Winona and Kathy are the best in the business hands down. They are both extremely knowledgable, friendly, hard working, fabulous listeners (they actually remember everything we told them we wanted in a home!) and they absolutely know the ins and outs of Austin real estate. My family has bought two homes with them, both under very different circumstances... \r

The first home we purchased with Winona was in 2009, and we were pressed for time and needed to find a home in Austin within a few weeks. Winona did all the research before our trip to Austin (we were unfamiliar with Austin at the time) and narrowed our search to about 7 homes that met all our criteria and were more than adequate. One of these homes we absolutely loved, and bought of course and we have loved it ever since. But she didn't just find us the perfect home. Since we were out of town, Winona (and Kathy) handled the closing for us, and even came to our house twice a week to water a dying plant during the drought in over 100 degree weather! What other realtor would do that?? During the inspection, Winona's attention to detail is simply amazing. We have lived in the home for 3 years, and I'm convinced any small flaws in our home she picked out during the inspection and they were fixed by closing.\r

Our second home purchase with Winona was for our parents who are moving to Austin. They were in no hurry, and they also wanted to find ""the perfect home"" like we did and of course we recommended Winona and Kathy. Since inventory was down in Austin in 2012 and our parents were unwilling to comprimise on any of their desires, it took many home showings and many emails back and forth about prospective homes (almost 6 months of searching) before we finally found our parents the perfect one! Winona emailed almost daily during this time about prospective homes, and she sacrificed many weekends looking over the small Austin inventory with us. She was so patient and kind! My parents are now closing on their dream home thanks to Winona and Kathy!\r

To sum it up, In my opinion Winona and Kathy give anyone moving to the greater Austin area the best chance of finding their dream home.
