"I had an absolutely amazing experience working with Mahshid Caras as my real estate professional. From the moment we started, she made me feel confident and informed throughout the entire process. Her market knowledge, coupled with her ability to listen and truly understand my needs, helped me find the perfect home that suited both my budget and lifestyle. What really stood out was Mahshid’s genuine care and commitment. She wasn’t just helping me buy a house; she was there as a trusted advisor, answering every question with patience and providing valuable insights. She even took the time to explain the finer details, which helped me feel at ease during such a big decision. Her responsiveness and thorough communication made the process smooth, and her positive energy kept me excited rather than stressed. Mahshid’s professionalism and warmth made all the difference, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Mahshid to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about her clients and their future."~Muthuraj Ramasamy, 10/21/2024

She is professional and will absolutely propel to get you what you want out of your next home. Mahshid truly cares that you find a home that you are excited about. We surely recommend Mahshid for her customer focus and her attention until the D day.

"As a first home buyers, we had an exceptional experience with Mahshid. It took a long journey for us to finally purchase our first home in 2022 within crazy market condition at that time. Mahshid was with us in this journey all the time and we had this opportunity to take advantage of her experience. She is very patient and super skillful in all the details of her job. Here is a proof of my words; First we signed a contract with a builder and then changed our mind. She showed us the way like a lawyer how we could back off from the contract and she took every cents of our earnest money from the builder!!! Then we signed with another builder, and she was able to get $45k credit from the builder 7 month after singing the contract!! These two I explained, are kind of jobs that you can not expect from a usual agent.

She is truly a trusted advisor and this experience wouldn’t have been the same without her. Going forward, Mahshid will always be our agent anytime we decide to sell and/or purchase a home. Thank you, Mahshid for all you did for us. Your customer service went beyond our expectations.

Despite being an extremely busy woman she never made us feel like she did not have time for us and was able to provide thoughtful insight into each of the rental properties, we looked at. She absolutely went above and beyond our expectations every single step of the way and we will definitely be using her when it is time for us to buy a house or find another rental.

"If I could describe working with Mahshid in 1 word it would be 'Worry-free'.
* She was always on time, and patient with us as clients as we saw so many houses
together over the course of a year.
* Being first-time home buyers, we got a lot of guidance from Mahshid and never once felt
like she was pushing us to buy a house that wasn't right for us. We could always rely on
Mahshid to answer our many questions, call out things to watch out for in homes, look at the
market to determine how much to bid, and give helpful recommendations.
* She is someone who's well connected and even helped us schedule our inspection and
provided lenders that were great to work with. We always felt like she made us a priority even
though she had lots of clients.
When we decide to sell our home, we'll definitely go with Mahshid again for a smooth
Experience. "

"Mahshid has represented me in two houses that I've purchased in Austin in the past few years. She is knowledgeable about the Austin area and has a lot of experience with the entire process from searching to closing. She has always been responsive, and punctual, and even has done more than what she was supposed to do. I've been also working with Mahshid to rent my houses, screen tenants, and so forth. I highly recommend Mahshid to anyone looking for purchasing and investing in Austin.

"This is the second time Mahshid has served as my agent, and as before I am very impressed with her professionalism, her attention to detail, and the fact that her communications were very informative and on time, I never felt I was in the dark as to what was happening during my transaction. I have and would recommend Mahshid to family and friends in need of a realtor. She is by far the best realtor I have worked with.

"Have had great experiences working with Mahshid Caras! As a new home buyer on a house-hunting trip, we were under a lot of stress to find a place to live! Mahshid Caras came to our rescue, helping us secure the perfect home that meets all our wants and needs! Mahshid was extremely supportive, fair, accommodating, and helpful throughout our home search. She was always there for us every step of the way; from the very first preapproval step to the very last closing day step! She gave us wonderful advice on the process of buying a house and she was super responsive and patient with our many questions! The Austin area market is complicated and extremely competitive and Mahshid has a deep understanding of it. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Austin! Thank you Mahshid, we love our house! :)

"Mahshid if not the best is one of the best real estate agents in the city of Austin and its surroundings. She goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy and achieve the best results. She is knowledgeable, patient, and very pleasant to work with. She answers all the questions home buyers or sellers may have and understands the importance of the home buying/selling experience for her clients. Numbers speak for themselves and you can see how pleased everyone including me has been with her. I totally recommend Mahshid to anyone moving to Austin, TX, or moving around in town. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

"I had a great experience with Mahshid and truly appreciate her professionalism, patience, and understanding when we hit a couple of bumps during the buying process. She is a super hard worker (as you already know) and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are satisfied.

"After working with more than 2 different agents, we can say without any reservation that we are very happy to have settled with Mahshid as our realtor. She knows Austin real estate really well and is very straightforward with her opinions and feedback, which has worked wonders for our real estate purchases so far with her as our realtor. She is very friendly to work with and really goes above and beyond expectations to meet her clients' needs. We look forward to continuing working with her closely for our Austin real estate needs and will also continue to refer her to our close friends and family.

