Wendi and her team helped us navigate selling and buying homes in this fast paced market. They were professional, very knowledgeable, and super accommodating. Hopefully, we wont be selling and buying a new home anytime soon, but if we do I would definitely use Roots Residential Group again.

Everything about working with Wendi and her amazing team, was a spectacular experience! Despite the chaotic market, we all always felt that she was providing us honest and straightforward guidance that allowed us to narrow down on the home we needed for our family. No matter how often we had a question, concern, or change of heart she was there to expertly and confidently help us solve it. And even when she wasn't directly available herself, her team of Katie and Lauren were always there ready to step in. Even at the shortest of notices, at no point did we feel a burden or unable see a house or

Wendi represented us in both the sale and purchase of our homes. She has a vast knowledge of the Austin Real Estate Market. We were able to fully trust that her knowledge coupled with her genuine demeanor, left us in the best hands. Throughout the entire process, I knew that Wendi had our familys best interest in mind. She is passionate about helping people find a place to call home and that is just one of the reasons she is so incredible at what she does. I feel so fortunate to have crossed paths with Wendi. She made what could have been a stressful time, feel effortless on our end, while resulting

We decided to search for property in Austin at the peak of a Seller's market. The odds were not in our favor. Wendi and her team went to work quickly. Wendi found us a hidden gem we would not have discovered if it wasn't for her strategic network and expertise in the market. Her intuition and knowledge found us value at a time when it seemingly didn't exist. The Roots team followed through with every detail to insure a clean, quick close. They made the impossible, possible.

Wendi and her team at Roots Residential Group have been great to work with for both our home purchase and sale.
An opportunity for us to buy a house arose at a time when we were least expecting it and unprepared. Wendi promptly updated us with the information we needed to move forward. A couple of times, it seemed like our situation was hopeless, yet Wendi's knowledge and experience kept us going. She's been attentive to our specific needs, helping guide us through the process during the pandemic. Not only that, her negotiation and organization skills are top notch. Because of Wendi

Krystal Shaw with Roots Residential Group was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! She helped answer so many of my partner's and my questions as first-time home buyers and walked us through the entire process. She noticed issues with some houses that even the sellers' agents hadn't, and got us into the top 2 bids consistently with every home we chose to bid on in a *very* tough market. Even when our lender switched loan officers within the last two weeks, Krystal worked tirelessly to make sure that we closed on the perfect home on time. I couldn't have asked for a better agent!
