What My Buyers Are Saying
Austin sellers have more power today than they realize.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Kaylan helped us find the perfect home and negotiated a deal we didn’t think was possible. She understood exactly what we wanted, guided us on every step, and made sure we felt supported the entire time. Her local knowledge made all the difference.”
— Jessica M., Austin
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Her attention to detail kept me confident through the entire process. Kaylan caught red flags in homes I never would’ve noticed. She made sure I didn’t settle and helped me secure the right house instead of the quick one. Best Realtor in Texas!"
— Ricky M., Kyle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"We were moving from California, she made everything easy. Her relocation guidance, virtual tours, and community knowledge were better than any agent we’ve worked with. We trusted her instantly.”
— Evelyn R., West Austin
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Kaylan was incredible. We were first-time buyers in a brand-new city, and she was so patient with us every step of the way. At this point, she’s essentially become part of the family. Count yourself lucky if you get the chance to work with her.”
—Amanda W.. Austin
Top Buyer FAQs
Q: How much should I save for a down payment?

Q: How long does it take to buy a home?
A: Most buyers spend 2-8 weeks searching and 30 days closing. Relocation or new construction timelines vary. I’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your criteria.

Q: Should I wait for rates to drop before buying?
A: Not necessarily. Prices and competition often increase when rates fall. Many buyers choose the right home now and refinance later. I’ll run the numbers both ways so you can compare.
Top Renting/Leasing Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much should I saved for moving expenses?
A: I’ll walk you through exact numbers based on the property you’re interested in. A good rule of thumb is to be prepared with:
-
Application fees (typically $50–$100 per adult)
-
Admin fee (typically only charged by management companies, $50-175 one time fee)
-
First full month’s rent
-
Security deposit equal to one month’s rent (sometimes more if you have pets or lower credit)
-
Pet deposits or non-refundable pet fees (if applicable)
-
Moving costs (truck rental, movers, packing materials)
Q: Do you help with single-family homes and condos?
A: Yes. I handle both.
Q: Do you help with apartments?
A: I can help point you in the right direction if an apartment is the best fit for your needs.
If you strictly want to search apartments only, I will connect you with a trusted colleague who specializes exclusively in apartment locating, at no cost to you. This ensures you get the fastest, most accurate list of specials, availability, and incentives.
Q: Is there a fee to work with you?
A: In most case no. Landlords typically pay the agent’s commission when you lease a home, which means you receive full representation at no cost. During our first call, I’ll explain how compensation works for each property so you always know what to expect before applying.
