Condo Buyer - March 2018
I first met Violet at an open house in my neighborhood. I found her to be friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk with. When we began looking for a property to purchase I thought immediately of Violet. She made the entire process painless. She was available, returned phone calls and texts promptly and kept us informed at every turn. We would definitely use her again and can highly recommend her for any real estate needs.

We moved to the Austin area in early 2017 and Violet was instrumental in helping us find our first home. She was readily available to show us neighborhoods and homes as well as taking our calls and answering questions. She helped us throughout the entire process and always had resources & statistics for us to review. My husband is a finance guy -- so he appreciated having numbers to analyze as well as home-price comparisons between neighborhoods. She was attentive to our preferences and made great efforts to satisfy each one.
We were both new to Austin and to the process of buying a new home, after having rented for numerous years. Violet is very knowledgeable as to the process of buying a home and we didn't have any uncertainty about what to expect or what was next. Violet is also a great resource as to each neighborhood including details as to the schools, shopping & community.
She is extremely thoughtful and caring! For instance once we closed & moved, she helped us find a table for our kitchen.
We have recommended Violet to our family and friends. Now that we are settled into our new home & neighborhood, we sort of miss our weekend house-hunting adventures with Violet!

Working with Violet was great! She had the answers I needed and a great idea for timeline on when to start looking for a place based on the move-in date we wanted. She didn't show us things that didn't fit our criteria and was a breeze to get a hold of when I wanted to look at a house! She really made the potentially stressful ordeal of finding a place a total breeze!

"We had originally planned to go with a different Realtor, but due to some minor circumstance chnages, we needed to find someone else. Sonia had helped us get into our previous Rental situation, and had a stellar review having worked with some close friends of ours. It was an easy decision at that point. Then, it was a breeze. We layed out the essential criteria we were looking for and Sonia found us a slew of candidate houses. She was able to adjust on the fly, with alternate properties at the ready when our Sq Ft. requirements increased, and as she became aware of just how important certain house characteristics were to us. Even once it seemed pretty clear which house we were planning to go for, she recommended that we see a few more, in order to either lock in our decision, or make us realize there was something else we wanted. Could not have asked for a better experience on showings. Then, once we engaged with the one we were interested in, Sonia brought ample knowledge to the bargaining table, and I feel like we saved a few thousand dollars that we wouldn't have without her. After getting locked in, Sonia walked us through the entire process leading up to, and through, closing. She really hit it out of the park if I'm being honest, and I fully intend to continue working with her whenever possible/needed."

Young First-Time Homebuyers - August 2015
We had the good fortune to be recommended Violet's services this summer when we decided to purchase a house in Austin and cannot overstate how helpful, resourceful, and determined she was through the entire process.
We went into our search with high expectations for our intended budget and some less than common requests and Violet was not only unfazed by this, but immediately sought to rise to the challenge. She responded to calls and emails at practically all hours of the day from when we first contacted her until we closed, and even when we became frustrated or discouraged never wavered or slowed down searching for us.
She never hesitated to give us honest opinions even when it wasn't what we wanted to hear, and saved us from more than one serious mistake by doing so. She was unflinching and uncompromising dealing with sellers representatives and always made sure to protect our interests. And she helped us compromise between ourselves on difference we hadn't even thought about before she brought them to our attention.
We've been home owner's for just over a month now thanks to Violet and are incredibly happy with the property she helped us acquire. If you are searching for a realtor who simply will not give up you need look no further.

Maybe I'm biased for lack of comparison but this whole experience was everything you'd want in your home purchase. Home buying can be stressful to say the least. Throughout the entire process Sonia was there to guide us. She's a warm, caring, and professional individual who made us feel like family. She was there for our benefit. No questions too small or hour too late, she was there when we needed her. Aside from the purchase there's the recommendations and referrals of nothing but the best professionals at what they do. Anybody reading this, do yourself a favor and let Sonia help put you in the home you've been looking for.

We cannot thank Christina enough for her excellent services. She is very detail oriented, honest, straight forward with a great sense of humor! Buying a property can sometimes be a very exhaustive process but Christina was always full of fresh energy and readily available. We are really pleased that she was a part of our journey into buying our first home.

Buying or selling a house it the Austin area? I recommend Violet Leff , she is a first rate real estate agent. Violet worked with me to sell my home in South Austin. She had it sold the day it went active, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were not able to complete the sale and had to temporarily take the property off the market. During that time, Violet checked the property regularly, made sure the yard was taken care of and was in constant communication with me. Once we were able to put the property back on the market, Violet held a weekend of open houses and the property went under contract immediately as a result. I received a good offer very close to list price and a quick close of escrow. Call Violet, you will not find a more service oriented real estate agent.

We've worked with several realtors over the years, and I have to say that Sharmin stands out in the best possible way. She is extremely personable, helpful without being overbearing, and refreshingly honest and straightforward - we really felt like she had our best interests at heart and wasn't just trying to push a property on us that didn't meet our needs. We were looking at rental properties, and I was super impressed by how organized and responsive she was in terms of finding listings, scheduling viewings, and following up with owners/property managers to get answers to our questions. Sharmin was a joy to work with - super competent and so likeable, I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell or rent a home in a heartbeat!

When moving here from Seattle we weren't sure exactly what we wanted, but after chatting with Violet she immediately understood the "vibe" we were after and showed us properties that matched perfectly. Violet was easy going yet incredibly professional. It was apparent after one day of working with her that she was very experienced and knowledgeable. We are incredibly happy with the property we chose and the help she provided. Not only would we use Violet again in the future but would refer all our friends and family."

Are you considering joining us and moving to Austin?? If so, the person to call is Christina Reibman Haverty. I can't thank her enough for helping us purchase our home from 1300 miles away. She turned what could have been a much more stressful and scary situation into a pretty easy one. She went above and beyond by standing in for us at the inspection and FaceTiming with us when the inspector was finished, was there when work and repairs were being done, then FaceTimed with us again to make sure we were happy with the results. She also checked into the space in our absence when it was unoccupied for a few weeks. This women knows Austin like the back of her hand, was like a walking, talking, real estate Google. Have a question about plumbing or construction? She's on top of that too. She educated us every step of the way and steered us in the right direction 100% of the time. I recommend her with complete confidence!

Violet Leff was extremely helpful on our journey to finding a new home. She took us around and showed us a wealth of different properties that were well within our budget and ideal requirements. She set up multiple portals for various sections of Austin, so we could price compare based on neighborhood. She was excellent at offering us guidance as to that types of homes we would find in each area, pros and cons, etc. Overall, it was a very positive experience. Thanks Violet!

Tana and Mark were awesome to work with. They went over and beyond our expectations at every step and turn of the entire process. If I had to pick something that really made me appreciate their efforts, it would be Tana going out of her way to ensure the paint used following some minor ceiling repair was an exact match and went as far as having it repainted a second time. I would absolutely recommend Mark and Tana. They are an awesome team that treated us like family and focused on top, prompt and quality customer service! Scott and Mary Ritch
