REATX Realty

Wow. That’s the best way I can describe my experience with Amber Galligan at REATX. From the moment I reached out to her (and she called me back within an hour) to today, post-​close on my new downtown condo when she’s still helping me get settled with helpful recommendation, Amber has been amazing.
She’s responsive, patient, proactive, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and just all-​around awesome. As a first-​time buyer I was totally intimidated going into the buying process, but Amber was there every step of the way with advice and guidance to actually make it fun — and isn’t that how it should be?!
If you’re searching for an agent, look no further because she’s the best there is.

I worked with 2 Realtors here, Brian and Bryan. They took really good care of me. I am pleased to report that I love the place we found and the experience was painless. I would use them again today if needed.

Bryan Kosarek helped me find and close on an East Austin condo. I found Bryan through the downtown Austin blog and was impressed by his knowledge of condo trends in the downtown and East Austin area. I was interested in past market and sales data, as well as projected growth and development plans for specific areas in East Austin. Bryan knew the market well and always found answers to my questions.
He also worked with my unique closing period and travel to schedule to make the buying process stress free. I travel much of the month, so it was convenient to be able to e-​sign all of my documents and maintain all of my documentation electronically.
I highly recommend Bryan and Remax Downtown.

I’ve worked with Jude Galligan from REMAX Downtown Austin as both a buyer and most recently as someone trying to rent my place. Both times I came away impressed with his knowledge of downtown Austin real estate trends and the ability to close deals quickly and without incident. Jude has a great pulse on downtown Austin, and this is clearly evident by both speaking to him or by reading his popular Downtown Austin Blog. He has a great grasp of technology, which helps immensely as his site that listed my place to rent gets high rankings on Google searches for high-​traffic keywords like ‘downtown Austin condos’. Jude also makes the experience very easy through quick online communication. I never had to print and fax cumbersome paperwork, as he had the contracts set up in an easy «e-​sign» structure. And best of all, he is a great negotiator. He helped get my place rented at the high end of my preferred cost window, and very quickly too. It has been a pleasure doing business with Jude and I will definitely use his services in the future.

Jude assisted with me a condo purchase: below is a quick summary of what I think of him and the service he provides.
I can tell you that I have never encountered a Realtor throughout my professional career that has earned my respect from an intellectual and execution capacity until I met Jude.
Jude is not only the most effective individual I’ve worked with in real estate, he is also very passionate about his work and maintains one of if not THE best Austin real estate blogs on the net.
Jude’s knowledge of the Austin real estate market and especially downtown, can be deconstructed down to a street by street/​block by block analysis which will shed light on your particular transaction with respect to risk assessment and ROI.
You would also be hard pressed to find someone this intimately connected with the downtown and surrounding Austin real estate market.
