Kudos from clients

“We bought and sold homes with Jenny. Communication was amazing! She is well informed, very communicative and seemingly always available. Very knowledgeable about the entire process and did not pressure us about anything. Moving is stressful, but Jenny helped eased the process.” Julia R., Austin, TX

“Jenny has been incredibly great to work with as first time home buyers. My fiance worked with Jenny for a whole year, searching for the right "dream" home for us. Jenny was patient throughout the entire process and we never felt pressured to make any decisions. Jenny helped us navigate through a very popular and very competitive housing market right now in the Austin area, and we felt very comfortable with her guidance and knowledge. We always felt like we could pick up the phone and ask Jenny any questions we had (which was many).

Being out of state, it is difficult to really gauge the feel of a house, and Jenny took time to drive to different (MULTIPLE) houses on the weekends and take photos, and recorded videos for us! We are truly appreciative that she went above and beyond. Jenny went into detail about general noise levels, general neighborhood feel, pets in the yard, construction/freeways nearby, schools nearby, and this helped us really get a "feel" of the neighborhood, even though we are literally thousands of miles away.

Having someone directly seeing the property that we are potentially spending thousands and thousands of dollars investment on - is a big decision in anyone's life and we trusted Jenny to have our best interests in mind. Jenny is your gal to rely on and trust. She is also knowledgable about the tax rates, and is able to tell you which properties are priced correctly vs others which are not based off comps.

Jenny also gave us the inside scoop on culture in Austin, and Texas in general. We are moving from Bay Area, and this will be a big change for us as we begin a new chapter of our lives - and I am glad that we were able to have Jenny guide us in finding our forever home, and hope that she is able to help any readers as well.

I would definitely recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a professional and dedicated resource with your interests in mind, in the Austin area - I have already influenced some co-workers regarding purchasing in Austin area, and sent Jenny's info their way!” Charlene V., Round Rock, TX

“It would be difficult to say enough positive things about Jenny Phillips / JM Phillips Properties Group. When my wife and I decided we were ready to begin the search for a rural / ranch property sometime in 2016, we met and enlisted Jenny to aid us in the endeavor. Our criteria was fairly stringent: large property, within 1.5 hrs of Austin, live water, plenty of trees, variation in elevation.. and affordable. A tall order to be sure. So tall, as a matter of fact, that it took 4 years. And, not for a lack of trying. Jenny kept up with the listings - new and older - along with us. She would actively look and watch for property that matched our criteria.. regularly bringing possible matches to our attention. But, she was never, ever pushy. She never encouraged us to lower our standards or change our vision. She remained active, but always patient. Until one day in early 2020 - the right listing came along. Once we found the property that we had been looking for.. then the real work (especially for Jenny) began. There was a quite a list of items to tend to: price negotiation, inspections and survey work, title work, mineral rights and other legal paperwork, etc. Jenny guided us through the somewhat daunting process with an attention to detail and a patience that really made the entire process painless. If you are looking for a skilled, intelligent, caring and patient realtor to assist you with your home or land purchase or sale, I could not recommend Jenny enough. She is as good as it gets.” Britton B., Austin, TX

“Jenny is a one of a kind realtor, truly. We were first time home buyers at the start of our process and went through several other realtors before we found Jenny. Jenny was professional, prepared, but most importantly made us feel 100% comfortable every single time we met with her. She was extremely knowledgeable about the Austin market and the area we were looking in, and her insight on the building process of home we chose, especially during the inspection process, was outstanding. She worked hard to communicate what we wanted with our builders, helped us negotiate, and handled every situation that came up with incredible professionalism and urgency. We are so excited to move into our new home but will be sad to miss our meetups and chats with Jenny. She truly had our best interest in mind throughout the entire process and we couldn't be happier to have found her. We recommend her HIGHLY to anyone looking to buy a home. 5/5 stars!” Marcos D., Austin, TX

“As a first time home buyer, I knew very little about the buying process. Jenny went above and beyond in 3 areas-

1) Finding the right home for me-
I was looking for a comfortable home in an up and coming area that would double as an investment. Jenny has an extensive knowledge of the Austin area and is up to date on the neighborhoods that are seeing hyper growth/gentrification. She provided me with a direct MLS feed that was filtered to my preferences (2 bedroom, 1500+ Sqft, etc). We were able to find the house of my dreams within a couple weeks.

2) Negotiation/buying process-
Having someone on your side to navigate the buying process and negotiate on your behalf is key, especially in a market as hot as Austin. With Jenny on my team, I was able to get the best deal possible after some back and forth with the seller.

3) Closing-
Closing can be a stressful. As soon as I went under contract, Jenny sent me a "What to Expect When Closing" Guide that made every step of the process crystal clear. Inevitably, we ran into a couple speed bumps along the way, which she helped quickly resolve. The whole process was surprisingly smooth and quick.

All in all, I would recommend Jenny to anyone buying a home (regardless of it's your first or not). 10/10.” Andrew B., Austin, TX

“Jenny was fantastic. She was with us every step of the way. She was always one step ahead and we felt comfortable that everything was in her hands. She literally made our dreams come true!” Shannon P., Dripping Springs, TX

“Jenny Phillips is a hard working go-getter. Very polite, and stayed on top of all the issues that came up. You are fortunate to have her on your team.” Louis H., Austin, TX

“Jenny's enthusiasm and energy around our home search was wonderful! She made the process really fun, and was very patient with us. She was the one who ultimately found the house we chose, and we really appreciated her efforts!” Amy N., Austin, TX

“Jenny is awesome at her job! She was so patient with us as first-time homebuyers, made the search enjoyable and ultimately found us a home that checked all of our boxes!” Kelli G., Austin, TX

“I had gone online to find a mortgage company and pre-qualify. The mortgage company I selected recommended an agent but the person was terrible - never called when she said she would and didn't follow up with me. I told the mortgage company and they referred me to Jenny to replace the first failed recommendation. Jenny was great! I recently sold a property in Minnesota and was so disappointed in the performance of the agent. She was just in it for the money and never made we feel like she was looking out for my best interest. Jenny was the complete opposite and being new to Austin, it was critical to me that I had someone to help me with where I would be happiest. Jenny was so supportive through the whole process and made me feel like I was working with a friend and not someone getting paid to provide the service. She knew what to ask of sellers/builders to make sure I didn't miss anything. She was there every step of the way including home walk thru's and closing. She made sure I had what I needed and even contacted stakeholders on my behalf. Jenny is very knowledgeable about the process, which helped me feel more comfortable since I'm not very experienced.” Karen F., Cedar Park, TX

“Jenny Phillips was there any time we needed her to be at the property or just answer any questions we may have had. She worked with us on several tough issues that came up before the sale. Her professional advice was extremely helpful!” Karen W., Austin, TX
