We were moving from SF Bay Area to Austin and were recommended Justyn LeFebvre from STRUB, and boy, it was one of the best decisions we have ever made. It was our first time buying a house and Justyn guided us through every step of the process, from finding a local lender (essential) to local insurance agents, and inspectors. He was brilliant at expertly and humorously fielding my wife’s hundreds of calls, texts, and FaceTimes. Justyn first suggested we fly in for a weekend to tour some properties and to meet face to face. While we didn’t get the one house we made an offer on, this was all Justyn needed to get a feel for us as people, the house we were looking for, and the neighborhoods we wanted. During the next few weeks, Justyn would FaceTime us, and send us video clips of houses we targeted through his email updates of the available houses. We had a great relationship with him, and we totally trusted his judgment with houses he thought were, or were not, right for us. After putting in several bids where we became the second-placed backup buyer, we landed a great house after Justyn recommended certain conditions in our offer. He mentioned that the whole team at STRUB Residential had meetings to discuss the crazy Austin market and ways to cut through the multiple offers and to become the winning bid. I assume the other STRUB agents have the same skill too. Where Justyn really excelled though was after we made the purchase. We were in Palm Springs on the first night of our Penske truck cross country caravan when the Great Texas Ice Freeze happened. He advised us to camp out longer in El Paso, while he organized for our empty house to be protected from pipe death. These were not the actions of an agent, but of a personal friend. When we did arrive the Sunday after the thaw, he was there to greet us with a great first-week care / welcome package, and a fantastic email that contained links to all of the services and contractors we would need, and instructions on how to set up our car and license in Texas. We could not recommend Justyn any more highly. I could not believe how he made our out-of-state house purchase so smooth, especially in this cutthroat market.

Strub Realty made our first time homebuying experience very easy. We relocated to Austin about a year ago and were looking to set down roots now that we have a better feel for the area. Strub was our first choice and we are glad that we chose them. It should be no surprise buying a house in 2020/2021 that the market was extremely competitive with some houses receiving an incredible amount of offers. Our Agent, Rosie, helped us navigate in making a competitive offer and we were done with our home search in record timing! Rosie was polite, accomodating and truly helped us from start to finish in this process, including checking in on us after the purchase was complete. She also continually provided us with recommendations for adjacent services like electricians and landscapers. She truly made us feel like we were part of her family. If you are in doubt, ask for Rosie, she will take care of you. Rosie, if you read this, you're the best! We'd never want to buy another house without you!

Rosie was our realtor at Strub Residential and we were so lucky to have her. As first time home buyers, she made the experience an absolute breeze for us. We ended up getting our second offer on a home accepted after just three weeks of searching. She knew exactly how to handle this multiple offer market and I strongly doubt we would have gotten it without her. She was a joy to communicate with and be around during our home search journey. We would highly recommend her!

Ashley Jaimeson exceeded all expectations in custom service, efficiency, personal attention, integrity, responsiveness and accuracy. She was the utmost professional throughout negotiations during a fast-paced sell of our home and the purchase of our dream property. Ashley was masterful in securing quality contractors to prepare our home for sale. She secured the highest quality stager, photographer, and lender too. In addition, two months after our move, Ashley checked on us throughout the frigid temperatures in February, assuring us that if we had any needs, she was available to help. We are grateful for Ashley and Strub Residential for a seamless transition from one home to the next.

I decided it was time to purchase my first house this past fall and so I was referred to Strub Residential by my friend. The team made me even more excited about the idea of buying a house so I couldn't wait to make it happen! Rosie worked with my diligently, taking me to dozens of houses so I could find the perfect one. I really had no idea what exactly I wanted in the beginning so by looking at so many different types, we really got to figure out exactly what I was looking for. Anytime that I would get down about the search during this competitive market, Rosie would reassure me that we would find the perfect one, and we did! Rosie helped me to make a very strong offer using all different techniques that really helped strengthen the offer package. I could not be happier with my new home and I am so grateful for all the time and effort that Rosie put into making this happen for me!

We worked with Patrick, From Strüb Residential, for 6 months, in a highly competitive market, to find our dream home. Throughout all of that time he was patient, keenly aware of our likes/dislikes, and didn't try to push us above our budget. There were times where he told us before seeing a house that we wouldn't like it and he was right! We are incredibly grateful to have found Patrick as our realtor and we would gladly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a new home.

Eric Pugatch at Strub is an absolutely amazing real estate professional! Always on your side, on time, and delivers what he promises! Knows the market, has great insights and guides you to a successful transaction. Highly recommended!

If you are looking for a realtor in the Austin area, one with a company behind him that supports him and you all the way, then look no further...Eric Pugatch at Strub Residential is your man. Moving back to Texas from California was a daunting task but one that Eric had also made in his past so he was intimately familiar with what we were going through. My wife and I of 32 years had spent most of our time in Houston and had always wanted to live in the hill country but simply had no knowledge of the neighborhoods or what to expect. Eric patiently and professionally showed us neighborhood after neighborhood and kept introducing us to new ideas until we fell in love but then we had to negotiate as our love came with a great price tag. We were building our dream home with a custom builder and as we progressed he kept pointing out things that we would never have seen. So much so that we ended up ending our dealings with our initial builder and going with another, and much better builder that has truly been a pleasure to work with. Eric could have kept quiet and made the easy sale but knew what he saw would not make us happy and that spoke volumes to us. He was referred to us by friends that moved here before us and we have referred him to other folks as well and will do so to anyone who asks. You won’t be disappointed.

Given how the world has been this past year and the market in Austin being crazy, we are beyond happy that we worked with Patrick to find our home. He is by far one of the best realtors I've ever worked with. He is extremely helpful and patient throughout the entire process. When we first moved to Austin he helped us find our rental, and a little over a year later he helped us find our perfect home.

If you are looking for a real estate guy to work with, Patrick is the guy. He is great at keeping the stress levels low and he is someone you keep as a friend.

I have had the pleasure of working with Eric for both a sale of a home and the purchase of a home a year later. Both of these home decisions were difficult for me as one was as I left an old life and the other was me stepping into my new life and the fear of doing that alone. Eric handled both situations exquisitely as he was there to schedule repairs to the house for sale, facilitated the repairs getting done so I didn’t have to leave work, and was just a sweet, caring guy who still got his job done well. For the home purchase he worked with me as I extended option period, got cold feet, and figured everything out that I needed to feel I had done my due diligence to accept such a large endeavor. He was there to guide me, listen to me(even when it was more therapy than selling the house), and kept the dynamic between us and the sellers positive. I pushed him to ask for things he thought were unwise, but we still did them. He gave me guidance on what he knew and referred me to the appropriate people when more technical information was needed. Overall, Eric is a great realtor to have as your partner. He wants the best for his clients, and I feel he truly takes pride in helping people get their lives situated as they want. I highly recommend Eric.

We worked with Justyn and he was amazing. This was our first time buying a house and he was super patient with all our questions and roamed all over Austin with us since we were undecided on any particular part of the town. He was very prompt with all paperwork during the purchase process and also with setting up inspections etc. I very highly recommend working with Justyn. You'll end up with a friend at the end of your house hunting process :)
