Michael B. bought a home in Austin

My wife and I could not be any happier with Jim. He was fantastic throughout every single step of the process and always went above and beyond in areas we didn't even think of. Not only is Jim is the nicest guy, but he was also a great negotiator. He came through in so many ways. Thank you, Jim!

Jon And Jenna L. bought a home in Austin

Jim McFarland at Realty Austin is just incredible. Hes kind, hes patient, he isnt pushy, and he fights like heck for his clients. He helped us make a deal that we were comfortable with and advocated for us until the very end, making sure that we got everything we needed. Jim even went so far as to recommend contractors to help us take care of some issues like popcorn ceilings, painting, and roofing, and every person in his contractor network is punctual, kind, and a joy to work with. Plus, if youre looking with a little one, hes amazing with kids and isnt put off by toddler-y stuff! In fact, he always made an effort to try to make our daughter smile and was so thoughtful in giving us a closing gift with her in mind. We trust Jim implicitly, and I would recommend him to ANYONE looking for a home, in any size, budget, or zip code in the area. If you need a new place, hes your guy, 100%!

Abbey And Matt M. bought a home in Austin

We had the opportunity to work with Jim Mcfarland from Realty Austin and had such a slick and easy home buying experience! We were moving to the Austin area from out of state, and Jim took the time to listen to our hopes for our new home and gave us wonderful suggestions on where to begin looking. He spent multiple days with us walking through many homes and was great at finding homes with what we were looking for. Communication was quick and easy, never rushed, and Jim was patient with me as I had SO many questions and concerns that he answered. Jim was great at negotiating the price and helping us get the best mortgage rate we could. I truly felt Jim had our best interest in mind as we went through this scary process of home buying!

Allison H. in Austin

Jim was patient and flexible during the house hunting process - which was great because we were still discovering what we wanted in a home and what was available in our price range. He was helpful and available at the times we asked to see homes. He was respectful when we changed our minds. He never pressured us. He negotiated with the seller and got us a lower price. He followed up well on the details of moving to the home and kept us in the loop. He is trustworthy and all around a great guy to work with. We are super happy with the home we are in and would recommend Jim to our friends.

Reid K. in Austin

Jim helped me prep and sell a house in Lost Creek (Westlake). His integrity, calm demeanor, and creative thinking skills are valuable to assist you in any Real Estate transaction. He also helped develop scenarios and strategies based on my risk profile. Jim went out of his way to find contractors for small fixes, be on-site to inspect the work, and a dozen other things I've never had a realtor do for me. I will use Jim again, and I would strongly encourage you to give him a call.
