Owner of Elite Austin Staging

"We had an amazing experience working with Dara and her team when recently purchasing a beautiful Santa Barbara Spanish style ranch! Dara is a high level communicator and always stays a step ahead of the process helping make sure things move along smoothly and successfully. We will absolutely be working with Dara again and looking forward to having her sell two of our properties this Spring".

Choosing to work with Dara to sell our home and find us a new home was definitely the right decision because the results were amazing. Dara sold our house within the price range we wanted and helped us find the perfect new home for us in spite of the fact that homes in the price range that we were looking to buy, were receiving multiple full price offers within days of being on the market. Dara quickly got the process going to make sure that our home was ready to go on the market to ensure that we would receive top dollar. This included sending out people to help reduce some of the clutter that had accumulated over the past sixteen years and to make some repairs to reduce the lived in look after raising three boys in our home. One thing that we liked best about working with Dara was she never pushed us to reduce the price of our house just to get it sold. The pricing discussions and deci…

Choosing to work with Dara to sell our home and find us a new home was definitely the right decision because the results were amazing.

Dara quickly got the process going to make sure that our home was ready to go on the market to ensure that we would receive top dollar. This included sending out people to help reduce some of the clutter that had accumulated over the past sixteen years and to make some repairs to reduce the lived in look after raising three boys in our home. One thing that we liked best about working with Dara was she never pushed us to reduce the price of our house just to get it sold. The pricing discussions and decisions were always based on the facts about what was happening in the market. When it became apparent to Dara that the timing may not be right for us to sell our home for top dollar, she suggested that we take our house off the market and wait for things to level off. We followed Dara’s advice and then she contacted us as soon as she thought it was time to put our house back on the market. The second time around on the market, our house sold very quickly for the price we wanted. We would recommend Dara to anyone who wants to work with someone who is incredibly professional, one of the hardest working people we have ever met and will produce the results you want. Dara answered every text, email, or phone call literally within minutes of receiving it. Even if Dara was busy and could not answer the question, she would acknowledge receipt of message and let us know when she could respond. When we were in throws of simultaneously negotiating the sale of our house and buying our new home, Dara worked with late into the night and into the very early morning to make certain both deals were successful.

Seeking a realtor to work alongside me to sell my luxury homes it was important to me to find someone who embodied the words integrity, professionalism, hard work and initiative. I took some time and interviewed many Realtors but finally decided to work with Dara Allen and I have not been disappointed. Dara and I have worked on a number of multi-million dollar Spec and Custom Homes and I am always impressed by her upbeat demeanor, professionalism and attention to detail. Dara never spares any expense in preparing websites, brochures, images of the home, staging the home with furniture if needed and I rely heavily on her opinion of market forces and sales history. I feel that Dara represents herself, and thereby my company in the highest degree and I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone wishing to sell or buy a home.

Within twenty four hours of telling Dara Allen that I wanted to sell my home, she had an outstanding photographer shooting beautiful images of my home and completed the listing the following day. She showed my home before it went on MLS, and I had a full price offer right away. Simultaneously, Dara was acting as my buyer agent, which was equally smooth and expedited experience. She knew how important it was for our family to be situated in our new home before the children's first day at their new school, and she worked very hard to make that happen. I cannot sing Dara's praises loudly enough. Her knowledge of the Austin real estate market, school districts, and real estate law combined with her warm, shining personality make her the best of the best in the real estate profession. I would recommend Dara Allen to anyone and everyone!

Seller

I have worked extensively in the construction and Real Estate market and been associated with many top Realtors. I had met Dara on a couple of occasions and was drawn to her no BS approach and professionalism. I had 2 top agents working on my $2,000,000 home previously which they were unable to sell. I gave it to Dara and immediately could see the traffic flow pick up, not only in quantity but in the quality of the lookers. Dara is always available and keeps in contact. I would highly recommend Dara to anyone either buying or selling a home.
