Client Testimonials 

Kim p.

Javier Garza was the agent for the condo I purchased last May. I was new to home buying. Javier helped me navigate through the process smoothly. He was thorough, helpful, reliable, and professional to work with. He asked questions to understand our needs and always available to answer my questions, and show properties at the date/time I asked for. Javier spent time explaining everything in a way that was easy for me to understand from making an offer to working with a loan consultant. When my offer was accepted, he actively worked with my loan consultant to ensure everything is ready for the closing. Javier also had a good relationship with loan consultants and insurance agents. I was really happy with his referrals. I would recommend him to my friends without any hesitancy.

Victor M.

Javier is a great agent. He consistently went out of his way to help us sell the house and get the best deal.
Whenever I needed other assistance with the house, he readily provided whatever was needed to move forward. If I buy or sell another house near Javier, I would use his services again and again.

Melanie M.

Javier was extremely helpful in our search for a home. He was responsive and exhibited great follow through, the entire time. Our process was quick and absolutely painless because of his expert level of service.
As a former realtor, I understand what goes into assisting clients in their home search and Javier ticks all the boxes.
I will absolutely recommend him to everyone I know and use his services in the future.

Raolat A.

I had a home environmental assessment with Javier and it was a great experience. In addition to being a realtor, he approaches the home from a scientific and environmental perspective. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains complex topics, such as how air leakage and insulation affect comfort and energy use, in a clear and practical way. His recommendations were thoughtful, realistic, and focused on improving comfort without pushing unnecessary upgrades. I highly recommend working with him if you want a smarter, more holistic approach to your home, renovation, or home-buying process.
