This was the first time going through a home buying process, so I did not know how anything worked. Ashley and her team made it as smooth as possible. If I ever had any questions or concerns, they always explained everything to me in great detail and helped in any way they could. The team consistently reached out to make sure that I was always making the right moves and getting everything done I needed to in a timely manner. Every appointment, viewing, and deadline was met with precision. I never once had a problem with any member of the Brinkman team. Sydney was exceptional in helping me with most of my viewings and coming up with appropriate offers. This whole process was made so much easier with the professionalism and care from the team. I could not have made this happen without them.
Ashley and her team were so capable and kind and wonderful to work with! I was most impressed with the speed they returned emails and texts. They provided easily digestible information and guided us through the process from start to finish. I highly recommend!!!
We are simply thrilled with our experience(s) with Ashley, which stretches back to when she helped us buy our house in Austin, through renting it out, and all the way through the sale of the house.
For us, these were all big and difficult decisions. We were inexperienced, first-time home-buyers and -sellers; we had young kids and hard jobs and were consistently stressed, and the money at stake was very significant for us. In light of all of those things, we feel incredibly grateful to have had Ashley on our side.
Ashley did a great job of both the personal and the business side of everything, keeping it low-stress for us while also being honest and transparent; she managed her team well throughout all the various inevitable ups and downs; her contacts with contractors and stagers and others proved invaluable as we did a pre-sale “spruce up.” She and her team were responsive, professional, kind, and trustworthy.
Ashley made buying a house in Austin a breeze during this competitive time. Her knowledge of the market was invaluable and set us up for success right from the beginning of our search. As first-time home buyers, she made sure we asked the right questions and went above and beyond on all of the little things that really mattered during final negotiations. Ashley’s team made our experience easy, and we’ve already begun recommending her to our friends.
I truly enjoyed my experience with the Brinkman team. I quickly learned how important a Realtor’s relationships are; Ashley and the team found me many options and tours, had great relationships within the market, and recommended an amazing, local lender for me to work with. From the start, Ashley held educational Zoom sessions and truly believed in educating and empowering everyone stepping into the market. She is dedicated to providing her clients with every resource possible, and I’m so appreciative of their dedication to me in this stressful market. They walked me through every step of the way, no matter how fast things had to be done, and they always responded to me within minutes of me reaching out. They gave me step-by-step, detailed “checklists” that were so helpful for navigating my first home-buying process. Ultimately, the Brinkman team is here to win! I couldn’t be happier with them and my new place, and I’m looking forward to recommending Ashley and the team to my connections.
I am also so thankful for the recommendations and resources Ashley has passed along to me after closing. I am currently working with a contractor recommended by her, who has been amazing so far! I appreciate all the hard work that Realty Austin does to give clients amazing experiences!
10/10 experience with the Brinkman Team! From the get-go, Ashley and Sydney have been nothing but professional and knowledgeable about the home buying process. Very importantly to us, they were very clear in all communication about what we needed to prepare for as potential homebuyers in this insane Austin market. There wasn’t any ambiguity or waffling around, which was appreciated. Overall, we are so grateful to them for how smoothly the whole process went, from the new buyer presentation to closing. I would recommend Ashley and her team to anyone who is serious about buying or selling in this market because they truly know their stuff! I also loved Ashley’s thoughtful notes and fun gifts, which were always fun to receive.
Ashley, Sydney, and the team were amazing. Buying a first home is stressful enough, add to it the unreal real estate market we are currently experiencing, and we were STRESSED. But Sydney and Ashley walked us through the whole process and pretty much held our hand the entire way. From walking us through open houses to making the best offers to the whole closing process, there was no way we could have handled this situation without the Brinkman team’s help. Their experience is invaluable!
We loved working with Ashley and the team! When we found the house we hoped to buy, Ashley worked hard to figure out what it would take to win it, and we did! In this crazy Austin market, that’s not easy to go. We also found their vendor list super helpful as we set up some improvement projects for the house, certainly a full-service team that we’d highly recommend!
Working with Ashley and the rest of the Brinkman team at Realty Austin has been an absolute pleasure. Purchasing a home itself can be a stressful event and such a big decision, let alone in the current crazy market. Being able to trust Ashley and her entire team and the help and support I received from them throughout the whole process made for such a great experience. From the beginning of the process, Sydney and Ashley were amazing at helping me find places that met my criteria, and they gave me great feedback and input to help me set my expectations in this market. The knowledge that they’re able to display around home buying and what to expect in the current market conditions is absolutely incredible. Then, through to my closing, the entire team was great about keeping me up to speed and answering any questions I had about documents and forms that needed to be submitted (and there are a lot!). The work that their team put in really did help make me feel so much more comfortable and confident the whole way through. I can’t even imagine going through this process with anyone else!
I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with The Brinkman Team. Before meeting Wendy, I had met with a couple of other realtors, but I knew instantly that she was the one for me. Wendy was honest hands-on from day one. She walked every property while checking all the things I wouldn’t have thought to check when touring a house. The entire Brinkman team Ashley, Wendy, and Tasha, really helped to take the pressure(s) off me even during a pandemic that I was sure would halt my buy/sell process.
I never felt forced to make an offer on a house I didn’t really love, and when I finally found the “one,” Wendy started going to work on an offer. Even though I was a backup offer, I felt at ease knowing these ladies were in my corner. I trusted Wendy so much that at one point, I just told her, “I trust yall, make it happen and just tell me where to sign.” Ashley and the entire team walked me through every step of the process, making it an extremely seamless transaction. When I have friends looking for homes or thinking about selling, I will always recommend The Brinkman Team to them!
