WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
I can't say enough good about Kate Hamlin! Kate was our agent a few months ago when we purchased our first home. As first-time home buyers, the process was intimidating and overwhelming. However, Kate led us through the entire process each step of the way. From mundane questions to big meetings, Kate was our advocate, our support, and ultimately, our trusted friend. My husband and I both work full time a...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
My wife and I had to suddenly relocate to Austin as part of a job transfer. We were given 30 days in temporary housing but had to find a place to live fast. Kate provided us tools and suggestions to look at houses in the city before we even arrived, and when we showed up, she had everything planned out. She understood our urgency and met with us as often as possible to help us find a great home. She also...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
From our first phone conversation, Kate made my husband and I feel at ease. We were moving to Austin after a sudden job transfer and knew nothing about the city or where we might want to live. Kate listened to our priorities and lined up an entire day of showings. The pressure of seeing so many homes at once and needing to make a quick decision could have been overwhelming, but Kate's sense of humor and ...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
We were paired with Kate through my company's relocation process and we could have not been luckier to have worked with her! She was thorough, patient, knowledgeable, and responsive (even when we lived in different time zones). We were first-time home buyers and moving into a city we did not know well. Kate helped to guide us through the process to find what was the best fit for us. We just recently clos...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
When I hired Kate, I was looking to relocate one of my businesses to another area of our community. She went to work for me right away, in less than 24 hours she had over 20 listings that were within my criteria! I felt as though I was her only client and I know that is certainly not the case. Kate sees solutions and is not afraid to do whatever it takes to find the best solution possible for everyone. I...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
Kate was a dream to work with. We purchased our first home through Kate and could not have been happier. She made our search easy and was readily available to answer any questions we had. In addition, she has so many contacts in the industry, that she was able to set up our inspection and connect us with lenders. She guided us through the entire process and even pushed our lender to get all of our paperw...
