Tue Dec 15 2009My husband and I are empty nesters that decided to move back to Austin from the Dallas area but weren't really sure where in Austin we wanted to live. About 20 years ago we used to live in and absolutely love the Barton Springs area but we knew that in our retirement years, we didn't want to pay those hefty property taxes associated with those homes. Romeo really listened to our needs and wants and suggested something that we had never considered, a downtown area condo! He pointed out the pros of not having any maintenance to do along with the convenience of having all of the great restaurants and venues so close by. We carefully considered all of our options and took the plunge to purchase a condo. We could not have made a better decision, we absolutely love it! Thank you so much Romeo for all of your help and expertise. You really understood what we wanted and best of all, we're back in the Barton Springs area!

Sun Oct 18 2009After having had my investment property listed with 3 other agents and nearly a year on the market I decided to list my property with Romeo. Not only was Romeo much more aggressive about marketing my property, but he also kept in constant communication and gave me the feedback I needed to make informed decisions. After on the market for less than 6 weeks, Romeo was able to get my home sold for a price well within my expectations. I would certainly recommend Romeo to anyone looking to sell a property.

Thu Sep 17 2009Romeo Manzanilla of Realty Austin, recently assisted us in finding a house in Sun City Texas. He was extremely courteous and helpful and he went above the normal service we have experienced previously in other relocations. Our adult children (located in Alpharetta GA and Round Rock TX) wished to be included in the details of our move from Florida to Texas and in the process of finding a home in this area, in fact our son researched local realtors and contacted Romeo, on our behalf, to arrange our first meeting. Romeo made sure that they were included in every step of the process by informing them, by e-mail and telephone, this was greatly appreciated by all. We recommend Romeo very highly and could not have had any better service, he is an excellent Realtor. Dale & Cindy

Sat Sep 05 2009In this market, you need realtors with determination, experience and guts. This realtor showed none of those qualities. He has a very nice personality. But that is a distraction from selling or buying properties with him. Could not sell my property for over a year even when the door was open for any price. I got a better offer selling on my own without any marketing, just from craigslist. not recommendable realtor.

Tue Aug 18 2009Romeo was great. He dealt with all of our craziness. He was very patient as we went through many changes in our life and stuck with us until we found the perfect house. I would recommend him to anyone.

Tue Aug 18 2009Romeo treated me the same as if I was purchasing a million dollar home when I actually purchased a home for $130K. I also had experience with a previous realtor that could not even compare to Romeo, whether by phone, email, or texting he provided a timel

Wed Jun 10 2009As a retiree, my wife and I were looking to make one last and final move to the Sun City Texas community in Georgetown. There are so many Realtors that work in the area that it made it difficult to find one that truly knows the area well. After reading all of the great reviews about Romeo, I decided to contact him and we're so happy that we did! Romeo completely understood our needs and our budget restraints and after a good amount of negotiation, he got us the perfect home for us. I can't recommend him enough!

Wed Feb 04 2009Romeo Manzanilla delivered. He was available, attentive, hard working and knowledgeable. He listened to our goals and helped us achieve them. After our quick sale, we asked him to represent us in our house-hunting endeavor. We are very pleased and we would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends

Wed Jul 23 2008Being from out of town and needing to locate a realtor who would help us in locating a home that would meet our unique needs first appeared to be a daunting task. However, that was not to be the case as we were fortunate to find a 5 star realtor representative on Citysearch. Romeo Manzanilla proved to be more than we could ever expect in helping us to locate our ideal home in the Austin metropolitan area. Romeo proved to be professional and patient in working with us to locate a home to meet our particular needs. He was always prompt and focused when he took us to see many different homes in an effort to find just what we were looking for in a home. Even though we were not sure ourselves at first just what we really were looking for, he helped us to narrow that down while helping us answer many other questions that we had not even thought about. Since my wife and I were unable to stay in the Austin area during our search for our home, we were able to continue our search with ... Read more

Sun Mar 23 2008Doug and I wanted to move from Phoenix, AZ to Austin and met with Romeo in Austin. He took us to all the places he thought fit our desires. He didn't pressure us nor did he try to convince us into buying a home that didn't fit into our budget or our desires. Romeo took us to the wonderful Oasis restaurant on Lake Travis for lunch so we could really enjoy the beauty that Austin has to offer. I can't say enough how caring, professional, thoughtful and considerate he is. If you are thinking about moving to or away from Austin and need to purchase or sell your home, DO NOT HIRE ANY OTHER REALTOR. Romeo will see you through from beginning to end. Thanks so much Romeo for everything! Barbara and Doug from Phoenix, AZ

Fri Feb 15 2008I work as a staging consultant with many realtors, but when it came to selling my own home, I didn't want to work with anyone else but Romeo. His attention to detail and thoroughness in marketing really does put him head and shoulders above most other Realtors. He really does care about getting his clients the most for their money and needless to say, I was more than happy with the sales price of my home and absolutely love my new home. I can't say enough about Romeo's professionalism and caring attitude. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.

