    "I can’t recommend her enough."
    I can’t recommend Beth enough. I first met her at an open house she was holding. My husband and I weren’t even really “looking” but that house seemed appealing and we decided to see it. We got into a lovely conversation with her and just “connected” somehow. I ended up leaving my phone number and address (something I never do)- and that was really serendipitous. I didn’t have a realtor in mind to work with and just went with my instincts that Beth was the one I wanted. She never hassled, never bothered us. If I saw something I was interested in, I emailed or texted her and she would take me to see it. She was always available. Sooner than I expected, the perfect house appeared and eventually, we purchased it. At that point, we began the process of selling our own. Beth was amazing - had the right idea about everything, pricing, staging (or not)! We trusted her and we weren’t let down. Our home sold immediately and closing was a snap. She is such a calming presence and helps to make you less anxious throughout the entire process of buying and/or selling. I told her I was going to have “Beth withdrawal” after it was all over. She is just a lovely, lovely person and as I said above, I can’t recommend her enough.

    "She was positive, encouraging, and most of all professional. She was always there when needed!"
    Beth sold the house that was in very poor condition. She managed to make the photos amazingly good. She was positive, encouraging, and most of all professional. She was always there when needed. She gave wonderful recommendations for services to come in and clear out the house, clean it to perfection,and clean the carpet. I could never have done all that without her! Her efforts and contacts gave us a very quick sale, over the asking price! And THEN she was a miracle worker in completing the sale to closing. I have sold several houses over the years; but I can honestly say that Beth did the best, most efficient, successful job of any previous realtor. If I ever have to sell a house again I will definitely use Beth! And I am wholeheartedly recommending her to my family and friends.

    "She's just a total pro!"
    I would recommend Beth to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Austin area. She served as our listing agent for our house, and she provided us with excellent strategic advice and services (evaluation by a home stager, inspection, etc.). She understood and demystified all the processes and legal documents for us.And it was such a relief to work with someone so clear-headed, knowledgeable, and just really good at her job. In addition, Beth helped us buy our new house--and even helped find us a rental while we were making the transition from the old house and looking for a new place. She was so responsive, helpful, and just lovely to work with. If you had a question, she'd have your answer--or she'd find it for you. She returns calls and emails immediately. She's just a total pro who made the stressful process of selling, moving, and buying a little less scary!

    "We can't recommend her enough!"
    Beth has served as our agent for three transactions: two purchases and one sale. Every time we have been enthusiastically happy with her support and expertise. Most recently, she helped us put our house on the market and got an excellent price. We have two kids, a dog, and two full-time jobs,so we were getting a little overwhelmed by the logistics. But Beth helped us prioritize upgrades and repairs, referring us to her excellent network of contractors. She did an excellent job helping us stage and market our house, culminating in multiple bids after only being on the market for a few days. She has such a good sense of the market and she managed the sale perfectly. She also was extremely helpful (and fun!) while we searched for our new home, ultimately driving a hard bargain for us in our purchase. She is a delight to work with. We can't recommend her enough!

    "Beth – thank you!"
    After having a family member retire from being a real estate agent, it can take a minute to decide who you are going to put your trust into for your next real estate purchase. For some, it may not be that difficult. For others, like us, a young a couple starting out with a child on the way,we had a lot on our plate to think about and we needed our real estate agent to be committed and dedicated to our “Team” and our efforts. Beth is a bubbly, loyal, hardworking, firecracker of a woman within her petite frame. When it comes to real estate, she is tenacious, knowledgeable and diligent. You hire Beth when you want to get a real estate deal done – especially, in our case, when it was a property we’ve wanted to buy for nearly a year. How do you put in a strong offer without giving away the shop so-to-speak, especially when you are looking at a property in a competitive area of town (which most areas of Austin seem to be nowadays)? Beth understands this delicate balance and helped us navigate our way straight to the closing table in March 2017! We are thrilled about the beautiful home that we can now call ours. Beth – thank you!

    "She is very professional and has great knowledge!"
    I used Beth to sell my house and she made some great recommendations on what to do with the house to get it ready and it sold the first day on the market! She also helped me to buy my next house quickly since mine had sold so quickly. She is very professional and has great knowledge about theAustin area and what worked for me.

    "she displays amazing professionalism"
    We recently sold our Central Austin home through Beth Barlow, and from start to finish she was fantastic - she was spot on with pricing and suggested repairs/upgrades, had a wealth of contacts to help find contractors (carpet, fencing, plumbing, etc), and even was there to manage contractor appointments when we had to be out of town.She kept us well informed throughout the process and was quick to respond to our questions. We expected a competitive market and she went the extra mile, staging our house beautifully and holding 4 open houses - ultimately getting us a sale above our asking price! We cannot recommend Beth highly enough - she displays amazing professionalism, is in tune with the Austin market, and truly made the process easy and enjoyable!

