Embarking on our first home purchase, my wife and I really wanted an agent who would take the time to fully explain the process and walk us through our options. Shay was that agent and more. Not only was Shay incredibly well-versed in the Austin real estate market, but she also gave us benefits and drawbacks of each individual home we viewed (and we viewed about 20 homes). Moreover, I doubt you'll find a more responsive agent. Mark Travis

We couldn’t be happier with Shay as our representative. Under tight time constraints, she wisely negotiated both our sale and purchase and exceeded expectations on both fronts. Shay is impressively dedicated to and skilled at her job; she met unforeseeable challenges and was a grounding force for us when we faced uncertainty. Her loyalty, integrity and communication were essential during these life changing decisions. We’d use her again without question. Will & Miranda South

Shay was so helpful when we bought our house in Southwest Austin and sold our condo downtown. My husband is an engineer so we always had a list of questions for her about the houses or about the process of buying / selling. She was always happy to provide as much detail as we needed. We really value her expertise and opinion. There was a time we considered purchasing a fixer-upper and we asked Shay her thoughts; she really helped us work out that the cost of redoing the house would be more than comparable houses in the neighborhood. The closing were so simple with Shay's help. We highly recommend her!
We moved to Austin from Washington DC and we are so thankful that we used Shay. She went above and beyond what other real estate agents would do with finding our house. Since we were moving from out of state and couldn't look at a house right away, we would look online and if we saw a house that we liked Shay would look at the house within an hour. Shay always answered her phone and gave us so much time. She gave us names of mortgage brokers, but never made us feel like we had to call them. Shay is so friendly and really offers her opinion when asked. She was never pushy with a house and gave us a lot of time. I would HIGHLY recommend Shay as a real estate agent for anywhere in Austin.
Andrea Thompson
Thank you for selling my condo and helping me find my new place. It was a pleasure working with you and I would definitely recommend you to anyone looking to sell or buy a home
Peggy Pringle
We can't thank you or praise you enough for all of your help getting us into this house and couldn't have asked for a better buying experience. Thanks for all your valued advice on the houses we saw, your patience with our endless questions, and for working so hard to get us a great deal on the house you knew we loved. We really and truly could not have done it without you.
Tommy & Ruth Connell
Shay is fantastic plain and simple. For her to handle a client like me with the professionalism and patience she did is a testament in and of itself to the type of business woman she is as I am very particular, demand attention to detail and ask lots of questions. I am by no means an easy customer to work for, especially having been the seller in the tough housing market we are currently in. I've been through the home buying/selling process numerous times and Shay is by far the best I have ever worked with and as a result I'll never work with anyone else. Shay will handle all of my families future real estate needs. I recommend you let her handle your families as well.
Derek & Michelle Dimanoff
We wanted to thank you so much for the hard work you put in for us. Moving from another state, into an area with which we were completely unfamiliar, was very intimidating when it came to purchasing a new home.This house was our favorite and you saw to it that we had everything in order and helped to make sure we looked everywhere else so that we knew for sure we were getting the right place. Your ability to negotiate with the sellers saved us in the long run too. Thank you again and we will continue to send anyone moving to the Austin area to "Shay Hargus"!
Victor & Tricia Lopez
I wanted to take a moment out of our unpacking time to thank you for all you did to help us find our wonderful home. A move from California to Texas is not an easy one but having a Realtor like you there for us, in state we knew virtually nothing about, was a huge comfort for me, my wife, and my kids. We really appreciated your knowledge of the different areas, all the advice you gave us on the dos & don'ts of Texas, and most of all your patience in helping us with our decision. You're a true asset to your profession.
The Forrest family
It was a pleasure doing business with Shay. She was always most professional and more important patient. We'll definitely work with Shay on any future home sales and/or purchase.
Dan Zimmerman
Working with Shay on the purchase of our new home was absolutely wonderful. This being our first purchase, we were looking for a Realtor who was attentive to detail, concerned about finding the perfect home for us, and great at following up with the sellers and ourselves. Shay did all of these things flawlessly. I am in sales, and the customer experience is something that I value above anything else, and Shay will always deliver an incredible home buying experience. I have since recommended her to several friends, who have all been extremely pleased with her.