Tue Dec 11 2007My husband and I recently began looking for our first home and had secured another realtor recommended by a friend. However, when we found the house that had everything we wanted and we had decided to put in an offer, I was unable to reach our realtor for two days. Panicked because I didn't want to miss out on this house, I looked on Citysearch and found Romeo. With just a quick phone call explaining our situation, he met me immediately to look at the house and begin the process of placing an offer. Throughout the process he was always very responsive, kind, honest, and helpful. He's always willing to go the extra mile, and you always feel he genuinely has your best interests in mind. As a happy new homeowner, I would glady recommend Romeo to anyone looking for a great realtor.

Wed May 09 2007I recently was promoted to a position that required moving to France and wanted to sell my home before moving. I contacted Romeo because of all of his great reviews and met with him to find out what my home was worth. He did not inflate his market analysis to try and earn my business by over-exaggerating what my home was worth, but rather provided me with a fair and accurate analysis. My home sold within the first 30 days of being listed on the market at the Full Price that we had listed it. The transaction could not have been any easier. Now I can leave for my new position without having to worry about selling my home in Texas. Thank you very much Romeo.

Tue May 08 2007Romeo really heard and understood what it was that I was looking for in a new home. He didn't try and show me properties that were outside of my price range nor properties that paid him the most commission. He was honest, reliable and trusthworthy. He eventually found just what I was looking for and I couldn't be any happier living in my new home. Thank you Romeo.

Wed May 02 2007Romeo was quick to help our son locate a house, 24 hours. He's considerate and was available to shepard the transaction through the short time frame of 17 days. He's honest, genuine, knowledgable & skilled. He was proactive on our behalf while still being a fair person. It was a pleasure having him as our real estate agent.

Tue Apr 17 2007My husband and I had started looking for a new home when I was pregnant with my second child and spoke to many realtors about selling our home and buying a new one. Most seemed knowledgable enough, but I kept getting the feeling like I was talking to a used car salesman. When a friend of mine recommded Romeo, I decided to give him a call. I got a completely different feeling from Romeo. I felt that he really listened and understood exactly what we were looking for and that he was genuinely concerned with helping us find the right home for us. 3 months later, we were living in our new home and Romeo was able to sell our existing home for more than we expected. I would definitely recommend Romeo to anyone who looking to buy or sell a home.

Mon Apr 16 2007We didn't think that we would ever be able to buy a home because of our past credit problems, but Romeo stuck with us and helped to negotiate a great deal on a new home. His patience and honesty really sets him apart from other realtors that we've spoken with in the past. He was more interested in helping us find the right home than collecting a commission. We will recommend Romeo to anyone that we know that is looking to buy or sell a home.

Wed Jan 10 2007I found Romeo online and I was a first-time homebuyer. I was a bit nervous and a bit excited at the same time because I only read about all the home hunting stuff and never experienced. I gotta say that through Romeo, he made this the easiest and truly the best experience ever! He was kind, gracious, very, very patient (say over 20 properties!) stuck with me the entire time, and never pressured me for anything! This guy was incredible and he did a stellar job!

Tue Jan 09 2007I was looking to purchase a home on a very tight budget. A friend of mine recommended that I call Romeo to assist me in purchasing a home because he had been very professional and helpful in finding her the perfect home. When I contacted Romeo, he told me about several programs that would assist me in qualifying and purchasing a nicer home than I had originally been told by other realtors that I would qualify for. None of the other realtors even mentioned these programs that Romeo did. In the end, I was able to purchase a brand new home in a subdivision close to where I work. Not only did Romeo get me more house, but he was able to find me something close to work to cut my commute time. Thank you so much Romeo for the positive experience!

Tue Jan 09 2007I can be a bit demanding when I really want something. My lease on the condo that I was renting was going to end and I only had a limited amount of time to find a house. Romeo worked day and night with me for several weeks to find the home that matched exactly what I was looking for. Better yet, the in house mortgage company was able to offer me a lower interest rate than the bank that I had been banking with for years. Romeo never once seemed frustrated or flustered by constant calls and emails. He always politely and promptly took and answered my calls and emails. Even my mother, knowing what I'm like, was surprised at the abuse that Romeo took. I really do appreciate everything that Romeo did. I don't think that there is another realtor that would go as far as Romeo did. Thank you so much!

Sat Jan 06 2007I was moving my medical practice from California to Texas and I wanted to purchase a home for myself and my family prior to making the move. Based on the recommendation from an associate that lived in the Austin area, I contacted Romeo to assist me in finding the best home suited for our needs. I flew out to meet Romeo about 2 months prior to the move and found him to be very professional, courteous and organized. Based on a brief description of what we were looking for, Romeo had researched several homes and I was able to narrow down my search and eventually purchased the perfect home for us. Romeo even assisted us with the move. My family and I truly thank you for all of your assistance.

Thu Jan 04 2007Romeo really helped me and my family by working with us to buy our first home. We had called other agents, but they seemed disinterested when I told them that we were not prequalified yet and that I had some credit problems. When I called Romeo, he not only said that he would work with us, but told us about a great program available to first time buyers that we handn't even heard about from the other agents. We were able to purchase a new house in a great community with very little out of pocket! Thank you Romeo for all of your patience and professionalism. I will definitely recommend you to all of my friends and to anyone who thinks that they can't buy a home. You really did make a difference in our lives :)
