Austin was the picture of professionalism.  We were struck immediately by his command of the SF real estate market, his *candor and his legal knowledge/background that helped to navigate the complexities of selling in San Francisco.  Early on we had a conversation about what we wanted for our property- what the market would support-- and the optimal way we could achieve our goals. We so appreciate that Austin gave us the facts supported by what he was seeing in market trends and recent sales...and not just what a seller would want to hear.  He emphasized staging our unit-- which took some convincing on our end-- but ultimately paid dividends in helping to achieve a sales price that was above what we were asking.  His dual-pronged approach of leveraging a network of realtors and clients, paired with a very dynamic social media presence, in our opinion enhanced the viability of the sal…

Austin was the picture of professionalism.  We were struck immediately by his command of the SF real estate market, his *candor and his legal knowledge/background that helped to navigate the complexities of selling in San Francisco.  Early on we had a conversation about what we wanted for our property- what the market would support-- and the optimal way we could achieve our goals.

That included finding contractors, picking up various odds and ends at the unit and personally tracking down an appliance model that needed to be replaced and ordering it so that we didn't have to.  That's going above and beyond and why we would strongly recommend Austin's services to anyone looking to sell or buy property in SF- plus he is very kind and a pleasure to work with!

Austin Klar is an exceptional real estate agent. We believed our best opportunity to sell our property was to have someone tell the story of how much care and attention to detail we put into its restoration. Austin is a master storyteller, and he produced and posted an amazing video, and supporting social posts, that did just that. The results speak for themselves: two good offers for our asking price in only six days, with a successful close 28 days later. Austin’s legal acumen also gave us the confidence that every document was thoroughly considered and executed correctly. I can’t emphasize enough his attention to detail. Communication between ourselves and Austin was also perfect, as he always—always—followed up promptly to our every question. We couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to work with Austin Klar to sell our 5-unit Victorian in Pacific Heights.

Austin was an exceptional realtor who transformed our home buying experience in Marin County from overwhelming to enjoyable. His extensive knowledge of the local market was immediately apparent, helping us navigate neighborhoods from Mill Valley to San Rafael with confidence. What truly set Austin apart was his comprehensive expertise beyond just showing properties. He demonstrated in-depth understanding of Marin County's unique real estate laws and regulations, patiently explaining everything from disclosure requirements to Marin's specific zoning considerations. When we had questions about potential retrofitting needs for an older home we loved, Austin not only explained what to look for but connected us with qualified inspectors and contractors for estimates. Austin's communication was consistently prompt and clear. He anticipated our concerns before we even raised them, providing tho…

Austin was an exceptional realtor who transformed our home buying experience in Marin County from overwhelming to enjoyable. His extensive knowledge of the local market was immediately apparent, helping us navigate neighborhoods from Mill Valley to San Rafael with confidence. What truly set Austin apart was his comprehensive expertise beyond just showing properties. He demonstrated in-depth understanding of Marin County's unique real estate laws and regulations, patiently explaining everything from disclosure requirements to Marin's specific zoning considerations. When we had questions about potential retrofitting needs for an older home we loved, Austin not only explained what to look for but connected us with qualified inspectors and contractors for estimates. Austin's communication was consistently prompt and clear. He anticipated our concerns before we even raised them, providing thoughtful explanations about contingency periods, closing costs, and property tax considerations specific to Marin County. Perhaps most valuable was Austin's negotiation skills. He secured us favorable terms while maintaining excellent relationships with selling agents - a balance that ultimately helped our offer stand out in a competitive market. For other realtors reading this: Austin exemplifies the value of building genuine relationships with clients. He took time to understand our needs, concerns, and timeline without pressure. His network of industry connections (lenders, inspectors, contractors) demonstrated how a realtor can serve as a true resource hub for clients. We've already recommended Austin to friends and family, which is perhaps the highest compliment we can give. Anyone looking for property in SF or Marin would be fortunate to work with him.
