Client Success Stories
Shellie Cleveland
Justin Cofield is a fantastic realtor and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to buy or sell a property in central Texas. He helped us sell two older homes in South Austin that had not been updated. His expertise and knowledge were critical in the timing and the pricing of the listings. He was a great negotiator and he helped us navigate every step of the process. He was also easy to work with and he answered all our many questions with patience and kindness. He is a man of integrity and it showed in all his dealings with other agents and buyers, as well as with us.

Justin did an excellent job helping my sister and I to sell not one, but 2 homes. He is so positive and supportive. Justin is very professional and knowledgeable. We felt comfortable relying on his expertise. He was a prompt communicator and I never felt “out of the loop”. I would highly recommend Justin Cofield for all of your real estate needs.

We have bought numerous homes in the last 30 years, and Justin is hands down the best real estate agent we’ve ever worked with! The first thing he did was gain a full understanding of what we were looking for in a home. He then went above and beyond in so many ways, even seeking out off market opportunities (one of which we purchased); finding answers to all our outlandish questions - sometimes before we even thought to ask; connecting us with trusted providers for all facets of the purchase; and visiting homes before we did to make sure they would meet our needs. We now understand why some buyers ask Justin to help them with real estate purchases outside the Austin area. Justin will definitely be our go to for all our real estate needs moving forward, and we highly recommend him to anyone purchasing real estate. You will not be disappointed!

Justin has been in the Real Estate world for several years now. As an Austin Realtor, he has always enjoyed looking at property, but over the years has developed an eye for seeing the possibilities in homes that need a fresh look as well as noting detail, design and value in a home. Whether it’s a new construction, an investment property, a piece of Texas Hill Country land or the sale of a cherished family home, he takes an approach that helps join the logic and emotion of Real Estate into a down to earth, relational process from beginning to end. Justin considers his clients friends and welcomes the opportunity to grab coffee and just catch up whenever he can. As a 20 year resident of Austin, Justin, his wife Jana and their 4 children enjoy being at home in their southwest Austin home, going to the Lake, eating Tex-Mex and laughing together often. Give him a call to schedule that coffee… he’d love to hang with you.
