Just wanted to say that I had the best experience with Gary C. I was going through a tough time after the passing of my husband and he helped me find a perfect and safe home was close to my job. He helped me inspect the property to make sure it was suitable and a good deal. This was much appreciated since I didn’t have my husband there to look at those things for me. He was knowledgeable and kind. He went the extra mile and walked me through each step until the very end. He took a lot of stress off my shoulders and was always quick to respond. You’re awesome Gary! -

I highly recommend Habitat Hunters and especially Lucindia Osbourne!I was in the process of interviewing and moving and literally did not have the time in the day to research and find a good rental property in Austin.I reached out to Habitat Hunters to help assist me and gave them the specs of what I was looking for and they made the process seamless.Lucincida was well connected, informed, responsive, and patient, helping me navigate a tricky situation where I ended up having a start date for my new job only a week out and no house secured.She was great at helping me expedite things and ensure I was able to find a place, get approved, and moved in, all in the last minute using her knowledge and acumen to navigate a difficult scenario.With as busy as I was, I quite literally could not have done it without her.Due to the impressive work on her part, I will undoubtedly be giving her a ring for when I am ready to buy a home in a few years!I would HIGHLY recommend Habitat Hunters and especially Lucindia O. for helping with any of your buying/selling/renting real estate needs. -

I am so fortunate that I found Lilly Baik. She listened to all of my needs and wants and she was there for me every step of the way while looking for my perfect home! She was more than accommodating whenever I had a question. I am happy with her and intend to work with her again and recommend to friends. Thanks again Lily! -

My mother and I really appreciate all the help that Lucindia Osbourn, our realtor, provided on our hunt for a rental property. We needed to find a rental property in a short matter of time, in the right location, and Lucindia surpassed our expectations. She’s professional, patient, kind, and worked to help us find the right property. She quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had and helped us get through the process quickly. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a rental property or buying a home. -

I couldnt have had better luck finding Michelle Weaver to help me through this process. Her willingness to help me through every single step (and then some) was something I didnt know I needed or was possible. Smart, kind, available, and an all around great person made this move/transition a truly easy and enjoyable journey. Moving sucks, but with Michelle, it sucked a whole lot less. -

My husband, daughter, and myself were honored to have Lily Baik as our realtor during the entire process on our house hunting. Lily is very professional, organized, and hard working when it comes to her clients. She would check in with me during the process of renting a house and reassured me that everything would work out. Ultimately, we are now in a very beautiful home thanks to Lily. I appreciate all the hard work she has done for me and my family. She will be our realtor when it comes to buying our first house! If you have any doubts about seeking help from a realtor, rest assure that Lily Baik is a wonderful relator and will get you into a home that you deserve. Thanks again Lily!! -

I had a great experience working with Michelle to find a home to lease. On our first trip out to view homes, she got a feel for what I was looking for and eventually guided me to the perfect rental- for me! She was patient and even told me her honest opinion if she didnt think it would be a good fit. Im glad I got to work with Michelle and would recommend her to others for sure. -

Michelle was a huge help to helping me and my boyfriend find a new house to rent. She answered every question I had, made sure while we were house hunting to keep in mind the best qualities of each house and help us rank them. As soon as we found the place she helped us through the whole application process, which helped my anxiety a bit. Will definitely contact her in the future if we need help finding a new place again! -

Desperate to find an apartment before my wife and I had to travel for the summer, I spoke to a dozen Austin area real estate agencies and the ONLY agents to follow up and try to help were Jody and Lucindia of Habitat Hunters. Jody kept an eye on us and Lucindia worked as my agent...and was just stellar. She is tireless and has heart and spirit. There was a moment she drove to the showing with her family in the car. I was amazed. We found an amazing apartment thanks to Lucindia, who never gave up and was always friendly and fast. Agents and agencies like these are rare. Call them. -

My husband and I have used Habitat Hunters the past three times we have moved, and we have had a great experience each time. They make the process so much easier than searching alone and are extremely helpful and informative along the way. Our most recent realtor, Gary Cross, went above and beyond to help us find our new home. Thank you to Gary and Habitat Hunters!! I can’t recommend them enough, and I’m sure we’ll work with them again in the future! -

Michelle was amazing! My sister and I had no idea how to go about finding a house to rent. Michelle created an online portal with homes to our preferences to make the hunt a heck of a lot easier! We are picky people 😅 even when we started feeling discouraged she kept us positive and went above and beyond to help us find the perfect place! 10/10 -

