"Lexie, Adam, and everyone else on the Zell Team were incredibly helpful in the buying of my first home. They walked me through every step of the process, made sure I was comfortable and informed, were quick with answers and advice when I had questions or concerns, and just generally made it a painless experience. I'm delighted with where I ended up, and I can't thank them enough for all the help! " - Ian S

★★★★★
"We used the Zell team to buy/sell right in the middle of the COVID-19 Craziness. The process couldn't have gone any better. These guys were on top of everything and found us wonderful buyers and a great new home for our family. I highly recommend them! " - Danny P

★★★★★
"The Zell Team is simply the best. They answered all of our questions promptly, personably and with an awesome level of expertise. We found our future home while doing one of those weekend open house slogs and we (of course) picked the house that was super competitive with numerous offers. The Zell  team was quick, to the point and made sure we won the house. Period. They continued to be supportive even after closing and answer our questions (even as late as yesterday - over a month after closing).  The whole team is fun to work with while still giving you the expertise you need in a very competitive market. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We love the Zell team!! " - Kelsey G

★★★★★
"Couldn’t have been better! Highly recommend Adam and his team, who went above and beyond to provide helpful information regarding our search to find a new home! " - Greg M


" The entire Zell team is terrific. They offer ample knowledge of the Austin real estate market, well developed relationships with other brokers and agents, strong negotiating skills and a very responsive team.  They negotiated an offer against 10 others (including cash offers) and were able to get my offer accepted. They made the process seamless and efficient with no hiccups or unexpected issues. Couldn't be happier or recommend them higher. You won't be disappointed. " - Brendan H

★★★★★
"Was great working with the Zell Team, I highly recommend! Lexie was very helpful and quick to answer any and all questions I had. Adam gave great advice on each of the homes we went and looked at. I will be using this team on my next home purchase for sure. " - Devin S

★★★★★
"We recently moved from Minnesota to Austin and we couldn't recommend the Zell Team more. My job brought us to town, we didn't know much about Austin, and Adam helped us navigate the city and was really integral in helping us find where we wanted to be. After a few days of looking, Adam and Lexie  helped us put together the winning offer to beat 6 others! You'll have a great team that looks out for your best interest with the Zell Team! " - Dan & Melissa F

★★★★★
"Fantastic team! We were looking for an investment property and knew close to nothing about Austin, TX when we first visited. Adam took the time to give us a tour of the neighborhoods and gave us great historic insights and local tips. They really took the time to understand what we were looking for  and catered to our preferences. We ended up buying our house while remote, and the team went above and beyond to make the process simple and pain-free for us. We had the best experience and would work with the Zell team again in a heartbeat. Could not recommend them more!  " - Sophia C

★★★★★
"My business partner and I worked with Adam Siegel and Lexie Zell to buy our first investment property last month. As first time buyers, everything was new to us. The expertise that Adam Siegel in particular brought to the table in terms of helping us walk and evaluate properties was absolutely  invaluable. He had a tremendous feel for the market, could immediately identify issues with the property that there is no way we could have noticed, and had a ton of creativity in thinking about what to do with each place. He also earned a lot of trust with us, when he strongly encouraged we turn down another property in the process with a subpar inspection report and was someone we felt was on our side. When we finally found a place we felt comfortable moving on, Lexie was on top of things and got the deal done in a professional manner. Overall, a very positive experience. " - Frank L

★★★★★
"I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with the Zell team in helping us sell our home. After a couple less than ideal realtor experiences, Adam, Lexie and team helped manage one of the most stressful events in our life with the perfect blend of professionalism, humor, attention to detail  and ownership that allowed my wife and I to focus on our new home rather than worry about the one we were leaving. Every single detail was thoroughly examined and weighed in advance of us having to ask about it. Their rolodex of handymen, photographers and stagers are top notch and share the same attention to detail and level of accountability that Adam's team holds themselves to and speak just as highly of working with then as partners as their clients do. If you want a team you can count on to be as invested in your real estate transaction as you are, you cannot do any better than the Zell team. " - Eddie C

