Since 2017, We have worked with Marathon Real Estate on 3 purchases and 1 sale in the Austin area, both for my primary home (twice) and more recently a local investment home. In this crazy Austin market, Tausha and her team (We loved working with Sabreena!) offered excellent guidance and support throughout. They are responsive day and night and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with them again and again. Thank you Marathon Team!

I'm providing one star because ZERO isn't an option. Do Not use this prejudice, snobby, rude, condescending and outright no integrity nor honor having agent Tausha Carlson!!! I implore any First Responders, Disabled Veterans or anyone needing to leave the town or state prior to the sale to avoid her like the plague!!! She doesn't at all care anything about you, except your money. She advertises like a pro and definitely lies very well, however, if your not there "in person" to FORCE this lazy lying agent to be held accountable, she Will Not truly help you not be there

My wife and I worked with Marathon Real Estate when we were looking for a home in Austin. We ended up building our beautiful forever home on South Austin after we were directed to a builder with available lots in Circle C. Tausha and her team were there at every step of the process - they helped us to understand what would happen, how it would happen, and when it would happen. They were there with us at every meeting, and were there for the final walk through. After closing, Tausha stayed in touch and provided a contact list of trusted businesses/contractors that she has worked with in the past

Tausha, Sabreena, and the rest of the team were incredibly helpful for our home buying process. We were first time homebuyers and they were very willing to answer each question we had, no matter how obvious it might have been to someone who knew their stuff. Their presence made you feel as if you were their only client and I have already recommended her to other friends who are considering purchasing their house. When we are ready to sell, we will absolutely be coming back to the Marathon team.