Saying Lucindia is amazing is an understatement. She is an incredible realtor, very knowledgeable and helpful! Thanks to Lucindia, my fiancé and I, were able to get the perfect house and we cannot thank her enough. If you want someone that will go absolutely above and beyond and help you with nothing but the best intentions, we HIGHLY recommend Lucindia. I won’t ever use another realtor again as long as I am able to work with her. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, she deserves 10!!! -

I found the house that I love and that alone is worth five stars. As a first-time home buyer, Gary took me through all of the steps and had great patience with me. When it was necessary, it felt like I had an entire team behind me with Gary, Jody, and Jeff that had my best interests in mind.Again, five stars, Gary helped to find the house that I love over one weekend. Hes a great guy to boot. -

I highly recommend Gary Cross from Habitat Hunters if youre searching for a new place to call home! My partner and I received outstanding service and assistance in finding our new condo. The communication was excellent, and Gary was readily accessible. He was able to accommodate our busy schedule and went the extra mile in addressing all of our questions. Garys support exceeded our expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services! -

I connected with Jeff while looking at a specific rental, and he was patient and answered all of my questions, as well as went back with me to the rental a second time when I wanted to check something in the kitchen before applying for the home. I appreciated his hard work as my go between with the property management company, he helped me successfully negotiate my rent down from asking by over a hundred dollars a month. I would absolutely work with him and Habitat Hunters again! -

I am writing this review because my realtor Michelle Weaver of Habitat Hunters is by far the best realtor I have ever ran across. She takes her time out to learn her client. She listens to my needs and she finds exactly what Im looking for. I highly recommend her to anyone. She does an excellent job. If I can rate her 5 out of 10 stars I will rate her at 20 stars . Great job! Michelle -

I was in a situation where I had less than 30 days to find a place. I was unsuccessful trying this on my own. I decided to contact Habitat Hunters, and was connected with a Realtor named Gary Cross. This guy was most definitely a God sent. He was very pleasant, a cut to the chase type of guy and ready to get to business. Although 30 days was cutting it close, and Im sure he had plenty of others to work with, he always made me feel like there was hope and my family was a priority. Gary found us a beautiful home, in a great neighborhood. My family was so relieved and we felt so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Gary. He most definitely will be our go to next go around. Have to love this guy! Thank you so much Gary!!!! -

Marnie Kempf is an amazing agent. She truly takes the time to really understand her clients needs and works in their best interest. She is knowledgeable, extremely hard work and truly cares. I appreciate everything she has done for me and would recommend her to anyone! I look forward to working with her again the future. -
Review 22 (2022-01-24 - Rating: 5)
Our experience with Marni amazing. We initially connected with her to find a home to rent and when we found a place we thought we might be interested in purchasing she was very attentive and resourceful to getting all the information we needed to make a decision was best for us. She is very well connected in the Austin area to make sure all the expected and unexpected situations that come up during this time are as painless as possible. She had a great demeanor and knew how to manage all parties of the home buying experience very well. She even did more than she needed to with buying parts for our closet that really should have been done by the sellers. As new Austinites, Marni provided us a very warm welcome to our new city and we are excited to share her with our friends that are interested in moving here and we will certainly be working with her again on our next move! -
Review 23 (2023-09-08 - Rating: 5)
I filled out contact forms of realtors and emailed realtors and the most responsive realtor, not to mention the first and quickest to respond was Bryan Ritter of Habitat Hunters. Unlike any other realtor Ive worked with to-date, he always considered our specific concerns and preferences and even did extra research based on our concerns about property management companies and whether or not certain homes would be in the shade at the hottest time of the day, to name a couple. So Id say hes more attentive and responsive (in our preferred modes of communication) than others weve worked with before. It could be that many realtors prefer to work with customers that are looking to buy rather than rent, but I might not be the best resource for that. If youre looking to rent a home, Habitat Hunters will not treat you differently than those looking to buy. Id recommend Habitat Hunters and would go to them again if I ever need a new rental home in the future. We found our home very quickly! I was impressed. -

Sheila Oettel was wonderful! She helped me to find the right place to live. She was patient and understanding about the fact that I had a very negative experience at my former complex and needed to be sure that I found a good place to live this time. She was professional, kind, patient, knowledgable and delightful! -
Review 25 (2022-11-14 - Rating: 5)
Marni is the best! My experience in finding a new home in Texas was 100% glitch free because of her years of experience in the business. Marni took the time to get to know me very well. She knew what I was looking for and what I was willing to compromise. Marni went out of her way for me which is very rare these days. Integrity: being trustworthy enough to entrust her with picking a home in my absence. Responsiveness: knowing I could count on her in the middle of the process and bounce a new idea in the middle of the process. Marni was very patient with me during this process. -