★★★★★
"The Zell team is the best in the business! My husband and I had the privilege of working with Lexie and Adam twice in our home searches, the first time moving from out of state. They were always available, knowledgeable, and upfront with us. We appreciated their open style of communication and  consistent follow up with us, the title company, and the bank, even as we navigated through the closing process. We have full confidence in them and look forward to working with them again in the future. In the meantime, we continue to recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone needing quality real estate services. They are highly skilled in real estate, but they are genuinely wonderful human beings as well, a huge bonus when going through the exhausting home buying/selling process. " - Jon & Rose B

★★★★★
"Adam made the stressful process of purchasing a home very comfortable for my family. He worked hard (7 days a week) to help us find the perfect home. He was readily available to help me with everything I needed. He worked aggressively to get the best deal possible for us and we were very thankful  for that. He clearly explained the whole process to us, which gave us a sense of relief knowing we found the best fit home for our family. I would feel comfortable recommending Adam to any future home buyer, with the assurance they would find their perfect home, too " - Christian J

★★★★★
"We couldn't have asked or wished for a better agent to list and sell our property. Mr. Zell is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to what he does. From his thoughtful suggestions, to his constant communication, to his availability to us all throughout the process, Adam was the perfect agent, always ready to answer any questions we had. Most importantly, no-matter what was going on in his business life or how big a workload he had, we always felt like we were his only and special clients. Mr. Zell took great care of us, sold our property in no time, and dealt with us with the utmost level of professionalism and respect, and for that, we will be forever grateful. Thank you Adam. " - Joy & Luke C

★★★★★
"Adam is a world class realtor and great at driving results.  He's personable and easy to work with, and most importantly he makes the process stress free and fun.  If you're going to spend a few hours looking at places, he's the guy to do it with and his local knowledge is impressive.  Great guy and great realtor. " - Matt D

★★★★★
"I have worked with Adam a few times over the past 2 years and have always been very impressed. When I initially planned my move to Austin, Adam spent a great deal of time sharing property pictures and descriptions to make sure I had a full view of the neighborhoods. When I arrived for a house  hunting trip, Adam had a full day planned where I was able to see properties from all interesting neighborhoods and I felt like all showings were really relevant. He really listened to what I was looking for and delivered. When my situation changed and I decided to sell the house and rent an apartment, Adam was there every step of the way. He treated me with respect and always made it clear he was there to help me through the entire process. We ended up selling the house and making a very small profit which is rare when selling two years in. When I am ready to buy again in the next year or two, Adam will be my first call. " - Melanie B

★★★★★
"I started buying investment properties with Adam in April of 2012. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Austin area market and has steered me in the right direction on several purchases and rented the properties for me in short order. I would consider Adam in the top 1% of realtors in the Austin market based on my experience. " - Peter E

★★★★★
"I have been assisted by Adam three times, and can say unequivocally that he's the consumate professional at what he does. His knowledge of what's available locally is expansive, his responsiveness to client questions and concerns is prompt, and his ability to tailor his services to the precise needs of the client is what sets him head and shoulders above the rest. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to rent or buy in Austin. " - Tiffany J

★★★★★
"No nonsense guy who will find you everything you want in a home.  Always looks for a deal and is really cool to work with. Get your wish list together and give Zelly a call! " - Ralph R

★★★★★
"We lost our home in the 2011 Texas wildfires and needed a new home quickly. We were so fortunate to have met Adam Zell. We've purchased other properties in the past and have worked with many real estate agents, but Adam is the absolute best agent that we have ever met. We needed someone that really  knew the market and that had great negotiating skills. We appreciated how Adam made himself available to us on such short notice. He spent a lot of time with us until we found the property that was a perfect match. He's a very nice guy, who went out of his way to make the process as easy as possible for us. Not only was Adam a total professional, he was personable and caring. We were going through a rough time and Adam was so patient. I know that we asked a lot of him, but he was always up for the challenge. I'm glad we met Adam. We will continue to recommend him to anyone looking for a new agent. We got a beautiful home and also have a great new friend in Adam. He is the best!!  " - Al D

