Description of Work: Bill Ley represented us as Realtor/Attorney during our home search and purchase. Having lived in Austin his entire life, he was invaluable with his knowledge of neighborhoods and value searching. When we finally found the home we ended up purchasing, he made himself available to us at all hours for any questions and was instrumental in helping us make sure that the many details were attended to in an orderly and efficient manner. Thanks to his expertise and guidance the house closing procedure lasted less than an hour with no problems or surprises. We highly recommend him as a no-nonsense, truly client oriented professional and hope the Angie's list review encourages people to seek out his services, though he is widely known and respected by long time Austin residents.

They are highly professional. They always called you and were always available. They were always on top of things, and you never had to go out of your way to get in contact with them.

It went pretty smoothly. I tried to bargain the sellers down $10,000, but they would only go down $5,000. The negotations stopped for two months, but then we resumed negotiations. We eventually came to terms, and the closing was easy.
Description of Work: Bill showed me numerous houses. I think that the process could have gone faster, but I needed to explain more clearly what I wanted, which was a little house in a friendly neighborhood. Eventually I found a house in Hyde Park that did not have a lot of curb appeal, but was well maintained. Bill helped negotiate the price, watched out for my interests, and got things done in a timely fashion. I'm very happy with my home.

Description of Work: Bill was able to look over a real estate agreement and quickly suggested changes to make the transaction safer and more favorable for us. He was worth every penny and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again

Couldn't have gone better. He represented us very well, with both the builder and especially the mortgage company.
Description of Work: As our agent, Bill's long experience as a lawyer and a broker was extremely useful. I've known Bill for over ten years and have always found him to be very reliable and to be a person of integrity.

Bill's qualifications as a lawyer, years of experience, and wily street smarts really helped us to understand the dynamics of the local housing market and to manage real estate contracts, negotiations between buyers and seller, and the intricacies of the MLS. It is a real advantage that he is also a lawyer, and he knew my neighborhood, which was important. It helps to have someone local, and we were very happy with him.
Description of Work: He helped us sell our house, and he also helped us to find an apartment to move into after we sold the house.