    "Beth is fantastic!"
    Beth is fantastic! I was unsure of how much success I would have in such a fast-paced market, but she knows what it takes to get it done. She is incredibly responsive and makes sure to keep her clients up-to-date with an assortment of applicable properties. When it came to putting in offers,she knew what it would take to be competitive, but never pressured anything outside of my means. I’m now in my beautiful new home and extremely happy with the process.

    "Beth is a great realtor"
    Beth is a great realtor, she helped navigate me through the process of selling and buying a house in one month. The process of buying/selling can be very stressful, she was fantastic at helping me stay on track and not freak out. Beth was always available for any question (big or small or the same question for the 10th time).I never had to wait for her to get back to me, which is much appreciated as one goes through this process. Communication is key and Beth knocks it out of the park on that aspect. This was the first home I've sold, and I couldn't have asked for more positive experience. I highly recommend Beth as a realtor.

    "Great experience"
    As first time home buyers there was a lot of uncertainty going into the process- thank goodness we had Beth on our side! She took the time to explain every step and answer all of our questions, was timely and professional in her response, and never pressured us into anything.She even pointed out some issues with some of the houses we went to look at to warn us of potential problems- Beth was always looking out for us! We love our new home and have Beth to thank for introducing us to a neighborhood we never even considered. Great experience, highly recommend!

    "I would never consider using another real estate professional other than Beth Barlow!"
    Before Beth listed our condo, she walked us through some of the improvements that would bring the best return on investment. She was honest, friendly, and very easy to work with. She helped us price our condo at a competitive, aggressive price point, and we were under contract in 7 days. At that time,Austin was at the height of its real estate heyday, and the market was insane. Beth used our wish-list criteria to help us narrow down what part of the city we wanted to live in. She was full of information, tidbits, advice--but never once did I feel pressured or overwhelmed; just helped in the right direction. Beth was a reassuring voice throughout the process. When we found a home we loved, she made sure that we got our bid in at the right time, and it was accepted 48 hours after we first viewed the home (and chosen over five other competing bids). She made sure we had all our paperwork ready when it was necessary, recommended competent and trustworthy associates, and made the process extremely easy. There was almost nothing stressful about buying our home; it amazes me to look back and say that, but it's true. We have no plans to move anytime soon, but I would never consider using another real estate professional other than Beth Barlow.

    "We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"
    My daughter and I relocated to Austin from California. We found the Austin real estate market to be daunting with little inventory, lots of competition, and quickly rising prices. We were lucky to happen upon Beth at one of her listings. She was genuinely happy to meet us, full of energy,and sincere in her follow-up and desire to find us a home. Beth is a hard-working, knowledgeable, and scrappy real estate agent. She is tapped into standard tools, like the MLS, but also word of mouth and networking. Beth took a pro-active approach to our search and listened to our needs so we were able to narrow down our search area quickly. When it came time to look at homes, I was always happy with the number of homes and variety of options provided. Each day of touring, Beth was professional, well-prepared and organized. She would map out a route to make the trip as efficient as possible and even offered drinks and snacks! Once we found the right home, Beth became a trusted advisor and provided concierge level service. She helped strategize an offer, compiled key dates for closing, helped navigate inspections, set up and met with contractors for estimates, showed us the home repeatedly - with family in town or just because, and even attended the closing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we owe that in large part to Beth’s great attitude, knowledge, guidance, hard-work, and willingness to help us find the perfect home. We are all moved in now and couldn’t be happier.

    "Beth is an amazing agent and I cannot recommend her enough!"
    Beth is an amazing agent and I cannot recommend her enough. Beth helped me with the purchase of my first home last year. She was incredibly patient with all of my questions (and boy were there a lot!). I can’t say enough about her professionalism and knowledge of the industry, and of Austin real estate market in particular.Beth was energetic, knowledgeable, attentive, listened carefully, and seemed to always be available, as if I were her only client, even though I definitely was not! In addition to my home purchase transaction, Beth was incredibly helpful with recommendations for amazing contractors when I wanted to have some work done. Many months after closing Beth was still thinking of me, and reached out to make sure I had filed Homestead paperwork, etc. With Beth it’s not about the individual transaction but about building relationships. I was lucky to have worked with her and highly recommend her to everyone!

    "Beth was an excellent and proactive buyers"
    Beth was an excellent and proactive buyers agent for us. We had worked with another agent for a few months with no luck. After switching to Beth, we had a house under contract in a few weeks. She drove the area looking for coming soon signs, got us in to a few pre market showings and provided constructive feedback in helping us make decisions on offers.We wanted to buy in a hot area with almost no inventory and Beth made it happen.