★★★★★
"Adam is excellent to work with and was very thorough. We spent about four months looking and negotiating and finally ended up on the East Side of Austin. He was always available to show us homes on the weekend and after work making our search very easy. Would definitely work with him again in the future! " - Karissa C

★★★★★
"I am really picky. And with the fact that the Austin residential market is on fire, I never thought I'd find a house for my girlfriend and me that was new/nice enough yet still in our price range. Low and behold, Adam Zell came out of the woodwork, and spent more than four months chasing  down homes for us that fit our criteria. He was EXTREMELY honest and upfront with us and let us know that our expectations were a bit high, but he was confident that if we were patient and trusted him, that he could find what we wanted. We agreed, and during the entire search he was ALWAYS outgoing and positive. He ended up finding the perfect house for us at a steal. One month after closing, the equivalent year/configuration of townhome to ours, next door, sold for over $40k than what Adam negotiated and we bought ours for! Seriously not a hiccup during the entire process of finding and closing on a home with Adam. I am often weary of reviews that are overly-positive, but you've got to trust me that Adam was a pleasure to work with and one of the best in the Austin market. Thanks Adam!  " - Drew B

★★★★★
"Joaquin is Fantastic to work with!  Very patient, personable, and knowledgeable!  Buying and selling a home can be etremely time consuming and stressful.  Joaquin made the entire process on both sides efficient, bearable, and as smooth as possible. At the end of the process, Joaquin became  part of my family. We love Joaquin and you will too!!! " - Lisa & Ty

★★★★★
"First time homebuyer here with Joaquins knowledge and patience I was able to buy my first home without any issues. I will be referring him to anyone in the market looking to buy. If you want someone that will answer all your questions with care and understanding of your needs he is the guy.  " - Ezekiel

★★★★★
"Joaquin is a very knowledgeable and conscientious realtor.  He worked with me from out of town throughout the whole sales process and I never had to be present to sell the home or close.  He kept me informed and let me make all the important decisions with his advice and expertise. He took care of improvement projects on site with me out of town.  I was extremely pleased with his professionalism, communication and the results. My home had a contract within 4 days of listing  -Harvey Joaquin and his team were incredible.  They got our home under contract in less than 24 hours.  The team was easy to coordinate with and super responsive.  I would recommend this team to anyone in Austin trying to sell their home. " - Bianca

★★★★★
"We had a great experience with Joaquin. At first as we needed a short lease, which is hard to find, as most rentals have a minimum of 6 months. He took us to several homes and let us make a choice, while he provided clear information an options.  His communication has always been quick and  clear. With us, he had a more personal approach, which we like as we like to build relationship and trust with those whom we work with.  After the rental we needed to look for a home to purchase, so Joaquin took us by the hand again and showed us several homes on the market. The eventual closing went smooth and easy too. Joaquin is respectful, calm, a great listener, and understands your needs. He takes his time for you and is pro-active in his actions.  I definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a home in Austin and surroundings! " - David & Sandra

★★★★★
"Our experience with Joaquin was great. He is very knowledgeable, and provided excellent recommendations on how to prepare the house for staging and pictures.  We had seven showings and multiple offers on the first day on the market and sold our house after only two days for $15K more than our initial asking price.  Joaquin guided us throughout all the business decisions and contract of the closing of the house with impressive results.  Overall we felt lucky to have Joaquin and his team working with us during the whole process.  " - Dicla & Adriel

★★★★★
"I worked with Joaquin this past fall to sell our home. He was a fantastic realtor to work with and had the full support of the team.  He came prepared to meet with all the information (and more) that would be necessary to price our home, had beautiful photos taken after a staging  assistant came through, and held strategically planned open houses. He followed up with all individuals who came through our home, but not with too much pressure. He helped sell our home quickly and for more money than we expected. We were relocating out of Austin, otherwise, I would have used him to buy a new home in a heartbeat. Thank you, Joaquin for all your hard work. You did an exceptional job, are a strong communicator, prompt with any paperwork and questions, great at looking out for your clients, and have the resources of a really large team behind you!  " - Kristin

