Rhonda Durrill - Testimonials

She instantly feels like a friend—trustworthy, patient, and unbelievably knowledgeable.

She made the entire process feel exciting instead of overwhelming! If you want someone who knows the ins and outs, advocates for you, and genuinely cares, Rhonda is your person. We can’t wait to work with her again someday!

Rhonda has served as our realtor for several transactions, in strong markets and weak markets, and she serves in-town transactions and out-of-state moves with equal excellence. Rhonda scores the highest marks on all of the dimensions that matter as a realtor: knowledge of the market, insight into trends at a neighborhood level, guidance and direction on pricing and contract negotiations, flexibility in strategies, knowledge of key watch-outs and red flags, and ease to work with (ultra attentive, responsive, prompt, professional, and pleasant). With Rhonda, we have always walked away maximizing profit when selling, and minimizing cost when buying. She knows the strategies to use to make the best transactions, and can adapt quickly as conditions dictate. There may be other effective realtor alternatives, but none can beat Rhonda on all of the dimensions shared above. Make Rhonda your real estate professional - you will be glad you did.

I'm so grateful our friend recommended her because she exceeded all of our expectations. Rhonda is willing to help in any way, always on top of paperwork, punctual, and very knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to help us find the home of our dreams. 4 years later, we have come full circle. We called on the person who made our home buying experience so enjoyable to sell our beautiful home so that we could relocate once again. Rhonda was prepared the day she visited with comps, recommendations, a videographer/photographer scheduled, and we were listed within a week. Even better, she sold our home in just over 30 days!!! You won't find anyone better than Rhonda...look no further!

8 years ago, Rhonda was highly recommended to me by my nephew, who had bought and sold a couple of properties already using her expertise. Rhonda helped me purchase a home in Round Rock for me and my kids when we were relocating back to Texas from Colorado. She took the time to understand my specific needs and preferences, ensuring that she only presented properties that aligned perfectly with what I was looking for. Her insights and guidance were invaluable, helping me navigate the complexities of the market with confidence. When it was time to sell my home, I knew immediately the first person to call. I currently live in Dallas, so selling from a distance I knew I needed someone I could trust. From the moment I enlisted her help to sell my property, I knew I was in excellent hands. Rhonda gave me excellent advice on the repairs and improvements I needed to make to maximize value, as she understands what buyers want in today's market. Her advice really paid off, the improvements I made boosted the value of the home and we were under contract with two offers within a week! I couldn’t have asked for better results. In addition to her professional prowess, Rhonda is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her friendly demeanor, positive attitude, and genuine care for her clients make her a standout in the industry. Buying and selling a home can be a stressful experience, but Rhonda made it a breeze. I cannot recommend Rhonda highly enough as a real estate agent.

Thank you, Rhonda, for going above and beyond on our latest journey to sell my home!

Wish I could give 100 stars. Rhonda is a consummate professional. My wife and I were first time home buyers and had significant distress about moving to Austin but Rhonda guided us through the entire process. She has an exceptional skill of giving realistic expectations while keeping our spirits and hope alive. She was a rock and through her actions we felt a sense of security that everything would work out. I thank Rhonda for making the experience as stress free as possible. She always advocated for us and acted in our best interest at all times. She went way way way above the standard. Her years of expertise is apparent when working with her. I will only use Rhonda from here on out and always recommend her services to anyone moving to Austin!

Despite going in knowing next to nothing about home buying, inspections, insurance, or any of the rest, the entire purchasing timeline was seamless because of Rhonda.

She is very detailed oriented and knows what needs to be done to sell your home. She handles all the little things and the big things very professionally. Rhonda always returned our calls, text messages and e-mails very promptly, even if they were not that important. She helps things run smoothly, even if there are major bumps in the road. Her negotiation skills are truly excellent! We had two offers on the same day, and Rhonda got what we wanted in the negotiation for the right contract. We also enjoyed Rhonda's great sense of humor and keeping things light in the moments of stress! We highly recommend Rhonda as a realtor, she is very personable and knows her stuff!

The transaction was made more challenging as we relocated from Austin, Texas to the UK and Rhonda managed the whole process in our absence. She went way above and beyond what you would expect from a typical realtor and I hope that as a result of our business relationship my wife and I have established a long lasting friendship. I would strongly recommend Rhonda if anyone is seeking a proactive and responsive realtor.

We were moving to Texas, and we had a very limited amount of time to see homes and make an offer. She went above and beyond to help us find what we wanted, and we were able to find what we were looking for and more. We could not be happier with Rhonda from beginning to close.

Exceptional! When you are selling your home, smart pricing is paramount – can't be too low or too high. Rhonda's methodical approach to pricing was based on data, analytics and deep market knowledge that sees beyond the face value of what is on paper. She considers every facet – both good and bad – of your home. However, Rhonda's greatest strength is her tactful candor. She is a consummate professional, and she will tell you need to hear, not necessarily what you wish to hear. Therefore, as a seller, you go into the process fully informed and can base your decisions on reality, not wishful thinking.

She is highly professional and responsive to all communications. For first-time buyers, she was incredible at explaining every step and making sure everything was taken care of behind the scenes. She gives honest opinions about homes and points out anything that might come up on inspections that she sees on tours. She looked out for our specific home interests and sent us prospects frequently via email. She treated us like family, and I trust her judgement and professional abilities. We could not have asked for a better experience, definitely recommend her to any home buyers!

She outlined clear expectations during our first meeting and continued to communicate very actively throughout the process. Both my husband and I were impressed with how smoothly everything went. Rhonda knows the Steiner Ranch market really well. We would definitely recommend Rhonda to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in Austin.

We bought a house in Austin, TX while living in Los Angeles and handled the entire transaction over emails and phone calls until we arrived in Austin. Rhonda was very professional, knowledgeable and timely regarding the entire transaction. I would recommend Rhonda to anyone looking for a professional friendly realtor!!! I even referred her to my parents who are purchasing a home in Austin as well!

Working with Rhonda felt like working with a close relative, someone you just naturally trusted, who spoke frankly and directly, but who also listened well. Rhonda was always available to bounce ideas and concerns off of, quick to leverage her experience through many cycles to advise us. We always had a sense of next steps and options as we navigated the market together. We're a DIY and hands-on family when it comes to our home. Rhonda always felt like our partner, but Rhonda clearly owned the sale; that's what we expected and she delivered. As stressful as making that scale of financial move in a tough market was, we always felt calm confidence from and in Rhonda and can genuinely say it was a pleasant experience. We strongly recommend Rhonda.

She goes above and beyond to make her clients happy. We were more than pleased working with her.

We made the minor updates and and accepted an offer within 5 days of hitting the market. The closing was seamless and accomplished within 30 days. During the entire process, Rhonda was accessible, professional, and responsive. We highly recommend Rhonda for your real estate needs!

She was professional, warm, and beyond helpful. Rhonda made the process as easy as possible as we did not live in town. It was such a pleasure working with her. Highly recommend!

While everyone selling a home has their own set of challenges, our situation was especially difficult in that we were selling a home from another state – 1200 miles away!