    "Beth has been an amazing asset to my partner and me"
    Beth has been an amazing asset to my partner and me. She has now been both a buyers agent and sellers agent for us. She is a delight to work with and a shrewd negotiator. She helped us navigate a purchase on a home with multiple offers. Her knowledge in presenting an offer secured us the home below asking price which is amazing given the market and the multiple offers.When we recently sold an investment property she was again helpful beyond our expectations. We were able to sell the property without disturbing our tenant nor interrupting our revenue stream before closing. We got our asking price but saved greatly because she brought a buyer to the table. I cannot recommend her more.

    "Her dedication shows in everything she does."
    Beth is the best realtor! She is professional, extremely knowledgeable, and the best part is she goes above and beyond her call of duty! When you work with Beth, you never feel like you are "out of the loop". She is incredibly easy to contact and doesn't leave you waiting for updates.What stands out to me about Beth that put her above the rest, were the actions she took AFTER our closing. We had discrepancies in our inspection that jeopardized out home owners insurance and Beth stepped in with personal assistance in order to make sure that we began a happy start in our new home. Beth is 100% committed to the satisfaction of her clients, and her dedication shows in everything she does.

    Beth is professional, friendly, and a great communicator. She has helped us now with the sale of two homes and the purchase of another.

Both homes sold above asking price.Beth is informative and easy to work with. She was wonderful through the negotiations, and made each experience easy to navigate. She was truly a delight to work with. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.

    "Beth made, what could have been an ordeal, a pleasure. She’s great."
    Beth Barlow did a wonderful job selling the town house owned by my mother’s estate. I was dreading the whole process but Beth took care of just about everything. She immediately went to work, looking through the whole house and making suggestions about small improvements that would increase its value.With a prioritized list, a plan of attack, and boundless energy, and her many helpful connections, the vacant house, once again looked like a home. Since the house was empty, she arranged staging that was both economical and effective. In less than a week I had an offer that was a good bit more than I was expecting and I happily accepted it. If I ever have to sell another property, I would not hesitate to choose Beth to handle the sale. Beth made, what could have been an ordeal, a pleasure. She’s great.

    "It is clear that she truly enjoys her profession!"
    We enlisted Beth when we were looking for a home summer 2015. Given that one of us travelled for work often, it made it challenging to coordinate all that's necessary in the purchase of a home. However, Beth was very accommodating to us, and with the help of today's technology,we didn't skip a beat in moving everything along on schedule. Beth was always prompt, responsive, accommodating, and professional. She always followed through in everything she committed to, and went above and beyond in areas that we would not have expected. Her experience allowed her to guide us through things to think about, and counsel us wisely on decisions. She facilitated well amongst all the parties involved, and advocated well for us. She is in tune with the Austin market, well knowledged in real estate, resourceful, truly invests herself in the wellness of her clients, and it is clear that she truly enjoys her profession - what a great combination!

    "I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience with her."
    We used Beth to sell and buy our home and I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience with her. She helped us with every step of preparing our home for sale and connected us with the best resources (painters, cleaners, etc). After much research,she priced our house about 40k over what we thought we could get – and we got full asking price! We hit a few unavoidable hiccups along the way that we could not have navigated on our without Beth’s extensive experience. She really took so much of the stress off our plate. Thanks to her smart staging and pricing, we sold our home significantly faster than other comparable homes in the neighborhood. And when it came to buying a home, Beth really listened to what we wanted and did not waste our time looking at houses that did not meet our criteria. When we did find our dream home, it was Beth’s strategy (which we would have done the opposite on our own) that won us the house in a very competitive market with multiple bids. She is an excellent negotiator and saved us thousands when it came down to navigating our final deal. Beth continues to be a resource to us even after closing! Not only is she such a savvy realtor but also a really fun and enjoyable person to lead you through the whole home buying/selling experience.

    "My happiness was clearly her first priority!"
    Since moving to Austin in 1987 I have worked with three different real estate agents as a buyer prior to working with Beth. The service they provided was similar in all cases. I told them what house I wanted to look at and they chauffered me to see it. This was a very arduous process that I did not enjoy.My experience with Beth was completely different. Beth listened carefully as I described what I was looking for until she precisely understood my requirements. She then found the perfect house for me - within the neighborhood I wanted to reside - and negotiated a price with the seller that was within my budget. After an offer was made, she followed up at every stage to ensure the deal completed. She made the process seemless. Beth was a pleasure to work with. She impresssed me with her knowledge and resourcefulness. She remained diligent and optimistic throughout the entire process while maintaining a level of professionalism rarely seen today. My happiness was clearly her first priority. Beth would rather forgo a commission than have a dissatisfied customer.
