Marathon Real Estate - Tausha Carlson

Marathon Real Estate goes the distance. As cliche as that sounds - its true. Seven and a half years ago Tausha Carlson and company gave us an introduction into Austin. As first time home buyers we were nervous to examine the details of purchasing; take on the responsibilities of owning; and tend to the nuances of a mortgage. Thankfully Marathon was there every step of the way: Answering questions; providing experienced feedback and insider tips. Fast forward to today, after just having completed the sale of our home. They haven't broken stride. Instead they've matched us every step of the way and made sure our mile split has been nothing short of our personal best. Pushing us and the sale, even with our "I can't do it" reservations, to new levels. As we finish this race, we look back and are reminded of how they've been there, coaching us along the way throughout those seven years —providing property tax alerts; exemption info; mortgage in's and out's— you name it. Point is: they are there if you need them. Thank you Marathon! You've been exceptional! We hope anyone reading this and seeking a realtor will find the same magnificent service, and know that they are in experienced and intelligent hands. We know, after everything, we are extremely grateful.

Tausha and Sabreena made buying my first home a seamless experience. Not only are they top-notch negotiators and advocates for their clients, but they also have hearts of teachers with the expertise to back it up. Even in a seller's market, their local knowledge and connections helped me find a beautiful place within my budget. They were available to answer my MANY questions and made sure every detail of my contract was correct. I especially enjoyed working with their closing coordinator--everything went off without a hitch! If you're looking to support a local business and feel taken care of every step of the way, look no farther than Tausha and her incredible team.

I met Tausha Carlson through the recommendation of a good friend. We're so very happy that we contacted her! We knew she was the right fit for us after our very first phone conversation. She is on top of her game, I trust her extensive knowledge and I like how well she communicates. She is very effective and is full of good tips. I truly enjoyed working with Tausha Carslon and Sabreena Wadhwani and the rest of her team who are all excellent. We are looking forward to buy more properties with Tausha Carlson and we highly recommend her!!

Tausha and the Marathon team were amazing in helping me find and purchase my first home. Even with a pandemic going on, they made the process smooth and easy. They were super responsive to all my questions, and took the time to explain what was happening at each step of the home buying process. I will definitely use them again if I decide to move again!

My husband and I are so impressed with Tausha Carlson and Marathon Realty. She has helped us buy two homes in recent years and it was by far the least stressful experience we’ve had buying property, especially in a market like Austin. Just this summer, we also listed a house for sale with them and got a full price offer in one week. We highly recommend Marathon Realty!

Tausha and Sabreena were fantastic to work with on the purchase of our home. They were always available for showings, with great background information on each home we saw. They saw us through the crazy, hectic bidding process with great advice and expert knowledge. They were the edge we needed in this fast-paced market, to find a great value on a home. Marathon is a top-notch agency that will go the extra mile for you, and follow up with every little detail even after the closing date.

I worked with Tausha from another state while selling a family member’s home. The process could not have been smoother from listing to closing, all during a pandemic. She went above and beyond helping to arrange service providers and attending to details during the process. Very knowledgeable, always responsive and professional, I highly recommend her for any real estate transaction.

I had a wonderful experience working with Tausha and her team. I was unfamiliar with the local housing market, but they did a great job helping us navigate the market and negotiate a successful offer. The signing and closing went smoothly and everyone was always responsive and helpful with any questions that we had.

It went FANTASTIC! My mother's home sold in 1.5 months!!!! My mother had a heart attack and other complications. As her only child and my father passing away unexpectedly prior to her heart attack - I realized that I needed my mother closer to me while still giving her independence. Tausha helped me and my family purchase our home four years ago so I called on her to help with my mom's home. Tausha and her team are professional, strategic, organized, and responsive. During this time, I needed all those things to accomplish selling my mom's home, downsizing her, and finding her a new community. Tausha's team handled the real estate so I could focus on all the "new realities" for my mom. I trust her and her team and I truly can not put a price on how much their work took the stress off of me so I could focus on my mom.

Tausha and her team were wonderful to work with. She prepared a thoughtful and comprehensive analysis of the market for our home and made a pricing recommendation we were very happy with. The house was on the market for four days, we had about fifteen showings, and received three offers above the asking price. Tausha helped us navigate these offers and negotiate the best result. The contract to escrow to closing process could not have gone smoother and the sale was closed in thirty days without a snag. We highly recommend Marathon Real Estate, Tausha, and her team.

This was our second time working with Tausha and her crew. The first time was 9 years ago looking for our first home. She was so kind and held our hand through the process, found us a quiet affordable neighborhood that we were happy in until outgrowing the home. We had no hesitations calling her up again to help us find another new neighborhood and larger home because she kept in touch all those years. It's like going with her and her team means you also have a new friend who stays in touch (in a real way). We found a house much sooner than we anticipated which caused us to put our home on the market faster than we expected. With the help of her and her team, we got it staged and on the market quick. More impressive, she sold the home and got us multiple offers in less than a week!!! We did exactly what the stager recommended and I strongly believe that had a ton to do with it. I was so stressed but should've known better to trust she knows her stuff. I'll be calling her for our next home purchase again when the time comes :)

Our experience with Tausha, Katy, and Alisa was great! We started looking for a home in October and found an amazing first home shortly thereafter. The process for viewing homes, financing and closing our home was breeze thanks to the the team at Marathon. The team at Marathon understands the Austin market extremely well and should be able to help you find a dream home, like they did for us. We would definitely use/recommend them for future purchases!

We really appreciated Tausha's knowledge of the Austin real estate market and the level of service provided by her team through multiple offers until we landed on the right place. I would highly recommend Tausha for anyone considering either a home or investment property in Austin.

