We worked with Craig Smyser for our relocation within Austin and he is fantastic. His knowledge about the market and the neighborhood we selected in conjunction with his negotiation approach gave us confidence in our decisions along the way. There was never any pressure from Craig to make or accept an offer. Instead, he provided sound advice and asked us questions about our needs to help us find the best home for our family. Hes very responsive and everything was smooth. I would absolutely work with him again.

We were wanting to relocate to northwest Austin and needed a realtor. One of my son’s friends recommended Craig Smyser with FIV Realty. We hit the jackpot with him. Craig located a wonderful home in Apache Shores and helped us start and complete ownership of the property. We highly recommend using Craig Smyser with FIV Realty if you are looking for property in Austin.

We are extremely grateful for his outstanding service and look forward to working with him again in the future.

We had an excellent experience working with Craig Smyser of 1835 Realty to sell our home in Steiner Ranch, Austin, and we would highly recommend him if you’re looking to buy or sell a property.We were listing in a very tough market, and we were also remote, but Craig took care of literally everything for us. His in-depth knowledge of the local markets and his vast network of local connections were invaluable during the entire process.He guided us and kept us well informed all the way through the close of escrow, which also happened remotely. Craig is the most professional and patient realtor we have ever worked with, and we hugely appreciate everything he did for us.We cannot recommend him enough!

Craig was great to work with. Professional and knowledgeable, positive and thorough in every aspect of his work. He made our out of state purchase extremely seamless. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a seamless and thorough realtor on their side.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Craig Smyser in purchasing our very first home in Georgetown. We have had bad experiences with previous realtors, so it was refreshing working with Craig. He was very knowledgeable about the houses and neighborhoods we were interested in, walked us through the process step-by-step, was transparent, and communicative. He spent the time discussing the inspection report and did a great job negotiating with the sellers on our behalf. We highly recommend using Craig for your house search!Thanks for everything Craig!Ben and Antonia

As a mortgage loan originator, I had the pleasure of working with Craig Smyser for a first-time homebuyers conventional loan closing.

Craig Smyser was amazing! He was suggested to us by our lender and we are so happy they did. His knowledge and experience is so valuable and he clearly explained everything making the first time home buying process go smoothly with little stress. He kept us on track and the communication was great! It was a pleasure to work with Craig and highly recommend him! We love our new home on Lago Vista.

We had an excellent experience selling our house with Craig and his team. Professional services all around. The team worked with us during the listing period, even though we were still living in the house and made the entire process easier to live with. His connection to the market is incredible, he understands the value of homes, and will give you an honest market value. He is fully dedicated and you can bet that if there is anyone to get your home sold, he is the person to do it! The entire process was as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Craig and his team at 1835 Realty.

Review 11 (2023-05-18 - Rating: 5)
I couldnt be more appreciative of Craig Smyser and 1835 reality. Craig truly cares about not only about clients but everyone he encounters and deals with. There are plenty of realtors out there that can find or sell a house, but there are very few who take their own personal time to assist with all the things that come with real estate purchases. Craig wants others to not just own a home but to live in that home comfortably and with peace of mind. Hes taken time on multiple occasions to help us out with really difficult issues regarding our home and property taxes as well. Its a home he didnt even help us purchase. Hes the type of person thats willing to help make a positive difference in the community around him just because he has the ability. I highly recommend when you look into buying or selling homes you talk to Craig first. I guarantee you will not need to talk to anyone else, I know we wont. Thank you Craig, for caring enough about the people around you to use your knowledge to help them through tough times.

Craig Smyser of 1835 Realty - Austin Realty is a great realtor and I highly recommend him. My wife and I used Craig to purchase our house in Steiner Ranch in Austin, Texas and found him to be a step ahead of all realtors we had ever used. He checked off all the requirements that we had of our realtor. Craig is honest, had our best interest in mind. He is very experienced and knows Steiner Ranch very well since he lives in the development and is very active in the community. He knows the housing market and creates a monthly market report that predicted the change in the housing market very accurately. He is patient, informative, and provided us with great guidance throughout the whole process. Did I leave off anything? If I did it’s because he did it so well that we didn’t even notice.

Craig was our listing agent to sell our home in Austin. He is incredibly knowledgeable about real estate and a pleasure to work with. During the entire process, Craig was very responsive and professional. He guided us through each step, from getting the house ready for market to every detail of the contract and to the closing process. He answered all our questions clearly. His expertise is invaluable. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, even when we thought we might be stranded in an airport on our move-out date. We would recommend Craig to anyone who is buying or selling a home in Austin.

