A real estate team that delivers on its promises

 “Heather and I would like to take this opportunity to thank René and Ellen for their hard work on our behalf. They helped us find a beautiful home. The house we purchased is the kind of house we thought would be our second or third house, but certainly we never believed we could have a house like this our first time buying. We were able to get this home with the aid of René and Ellen. They were more than willing to spend their weekends and evenings answering questions and providing information that first-time home buyers ask and need. They stuck with us through the whole process and made sure the tough questions were asked at closing and that we received all of our incentives, and for that we hold these two ladies in high regard.”

Thank you René and Ellen,
Heather and Toby

A church community finds a new home

 “The Logos Baptist Church was sent an angel from God in the person of René Ward. She showed the joy and enthusiasm that she has for her job and the helping of people. We want to thank René for her help and allowing God to use her to help His Church.”

Pastor Willie E. Kline Logos Baptist Church

Exceptional service, knowledge and commitment

Many THANKS! The market analysis you did on our home in The Oaklands in Round Rock will be critical as we move forward with some additions to the home. Having the visibility into values of homes in our neighborhood gives us an additional comfort level as we proceed with construction remodeling plans.
The analysis is very thorough and certainly took some time to produce. You and your staff certainly deliver on promises!

Exceptional service, knowledge and commitment

“J. René Ward has made the process of selling our home seem easy! As first time home sellers, finding the right real estate agent that was knowledgeable and truly understood our needs was extremely important to us. Our very first meeting with J. René was dedicated to her learning about us: our goals, requirements, timeframe, decision making process, preferences and style. The next meeting was spent providing us with an overview of the entire selling and buying process, a complete marketing analysis of our area and a review of the creative marketing tools that she would utilize in selling our home.
Most important of all J. René manages all the details associated with our house listing, marketing and promotion of our home and she provides us with regular updates so that we always have the latest information. This has been a truly awesome experience and despite the fact that J. René has many clients she always makes us feel like we are her only customers.
Whenever you have a need for a real estate professional ... we highly recommend J. René. Her commitment to her customers is unparalleled ... exceptional service, exceptional knowledge, exceptional commitment!”

Excellent REALTOR®, good friend

So often someone enters our lives and touches us in a special way, but we are remiss in letting them know just how much they have blessed us. Let me begin by saying that this is long overdue. The Lord has placed it on my heart to send you this greeting because you are such a special person to me. This email may not be the appropriate mechanism of which to deliver such a message, but I deemed it best, as a way to express many things that may be forgotten during a casual conversation.

First, CONGRATULATIONS on your recent achievement as a realtor! Additionally, thank you for your EXCELLENCE in service as a realtor. I really mean this from the heart. I thank you for making the experience of buying a new home, and selling the old one, a pleasent one. You greatly exceeded my expectations of a realtor. You were very knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive. You are truly a talented and gifted person. Although you may view your actions as ordinary, I see them as extraordinary! The whole experience of buying and selling a house could have been a traumatic process, but I am truly greatful that you were heaven sent; an answered prayer.

Not only are you a great realtor, I believe you to be a great example of excellence, especially for women. I thank you for all of the gifts that you so thoughtfully showered us with (the candles, the star candle holder, the new address labels, the interior decorator certificate, ...), and all with such a open heart. I can truly say that I have never been treated so kindly by someone who I so recently made an acquaintence. I am not one that is easily befriended, still, you always made me believe that you genuinely cared. Seeing you display such a loving concern, not only as a professional, but as a friend, makes you such an inspiration to me. And I just wanted to make sure that I shared this with you personally. I greatly admire you; you are a rare jewel.

Please know that you are truly appreciated as an individual. I pray that this message blesses you in a special way, as you have truly been a blessing to me.

Thank you for being a friend,
Ruthanna Wilson Walker

TESTIMONIAL FOR J. RENE WARD

 

Thank you - I'm now officially in debt up to my ears and very happy to be the newest Cash Poor Texan!