Keith and Lauren Elliston
I was referred to Shay by a friend when I mentioned that I was going to sell my land. I felt at ease from the first moment by her honest and caring attitude. Shay was thorough in explaining the process and setting true expectations. To my delight, my land sold in record time and closed with no effort on my part. It all went very smoothly with Shay's professionalism and attention to details. I will return to Shay for future needs and recommend her highly.
Nisa Ward
Shay worked with me on purchasing my first home. She was very proactive and very easy to work with. She made the whole process easy from start to finish.
Jenny Ferguson
Purchasing a house can be a very intimidating & time consuming process, especially for first time home buyers like us. Shay was very patient and reassuring that we would find a house that fit our needs. After numerous house hunting expeditions, we finally came across the house that was perfect for us. Shay guided us through all the technical processes of purchasing a home. I could not have asked for more in a Realtor. Thanks for all the support and guidance Shay!
Luke & Heather Jackson
Thank you for having so much patience with me. You made the entire buying process a breeze. You work harder than any agent I have ever purchased real estate through and I really appreciate it. I am loving my new home and really enjoying downtown Austin.
Lisa Scott
It was a pleasure working with Shay during our relocation to Austin. She was well organized and accommodating. She worked hard to ensure that every step in the purchase of our new home in Avery Ranch went smoothly. This was particularly appreciated because much of the process took place prior to our arrival in Austin. We would not hesitate to work with her again and to recommend her services to others.Shay has always put my interest first when looking at properties. There were times when at a loss of commission for her she has advised me away from certain deals and helped me find exactly what I am looking for. She has been thorough, answering all my questions, and never lost sight of what my best interest was.She has helped me successfully find and buy a property with another one in the works and continuing to look for more. Shay truly is a great Realtor: you feel like more than a client, she treats you like a friend.
Dale & Michelle Harrison
It was a pleasure working with Shay to purchase our first home. She was extremely patient with us even though we constantly changed our minds about the style and location of the home we hoped to purchase. In the end, Shay helped us find our dream home. She is a real professional and we would strongly recommend her services to anyone looking to purchase real estate in the greater Austin area.
Scott & Diana Uhlaender
It was an absolute pleasure working with Shay! A close friend of mine recommended Shay and I am so glad that I chose her as my Realtor. It was my first time buying a home and I was very uneducated in the process. Shay spent ample time teaching me the process, showing me different homes, and made the whole process very simple. I would recommend Shay to anyone that is wanting to buy a house.
Kristie Cleveland
Shay was the best to work with. As the buyer, she always made everything so easy for us. This was our first home and Shay always took the time to help and guide us until we found the house that was just right for us. We are both hardworking people and Shay helped us accomplish our dream of owning our home. Whilst we were looking for our first home, we often lost direction but Shay stayed on top of things and whenever a new house came up, she was always willing to drop everything and take us to see it. Both I and my wife have recommended Shay to our friends and she is already helping them find their dream homes! Let her help you find your home!
Darren & Heather Lenton
It was great working with Shay on our first home buying experience! Shay is very knowledgeable about the entire process and was always quick to respond and helpful even during off hours and weekends. We work in the high tech industry and have known Shay for about 3 years. We would definitely go with her for our next home selling or buying experience and recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Jeffrey Campbell & Sharon Janeka
Shay was terrific - very professional and reassuring at what can be an anxious time. I'd recommend her highly!
Annette Carlozzi
Shay helped me find my dream home! I was a first time buyer and new to this area, however, Shay made buying a home a very pleasant experience for me. Shay not only has profound knowledge and extensive experiences in real estate business but also the willingness to go above and beyond to deliver the highest standard services to her clients. Shay was very patient during the whole process and exhibited the best skills of a Realtor. She has always put her clients' interests above her own. I admire her professionalism and would recommend her service with no reservations.
Wei Wang
It was great to work with Shay. She helped me with the purchase of my very first home and the service she provided was great! I am a hair stylist and heard about Shay through one of my clients and now I will be recommending Shay to all my clients who are in search of a home
Delain Oates
I can't thank you enough for all your hard work. I am very happy with our choice of houses and we could not have done it without a Realtor like you. You were very
pro- active and you can make things happen. I see a very successful career in your future. Good luck and I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for property.
Carmen De La Llata
Shay was so easy to work with. We had so many questions, and toured so many different homes, till we found the perfect one! She was so relaxed and patient with us as we searched and searched. I highly recommend her. Shay is very honest and handled every detail and question we had professionally. She sold our house in just 3 weeks and got us in another very quickly afterward! What a seamless experience it was moving from one home to another!