"We worked with Mahshid to purchase our Austin house and things went as smoothly as one would hope. Unlike some of my past experiences, you don’t feel like Mahshid is just encouraging you to buy something so that she can move on to the next client. She worked with us as a true representative of our interests and gave us her unbiased advice throughout the path. We couldn’t have been happier.

"Mahshid Caras is the agent I worked with to buy 2 houses in the Austin area remotely from Dubai. Mahshid took care of everything for me. She is knowledgeable, responsive, dedicated, professional, and most importantly she cares. She listens to understand your needs. Mahshid was a trusted agent and paid attention to details to serve my interest more than I did myself. Mahshid went above and beyond. Dubai is 9 hours ahead of Austin time zone. Mahshid would wake up early and stay up late to accommodate the Dubai time for me. She is the best agent and now a friend and highly recommended.
"
- Siamak K.
★★★★★
"Mahshid helped us to buy a nice house in the Austin area. Buying a house remotely with limited time is not an easy job, but Mahshid made it an easy and smooth process. She is honest, responsive, and very friendly. In all issues, she was ahead of us and handled everything professionally. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family.
"
- Naser T.
★★★★★
"Mahshid has been an amazing partner in helping find us a home in Austin. She showed poise, patience, and strong integrity in how she supported us as buyers and engaged with selling agents. I went through 2 other agents prior to being introduced to Mahshid, and I couldn't have been happier landing with Mahshid as our agent in the Austin area. We decided to continue our engagement with her to help us find a tenant after closing on the home. Her knowledge of the Austin area is amazing. Her intuition and judgment are sound. She gained our trust, helping us make the decision to purchase a home remotely without the need to physically be in Austin. I highly recommend Mahshid to others.
"
- Sandeep
★★★★★
"It was superb to work with Mahshid. We got very comfortable since Mahshid understood our needs and hence trusted her expertise to be able to buy remotely. Now the only thing left is for us to actually see the house next week :D We want to thank Mahshid for all her insights and working with us on this purchase. Looking forward to meeting her in person in a few days!

"I just wanted to take a quick minute to tell you how great Mahshid was with my referral client Riley King. Riley is a first-time home buyer and only 22 years old. She really did not understand how to buy a home. Mahshid stepped in at the last minute after another referral agent failed to accommodate her. And with no time to prepare, Mahshid found her a great place and walked her through the whole process. Mahshid knew Austin extremely well and guided Riley to the best deal in the best area. I am extremely appreciative of her hard work!

"I am very thankful for the expert services of Mahshid Caras. It is quite stressful buying a home from a long distance (we currently live in CA). Mahshid's great attitude, commitment to our happiness made the process stress-free, and we were rewarded with a great home at a very good price. Mahshid provided good advice, numerous samples, represented us in reviews and negotiations, and most importantly, made her time and expertise always available to us.

- Jose C.
★★★★★
"There are no words that can express how lucky we are to have her as our agent. She is very professional and dedicated, she took us every day to check houses that fit our needs and budget, and it only took her two weeks to find a perfect house for us without overpaying. She went above and beyond to make sure we won the deal that we were astonished by her level of commitment. She is always available answering our calls and also checking on us to make sure we don't need anything. I don't think I can work with any other agent in the future with the level of service we found with her. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed, and she will make your experience less stressful even in a challenging market like Austin.
"

"We are so thankful for Mahshid's help! I didn't know how to take my Earnest money back after an unsuccessful buying trial with another agent. Mahshid is such a great individual and a knowledgeable real estate agent, which saved me lots of money with her valuable advice throughout this process. Thank you again!
"
- Shahab S.
★★★★★
"I worked with Mahshid Caras, and I couldn't be more pleased. I would give her 10 stars if I could! As a first time home buyer, it was really important to me to find someone who could truly help me find the perfect home and be there every step of the way to explain the process. She was very responsive and incredibly helpful. Mahshid really listened to what I wanted in my ideal home and what I wanted to avoid and would advise me accordingly. I could tell she truly cares about helping her clients. I would highly recommend Mahshid to any friends/family looking for homes in the Austin area and would definitely love to work with her again if I'm on the hunt for a new home in Austin in the future. Thank you, Mahshid, for such a wonderful experience!

"Nothing but great things to say about Mahshid. She was not only professional but worked tirelessly to find a beautiful home for us. Not only that, but she went above and beyond and was always immediately accessible. The close was handled efficiently as well. She's my new realty hero. No joke.
"
-Hootan A.
★★★★★
"Mahshid did an amazing job. She showed us approximately 15 homes until we found the one we wanted. We lived in the DFW area, but it was like we were here seeing the construction. She would FaceTime us and walk through the house during construction so we could see the process. She would also send pictures of the different stages. When we had an appointment with our Project Manager, she would be there to help along during the process. She was also a great asset during closing because she made sure the time and date were always on track. We could have picked any Realtor, but we called Mahshid because she came highly recommended by our son and daughter-in-law; we know why. Without a doubt, we will recommend her to anyone looking.

