We wanted to thank our amazing Realtor™ Christine Chau with Texas Urban Realty and Property Management who walked us through such a seamless home buying process (in the most unpredictable and uncertain times of this pandemic)! From setting up FaceTime virtual tours, to providing clutch referrals and surprising us with such thoughtful “house-warming” gifts, you’ve really surpassed our expectations in every regard. We are so thankful for you!

Christine Chau has been a great help in getting my first home! ... She has been patient and very responsive in communication with me as well as other 3rd parties, such as my lender, seller, etc. She had my best interest in mind whenever I asked of her opinion on the state of the house, as well as neighborhood assessment. She isn’t the type of Realtor™ that just wants to finish the transaction as quickly as possible. She will keep working with you until you are happy. ... I can definitely recommend Christine with high regards.

"I really enjoyed working with Christine as she made the first-time home buying process simple and stress-free. I was looking for a property in North Austin and she was responsive and available at all hours to any questions I had. She was very informative and helped walk me through each step of the process. I appreciated her guidance and experience, and with her help I was able to quickly close on a house."

We found Christine to be friendly, warm, knowledgeable, professional, and very capable and efficient to help us buy 3 Austin properties within 45 days of our 1031 exchange. Furthermore, half of our units from the purchases were vacant. Christine then took charge to renovate these units and rented them out within a month of availability. We are out-of-state investors, and we are lucky to have a truly professional Realtor™ and property manager to overlook our properties.
