"I can't say enough good things about using Anna Carter as our Realtor agent. She was our agent
when we bought our house in East Austin in 2018. And naturally, she was our agent once again when
my wife and I decided to put the house on the market when we retired recently. Anna is the epitome
of a professional Realtor and always will look out for your best interest, be it as a buyer or seller. I
could go on and on with Anna praises and she deserves every one...thank you dear Anna for
everything you did for us over the years!." - James Callison

"Anna was outstanding. Couldn’t have been more helpful in walking me through the process.
She is also very kind, smart, and determined. I have nothing but good thoughts regarding my
experience with Anna!." - Rick Hennessy
★★★★★
"Anna Carter is absolutely wonderful! Anna helped me rent out my home on a tight timeline in an area
with very few comps. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable about Austin-area real estate,
Anna operates with integrity and joy. She always has my best interests in mind, and she loves what
she does. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Anna, and I am excited to work with her
again!." - Victoria Chang
★★★★★
"We had an awesome experience working with Anna Carter, she came highly recommended and
exceeded our expectations. She made us feel confident and calm through the entire process of
buying our first home in an extremely competitive market. She guided us through dozens of
viewings, 3 different offers, and a closing process with a few delays by the seller. She always kept us
in the loop, fought for what was best for us, and cheered us on the whole time! She also connected
us with the best lender (Michelle at Fairway) and Inspector (Chad at Power Check Inspections) who
were essential to us as well. We’re so grateful to Anna for always making us feel heard and being
transparent and positive throughout the entire process. We will definitely recommend her to
everyone we can!." - Katie S.
★★★★★
"Anna is truly amazing! She started with a presentation that is super helpful for first-time
buyers. She is professional, communicative, and easily reachable. Oh, and Anna has so
many excellent recommendations for contractors! Thanks to Anna, we got a very good
deal on a beautiful house in Cedar Park. We highly recommend Anna Carter - all our
friends love her too!." - Harshad
★★★★★
"I had the pleasure of working with Anna Carter who made the home buying experience
seamless. Anna found an off-market property for me at the peak of 2021 real estate craze at a
reasonable price and was able to secure customizations for me. I have already referred her to
several friends and will most certainly be using Anna again in the future. Anna is extremely
knowledgeable with all the nuances of the Austin market so whether you are a first-time buyer
or a fifth-time buyer, her expertise will be of great service to you (she helped purchase my
second one). Thank you so much Anna for your support and look forward to working with you
again." - Adnan Ratani
★★★★★
"We loved working with Anna from day one. Not only she helped us find our dream home, but
she also helped us with a rental apartment when we first moved to Austin. Anna made sure that
we communicate all our preferences & concerns to her before we started visiting the houses.
We narrowed down our location, house type, etc., beforehand and then made edits as we
visited houses (very systematic). She was there at every step, every text and call. Because of
Anna, we were able to win the first-ever offer in this seller's market. She is so great at
negotiation & communication that even our seller got impressed with her. I would recommend
her to anybody.." - Mayura Shah
★★★★★
"Anna Carter was our key to success in purchasing our first home; she helped us secure
an off-market new build in East Austin after only one week of shopping! It wouldn’t have
been possible without her solid relationships with developers and other realtors in the
area. Not to mention her accommodation to our crazy schedules as we moved from out
of state.
Above all else, Anna is truly built for this role; she’s enthusiastic, personable, and
handles every interaction with absolute professionalism. She knew all the right
questions to ask on our behalf as first-timers, and she firmly advocated for us when
delays and minor dilemmas arose. She also has a great network of lenders, inspectors,
and tradespeople that we have chosen from and been very happy with. We really felt like
she had our back throughout the whole process and beyond.." - Alexa Schroeder
★★★★★
"Our experience with Anna was better than I ever could've imagined! She was realistic
and very transparent about the market up front, which allowed us to really assess for
ourselves if we were ready/willing to try to buy a house. What really struck me most,
however, is that she was just as attentive and supportive of our smaller budget as she
would be if we were in the market for a 2+ million dollar home. We felt cared for, we
knew our needs were being professionally and sincerely advocated for during option,
and we trusted her judgment which is huge in this whirlwind market. Anna was
incredible with communication and creating a shared expectation and just all-around
lovely to spend so much time with :)
Additionally, but it's definitely worth mentioning, Anna was understanding and held
space for us as a Black family trying to navigate the complexity of buying a home in
Texas - the debate of whether or not to add our photo to offer letters and assessing
neighborhoods for safety. She didn't gaslight us or say we were sensitive. She believed
in and honored our experience and supported us. This level of inclusivity needs to be
the standard of all agents, in my opinion.." - Danielle and Trace Locklear
★★★★★
"Anna was terrific in providing assistance with my home purchase.." - Roger Davis
★★★★★
"I can't express how beyond pleased I was with my experience with Anna. She met every
expectation a first home buyer could ever ask for. No question was a dumb question.
