Kristen Williamson – Williamson Group

My boyfriend and I just closed on our first house in East Austin. We approached this whole experience with equal parts excitement and trepidation, with a long list of questions and an even longer wish-​list for our dream home. I remember walking in to meet Kristen and not even knowing where to begin…
I’m not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that, halfway into our initial meeting, I knew that we were in the best of hands. Kristen was knowledgable, she was confident, but above all, she was genuine and extremely kind. She assured us that she’d fight for us and make sure we found the perfect home.
We got to know Kristen very well over the next month or two. Even when we felt like we were pestering her with questions, she always responded so quickly and so graciously. I know that it wasn’t an easy task! She accompanied us all over Austin and was very intuitive about our needs and desires. We never felt any pressure – if anything, Kristen had a more discerning eye than either of us! She was quick to offer advice and her input about the listing we were seeing, so that we were as informed as possible. We really got the sense that she was invested in our happiness and our well-​being.
I feel so fortunate that Kristen was by our side during this whole experience. She’s both a sweetheart and a fighter – and that’s exactly what you want in your realtor.

I cannot believe how lucky I am to have found Kristen and Ashley. They made buying my first house an amazing experience. Kristen’s background as an accountant shone through as she provided comps and data that really clarified the Austin housing market. She always made me feel like I was her only client. She was thorough in her research and made sure to ask the right questions during inspections, paperwork, appraisals, etc. I knew she had my best interests in mind.
Ashley was extremely knowledgable, professional, and personable. I appreciated her communication and sense of urgency. When my schedule changed and I needed to view a house last minute, Ashley went out of her way to open the house for me immediately.
I can’t say enough good things about these two. I’ll be referring every one of my friends to Kristen.

If you’re smart enough to follow her advice and recommendations, Kristen will make your home-​buying process as easy as possible. She will help you focus on the right properties and coordinate the right people to keep things on track. Together with Ashley coordinating communication behind the scenes, you will be well-​taken care of.

Kristen and Ashley guided us through the entire home buying process. Her knowledge of the different neighborhoods around Austin helped us find the perfect location! As first-​time homebuyers using a VA loan, Kristen was there every step of the way making sure we were taken care of and our questions were answered. Since we were moving from out of town, Kristen made sure that we were set up all the way through our home-​buying process, from home search to remote closing. We highly recommend Kristen and Ashley to anyone moving to Austin!

Home Buying Made Fun and Personable
One morning, my wife and I were talking about the possibility of buying another home. Knowing Kristen from before and after hearing great things from friends, we decided to give her a call. After the first meeting with Kristen to talk about the process, we could tell this would be a great experience. Kristen was well organized, knowledgeable about the market, and had such a calming and reassuring presence. We left the meeting excited about the possibilities!
Then came the house hunt. We excitedly awaited the weekends where we could spend time with Kristen touring homes in Austin. She provided her expert advice along the way and sent us listings that she thought we would like. Eventually, she became so attuned to our taste that we could have let her put an offer on a home without us even looking at it! When it came to making an offer on our now current home, she provided us with the information we needed to make a winning offer beating out multiple bids while still coming in under the appraised value.
The home buying experience with Kristen proved to be more than I could have ever asked for from a Realtor. Once we settled into our home, we were actually sad that the process had come to an end because it was such a joy to work with Kristen. Luckily, Realtors make great friends too! To this day, we still keep in touch with Kristen and look forward to the next time we can get together. You will be hard pressed to find a better Realtor in Austin (or anywhere for that matter). If you are in the market for selling or buying a home and you want a personal touch from a highly experienced and talented Realtor, I recommend giving Kristen a call. You will not regret it.

Kristen and Ashley are a pleasure to work with. We had a great experience from our initial meetings to the day of closing. During the offer process Kristen helped me negotiate the price and adjust the offer letter with ease. She uses modern tools that simplifies the offer process. For instance, you can sign contract documents using your mobile phone. I am also thankful for her referrals. For instance, I was referred to a great lender who was very thorough and professional. Kristen only wants the best for her clients. I highly recommend Kristen, and I will definitely use her services again in the future.