Review 14 (2024-02-11 - Rating: 5)
Craig was incredible helping us through the process of buying our first home. We met when we were looking for an agent to represent us as we placed an offer on a home we found online. That turned out to be a terrible idea, Craig and the inspector saved us from heartache, time and effort we weren’t prepared for. We kept looking together and eventually found a home that made me wonder why I’d ever been excited about anything else. The entire process went seamlessly, between writing up an appealing offer, discussions with the lender, and contract amendments with the seller, we were able to close in around 3 weeks. Can’t express my gratitude enough for his tremendous support, guidance and education in this landmark moment of our lives. There is no one I’d trust more to have in our corner for future real estate transactions.

Craig is the realtor to go to if you are looking to buy or sell a property in the greater Austin area.Craig helped my husband and me find our first rental property in Austin. He was referred to by our realtor back in California.He is really the perfect realtor: responsive, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and very hard working!Craig responded to me within an hour after I sent him the first email, he then initiated a call to understand what we were looking for as investors. We then flew to Austin and Craig spent a day with us educating us about the market, and taking us to see multiple homes in different areas. It really helped us to get some ideas on what the areas were like.During the process, Craig gave very good suggestions on what terms to make on the offers (given the market was very hot and moving up very fast). He then very quickly helped us win a property!Craig also knows how to protect his clients and I feel that I can put my trust in him 100%!There were a few hiccups during the process (the snow storm in Texas, and problem with the appraisal), and Craig helped us resolved these issues. The whole process was very easy and smooth on our end because Craig handled all these very well.The lender, insurance Craig recommends are also very high quality.Overall, I feel very blessed that we met Craig and he helped us close on a house so quickly in such a hot market condition.

I would recommend working with Craig Smyser 100 times over. He helped my fiancé and I tremendously as first-time homebuyers, helping to explain every step of the process, explain documents, and pointing out things to note in each of the houses that we toured and what things were signs of (for example: foundation damage, wood rot, etc). We felt that we were very well taken care of. Thanks to Craig, we found and closed on a beautiful house just minutes away from downtown Round Rock.Again, I would highly recommend working with Craig!

We knew about Craig, because of all the things he does for our Steiner community, so when we decided to sell our home it was obvious that Craig was the best choice. Craig made everything seem so seamless and quick. He guided us on what to do in order for our home to sell and sell it did, much quicker than we anticipated. Craig is a wealth of information, whether you are selling or buying I highly recommend Craig and his team of experts.

Review 18 (2020-09-29 - Rating: 5)
We had such a wonderful experience working with Craig! He took us out to explore Austin a whole year before we were ready to buy and his knowledge of the area and housing market was very impressive. We appreciated him devoting the time to making sure we got what we wanted, and his patience in helping us with our ongoing list of questions. Craig is an excellent Realtor and an all around stand up guy. We can not recommend Craig enough!

Review 19 (2021-03-11 - Rating: 5)
When offered the opportunity to relocate to Austin for work, we started to investigate the city and stumbled across Craigs Discover Austin YouTube Channel (also gets a 5 star review from us). When we decided to make the move, we reached out to Craig for help securing a rental property. I believe a lot of realtors would have brushed off out-of-state renters, but Craig was willing and able to help us out. Craig visited several properties for us and gave us narrated, virtual tours. We moved into a rental we were comfortable with and happy with, sight unseen. Months later, we reached back out to Craig without hesitation to help us with our new home construction search. He was patient with us while we staked out the best property, was incredibly knowledgeable of the neighborhoods we were interested in, and extremely reliable. We locked into a house purchase and he was with us the whole way. Always punctual for appointments, eager to assist with builder negotiations, and a great source of advice for the multitude of decisions made along the way. We couldnt be happier with Craig. We would use him again in a heartbeat and will recommend him to all our friends. A true professional and a tremendous realtor!

Craig is a consummate professional. He was very knowledgeable in our market and paid attention to the details of our transaction. We always felt like Craig had our best interest in mind. When things got contentious with the buyers and their agent he handled it expertly. As an attorney I truly appreciate the representative skills of those that are handling my transactions so that I do not personally have to get involved. Craig did a tremendous job for us and sold our house in two weeks. I was especially impressed with his pre-listing marketing efforts. I am sure that is what sold our house so quickly.