I tried one agent, but she was suggesting I price it really low in order to move the property and collect her commission. Meanwhile, Tausha suggested an asking price that was $20K higher, because she had sold five units in my complex already and had a feel for what I could actually fetch. She didn't try to fear-monger, like the other agent. Tausha also laid out a marketing plan, and gave me detailed instructions on timing the staging, photoshoot, marketing materials, etc. She helped me with the negotiation, and I think we got top-dollar.

After searching Angie's List for a realtor and after reading the reviews, we contacted a couple of different realtors. Tausha was the first to respond and sent a questionnaire to narrow down our home search. After replying to the questionnaire, we met with Tausha at her office. Tausha was very personable and provided us with a wealth of useful information to navigate the real estate process. She also set up our personal website with our specific parameters. After sifting through all of the listings and visiting several homes with Katy, Tausha's assistant, we finally found the perfect home. Tausha was also instrumental during the home inspection phase as well as helping during the closing process. Tausha still remains in contact even after our closing. We were also pleasantly surprised Tausha donates a portion of her commission to charity! Tausha and Katy were very helpful guiding us through the very stressful home buying market in Austin. We would definitely recommend Tausha for any potential home buyer in the Austin area!

It was great. We just loved Tausha, the realtor. We never needed a realtor but we used a recommendation from a friend. She was great to work with. We had a really good experience with her. I would give her A across the board. I would absolutely use them in the future.

Tausha was an excellent realtor. My husband and I were first time buyers and had little idea what to expect. Tausha walked us through every step and patiently helped us make the right choice. We would highly recommend her!

Tausha has such great professionalism and patience. She handled all of our concerns with a smile and in a timely manner. Never did we have to wonder if she'd get back to us. We would gladly use her again. Actually we did as she helped us purchase a new home last year!

They were fantastic. She charged the standard real estate commission.

She did a great job. She is very thorough and personable. She helped us find a house we love. Because of her combination of being really personable and enjoyable, she was really pleasant to interact with but at the same I felt like we really trusted her on the business side of things. You want someone who is going to be really enjoyable but at the same when it comes to negotiation side and the financial side, someone who you trust. It?s sometimes hard to find someone who has those two things. She provided good value for money.

We began working with Tausha by email in October 2013 when moving from California to Austin was just a dream. Still, Tausha was very willing to provide us with her local knowledge and set us up with real estate listings to help us decide which part of the Austin area would be the best fit. Over the next 6 months, she continued to stay in touch and always asked, "What do you need from me? How can I help you right now?" When I visited Austin for job interviews, Marisa met me to go visit quite a few homes even though we knew they wouldn't be on the market by the time we actually moved to Austin. It was very helpful in giving us even greater insight into the neighborhoods and features that we wanted in our "dream home." When we finally moved to Austin in late April 2014, Tausha and Marisa were ready to spring into action from our first weekend in town. We kept them on their toes viewing listings all over the Austin area. Sometimes it was Tausha, other times Marisa took us to see homes. Marisa provided some great insight, and she did a great job filling in for Tausha when she became very ill for a couple weeks. Ultimately, we ended up in our dream home because Marisa was able to show us the home the same morning that it came on the market. Tausha and her team helped us put together a stellar offer that same afternoon, and the house was ours! May-June 2014 was an extremely competitive real estate market, but Tausha and her team at Marathon Real Estate helped us navigate the market and end up in our DREAM HOME. Thank you so much!

Tausha was great. Incredibly responsive, no nonsense. I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone looking to either buy or sell a home to her.

Tausha with Marathon Real Estate is the fourth realtor that I have used. She is by far the best! She helped me find the perfect house, and provided very valuable advice with regards to the terms of the sale. I was constantly updated about new listings, and an old listing of the house we chose was provided to me before it was even officially on the market. This enabled us to submit an offer (that was accepted) on the very first day the property was listed. Her advice throughout the whole process was exactly what you look for in a realtor. She had the best contacts for every contractor that you would need. The icing on the cake for me was her efforts in negotiating the purchase of some of the items in the house that I wanted. The existing owners were selling a very nice refrigerator, washer, dryer, elliptical machine, an outdoor couch and some other minor items. They gave us a very reasonable price of $2600. I was going to negotiate for a couple hundreds dollars off, but Tausha had them include all the items as part of the sale. A very pleasant surprise! This is an investment property for me. I probably would not have ever made a decision to move forward if Tausha had not been so good at her job. I am so glad we did. We love the house! Regards, John Bunnell

We have worked with Tausha for both selling and purchasing investment properties in the Austin area. Most recently she sold an investment property for us in NE Austin, getting 5 viable offers within the first two weeks. Tausha is a highly knowledgeable and energetic professional realtor. She knows the Austin market in detail. She has made specific recommendations to help in marketing our property. She is a frank and thorough communicator who will lead you through the complex process of both buying and selling, making those processes go as smoothly as possible. She has developed an office that is able to go above and beyond what is expected. She can help you resolve potential issues that may arise with your property by identifying reliable professional services (plumbing, roofing, electrical, etc). i will definitely ask for her help in any future purchase or sale.

Tausha was a tremendous help to me during the recent purchase of my new home. She took the time to answer my questions, she was very responsive and she worked very h****** my behalf to get me the best deal possible. As a first-time buyer, I was prone to anxiety about the process which can be very intimidating and it's easy to take a misstep - but I knew that I was in good hands with Tausha and felt much more comfortable than I would have otherwise. Even after the sale, she has continued to provide me with some great tips and useful information, particularly when it comes to making sure that I don't fall prey to merchants who try to sell me "services" that I don't need. She still keeps in periodic touch and provides advice. I'm extremely grateful to her and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house!
