Bob & Michaela Hachtel

When we were ready to buy a house, we did not have a realtor. We went online and found a house that we liked, we were asked if we would like to see the house - we clicked a button and Bob responded. We set up an appointment to meet with Bob and look at the house. He drove all the way from South Austin and in his usual friendly manner showed us the house. We loved the house and asked Bob if he could represent us and we are so grateful that he did. He was so helpful throughout the financing process and was there when we closed. He stays in touch and has helped us when we protested our property taxes. We highly recommend him.

My spouse and I embarked on an out-of-state move during the pandemic during the height of the housing craze in Austin. Michaela’s knowledge of the situation and ability to navigate us in the right direction never failed to astound me. She went out of her way at every turn to give us updates and advice and even video chat to show us homes. She was patient and a pleasure to work with. Because we were moving from Oregon and coordinating the selling of our home before buying in Austin, the timing and coordination were even more tricky. An unseasoned agent would have dropped the ball at some point, but not Michaela. She was with us at every turn. We ended up in a house we love, and this might sound like hyperbole, but we say at least once every few months that Michaela did us a solid in helping us find our home. We will forever be grateful for her help.

I highly recommend Michaela at Record Realty. She found my perfect house 14 years ago when I first moved to Austin. She listened to all my requests and delivered. So, when I was ready to sell, I called her again. Sure enough, she listened to my needs and addressed all my concerns. That first weekend on the market a couple made an offer. The whole process was smooth and easy thanks to Michaela's expertise and attention to detail. I love and highly respect her.

I’ve had three experiences with Bob over the last 6 years. Sell, buy, sell. Bob knows what he is doing. I knew he truly had my best interest in mind. He helped me make the right decisions but at the same time provided me all the information to make my own decisions. He is not pushy at all, and he will get you what you want. I am happy to see Bob and Micaela venture into their own company. Watch out, Austin! Record Realty is coming for you!!!

I've bought 3 houses and sold 3 more with Bob over the last 10 years and there's no realtor I've ever met who's more honest or trustworthy. When buying, he's thorough with pros and cons for the houses you're looking at, insightful about potential areas, and sniffs out bad flips and other hidden damage like a blood hound. When selling, he sets realistic expectations, is more than willing to help do some footwork for getting it listed, and is one heck of a negotiator. You won't regret trusting Record Realty with your housing needs.