We closed on our house sale yesterday with Craig Smyser at 1835 Realty – Austin Realty. Our experience with Craig and his staff was wonderful. We highly recommend and endorse Craig Smyser at 1835 Realty.Originally we reached out to Craig as he is a Ramsey Endorsed Local Provider. His professional expertise and caring personality guided us through the entire process. Craig and his staff answered every question that we had with immediate responses. Their use and understanding of web technology allowed us to sign all documents electronically. The website photos of our home were incredible and included arial photos of our home and Lake Austin taken with a camera drone.

We bought a house from Craig 8 years ago and he still keeps in touch with us to check in! He was a wonderful realtor, patiently taking us to house after house, giving advice, and never pressuring us to make a decision. All the while, he made sure we were informed on things we may not have noticed or knew to look for in a house or location. When we are ever ready to buy again, he will be the first person we reach out to!

Review 23 (2021-05-24 - Rating: 5)
Craig Smyser is very knowledgeable of the rules and regulations governing the real estate business, and his familiarity with the Austin market is invaluable when buying or selling a home. He helped me understand the process working with me to overcome any obstacles. He is a very honest and ethical man in his business dealings. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Craig Smyser was a pleasure to work with. If you are buying or selling real estate in Austin, TX., I would call Craig!

Review 25 (2021-06-06 - Rating: 5)
Craig was fantastic throughout the process. He was fast, efficient and communicated exactly the right amount of detail. He was very good about communicating all the necessary details, but always able to come back to the big picture with a formulated strategy on how to best proceed. I took his advice on every point in the process and we closed quickly. I found Craig to have an excellent and impressive command of his trade and the local area. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a realtor.

Review 26 (2020-11-13 - Rating: 5)
Craig was fantastic. We found him through the Dave Ramsey ELP program, and he lived up to the title extraordinarily. My wife and I did read several books, but still didn’t know everything as we purchased our first house. Craig was patient and understanding despite all of our newbie questions. I think all in all, Craig took us to about 10 different homes, and was willing to show us homes at almost the drop of a hat, because as you may know, this market here in Austin area is crazy. He was definitely there to serve and did a phenomenal job at that. He likewise exemplifies having the heart of a teacher and is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the market itself. I would hands down work with Craig again at the drop of a hat, and would recommend him bar none. All of this in the middle of a pandemic! Thank you Craig!

Review 27 (2020-09-06 - Rating: 5)
We enlisted 1835 Realty to help us sell our condo under very unusual and difficult circumstances, and Craig’s expertise is the reason we had a successful outcome.Craig is an excellent relator—he is well-established and truly understands the Austin real estate market. He is responsive and communicates clearly. In addition, Craig provides nice perks like staging consultations and the use of a moving van. His unique “Discovery Austin” video series on YouTube is a great way to learn about local life in the Capital City.However, his comprehensive knowledge of the law—HOA, property, tax and probate—sets him above others in his field. The sale of our condo was hindered by an unusual legal issue that posed a problem for all sellers in the community. The HOA board did not even recognize the issue until Craig brought it to light; but he successfully guided us through the complexities of the law and worked to identify solutions.Then came Covid-19. Despite the setbacks created by the pandemic, Craig was able to negotiate a great price for our home and we closed in a short timeframe. If you need one more reason to work with Craig, he is extremely ethical and always acts in the best interest of his clients. We highly recommend Craig to anyone wishing to buy or sell a home in the Austin area, and even more so if your purchase or sale is complicated by a legal issue.

Craig was great! He always responded to my texts and calls very quickly and helped me navigate buying my first home. He made me aware of things that I probably wouldnt have thought of that definitely helped me decide what was important to me. He was also willing to travel to my place of work to collect or drop things off, which was super helpful! In addition, since I bought my home 6 years ago, I can always count on Craig to answer any questions I have about taxes, etc., as well as deliver delicious goodies on holidays :) I have truly never had a client-realtor relationship quite like this--you can tell he truly cares about his clients and wants to maintain relationships beyond the buying-selling process!

Review 29 (2021-07-29 - Rating: 5)
Craig was a DREAM working with with buying our first home! Incredibly communicative and fast to respond with any questions we had! He was available all hours. He even taught us some stuff to look out for with being first time home buyers. When it was time to buy our house we had an issue with an appraiser not getting back to us which was causing our closing date to get pushed back.The appraiser was also undervaluing the home. Without hesitation, we didnt even have to ask, Craig already reached out to the appraiser telling them to fix the issues. We will be using him for future homes! Thanks Craig!

