TERRA FIRMA REAL ESTATE

TESTIMONIALS:

Terra Firma has sold not one--but two houses for me this year. After we closed the rent house, I obtained a job in California and had to put my primary residence on the market. Terra Firma's professional assessment of the market and capable handling of the details enabled me to leave town with no worries. I would recommend this company to anyone thinking of selling a property--Mike G.

After one week, I told Marian we had seen more activity with her than we had with the entire time we were listed with the other agency. Exactly 13 days after we listed, Marian brought us a contract. When the house we wanted to buy was taken off the market, Marian literally went door to door in the neighborhood we liked until she found someone willing to sell to us...We were so impressed, we have already referred people to Marian and would not hesitate to recommend her to any and everyone. --Kathy H

I was very happy with the thorough marketing analysis that you performed to property price our house within the fair market value. The results fell right in line with our "best guess". Additionally the long hours you put, along with the complete marketing package of our house in (golf course community) certainly paid off for us during the slower season. If we ever make it back this way...you would be the first we would call. Thanks again --Bruce H

Buying our first house was a very scary process indeed, partly because we had heard so many horror stories from other people who had been through the process. Terra Firma took us step by step through the process, making sure we understood not only what was happening, but what would happen next and things to watch for. We would recommend him to anyone buying a house--Ryan K

For several  years, I was a real estate broker in Oklahoma. When I came to Austin, I worked with several agents before I called on Marian Brooks with Terra Firma. Until I met her, we were unhappy with the progress we were making toward getting into a home that suited our needs and pocketbook. At the time, I told Marian that she did not advertise enough--as all buyers should know about her...When I received a transfer...I placed the house on the market, telling Marian that the sale must take place within 30 days because of my new job. Marian had open houses and papered the neighborhood with fliers. Within 15 days we had a contract. I highly recommend Marian --Jeanette S.

For several weeks I had been trying to sell my own house when Marian Brooks appeared at my door. Within two weeks of listing, we had a buyer. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through the whole thing without her help. Because of the professionalism of this company, I was able to focus on the house I was building in another town.  Thanks--Melba S.

Because I had been a real estate agent for a very large firm, I was reluctant to put our house in the hands of an agent. When Marian Brooks came knocking on our door, we saw no harm seeing what she had to say--especially since she and I shared the same first name. After seeing her program and listening to her ideas on marketing and closing, I realized that what she had to offer was head and shoulders above the training I had received. Our confidence in her only grew as we had an offer in two weeks. Although we are sad to be leaving the area, Both Jack and I believe our road to retirement was made easier because we allowed Marian to work for us.  --Marion P.

I am sitting here in the living room, looking out the back door at the yellow columbines growing the garden and I still can't believe I have a house! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This dream could not have come true without you. You made shopping for a home such a delight. Please stop by and visit us sometime. We'd love to see you! Lisa H.