★★★★★
"Joaquin was incredibly instrumental in selling my home in Austin. I live in the DFW area so I was unable to be involved with the day to day needs that were required to improve and sell my house. He is from Austin which made him very in tune with the neighborhood my house was located in and this  translated to him making some excellent recommendations on different improvements to put on the house before listing it. It took a few months to renovate and improve everything, and Joaquin took the lead in coordinating the different parties that were doing the work. When it came time to sell, everything happened just like he predicted it would, and I ended up getting WAY more than I ever thought possible on the sale of this home. His recommendations increased its value tremendously. I 100% recommended Joaquin for any of your real estate needs " - Hunter

★★★★★
"We recently relocated to Austin knowing nothing about the housing market here and found that Joaquin, being a lifelong Austin resident, made the difference in our buying experience. He knew the ins and outs, what areas are thriving, what will give us the best return in years to come, etc. On top of  that, he was super responsive. When we texted/called/emailed, he responded almost immediately. Lastly, Joaquin was nothing short of personable and genuine, he never made us feel pressured or rushed into a buying decision. We even changed our minds 3-4 times on what we were looking for and Joaquin adjusted the search with complete understanding. Thanks again Joaquin, we appreciate you and we are loving our new home! " - Jordan & Matt

★★★★★
"Lexie and the Zell Team were amazing from start to finish. She was patient and explained the process of finding our dream home. She sold my condo in a blink of the eye. Highly recommend this team for their honesty and thoroughness. Thank you so much! " - S C

★★★★★
"Adam was referred to us by a very dear friend.  She was so right! I refer to Adam as my super hero.  I felt very confident with him at the helm; from referring us to the best mortgage company to eventually purchasing our new home.  Lexie was very responsive and efficient; often lending her shoulder to lean on. What a team!! The best!! If we had to do it over again, we will definately go with Adam and Lexie!! " - Phillip R

★★★★★
"The Zell Team is hands down the #1 Real Estate Team in the world! They've now helped us find an apartment, buy our 1st home and now buy our 2nd home and sell our 1st - it's been so great to grow with them over the years and their customer services hasn't slipped once. They're always on time and accountable to what they say. Moreover they made the buying/selling of a home at the same time a much more manageable and less stressful process. To top that, they're all such genuinely nice people that truly care about their clients. " - Jacob I

★★★★★
"As first time home buyers, we couldn't be happier with our experience working with Adam Seigel, Lexie Zell, and Adam Zell.  They were super helpful guiding us through the entire process: taking time to understand exactly what we were looking for, navigating us through Austin's competitive market,  and always communicating in both a friendly and VERY prompt manner. We would love to work with them again in the future. " - Alex L

★★★★★
"The Zell Team Rocks!!! Adam, Lexie and the team are responsive, personable, and experienced! They made the process of buying a home, not only simple, but fun!  I’m still pestering them with questions, over a month after closing and they are still just as responsive as day one. I cannot recommend them enough. Buying or selling, do yourself a favor and hire the Zell Team! " - Kelsey H

★★★★★
"Lexie was the absolute best. She was always available when we needed her. If you want to buy or sell you would make a big mistake if you didn't use Lexie. Morning, noon, night, weekends, we drove her nuts I am sure. She was always there for us. We will use them for any future needs. Can't wait to complete our build and have the Hell team over to celebrate! " - Marc F

★★★★★
"We recently moved from Minnesota to Austin and we couldn't recommend the Zell Team more. My job brought us to town, we didn't know much about Austin, and Adam helped us navigate the city and was really integral in helping us find where we wanted to be. After a few days of looking, Adam and Lexie helped us put together the winning offer to beat 6 others! You'll have a great team that looks out for your best interest with the Zell Team! " - Dan F