I highly recommend Craig! My husband and I were searching for a home in Austin from across the country, during a pandemic, and couldnt have done it without Craigs extensive knowledge of the area and his easy-going, but professional attitude. There were several roadblocks that we encountered when making our decision to move to Austin, and Craigs perspective and advice was invaluable to us during the process. We truly believe that he cares about his clients and thinks of their best interests most of all.

Craig Smyser with 1835 Reality was professional, incredibly easy to work with, and just a down to earth honest person. He was recommended to us by a friend as The Guy to sell a house in Austin / Steiner Ranch...and he did!! All through the selling process we felt like Craig had our backs and represented us no matter the situation. We have bought and sold many houses and have not always felt that way with a realtor. His easy demeanor gave us confidence that he would sell our home for asking or above and in an expedient manner...and he did!His stager was a delight and in a short meeting showed us ways to enhance the showing of our home. We embraced her suggestions totally and it worked!!Now days with so much interest is generated through internet browsing over a multiple of sites that it is imperative that photographs be professional, exceptionally well done and a cut above the competition. The photographs Craig had done were breathtaking, amazing, and certainly eye grabbers. The hard bound book he presented to potential buyers during the weekend showing was worthy of a Barnes and Noble book shelf. It was so tastefully done we kept a couple of copies for posterity. It all made us a little sorrowful that we were selling such a beautiful home..:)Would I hire or recommend Craig Smyser again? Absolutely.......no question about it.....he is honest, down to earth, and very easy to work with.....he makes what can be a drama filled experience...enjoyably and painless.....:)

Review 33 (2020-03-07 - Rating: 5)
What I love about Craig is his patience. Home buyers can be a crazy, fickle bunch - always changing their minds at the last minute - but Craig just listens and writes down what you want ( or don’t want) and makes adjustments accordingly. He knows the Austin and surrounding areas like the back of his hand and always seemed to have another option up his sleeve. During the purchase of my home he asked the builder all the right questions ( and several I never would have thought of). He’s very knowledgeable of the local tax rates and advises you on what your long term costs could be - not just what today’s purchase price will be. Working with Craig was, by far, my easiest home-buying experience and I HIGHLY recommend him!

Review 34 (2023-01-27 - Rating: 5)
Craig had our home sold in less than a week. He is simply a Hall of Fame Realtor. He helped us prepare our home, provided a super book with pictures of our home, and was always available when we needed him. So, if you would like to sell your home in Pflugerville, give Craig Smyser a call.

Review 35 (2020-06-18 - Rating: 5)
We were first time home buyer in need of a home before our apartment lease expired in a month. We found Craig from a referral of a friends real estate agent from another part of Texas.We also found out more about Austin through his youtube channel Discover Austin with Craig Smyser which he showed several well-known locations, restaurants, etc. of Austin and nearby cities as well as Texas cultures. This is a great channel!!!Craig was very a great listener and professional. He always spent time listening to our lengthy needs, provided us with valuable inside information while trying to maintain his neutral opinion to help us making our own informative decisions. He provided us with an online portal service in which we can favorite several homes for him to do more research about the house conditions and whether or not it was a right fit for us or not. For example, we like a house with backyard not facing the road. There are certain houses we love but did not realize it until he pointed out. This saved us from spending time visiting those houses.Craig was detail-oriented and punctual. He always arrived 5 mins ahead of our tour time with an information sheet for each house in the correct order for easy way to remember it later on. This might not be a big deal if you only see 1-2 houses a day but if you see 7-8 of them on the same day, it is a good way to help you recall the details of the houses for an informative decisions later on.Craig provides great value for first time home buyer. He will rent you his own van for free so you can move stuffs to your new home. It is both a great money saver and convenient option for you during this stressful situation. He also provides a love it or leave it option. He can help you sell your < 1 year old house free of charge if you decide it is not for you after leaving in it for a few months. It might save you some money if you get stuck in a money pit home. Obviously, you must use him as your agent for your next home purchase and still have to pay the fee for the buyers agent.Overall, we love Craig and his service. We would definitely come back to him for our future home purchases.

What separates Craig Smyser from other realtors is his knowledge of the industry and the local area. We sold our house in Steiner Ranch with the help of Craig, and he EXCEEDED our expectations throughout the whole process.

