"The Absolute Best Realtor in Austin – A True Hero in This Market! If you're looking for a realtor in Austin, stop your search right now. Working with Charla and her team was the single best decision we made in our entire home buying/selling journey. My spouse and I were both excited and terrified to jump into the Texas market. We’d heard the horror stories – crazy bidding wars, properties gone in hours, and dizzying prices. Charla didn't just guide us; she equipped us, advocated for us, and felt like a strategic partner every single step of the way. Here’s what sets her and her team apart: - Deep, Hyper-Local Knowledge: This isn't just an agent who knows Austin. Charla has an encyclopedic knowledge of specific neighborhoods – from the evolving vibe of East Austin to the family-friendly pockets of Circle C and the hidden gems in Northwest Hills. She gave us insights on future development, school nuances, and commute patterns we never would have found online. - Master Negotiator: In a multiple-offer situation, her strategy was brilliant. She helped us craft a compelling, clean offer that stood out without blindly overpaying. Her communication with the listing agent was professional yet assertive, and she secured the house for us under asking price, which feels like a miracle in Austin. She fights for her clients with incredible tenacity. - Flawless Execution & Communication: The process was seamless. From the initial search on her curated portal (far better than the generic apps) to coordinating inspectors, lenders, and the title company, everything was meticulously managed. She is incredibly responsive—we never waited more than an hour for a reply, even on weekends. We always felt like we were her only clients. - Genuine Care & Integrity: This is the most important part. Charla truly cares. She never pushed us to raise our budget or settle for a house that wasn't right. She was our voice of reason, our cheerleader, and our expert advisor all at once. You feel you’ve gained a friend for life, not just a transaction agent. In short: The Austin market is a beast. You need a realtor who is more than just a key-holder—you need a local expert, a fierce advocate, and a calm, trusted guide. Charla is all that and more. She doesn't just do her job; she excels at it with a level of passion and skill that is truly rare. We cannot recommend Charla highly enough. If you want to buy or sell in Austin with confidence, success, and less stress, she is the one. You’ll be in the best hands possible." Kahlil

"I've bought three and sold one home with the Housson's, and the experience has been phenomenal. From sitting down and understanding my family's needs, to helping us search using the online tools or non-traditional means, through the inspections and all of the details - it all went smoothly because of their attention to detail. When I sold a house last year, they helped me find a designer and stager to guide a complete refresh before selling - I sold that house in 1 day in a tough market for a great price because it looked so good, marketed well, and priced properly. Highly recommend Charla and Shannon and their team for both buying and selling." Mark