Diana Stearns
Shay did a great job coordinating and preparing my home for sale which was particularly appreciated as I was in process of moving across the country while she provided this help. I would, without hesitation recommend her services to any potential real estate customer.
Brian Winnick
In purchasing my first home, I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Shay. She allowed me to ask many questions and voice any concerns. She was extremely knowledgeable about the market, homebuilders, and neighborhoods. She was quick to express the precautions that a single woman should take when choosing a home and neighborhood. I appreciated this opinion very much, as to Shay, my safety came first. Shay understood my budget and my needs in a home and found me a home that fit both.
Shallen Conner
Shay was extremely hard working and never failed to go the extra mile to take care of assisting me in my home search. As a first time home buyer, Shay explained each step of the way. In addition to being available to show a house at all hours of the day (working with my schedule), she is a sincerely genuine person who puts her clients first. I highly recommend Shay for anyone needing a Realtor. If you are reading this as a prospective home buyer or seller, you will be hard pressed to find a more respected or knowledgeable Realtor.
Julie Taylor
Shay is a miracle worker. She sold my old home in a neighborhood that has new homes going up in it. She also sold it and had it closed in less time than she originally told me. I can't say
enough about her.
Bobby Hannusch
Shay took the time to really understand what I was looking for; all the places she showed me were all close to being right for me. She also gave me a lot of good advice on the pros and cons of each of the places I saw, which was very helpful for a first time buyer such as myself. I was also impressed with her customer service - she was pretty much always able to meet me or show me locations whenever I wanted to. I would definitely use Shay again the next time I am looking to purchase
or sell a home.
Dan Nguyen
I really enjoyed working with Shay. She was very knowledgeable and always ready and willing to provide information and assistance. She sold my last home as assisted me in finding and purchasing my current home. She provided excellent service and working with her was always a pleasure. I'm a statistician for the State of Texas and have known Shay for a little more than a year now. I have recommended her services to co-workers and friends in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Her professionalism made the entire process much less stressful than it might have been otherwise.
Michael Davis
Thank you so much for everything!!! You were so patient with us and helped a great deal in the whole process. We can't thank you enough for all the help and guidance you have given us. You are very, very professional, yet kind, sincere and show a great deal of care. It was a pleasure working with you.
Jj Shen & Chen Liang
Thanks again for all of your help & patience both in the buying & selling of our house- Cherie and I really appreciate your professionalism and friendship over the last couple of years. - John
Thank you for all your work with the house. I can't imagine that it would have gone any smoother had we been in the area instead of 2500 miles away. A special thanks for mailing things we forgot. That is probably beyond the call of a real estate agent and more along the lines of a friend. - Cherie
John & Cherie Percaccio
My wife and I were relocating to another state and I was fortunate enough to meet Shay Hargus. Selling a home can be very trying, but she made everything smooth and simple for us. We didn't have to worry about any of the details on "Open House" days and she was always available for our questions/concerns that would frequently come up. She was always reachable by phone and or e-mail & in today's world we all want a fast response and that's what we got from Shay. If you need a professional, reliable and most of all a motivated Realtor, then it is definitely Shay Hargus.
Eric Davis
As a first time home buyer I put my faith in Shay as the expert to provide me with information I needed to make good decisions, and I was truly impressed with her knowledge, integrity, dedication, compassion and professionalism. Shay earned my respect many times during the entire experience. Once, when I told her I was ready to make an offer on a house, she called me on a Sunday evening to say she came across a house she had to share with me first because it was down the street from the one I wanted to make an offer on and was listed at a great price due to foreclosure. Shay was not comfortable submitting my offer without showing me this house, which just came back on the market. Shay drove from North Austin down to Kyle on a Sunday evening to show me the property so I could consider it before making an offer on the original one. Neither house was the one I ended up buying, but Shay proved to me that her commitment to finding the right home for her clients is greater than her desire to close a sale quickly and move on to the next one - and that (to me) separates her from the rest. I absolutely love my home, and while I don't intend to move for a very long time, when I do have any real estate needs, you can bet Shay will be the one I most definitely call! THANKS SHAY !
Terry Childs
Thank you so much for all of your help, patience, and flexibility. We appreciate all the effort you put forth in finding us the perfect living space. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
