great rental home during our three day search.

First, RUDE!
Second, DISAPPOINTING!
I contacted Kevin Lenarcic via Craig’s List posting. I sent him a detailed email about what I was looking for, i.e. budget, neighborhoods, # of bedrooms, pet policy, and amenities. His email reply: «Send me your phone number. I’ll send you the list.». Okay, I understand that people take precautions as there are illegitimate solicitors in cyber space. So, I sent him my cell phone number. His answer: «Send me what you are looking for, budget, bedrooms, etc» WTF! I’ve already sent him all the information in my initial email! Besides, he never introduced himself or greeted me with any kind of Southern kindness. Well, I took a deep breath, then I texted him the detailed information. Then, guess what? He NEVER REPLIED! He dropped me like a hot potato. I sent him another text asking for an update. He NEVER REPLIED!!!
Well, I surely hope this is not how all of the agents/​apartment locators at Austin Luxury Realty treat the clients. Unfortunately, my experience was RUDE and DISAPPOINTING.
I contacted another realtor (also, via Craig’s List) at Apartment Specialists. Scott Sledge responded to my email and has been incredibly helpful finding the right apartment for me. His meticulous and generous assistance, patiently answering all my questions/​demands, has alleviated my stress of finding a home in a new state (I am relocating from PA). Now, I am looking forward to moving to Austin!
So, if you are looking for a helpful and friendly realtor, stay away from Austin Luxury Realty and contact Apartment Specialists. Cheers!

Carlos Gonzalez Sanchez helped me find our apartment in Austin. It was so wonderful to work with him in addition to being very professional and knowledgable. Carlos really went the extra mile to find the perfect place for us. He listens to our special needs and is extremely attentive. Carlos has all the right ingredients for a top notch real estate broker. I have already recommended him to other friends because I know they will be in very good hands.

We are new to the Austin area and were referred to Liz by a friend. She was more than helpful with finding is a place to rent. We started speaking with her months before our move and she helped us make our extremely broad search more specific. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Austin and its surrounding areas. We came out to visit about a month before our move and, although we were not ready to sign a lease yet, Liz met with us for an afternoon to help us choose an area. When we finally arrived for good, she helped us quickly find a place to live and we love it. I would strongly recommend Liz to anyone looking to buy or rent in the area.

We needed to relocate to Austin and came across ALR’s website. We were linked up with Kevin and had a great experience with him finding us a place. He quickly sent us a very detailed list of properties that met our criteria and we were easily able to choose a home. Because of his extensive knowledge of the property, we took the place sight-​unseen and he was even able to negotiate a second parking space for us! Kevin was always quickly accessible by phone, email, and text and made this move stress-​free. We look forward to using him in the future.

It was great working with Brandon! He really catered to our every demanding need and was always there to answer a phone call, sms or email right away!
He was also very handy at recommending great services and had lots of resources.
I would definitely recommend working with Brandon at Austin Luxury Realty to anyone interested in finding the right home!
Thank you Brandon

Liz Hart is the best realtor I could’ve asked for! As a first time buyer, I was very nervous to begin the process of searching for the perfect new home. Liz was happy to walk me through the entire process and make sure that I was fully informed of all of the nuances that come along with buying a home. She was always very organized in helping me with my search and never minded picking me up to search for places on a weekend or weekday.
I would highly recommend Liz to a first time buyer or anyone else looking for a new home in Austin.

Thanks a million, Unilocal,for helping us find Kelly Ladner at ALR. We were just looking for a rental, and it can be so stressful trying to get in to see places. Also, we are pretty picky and had some very fixed ideas of things we wanted (which can be tricky with rentals… it’s slim pickins out there). Kelly was so patient, showed us a bunch of places and was a total pleasure to talk to. If she was annoyed at my being so picky, I never knew it. She went above and beyond once we found a place to make sure nobody nabbed it out from under us. She’s very knowledgeable about the city and about what areas are good and which to steer clear of, and was a great resource for any questions we had when we were going over our lease. When the time comes to buy a place, we will definitely be working with her again.

I can’t say enough about Kelly Ladner, and all she did to help us find our home. She went above and beyond and fond us the home of our dream. If I am ever in need of a realtor again she would be the only person I would want to work with! Thank you Kelly fir all your hard work, and helping make our dream of owning a home come true!

After living at a place I wasn’t too fond of (for 1.5 years), I was definitely ready for a change of scenery. I initially tried to find a place on my own, but I kept running into roadblocks. As it was getting down to crunch time, I contacted CARLOS GONZALEZ-​CHAVEZ. We talked over the laundry list of what I was looking for, and within my first visit he found me EXACTLY what I wanted, and exactly in my price range!!! I ended up signing the lease right away for an amazing new place in a perfect location for a lot less than I had been expecting. (Without any pressure, either, I was simply that excited for it!) In addition, the new place provided a month free and waived my deposit fee. WOW!
My experience with ALR was absolutely fantastic, and I would highly HIGHLY recommend contacting Carlos if you’re looking for an apartment or condo. His knowledge of the city and connections with the leasing people at every complex made things so painless.
Thanks so much Carlos!

Gary Smith just helped us find the sweetest house! The reason I started working with him is because he sends out emails when a house fitting our tastes, location and budget comes on the market! That is such a time saver! When we found one we liked he went after it for us. He helped us so much and we are so grateful to him. If you need an excellent realtor call him.

We had a mission laid out before us:
3 Days. 2 Out of Towners. 1 Apartment to find. And 1 realtor to help us do it!
When my boyfriend – Matt – and I decided to move to Austin from Cincinnati, we were very excited, but didn’t know a lot – outside of what House Hunters and the rest of the HGTV network can teach you. **SPOILER alert: it’s not as much as you think** We searched all over the interwebs for places to live, but really had no idea what the real estate market was like, what neighborhoods would best fit our needs, or how to really start the process. Then Patrick and Austin Luxury Realty came into the picture.
Even before we came down, Patrick was friendly, knowledgeable, and in constant contact with us. If we had any questions, we could always ask him; he even volunteered to go take pictures of any places we saw online, but wanted to see more of! As we came closer to our 3-​day lease hunt, Patrick set up a plan of action for us. Initially, Matt and I were concerned that we weren’t seeing enough places. Patrick had told us that he had exhausted the options that met our criteria, and that these were truly the best options. It was after seeing a few of the places that hadn’t made the cut that Matt and I first uttered a phrase that eventually grew into an anthem of the weekend, «Patrick was right!»
Patrick was and still is – we haven’t moved in yet and he always says, «I’m there for you until you move in» — someone who made house hunting in a strange city fun. After all was said and done, we sat down at a taco place he thought we’d enjoy near his office and just talked it all through. He objectively listed pro’s and con’s for our remaining choices, and we – the three of us – had a good discussion about it all.
As I said before, we haven’t moved in yet! But we are very excited to move and are grateful for the help Patrick provided us in our search!

We were lucky enough to stumble upon Austin Luxury Realty for our recent relocation to Austin — what a fantastic experience!
Liz took our laundry list of preferences to heart and put together several fantastic listings at the last minute. And while we were only looking to rent, Liz made us feel like her most important clients, always giving us her full attention and advocating for us when it came time to negotiate the lease.
Liz really made what could have been a stressful process as easy and pleasant as possible. Five stars!

I reached out to Gary when we had decided we were moving to Austin. He had really great advice about neighborhoods and apartments. Because we were only in town for one weekend to look at apartments, he even compiled a list of all the places he thought would fit into our requirements. It helped us narrow down which properties we were going to visit significantly.
We’ll definitely be going back for our next apartment and so on! Thanks so much for making our move to Austin that much easier.