I wanted to take a minute and express my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your help.
Though certainly not my intention I know I haven't been the easiest of customers to deal with.  To list but a few of the "Colleen" challenges...
  • tight time-frames to both pre-qual and qual (had to get rid of that pesky house in NY too!)
  • tight time-frames to close or I would lose would turned out to be one darned fine locked rate!
  • asking to see many dozens of houses often under short notice all of which involved nights and/or weekends and all too often with disparate customer requirements!
  • needing to close remotely at the last minute!
  • pulling out of a contract and then back into the same contract !
  • asking Rene to deal with many of the buyers responsibilities on my behalf (inspections, walk through's, repair estimates, even the gas utility company activation)!
  • many dozens of phone calls and emails (almost all of which required a same day response aka Colleen is ...shall we say a "tad" demanding)!
  • PET ISSUES, PET ISSUES, PET ISSUES!
  • etc
My new home is lovely, the mortgage rate is fantastic and I truly do have "the best agent in Texas".  Truth be told I not only have the best agent in Texas I also have the best mortgage broker team in Texas and the best title company team in Texas.   
I counted and this is my eleventh home and fourteenth mortgage transaction.  Hand's down you five are absolutely the most dedicated and professional team I have ever worked with.  Each of you did what you said you would do WHEN you said you would do it...which is all to rare these days.   
I truly appreciate your collective hard work and professionalism.  Thank you once again for working so hard on my behalf!
Best regards,
Colleen Kavanaugh

TESTIMONIAL FOR CHERYL TUCKER

I recently went through the crazy process of searching for a new home for the first time.  I have always lived in apartments, so I had no idea what to expect.  I decided to go with a real estate agent to make it easier on me, and I am so glad I found Cheryl Tucker.  Cheryl is a really great real estate agent and also a really sweet lady.  She helped me every step of the way, from figuring out where to start to showing me all of my options and even getting me through the stressful red tape.

 

I am pretty picky, so finding something that would suit me wasn’t easy, but Cheryl worked extra hard to find the right place at the right price.  I am so happy with where I live now; it is absolutely the perfect home for me.  I am definitely recommending Cheryl to everyone I know.  And when the time comes to move again, I’ll be calling Cheryl first!

TESTIMONIAL FOR CHERYL TUCKER

 

I just wanted to go on record with a commendation for Ms. Cheryl Tucker. Frankly, with a residential property in the $80,000 range, I feared it would get little attention. Ms. Tucker not only did a tremendous amount of homework, but her professionalism and knowledge of the Austin market was comforting. She topped that off with getting an acceptable offer is about 48 hours.

 

She call expect a call the next time Schreiner University has a residential property to sell in the Austin area.

 

Sincerely,

 

Fred L. Gamble,

Vice President for Administration and Finance

 

 


TESTIMONIAL FOR DEBBIE GLENN
Hi Rene,
Thank you for referring us to Debbie Bailey-Glenn at CTX Mortgage to assist in refinancing our existing new home mortgage.  If you recall, we closed on our new home using a 1st lien ($344K @ 6.8%) and a 2nd lien ($85K@ 8.2%).  Our goal after closing was to eventually combine the liens into one, and lower our monthly payment.
Well, Debbie had the plan and the drive to satisfy our goals.  She worked hard and negotiated a package that combined the liens @ 6.1% as an 80/20 with closing costs at a an affordable amount, thereby reducing our monthly payment by $465.00.  It will take ~8 months to recoup the closing costs of $3690 using the $465 monthly savings alone.  The appraisal was the key factor in getting closing costs lowered (from $8.4K to $3.6K).  Debbie's strategy paid off.
As with you, Rene, you satisfied our goals in selling and purchasing our homes, and we always refer prospective clients to your business.  We will do the same for Debbie as well for her business.  We can't make a horse drink the best tasting water, but we can lead them to it.
Regards,
Kevin and Pamela
