We worked with Ross Ponder to buy our first home this year. My husband wanted an experienced realtor who could help us find a great home at a great price. I was looking for someone who would provide emotional support during the stressful process of purchasing a home. We got everything we needed and more from Ross, considering that COVID hit right in the middle of our search.

Ross talked us down from several panic attacks and ultimately found us a home that is so much more than we thought we would find and which still suited our budget. He really went to bat for us when developing our offer. Ross' expertise in negotiations and his experience with the Austin market ensured we got our home at a price we were comfortable with while still beating other offers. We really enjoyed working with him."

Ross was simply fantastic to work with. I really appreciate his responsiveness and guidance throughout the process. While we don't hope to move anytime again soon, we'd definitely work with him again and would be happy to be a reference for him in the future if needed."

Trey M., Austin TX

Our experience with Ross has been commendable. He has been extremely patient and professional and kept us well informed during the house-hunting process, especially when working remotely from Chicago. The buying process was seamless with highly professional guidance from Ross. I'm sure we will continue to leverage his expertise and services in future dealings.

Our transition from Chicago to Austin was smooth on the front-end house hunting and buying process. In addition, Ross made our closing process seamless, especially when we had no lawyer involved in dealing with the title company and sellers. Without hesitation, Ross has been one of the best and we would recommend him to anyone.”

As first-time homebuyers we needed an agent who could guide us through each step of the process – from prioritizing our needs to closing. Ross' consultative approach and excellent communication skills kept our spirits and confidence high along the way. We benefited from his local industry expertise in the form of recommendations for the various services we needed, though he never pressured us to use them.

Ross is highly organized. This was important to us as we were working on a short timeline and could not afford to miss a step. He kept us informed of where we stood in each stage of the process and how to be prepared for the next. Even weeks after closing, he made sure we filled out our homestead exemption paperwork on time. By keeping our interests as his top priority, Ross has earned our trust and our highest recommendation."
