Tyler Payne

Justin was a pleasure to work with when searching for a new home in Central Texas. It was a big move for us as we were changing communities, careers, and schools. We felt heard and respected every step of the way and Justin was very open and transparent about all of our needs. He asked questions on our behalf that we may not have considered ourselves and genuinely put our best interest at the forefront of every conversation. Not only does Justin work with integrity and honesty, he has a deep knowledge about the area and the culture that embodies Central Texas. Our family trusted Justin and his team with one of the biggest decisions of our lives - and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Justin Cofield was an absolute lifesaver for my fiancé and I during our search for a rental home! We were starting to lose hope of finding a house within our price range, but Justin came through for us. His professionalism, dedication and knowledge of his job made the entire process so much easier, and we couldn't be more grateful for his help. When we are ready to buy a house in Austin, Justin will absolutely be our first call!

Justin did a fantastic job with us. He located houses and property, set up times to view them, kept a watch on possible problems such as roof, soil, near by houses, power lines etc., he was timely, knowledgeable about the different areas and legal issues such as taxes. He was articulate, relaxed, patient, sensitive. He is also a lot of fun. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.
