Testimonials

I moved to Austin from CA and bought a brand new home.  Gregg really helped me feel comfortable with the entire process and made sure things were done correctly and on time.  He's low pressure and fun to work with.

Gregg and his team provided to my partner and I a very enjoyable experience, we couldn't have asked for more.  He was never pushy and really listened to what we were looking for.  We moved to TX from CA and Gregg made a stressful situation very enjoyable!  Thanks again Gregg!

We met Gregg at an open house and knew right away he would be the best agent for us.  Having moved to Austin a few years ago and started renting, we knew we wanted a central location but our budget was very tight.  Gregg took our criteria and challenge to heart and found us the perfect home in a great central Austin neighborhood.  He really went above and beyond the call of duty and we'll for sure be sending him our referrals!

Gregg is the most trustworthy real estate agent I have worked with in the past 10 years. He is results oriented and highly motivated to find the right place for you. Gregg knows that when you are happy as a customer, he gets more business. We were very happy to have him as a realtor and would refer him to our friends and family.

I moved to Austin not knowing a thing.  Gregg not only found me the home I was looking for but helped me fit right in to Austin.  Thanks again Gregg, oh and watch your speed!  (he got a speeding ticket when we were looking at homes) 

Sorry Gregg had to say it...he's really a good driver!

 My wife and I highly recommend E.J. McKinney as a REALTOR.  Ashly is a licensed REALTOR but we hired E.J. to sell our home and help us buy a new one because he is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.  Time is of the essence for him: he listed, marketed and sold our home in 7 days, found and negotiated a deal on our next home, and served as the REALTOR for the home we purchased all in one month.  He maintained our confidence throughout each stage by displaying his own confidence in selling a home.

E.J.'s work did not end at the purchase and sale of our real estate.  He actually shopped with us for new flooring.  He has a great eye for style and without his help with his vendor relationships we would not have been able to replace all of the flooring in the new house.  E.J. has many connections in the community including an excellent mortgage banker, Jan Hill who is absolutely fabulous.  We were all set to use our previous mortgage broker, but changed our minds quickly after talking with Jan.

No question goes unanswered or unresearched when you have E.J. McKinney on your team.  He is a reliable, responsible, trustworthy REALTOR that will do what it takes to get you what you want.  The only problem you will have with using E.J. as your REALTOR is realizing that buying a home is not as stressful as you think and before you know it, you will want to move again!

Sincerely,

Matt and Ashly Dunn

Why EJ is a Rock Star
      My husband and I were first-time home buyers who had been dreaming of escaping apartment life for years. When we finally found ourselves in the position to buy a house, EJ was our go-to guy. I was wary of working with any realtor, because I am a natural worrier and I had concerns that our realtor would end up being some kind of snake-oil salesman. EJ dispelled my worries in our first meeting.
      He accomodated our crazy work schedules, and came to our cramped apartment to meet with us. When he tolerated our toddler son's endless babbling and mayhem with a smile, I knew we had a winner. Over the course of looking at houses, EJ was informative, insightful about the properties, and generally fun and easy to hang out with. That last bit is important, when you're spending hours schlepping from house to house with someone.
      Once we made our decision on which house to buy, EJ was our best advocate. He kept us informed, and explained every step of the process in a way that a rookie first-time home buyer could understand. Throughout the negotiations, EJ was on top of things with recommendations for us, on-call for us day or night, and was nicely aggressive on our behalf when he needed to be. Overall, EJ made the entire house-buying process extremely smooth and painless. For us cautious first-time home buyers, it was an enormous weight off of our shoulders to feel like we were in good hands.