I cannot say enough positive things about Kristen and her team. She defies all negative stereotypes about real estate agents. She and her incredible team are responsive, highly knowledgable, and experienced in the competitive and fast-​paced environment of Austin realty. But what most sets her apart from other agents is her integrity — she demonstrates throughout every step of the home buying process that her objective is to understand and meet your needs and desires. She is an incredible listener and holds your best interests above all else.
I am a Navy wife that orchestrated our first home purchase and move from Jacksonville, FL with Kristen and her team almost entirely virtually while my husband was overseas. Her intelligence and market knowledge, diligence and patient understanding throughout the entire process built my confidence and trust beyond measure. I was able to fly to Austin for a long weekend and purchase our dream home, in our dream neighborhood — right on budget — complete our inspection, and get under contract due in no small measure to her and her team’s preparation, organization, quick action and experience in the Austin market. She and her team are an absolute dream to work with and consistently removed the stress and worry from the equation for us. She is damn good at what she does. I couldn’t have imagined a more positive or successful experience for buying our first home. She earned my ultimate appreciation and my highest recommendation.

I know a few agents and I can say Kristen is one of the best if not the best agent. She has a financial background so she stick to the numbers and does not focus on the «salesmen» like approach I tend to dislike about the agent/​buyer relationship.
What separates her from other agents is her process of identifying your needs and sticking to the process you identify. We told her we were not in a rush and was looking for a fair price (even in the Austin market, which at the time was a sellers market). After shopping around we submitted a bid and she encouraged us to BID LOWER. Most agents will rarely if not ever tell you to bid lower because you risk losing the house (and they risk their commission and time). Because of this approach, Kristen saved us 12k under the list price in Austin/​Cedar Park when houses were selling over listing price.

To save you some time in your realtor search — just go with Kristen! Kristen helped us buy our first house in Austin last year, and she was phenomenal. If you are a buyer in Austin these days, your home search may take a long time since inventory is so low, and so it’s important to have a realtor that:
1. Is knowledgeable about what is out there — Kristen knows the market very well, and has a good sense of what is out there and when a property is under– or overpriced.
2. Is data-​driven — Kristen takes the time to collect and very carefully analyze the data on comps, so you can bid for a house with confidence.
3. Is patient and no-​pressure — Kristen was always happy to take the extra time for us to see more houses, run the numbers with us, talk through the details of the contract, and more.
4. Is fun to work with — Kristen made the housing search a lot of fun, even though it took a while before we finally found the right house!
In the end, Kristen helped us buy a house that has been perfect for us, and the process was smooth, interesting, exciting, and fun!

Kristen is absolutely fantastic at her job. Friends and family warned us what a ardous process purchasing our first home would be, but luckily we got connected with Kristen and it was the most pleasant, smooth experience we could have ever dreamed of. We cannot believe we were so lucky to meet her. Cannot give her enough positive praise. She is fabulous.

Kristen was fantastic to work with throughout the entire selling process. She is extremely patient and friendly but shoots you straight when she needs to, which was very appreciated. Kristen is responsive and definitely knows her stuff. We’ll definitely be sticking with Kristen and Ashley!

Kristen is amazing at her job. She is smart, very knowledgable about the market and cares a tremendous amount about finding her clients their ideal home. Kristen goes above and beyond to help her clients. In fact, she found me a house that wasn’t even on the market yet. Kristen was attending a networking meeting for agents and got word of a house coming soon, and jumped on it so quickly that we had an offer in that night and a signed contract within a couple of days. It was my dream house.
Kristen works very well with other agents and has a fantastic reputation. This is key when trying to get something to play in her client’s favor. She is extremely diligent and very professional. She is honest, straight forward and genuinely cares about her clients and wants the best deal for them.
I will only work with Kristen Williamson and the W. Group moving forward. I could not have asked for a better experience, realtor or new home. Many thanks to Kristen.

I will never use another realtor! Kristen is so knowledgeable about real estate, friendly and easy to work with. She understood what my husband and I were trying to do and helped us make our dreams a reality. She is the best!

Kristen is THE BEST agent for all your real estate needs! She was super patient with my family as we looked at house after house and did a ton of research into the markets/​areas we were looking at. She is very responsive and goes above and beyond for her clients. Highly recommend her.
