Sean Smith is a pleasure to deal with and a Pro. We wholeheartedly recommend.
Sean Smith represented my wife & I during an unusual and stressful real estate purchase transaction. A massive forest fire erupted just after we entered into contract on a property forcing a week long evacuation of the neighborhood and subsequent insurance moratoriums. Sean navigated through the process patiently and effectively. He responded quickly and calmly to rapidly changing circumstances. Now, we are the happy owners of a new home. Sean Smith is a pleasure to deal with and a Pro. We wholeheartedly recommend. Dave & Annette B.
Lake Austin Boat Slip
I have been looking for a boat slip on Lake Austin for the last two years. Sean came through and secured a great place a block away from Ski Shores Cafe! Can’t wait to hit Lake Austin this summer ahead. Thank you Sean for everything you’ve done. Time to get on the water!
Sean helped us find the perfect property in Austin. His patience, attention to detail, quick-moving self, and calm demeanor were a huge asset during a crazy time in the Austin market. I could call Sean with a house to see and he’d make it happen within the hour. A huge plus for Sean is his ability to find off-market listings. I have never seen another agent find as many off-market listings as Sean. Thank you, Sean!
Sean can make deals happen! His commercial intensity and professionalism providing data points in a timely fashion are key to closing deals. He is friendly and easy to work with and I recommend him to anyone whether buying or selling.

Our first-ever experience of buying a home in the US; we were nervous, didn't know the process, didn't trust anyone in the realtor market, new to Texas, and then we met Sean at a random house inspection, and everything panned out nicely from then onwards. This guy helped us through the whole process every step of the way. Sean connected us to the right people, offered transparent and fair advice on the property market, and was super patient with our crazy work routine and availability. Anytime we messaged him for help or a question, he got back to us no matter what. He is super professional and considers all needs of his customers (schools, kids' ages, commute distances, community needs etc). It's nearly impossible to find someone who engages with you at every level, truly understands your requirements, and does not just pretend to know. The process of home inspections was super smooth. …

He is super professional and considers all needs of his customers (schools, kids' ages, commute distances, community needs etc). It's nearly impossible to find someone who engages with you at every level, truly understands your requirements, and does not just pretend to know. The process of home inspections was super smooth. He didn't miss a single property we wished to see. The details submitted by Sean were thorough, videos, paperwork, real estate market reports, and compare-notes between properties. He visited most of the properties without us while we were in California. He presented the inspection reports the same day and primarily within 1 hour of the inspection. If we had any further questions, Sean followed up with the other party multiple times to ensure we got all the information needed for the decision. In some cases, we had to re-inspect the same property to rethink our decision, and Sean made himself available whenever we needed his professional advice. Sean made the offer submittal process easy for us. He would give a quick briefing on the process and forms and we would click and submit the documents in a tick. With this, we could submit multiple offers on the same day without any errors. We are super happy with the home we got! It could not have been at a better location, size and price. The transaction was the smoothest ever. Sean recommended an inspector, and we are happy with the report and follow-ups from that company to this day. They are coming back next week to do a courtesy inspection of the home's energy efficiency. Important to note that this transaction happened in the middle of a chaotic housing market in Austin where people won't secure a property after submitting ten offers. We were able to submit multiple offers and secured a property in 3 weeks, and that's in the craziest market in the US. Towards the end, we were in a tricky situation with the possibility of two offers getting accepted. Sean wasted no time providing professional advice tackled the case in the best way possible, and saved us from wasting any money on the retracted offer. The title transfer process was smooth, and Sean was there for multiple days to support the paperwork and clarify transfer-related things for us. If he didn't know something, he would find out to ensure we got the correct information. The service after closing the contract was excellent. We had to get in touch with the seller's realtor a couple of times, and Sean stepped in to assist in no time. Can't forget the number of times he would follow up if we needed anything. We can't thank him enough for his dedication and involvement in the whole process overall. Will surely work with Sean in the future"

Sean was more than a professional; he made the effort to get to know us as family and respected our needs. His courtesy, reliability, and clear communication are just some of the reasons I would recommend him to others. I had some very specific and probably challenging requests for a house rental, and Sean managed to find multiple options to choose from. Not only that, but he updated us frequently and was very flexible about meeting us nearly any day, time, or location. His consideration of our needs, his genuine friendliness with our family, and his success in finding us a home below our budget range showed Sean to be a truly wonderful person to work with. He even checked in on us weeks after we were settled in. I would depend on him again to find a home or future rental in a heartbeat.