★★★★★
"I had a great experience working with the Zell team. I live in California and was looking for an investment property (1031 exchange) in Round Rock. Since I only had one free weekend to visit Texas and decide on a property, I was concerned I wouldn't be able to find a place in time. However, once I met Adam and the crew, I knew that wouldn't be a problem. They took great care of me the whole weekend. We probably saw around 30 homes over the course of three days, and the Zell team was able to provide insight and recommendations on each. Once we decided which places were in my top three, the team made sure I was able to get the best price and most favorable conditions for my money. I would highly recommend the Zell team to both locals and out-of-towners looking for a family home or investment property! " - Chris S

★★★★★
"We loved working with Zell Team on our recent sale, and purchase. You couldn't ask for a better realtor!! " - Patrick D

★★★★★
"Buying a condo via long distance was made easy by the Zell team.  Their responsiveness and local knowledge made it much easier than I thought.  They knew our requirements and directed us to properties that would fulfill the needs we requested and were frank in their opinions of properties we suggested (after viewing on Zillow) .  After flying down to Austin, seeing the top prospects, and choosing one, they handled everything from then on. Negotiations, document signing via Docu-Sign, and closing. Kudos to Adam and Lexie Zell. " - Claudia L-S

★★★★★
"WOW.  Just WOW.  If I could give 10 stars, I would!  Adam and Lexie make the most amazing team from selling my house to closing at the title company.  I was kept informed of every step of the process and wish I had known them when selling 4 other homes!  Adam was recommended by a family member and impressed me within 5 min. of meeting him. Nooooo, he didn't pay me to say that; you just have to meet him! " - Marcia S

★★★★★
"The Zell Team was phenomenal in helping us find our first home! They were highly communicative and incredibly intelligent. We’ll definitely be using them again! " - Katherine C

★★★★★
"The Zell’s are intelligent, dedicated and passionate people. I’d trust them with anything. " - Chrissy S

★★★★★
"Adam Seigel was our agent, and what a great advocate he was for us! We luckily found our home after not much searching, but for the few places we did look at, Adam was diligent about looking around the house and pointing out the pros and cons. Once we decided on a house to put in an offer on, Adam helped us get a great deal and gave us good advice along the way. The rest of the team during closing process was also great. They answered any questions we had in a timely manner, and helped us get through the arduous process of buying our first house. I would recommend the Zell team to anyone. They are truly caring people and are knowledgeable about the housing market. " - Sarah F

★★★★★
"Save time & hassle by working with the Zell Team! We were so fortunate to have found Adam & Lexie (and their team) after shortly moving to Austin, TX. As our Realtors, they helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for everything we were looking for. As first time home buyers, they were always on our side working to make the new-build home purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with them was that they were always patient in answering our questions, having our back, and giving us good advice. And most importantly by the end of the process, they felt like family. " - Jason & Lauren G

★★★★★
"If you are considering using the Zell Team for your real estate needs, DO IT! Simply put, they're fantastic at what they do. And they're just great people too -- you'll love them! They helped us buy our first home 4 years ago, and then recently helped us sell that house and buy a new home. They helped us determine the best strategy for executing our plan and held our hand every step of the way. No exaggeration: we got way more than we expected on our sale and a great deal on our buy, which is not easy in the Austin market " - Steve A

★★★★★
"Adam, Lexie and their team are true professionals and will go out of their way to help their clients even after the sale is made. I've worked with a lot of real estate agents in the past, and they are by far the best team I've hired. " - Brett C

★★★★★
"Lexie and Adam helped me purchase my first condo, and I am thrilled I chose to work with them. Circumstances led me to have to buy sight unseen, but Lexie and Adam gave me the confidence to do so and made it a painless process. They were both attentive throughout the process and went to great lengths to ensure I ended up with a great condo in a great neighborhood. When it is time for me to sell, I will certainly call them again. " - Sally V