Habitat Hunters! Amazing! Exceptional! I relocated for a job, and was referred to Habitat Hunters. I knew absolutely nothing about Austin at the time. Jody, one of the owners, listened to my needs for housing, and found me a great place to rent as I desired. The location was exactly what I needed...close to work and entertainment. The affordable apartment she located for me was perfect in meeting those needs.Additionally, Jody recognized, I needed more! She personally, showed me around the town for shopping, entertainment, and restaurants. Jody, really turned the key for me and opened the door when I moved to Austin. She made the Austin experience amazing for me making the relocation transition just that much easier. Years later I was ready to invest in a home or condo. Again, she was familiar with my needs, style and my budget from the previous search for a place to live. We discussed in more detail and started the search process. The Austin housing market is hot, and the market is not easy to negotiate. She did it again! She found my perfect habitat. She did so relentlessly.Please take the time to consider Habitat Hunters and speak with her or her team in helping you make the best decisions for housing in Austin. She has lived here many years. She knows the area well, and she will add many personal touches as she did for me, someone completely new to Austin, and the housing market here. She and her team are truly outstanding, and they made all the difference to me! -

Jody Lockshin and her team at Habitat Hunters provide excellent, personal, and highly professional service. As a landlord, I had Jody handle two different properties and appreciated her time to answer my many questions by phone, email and even in person. Her services included touring the properties, providing data on the rental market, drafting the lease agreement, screening applicants and executing the final lease and renewals. For both properties she found excellent renters and continued to provide advice when I needed it. I have been also to her office and saw the staff interact with clients. The same professionalism and excellent service is extended to potential renters and buyer as well.Use Habitat Hunters! -

My wife and I did a house hunting trip to Austin early December and were struggling to find a house that met our requirements. We reached out to Melissa Wile for help and she quickly identified a few rental homes that would meet our expectations. It was a pleasure working with Melissa to find a rental home and we had a great experience from end to end. We are very happy with the outcome, and would highly recommend her! -

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Melissa to find a rental home during our recent move to Austin. We had an outstanding experience from end to end.

We are very happy with the outcome, and would highly recommend her and her team at Habitat Hunters! -

Habitat Hunters really came through for us. My family of four needed to move out of our East Austin house for a year-ish while we are doing an extensive remodel, and we needed a rental near our house and our kids school. We were working on our own for a while trying to find a place, and had little luck navigating the current rental market. A few realtors we met along the way offered to help us out but didnt really seem to get our needs.Then I happened upon a property leased by Habitat Hunters and was hooked up with Melissa Wile, who showed it to me and also took me over to another place she thought was fairly similar in the same area. Melissa was great. A super professional, easy going, and best of all a great listener who got our needs immediately. She was pretty honest about the ups and downs of the two places we were currently looking at, neither of which was really ideal, and after listening carefully to our needs she went back to her office and within 30 minutes had come up with a list of another seven or so places to show us the following day that had slipped our radar but fit our bill. She met me the next morning, and from that set we narrowed it down to two places that would work for us. She rushed to help us get the lease applications in, even working some on the weekend, and in the end we got a great place to stay thats in a perfect location for us and fits all the other criteria we had. She stayed with us through the process of getting the lease signed, and was super on the ball about making sure we were all situated in the end. I recommend Melissa highly! She really knows how to take care of people. -

I worked with Gary Cross from Habitat Hunters and could not have had a better experience. Gary is extremely professional, punctual, and communicates quickly and clearly. Over the course of a couple of days, Gary set me up with an MLS search that fit my needs, and helped me land an incredible rental in East Austin. He worked tirelessly throughout the process leading up to signing our lease, and consistently checked up with us since to make sure everything was working out up to move-in. Go with Gary! -

Jeff and Jody were a big help in purchasing our new home. Jeff reviewed the builders contract so we understood what we were signing and to be sure nothing critical was left out. Jodys experience helped with choosing our mortgage company and through the entire process - she was even with us at closing. Jody has a keen eye for detail and was a BIG help at our final walk through, catching everything that needed to be fixed before we signed off with the builder. Plus shes a joy to work with! -