She responded to my emails and texts in a timely manner and was always willing to go
above and beyond. I felt validated and confident by the end of the process. Anna was
professional, friendly, sincere in her interactions, and a GREAT sounding board for me.
She always knew the right questions to ask other vendors and me as well.
Homeownership for the Black community is a rarity, and I was completely in over my
head, but with her guidance, I walked away from the home buying experience confident
and proud to be a homeowner. Thank you, Anna! There's no way I could have done this
without you.." - Duane
★★★★★
"ANNA, ANNA, ANNA! I don't even know what to say. Anna changed our lives. She is a
MASTER negotiator and never gave up in this (Austin's) insane market. After the
pandemic, our finances were wack, but Anna and her team *dream team* made it
happen. I am still in total disbelief that we were able to make this dream come to reality.
She is quick to respond, hard-working, and really truly "gets us." We wanted charm, but
something we could make our own. Getting all our boxes checked for a home felt like a
steep climb, but Anna made it seem like a breeze. We'll be forever grateful for her. HIRE
HER ASAP!." - Betsy Lackey
★★★★★
"Anna Carter was incredible to work with! My wife and I were first-time homebuyers who
didn't stand a chance competing with investors in the Austin-area. Anna was patient
with us, teaching as she guided us through the overwhelming process over several
months. She truly felt like an advocate fighting for our best interest, and the team she
helped us assemble was exceptional. With their help, we beat out higher cash offers and
were able to buy our first home in a very competitive market where we didn't stand a
chance. It feels like a miracle, but it was all Anna. We could not recommend her more
highly!." - Lincoln Youree
★★★★★
"I purchased my first home this year, and it truly would not have been possible without
Anna Carter. She made the process smooth and virtually stress-free. The market
presented us with a lot of challenges, but Anna's knowledge and experience helped us
navigate them with ease. She found the *perfect* home for me, helped me submit a
strong offer (which won over multiple other offers!), built a great working relationship
with the seller's agent, and answered my many questions along the way. She's fierce,
intelligent, and knowledgeable. Trust me; you want Anna in your corner when you're in
the ring that is the Austin market. It's tough out there, but Anna will undoubtedly be the
person you need to lead the way. Thanks again for everything, Anna! I love my new
home.." - Lauren H.
★★★★★
"Anna Carter stood head and shoulders above any other agent I have worked with in the
past. She added SO MUCH value to this process. I, like many others, have considered
not using an agent in order to save on commissions. Anna COMPLETELY changed my
mind about this. Not only did she HUSTLE every day for us, but her industry expertise,
market connections, and thoughtful foresight are aspects that you can't recreate on your
own. She helped us avoid so many issues on our sale and found us an incredible
off-market listing before it even hit the MLS. Her work spoke for itself and paid for any
commissions many, many times over. Not to mention, all this during COVID-19, and she
didn't miss a beat!." - John McCaffrey
★★★★★
"My husband and I were referred to Anna Carter, and we are really happy that we had a
chance to work with her. She understands Austin real estate really well and is very
knowledgeable. She is very easy to communicate and is always a text or call away. She
is super sweet and caring. We would definitely work with her again in the future!." - Amy Ham
★★★★★
"Anna Carter was top notch. I cannot imagine a better first-time home buying experience
than what Anna was able to provide. She was super responsive, had in-depth
knowledge of the areas in which I was looking, and went above and beyond to provide
insights into neighborhoods, builders, and sellers. She is very well connected and a true
professional. 10/10 recommend.." - Christopher Nightingale
★★★★★
"I was referred to Anna by a work friend after using a different Realtor. The contrast was
night and day. I didn’t know what a skilled Realtor was like until working with Anna.
She’s highly in touch with the Austin market (shared her insight on job market patterns
and growth areas, informed by trends and informational events). She listened to my
priorities, helped me decide on factors I hadn’t considered before, stress-tested my
assumptions on our viewings, and asked the boring but important questions of the
listing agent. She made use of her connections within the industry and even helped me
navigate a thorny situation with a problematic vendor. She treated my home search like
an investment, not a pet project, which I appreciated. She was patient, low-pressure,
but direct in dealing with this relatively indecisive client. And she was quick to share
laughs during a wild and stressful first-time-buyer process. I can’t recommend Anna
enough. My experience was excellent.." - Robert Boler
★★★★★
"Anna is by far one of the most knowledgable and experienced agents I have come
across here in Austin, TX. She is so personable and transparent that it makes the
experience so much better than it has ever been painted to be. She was thoughtful in all
her actions and always had my best interest at heart. I would recommend her to any
person that is interested in buying or selling here in Austin. Great work, Anna!." - Soud
★★★★★
"We worked with Anna to buy a new home and sell our old one. She's friendly,
knowledgeable, and a very responsive communicator. We never felt out of the loop, or
like we were being ignored.
