Testimonials:

"Thanks to Allison's expertise and guidance, I was able to purchase a great home in an ideal location within my price range. Allison was generous, perceptive, and patient in showing me potential properties and in leading me through the complexities of purchasing a first home. She brought warmth, reassurance, and goodwill to an otherwise daunting task and was a joy to work with every step of the way."
Margaret Bigger, Tarrytown

"After buying and selling homes for decades, I'm the expert to tell you that Allison is superior as a Realtor. Her genuine care for clients and attention to detail makes the entire process so much easier. Allison provides help that you don't even know you need. I've never had a Realtor handle so many details for me. Plus you can always count on Allison to be that perfect combination of great negotiator and adviser plus maintain a great attitude and sense of humor at all times. She was very patient with us as we wavered between buying a loft downtown or finding a house in the suburbs. She showed us many terrific listings in both categories. When we finally decided on the right place, Allison was very thorough in making sure all contracts, inspections, etc. were handled correctly. We will definitely contact Allison the next time we decide to buy or sell. I would recommend her to anyone."
Victoria and Kevin Schaffer, Southwest Austin

"Allison worked diligently to help us find the perfect house. It was our first home purchase, and even though we were in unfamiliar territory, Allison helped us feel comfortable and knowledgeable every step of the way. She was always there to negotiate on our behalf, and to present us with all of our options. Her tireless efforts made finding a home really enjoyable."

“Allison Olson is honest, highly intelligent and extremely effective. I've worked with her four times; buying twice and selling twice. She always put my family's best interest first. When we were buying, Allison never wasted our time. She has a very efficient search system so we knew everything that was out there based on the parameters we set. She can walk in a house and spot trouble long before you pay an inspector. Details you'd never notice, Allison will point out and make sure you consider. We paid just about what she predicted both times. When we were selling, she gave detailed information about the neighboring homes and recommended a price point. Once we went with her number, once we didn't. She treated both sales exactly the same; a true professional. We sold both homes at a price we were very happy with. Since Allison found us our dream home, I'm not sure we'll ever move. But I know if we start looking, Allison Olson is the only Realtor we would consider.”