My wife and I worked with Melissa at Habitat Hunters, first to get a rental home and then to buy our first house! She was great every step of the way, walking us through the process and answering every question we had. She was responsive at all times and during the house buying process (during a global pandemic no less) she was on call and working to make sure we got our offers in on time and with the best possible information. We credit her work for getting us our dream house during the insane Austin market. You cant go wrong with Melissa and team at Habitat Hunters! -

Marni was amazing. I was nervous about finding a place due to a low credit score, but Marni came in and made the process feel effortless. I’ve moved many times over the years, and I’ve never had an agent that could hold a candle to Marni. I felt as if I was her exclusive client throughout the process, and I am so grateful to her. I will be calling her exclusively moving forward. -

Travis was amazing at hunting down the perfect place for me and my three roommates. Not only did he find us a fantastic house, but he set us up in a beautiful neighborhood. He helped negotiate a better deal on rent, was amazing at answering any and all of our weird or normal questions, and he was pretty decent at keeping great communication throughout the process. Considering were all young, we dont have a boat ton of money, credit, etc - But Travis helped us make sure we had everything we needed to make this happen, and we really appreciate the outcome. I recommend this company to anyone, dont sleep on them! -

She was always on our team, and her wealth of experience and personality were huge assets! We just signed our lease together and really couldn’t have done it without her.

We cannot recommend Marni Kempf enough as your go-to realtor for all your real estate needs, renting or buying. She is absolutely the best we have ever had, so generous with her time and in depth with her research, so knowledgeable about the Austin area and so willing to accomodate your every need.We were new to the Austin area a year ago and we’re lucky enough to engage with Marni to find a rental. She babysat us for two weeks, accompanying us to all viewings and dedicating entire days to show us properties at the drop of a hat.A year later we were ready to buy and she accompanied us through the process again, intimately advising us every step of the way, doing thorough research on the area we were interested in and recommending third party contractors to fulfil all our needs. We are now in our dream home for a very competitive price considering the market in Austin, and it was all thanks to Marni. We are so grateful and thankful for her and cannot recommend her enough. -

Jody at Habitat Hunters had a great balance of getting us into properties quickly in a hot market, while showing great patience with conflicting directives from me and my wife. She helped us find comparable places we liked in various neighborhoods around town -- north, south, and central -- until we finally chose an area where we wanted to focus. We are incredibly happy with our Location, Location, Location! (I decided to write this review because in addition to helping us find our happy home, Jody helps us with our annual property tax protest by sending comparable sales and giving us useful advice that has led us to successful protests. Im happy to refer her and Habitat Hunters to friends.) -

She really went above and beyond, I really cant say enough nice things about Katherine and Habitat Hunters! -

My wife and I are both Realtors, but we live out of town and listed our home with Jeff Plotkin.

Jeff Plotkin was the most helpful agent I have ever used. He was consistently there for me every step of the way. He advocated and negotiated on my behalf in a very difficult market. He customized paperwork to best protect me and reviewed paperwork from other parties so I could trust what I was agreeing to with financing, inspection, etc. He followed up on each detail so nothing fell through the cracks. Because Jeff Plotkin is not just a realtor but also an accountant and an attorney his background and credentials credentials proved to be very helpful and unique. We love our new home! Thank you Jeffrey -

I knew I didnt have to worry about a thing because he was going to get it done. I highly recommend William and Habitat Hunters to anyone searching for a new place! -

I was referred by my friend to Jeff Plotkin for investment property search in Austin. Not only I am impressed with his knowledge about the market, but he is also very objective, patience, agile, friendly and most importantly trustworthy. He is more an advisor to me than a realtor and very respectful to my decision. He guided me as if he was buying his own investment property.Plus he also has CPA and JD background! That knowledge sure comes handy in real estate transaction. And last but not least, his team in Habitat Hunters led by Jody is top notch!I have bought 3 investment properties with Jeff in the past few years and currently is working with him to find the forth one. If you need a trustworthy advisor for your investment needs, make sure you give Jeff a call!! -

Jeff Plotkin and Habitat Hunters are amazing! My family has known Jeff for several years. A former colleague of mine recommended Jeff and Habitat Hunters for real estate services. Even before we were ready to move to Austin and purchase a home, Jeff was willing to show us around to various neighborhoods and show us houses for sale while we were visiting the area.Years later, I received a job offer in Austin and contacted Jeff and Habitat Hunters for real estate services. Our family had specific housing desires (what family doesnt), and Jeff and Habitat Hunters exceeded our expectations. We lived in our Austin home for over three years.Recently, when it came time to sell our Austin home, we contacted Jeff and Habitat Hunters to put it on the market. Within a few days, we went under contract!Jeff and Habitat Hunters are top notch. My family highly recommends their real estate services for any family looking to make the Austin area their home. -