Craig is knowledgeable, patient and professional. He took the time to listen to what are needs were. He never pushed us to make an offer or consider a house that didnt fit our needs. He looked with us for months yet the assistance was as fresh as if we were brand new clients. From the house hunting to the closing, he walked us through each step and always had our best interest at heart.

Review 39 (2020-03-05 - Rating: 5)
Could not have been happier with Craig’s guidance as a real estate agent. Will recommend him to anyone moving into or out of the Austin, TX area. It was surprising at first at how much he knew about the market, and then also about the buying process. You won’t be sorry having Craig on your side.

Not only are Craigs Discover Austin videos a great source of information and insight into many of the areas hidden gems, but he is great at what he does--real estate. I used him to consult on some real estate issues and opportunities, and he gave me his honest opinion that didnt merely serve his own purposes as a real estate broker which is refreshing in todays world. He definitely has his finger on the pulse of whats happening with the market locally, and is very easy to work with.

If I could I would rate Craig a 10, he is an absolutely great real-estate agent! He helped my husband and I buy our first home and made the entire process seamless, his real-estate knowledge is impeccable. If you are looking to buy a new home give him a call, you will be glad you did!

As an East Coast resident I was surprised to receive unsolicited offers on an undeveloped property in Austin. After some research of values and realtors, I contacted Craig. From the initial contact, Craig was professional and knowledgeable. Via email and phone he led me through listing and selling the property. His effort and support were impressive. Recommended without hesitation.

Craig Smyser did an excellent job of finding us a home in the Austin area. He is prompt, courteous, and very professional. I also recommend his YouTube series “discover Austin”. I highly recommend Craig to anyone who wants to move to the Austin area- you will be in great hands!

Review 54 (2022-03-17 - Rating: 5)
Craig is a rare find in the world of Realtors. He is truly in it for the client. We looked at almost 50 homes in the course of a little more than a year. And even near the end he was pointing out problems with the homes that I was excited about and bringing up reasons why a home could be a problem. I remember my wife and I though one home was perfect and we were quick to tell Craig we wanted to put in an offer since homes were going fast in this neighborhood. I even drafted the letter for the seller. Craig researched the home and pointed out that they were planning on putting a road behind it taking away a majority of the greenbelt we were looking for. We didnt even go look at it again. Another realtor may have been exhausted by our search and would have just helped us get the home only to find out later about the road.

Craig is the best real estate agent weve ever worked with. Hes got a keen sense to the market along with taking the time to understand your needs. Craig sets the gold standard for real estate agents.

Review 56 (2020-03-04 - Rating: 5)
There are a 1000 realtors out there and many to pick from. So why Craig? Because he is the type of realtor that can roll with the punches. Yes, any ol’ realtor can sign a contract. But you don’t want any ol’ realtor. You want one that can save you a ton and fight for you for that lower price on your purchase. You want one that stays on top of the buyer of your house. You want one that if your deal starts getting a little complicated, rolls up his sleeves and gets to work. This is your biggest investment. Not just any ol’ realtor will do. You need the best of the best. And as someone who has bought more houses (and sold) than I care to remember, I can safely say that Craig is the cream of the crop. The Maserati of realtors. You won’t regret signing with him!”

Review 57 (2020-03-09 - Rating: 5)
If you’re looking for an agent who is not only hard working and professional, but also ends up being someone you will want to go to for all your real estate needs, Craig is someone you want to call. He doesn’t just help you with your needs at the time, but makes you feel like you’ve found a new friend.

He was really responsible when I bought a house. I had been looking for right house almost 6 months. When I finally found one, I could see his expertise and ability. He was perfect for being my first realtor. Since that time, he is still to contact me for any issues. Of course, I will go back to Craig next time.

Craig has thought of it all when it comes to selling your house. Very professional. He walks you through every step & very responsive to your questions. We are so happy using Craig at 1835 Realty.

Literally the best realtor I have ever dealt with. We moved from out of state and he went above and beyond to show us all of the properties. The one we ended up with we love, and couldnt recommend him more. He is extremely knowledgeable about all of Austin, building codes and pretty much anything you would need for a house in Austin (or in general). I cant recommend him enough. 5+++ stars if possible

We use Craig for all our real estate needs. Why? Because he cares about what we want and what’s going to be most advantageous for us. It’s not just a sale to him.

Craig went above and beyond by finding a home that was not listed in my price range, only $1,000 above, that ended up being the one for me.
