Anne Johnson is the best real estate agent in Austin. She is extremely experienced, responsive, an excellent negotiator and honest (which is invaluable and rare in this market). We went through several real estate agents before we worked with Anne. We had previous real estate agents recommend the following to us to attempt to close a sale quickly (none of which were in our best interest): to buy a home that had pages of repairs including foundation issues, move an hour away from where we work, downgrade the quality of the schools for our children, to buy next to a drainage ditch, etc. You get the idea. We were also told, not to worry when we bid way over asking, everything was appraising ... which was clearly not true and put many buyers in a horrible financial position. Anne on the other hand, did have our best interest in mind. She was honest when homes had expensive issues, were not built well or were placed in a location which would affect its property value in the future, and recommended we pass on those homes. She did not ask us to compromise on what we valued the most, and was willing to work with us until we found the right home for us that would also be a solid investment. She also didn't make us feel like money had no value and we should be willing to throw any amount at a home just to "have the privilege" of buying one. In the end, Anne helped us buy a beautiful home that checked off most of our boxes, was built well, 20 minutes from work, and in a great school district. She negotiated expertly and was very aware of the market, while balancing that real challenge with our needs and protecting us and our investment. If you want an experienced, honest realtor who is a pleasure to work with, call Anne. You won't regret it.