Jody is the best realtor in Austin. We were all over the map when we first started out search. Jody was more than patient. She was a partner. We found our dream home and highly recommend Habitat Hunters! -

Thank you, Jody, for managing the sale so masterfully that I got more from the sale of my home than I anticipated. And so quickly too! You showed a keen interest in us as human beings during that first search period with John and that compassionate touch extended to me individually when you helped with my own search to White House St in Manor and my decision to sell. I think that’s what makes you so successful – it’s about far more than the money for you, it’s about people. I’m very grateful for you. -

Jeff helped us out when we bought our home in Hutto recently. He was very attentive to our needs, made sure that we found what we wanted and was always on our side. With his wide range of experience and knowledge, he was able to give us excellent advice in all areas of real estate and we are so thankful we were able to work with him on this purchase. Thanks, Jeff! -

We couldn’t have chosen a better realtor in the greater Austin area! Moving from out of state has its own stresses, and buying a home sight unseen increases those. However, Melissa went above an beyond! She not only provided the most detailed showing I’ve ever been a part of, but she went above and beyond in getting us the Texas home of our dreams! She was always available, but was also extremely knowledgeable and was there for our family every single step of the way. She helped us tremendously , and took the stresses of an out of state move and purchase away. If you are searching for an agent, please stop and give Melissa a call! -

My husband and I were looking for a place to rent. We worked with Travis Saegert! He never once got annoyed at me asking to go see different places(or when I said yes, then changed my mind :)) , he was always bright and cheery, he was always willing to go where ever we wanted to go, no matter the day or time. He meet use on Christmas eve and new years day. He was amazing and anyone looking should def use him. He found us a perfect spot! Thank you and maybe our paths will cross again. -

Apartment hunting in Austin has turned into a game of who can stay on top of the new listings the best and race to get a place locked in. My roommate and I were looking for a new place to live, but for the space we needed and the price we were willing to pay, we were striking out on our own and anything we did find, was gone 2 days before we saw the listing.Jody at Habitat Hunters jumped in and found us a place in one day! Of course the process to sign the lease and get the keys took a few days to sort out, but she went to battle with the leasing agent and property manager to ensure that we got the house, despite not meeting all of the criteria the owner and management company were looking for. The house was perfect and she made it happen. She even got the pet deposit lowered for us as well.We never would have been able to do this on our own or with a lot of the other realtors out there. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and stayed on top of us to make sure we were prepared to jump through any hoops that could be thrown in front of us. Extremely proactive and always has a plan B ready if needed.Another great point is her advice on other places we looked at that she felt wouldnt work well for our needs and lifestyle, ie location, sq. ft. and neighborhoods.Thank you so much Jody! You have a great business, a great team and an amazing passion for real estate and your customers.! All of our referrals are going your way and of course, all of our real estate needs! -

Like any good college kid, my son waited til the last minute to find an apartment for the school year. We were frantic and turned to Jodi. She was helpful, patient with him and found him a great place to live. I have also asked her advice regarding other places my son has lived while a student and she was knowledgeable and reassuring. Jodi knows Austin and Austin real estate! -

My agent was Bryan Ritter. He did an exceptional job in helping me find a house to lease. He especially helped when there were issues with a house that I might not recognize but as a realtor he did. He also promptly answered any questions I had. He was also very helpful especially since it was during the stay-at-home order. -

We used Jeff Plotkin and Habitat Hunters to find an apartment a few years ago and then used them again when we decided to buy in late 2020. Jeff is always very fast at replying to any question or request for help in any way. He understands and helped manage the closing process in a very professional manner. -

We reached out on a property that we liked from the web. Unfortunately, we did not qualify for the initial residence. Fortunately, it did cause us to get in contact with Sheila. Sheila learned about us, what our needs were, and found us a great place that my wife and I now call home. She presented options and did not push anything on us. More realtors should be like Sheila. We will be sure to reach out to her again once we look for a permanent residence. -

Jeff was great! We are from upstate New York and managed to find the perfect place to purchase... Mostly because of his patience and willingness to do FaceTime viewings... And answer ALL of our many questions. It was not an easy process but other than a couple early visits, we managed to do everything long distance and close on the day we needed to!!! We are so happy with the entire experience. Jeff was wonderful thru all the craziness and ended up being a good friend we could rely on! -