She worked really hard in negotiations on our purchase (and won great results) and was
instrumental in helping us sell our home for more than we were asking. Her local
contacts for professionals was a huge asset to us as well once we closed and were
trying to get some quick work completed.
Buying or selling, we'd absolutely recommend Anna to anyone. We'd work with her
again!." - Ryan O'Connor
★★★★★
"I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience than the one my wife and I had
with Anna. Austin has proven to be a tough market, and it seemed everything was
under contract before I could mention we’d like to see the listing. Anna helped my wife
and I to decide what parts of town we would like to live in and started her networking
magic. Within a few days of narrowing down our list of desirable neighborhoods, Anna
had a pocket listing to show us that would hit the market that Friday. Anna worked with
us late that evening, showed us the property, and we put in an offer before it went to
market. The seller accepted, and Anna even helped us to negotiate certain repairs like
new insulation, fireplace repair, and a few others. My wife and I couldn’t be more
pleased with the house we now own thanks to Anna! We will be working with her again
and have already referred friends and family to her. She’s the best!." - Franklin Carpenter
★★★★★
"Anna worked with us on the purchase of our first Austin home. Even before we moved
back to Austin, she kept in touch with us and showed us that she values follow up—
which is something we wanted in a Realtor. More importantly, she worked with the
selling agent and homeowner to help us meet the needs of our loan. She is an excellent
negotiator and helped us get a fair price on our home and negotiate needed repairs into
our contract. We have already recommended her to family members.." - Kendall
★★★★★
"Anna was great! Everything happens because of her. She found the house, negotiated
and got the deal done. Her follow up is impeccable, and still to this day, if we have a
problem with something like home warranty issues, she still answers her phone and
tries to help. I will continue to use Anna in the future if we move again.." - Brandan
★★★★★
"Anna was very helpful during my home search and subsequent purchase. Like many in
Austin, we were up against multiple offers, and she always acted in my best interests. I
would recommend teaming up with her for your future home search." - Adam Kost
★★★★★
"I had a really positive experience with Anna. She was prompt, clear, and
knowledgeable. Her highest value definitely came when it got down to negotiation. She
really took the time to make sure we negotiated for all of the details we wanted, asked
questions about things we hadn't thought about, and was able to get us more than what
I expected
Anna was great about following up after closing to ensure we had everything we
needed. She even continued to reach out to vendors to verify that they met their
commitments to the repairs for our home. It's great that she showed commitment and
follow-through even after closing was over.
I already referred her to a friend of ours who also had a very positive experience! We
will both gladly use her again.." - Tracy Hennessy
★★★★★
"Working with Anna was fantastic in every way. She was incredibly helpful in not just
finding and showing us properties, but was also there to help through the entire home
buying process. Anna was able to answer any question or concern or could ask the right
person and get back to us with an answer on the same day. She was able to
understand our taste, budget, and other constraints fully and showed us only properties
that were close to what we wanted. She didn't waste our time and was exceptionally
patient as we narrowed down our search. She also moved fast, which was quite helpful
in a competitive market, allowing us to see houses the day or even the day before they
were on the market. 5 stars all around." - The Grays
★★★★★
"Anna did a terrific job helping us navigate both the city flood buyout process and
selecting our new home as well. We would recommend Anna help you with any of your
real estate needs. She was super responsive and great at following up.." - Betty Martin
★★★★★
"Anna is by far the best Realtor I've ever worked with. She basically saved my life. I had
to find a place in Austin while I was living in San Francisco – so I wasn't able to view the
homes in person. Anna patiently helped me narrow down my search criteria, gave me
recommendations on neighborhoods, and would alert me each time a house came on
the market that she thought I might like. Thanks to her vigilance, I was able to secure an
incredible house! Anna took pictures and videos for me because she knew I couldn't
see the place myself, and she was extremely honest, dependable, and kind throughout
the entire process. I really can't thank her enough – my move to Austin was literally
made a million times easier and better thanks to Anna. Highly recommend!." - Dov Kaufmann
★★★★★
"Anna is literally my personal hero (and spirit animal)! After 2 LONG days of looking for
my new home here in Austin - I was about to give up, or should I say "settle" on a home
that was just "eh."
Then, at the very last minute, Anna reached out to another Realtor she had mentored to
check on a potential pocket listing, and we were in luck. The other Realtor had
something which we immediately went to check out. I fell instantly in LOVE with the new
home - and put in an offer that day & went back to Chicago.
Anna handled everything from her end back here in Austin (including a few
"self-employment" issues) like a champ, and 3 weeks later, I was in the new home.
If you're looking for a Realtor that is going to go to battle for you - and more - be creative
to find your next home, Anna is your girl!
Thanks so much, Anna!." - Brian Burt