"Mahshid worked with me to shop for a home remotely. It was a challenge, as I could not view homes in person due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. She was wonderful working with me and difficult sellers, resolving disputes regarding completion of home inspection repairs and resolving barriers to a smooth transition to the new home.

"Mahshid was very supportive of my requirements and really patient while touring homes. She was extremely responsive and thoughtful. Mahshid provided a lot of material to go through even before started house searching. I am an out of state buyer and she was really helpful throughout the process. She went above and beyond to give us advice and help, I highly recommend her services in the Austin area.
"

★★★★★
"Our experience working with Mahshid was wonderful! She worked with us to help find and buy a home that met our key criteria, clearly demonstrating her passion and love for her job, solid professionalism, in combination with care and consideration for her clients' needs. She is very easy to work with, always cheerful and a true go-getter. Having Mahshid represent us as the buyer was very confidence-inspiring and reassuring to us, given that we were new to Austin and were particular about finding a home at a reasonable price that also met our criteria. We truly LOVE our new home!!! Mahshid offered to work with us to help find an alternate renter for our current rental home to allow us to exit the lease and move into our newly purchased home, with minimal financial impact. She is clearly going above and beyond for us. We would absolutely love to refer Mahshid to anyone else looking to buy a home here in Austin. We are extremely happy to have her as our Realtor for any future needs and, more importantly, count her as our good friend.

★★★★★
"As a first time home buyer, we had very little knowledge about how to find the right place when we moved to Austin. We were so fortunate to have found Mahshid Caras. She was a pleasure to have as our real estate agent that finally ended up to become a great friend of ours. We cannot thank Mahshid enough for all the hard work, dedication, time, and energy that she spent to find us the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. There is a lot to tell you about our experience with her. She always responded to our questions very promptly by providing informative responses. From start to finish, she was very patient and extremely knowledgeable of the local community and real state data. She is continuously professional and expert in her field. Anytime, anywhere, clients are her priorities, and she is available for them. If you work with her, you will see her passion for her job, and you will be impressed with her personality: helpful, friendly, supportive. Searching and visiting houses with toddlers had been tough for us, but she did more than just being our Realtor in this regard. While we had been searching for a home for months, she had never forced us to make an offer. When it came to the one that we purchased, there was a bidding war, and she smartly suggested a price to offer in addition to writing a letter to the seller to win the bid. We will definitely recommend Mahshid to anyone we know. She is the greatest!

"
-Juliet H.
★★★★★
"Mahshid was an amazing realtor!!! She was able to find properties that fit exactly what we were looking for (and were within our price range!). Also, she was incredibly flexible and understanding; she spent the entire weekend driving us from location to location and pushed things through as quickly as she could (which was especially helpful, given that we were on a time crunch). More than anything, Mahshid was pragmatic and patient, and made us feel totally comfortable throughout the process. I cannot highly enough suggest using her as your realtor.

"Mahshid Caras is the only realtor I'll ever use in Austin. After several meetings with a handful of different realtors, I was lucky to find Mahshid. She had done significant research prior to our meeting and provided 5 additional options that might interest me after we viewed the first home I was scheduled to view. From her recommendation list, we found my dream rental home.Mahshid was extremely detail oriented and looked out for me throughout the entire process. She even spoke to my roommate's mother for an extended time about some additional paperwork we could submit to better our chances to secure the home. She's caring, kind, extremely pleasant, and overall a joy to work with. I felt so taken care of by Mahshid in a very desperate time.I can't recommend Mahshid enough!! I tell everyone I know who is looking for housing about her. If you're in the Austin area and need someone who will have your back, be thorough, and guide you to your perfect housing- call Mahshid Caras.
"
- Shannon M.
★★★★★
"Mahshid was extremely helpful in helping me find an apartment! She is straight to the point and honest. Sometimes it can feel like realtors are trying to sell you something, but Mahshid was NOT like this! It really felt like she had my best interest in mind. I had a lot of criteria and can be pretty picky about choosing a place, but Mahshid was very patient, showing me tons of places over a few weeks time span until we eventually found a home for me!
"

"Mahshid was an absolute pleasure to work with! My boyfriend and I were moving to Austin from Los Angeles and only had about 24 hours in town to look at properties. Mahshid took us to many properties all in one day and really understood what we were looking for. We were ultimately declined from the first property we applied to and Mahshid was quick in helping us move forward on our second choice. We are now extremely happy with our new home! Highly recommend her!

Her kindness and dedication far surpassed our expectations.