Dear E.J.,
My husband, Jim, and I both wish to thank you for all you've done to help us sell our house. You really put in a lot of time on it and gave our unique situation the research and resources it needed. During the time it took to find a buyer and close the sale you were not only a help in the technical step-by-step things that needed to be done but also an encouragement when things were not working the way we thought they should. When no one else wanted to deal with our situation and we didn't know what else to do, you stepped in and ran with it. I was both amazed and thankful for how much time you put into this. Through the time it took and the many, many phone calls we feel like we have made a friend. You really showed you cared about our family and about helping us find the best deal. You have been a real blessing to our family and kept us from giving in and having to repo the house. It was also a blessing to my husband to have you advising us and doing research for us while he was serving in Iraq. Having all of this happen while he was deployed was very difficult and It was a big comfort to my husband to have someone work so hard on it with us. We continue to recommend you to others who might be buying/selling in the Austin area and will likely call you for advice in the future when we decide to buy again.
Thank You again, E.J.,
Sincerely,
Venessa Shields

“We were very fortunate to have E.J. as our realtor. Being renters, we were very impressed that he gave us the attention he would a potential home buyer. From the start of our search through the signing of the lease, E.J. was continuously working with us to find the right place that fit our needs. He was available, dependable, and straightforward and always had a positive attitude. When we found our house, E.J, continued to be of service to us offering to answer questions about the contract as well as to address any future concerns. When we’re ready to buy, we’ll definitely look to E.J.”

J. Gonzalez - living in my first home


"'Home' is an amazing word & Joey understands how incredibly important that word becomes to his clients. Working with Joey was one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy, and being a top notch customer service agent myself, that is saying a ton. His knowledge, connections & referrals were superb; & through working with him, I knew I could trust in what he had to offer up as far as knowledge & experience, because he's just that good. Never once did I feel like a client, I felt like my friend was helping me get the house he know I wanted & deserved to be in. I cannot stop & will continue to sing his praises to anyone & everyone who is interested in buying a home in Austin, as they will not find a better person to work with."


 
- C. Lucien


 
"I've worked w/hundreds of agents in the mortgage arena & Joey was a breath of fresh air. He's honest, totally dedicated to finding what the client wants & needs & the home that makes sense for the family. He follows up on the smallest details, which can become far too large if left unchecked, & generally makes you know that someone is looking out for your best interest; not just the interest of making an offer & moving on. I appreciated all his efforts & would recommended him to friends here in Austin - & I don't recommend too often!"


 
- M & M Mehta

 
"Joey, with your professional service & expert advice, we were ecstatic to be able to sell our first home in less than 24 hours. 8 months later when we were ready to buy our next home, you made the experience delightfully easy. We were able to get an excellent price on a home we love. Thank you for all of your help!"


 - B. Cook
 
"Working with Joey was great! Even though I wasn't shopping in the Austin area he was able to refer me to one of his associates in the DFW area & within 4 days I had found the perfect home. I would refer anyone looking for a knowledgable Realtor to give Joey the opportunity to find them the right home."


 
-T. Luethe



"We were looking for investment property. Joey helped us out tremendously! He even hooked us up with a great Realtor in Dallas. Thanks Joey!"

“Joey was the most incredible realtor I have ever worked with!
Not only did he sell my house in just 2 weeks in a rough market , he did every thing in his power to make my home the most desirable it could be! From power-washing my driveway to always tweaking the interior. His dedication did not stop there, he was always attentive and concerned with myself and my little dogs. He honestly made me feel like I was his only client, and I was getting all his attention! So I would highly recommend Joey Lazeren (and have) to all my friends!”

“Joey worked with me over several weeks to help me locate a great house in Austin while I was still living in Phoenix. He got everything arranged and coordinated so I could just pull up in my great big moving truck, sign the lease, and start unpacking.  Very happy with the overall experience and highly recommend Joey for real estate needs.”  


M. Spear


“Joey Lazeren is by far the best realtor and broker in the Austin area. He was able to sell my house in less than 3 weeks for asking price, at a time when the real estate market was at it's worst. His drive, attention to detail and willingness to do whatever it takes to meet his client's needs is unmatched. He is a credit to the real estate profession and I highly recommend him."
