Testimonials

"We had the pleasure of working with Brian both selling our home and purchasing our new home. Having never sold a home before, we did not fully understand the effort and work needed to become listing ready. Brian could not have been a better partner to guide us through this journey, providing insights and recommendations that we never considered. Coupled with Brian’s experience and knowledge of the Austin area, our home was on / off the market in less than a week (& within one month of having our introduction call with Brian). Selling our home first in this process, and so quickly, was a huge win and immediately gave us confidence in Brian. Shortly after selling, we were fortunate to go under contract for a new home. We could not have been happier to sell / buy within such a short period of time. However, the inspection came back with significant concerns that needed to be addressed. Within 12 hours, Brian translated the inspection report findings into a cost analysis output, detailing the financial effort needed to move forward. This data made it clear that we needed to move on, but it was at this point that we realized the significant value of the partnership that Brian provides. He takes a relational vs transactional approach to his work, understanding that a new home is one of the biggest decisions made in life. We ended up finding and closing on a different home a month later, concluding the entire sell / buy process in less than 3 months. Looking back, this process was a much bigger lift and more exhausting than I ever imagined. However, working with a true partner as a realtor allowed us to achieve our goal - we are forever grateful to Brian in helping us achieve our goal!"

"Working with Brian was an excellent experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and always had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all of our questions, kept us informed every step of the way, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We especially appreciated his honesty, professionalism, and attention to detail. Whether it was navigating negotiations or offering helpful advice, Brian consistently went above and beyond. We always felt confident knowing he was looking out for us. We would highly recommend Brian to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We're so grateful for all of his hard work and couldn't be happier with the experience!"
Sarah and David

He guided us through every step, from prepping the house to negotiating the final offer, always keeping our best interests front and center. Communication was excellent: clear, timely, and proactive. We always felt informed and confident throughout the process. Most importantly, Brian genuinely cared about making the experience smooth and stress-free.

Ron & Deborah Huff
"We’ve had the pleasure of working with Brian Talley at Regent Property Group on four separate transactions—selling two homes and buying two homes—and we couldn’t be more impressed with his expertise and service. Brian’s deep knowledge of the market, trends, and pricing made every step of the process smooth and stress-free. His custom valuation algorithm provided us with accurate home values, helping us make informed decisions. He’s a master negotiator, always advocating for our best interests, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about his clients. What also sets Brian apart are his fantastic relationships with vendors for any situation—whether we needed a handyman, plumber, or pool expert, he had reliable recommendations ready to go. His dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail have made him our go-to real estate agent, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
John and Amber Anderson
"When we decided to move from Abilene to the Austin Metro area to get closer to our children and grandsons, we received a referral for Brian Talley from a trusted work associate. We can say that Brian was the right choice for us in finding our new home and new neighborhood. Brian's educational videos are a great guide to the home-buying process. He and Monica Parker in his group toured us through neighborhoods and homes from April to our final decision in June. Brian then attentively guided us through the closing process with several weekly conversations until we closed at the end of July. Throughout the process, Brian and Monica demonstrated a deep knowledge of the neighborhoods we explored. They gave sound evaluations of the homes and really guided us to the right house. Brian's closing experience and regular communication made the process much less stressful. We are thankful to Brian, Monica, and the other folks at the Regent Property Group."
Jodie and Tamara McGaughey
"Brian's expert knowledge and approach to selling a home was streamlined from the very beginning to close. Buying and selling in the market today is a tough one but he navigated a quick timeline, pushed excellent marketing, to get our house sold with multiple offers, and over asking price!"
M Hansen
"In June, I made the decision to actively seek out a realtor to sell our home. I had to convince my wife that the timing was right after many years of thinking about it. We wanted a realtor that had experience and SUCCESS in the Westlake/Eanes market. I narrowed my search down to a handful of brokers and began looking through as many properties sold, testimonials, credentials, biographies and industry news articles as I could find. I wasn't looking to find a new friend but rather someone who had a sober, determined approach who would fight for us. Most importantly, I wanted someone who had the knowledge of the market in our area and could advise us on what we didn't know along the many stages of the sale. From experience with three previous homes, I knew that there are critical moments when you can make big mistakes that cost you leverage, flexibility and money. During my research, I kept circling back to Brian Talley and Regent Property Group. We settled on Brian and his team and it has been an excellent experience. We were able to find the exact buyer we needed to get the best offer and the most flexible terms we could have imagined. We built much of our house and landscape over 27 years and raised our family there, so there was a good deal of emotions to manage. Brian provided the calm, reasoned guidance we were looking for. He pulled back when he needed to but pushed us forward when he sensed an opportunity. Brian was always available to answer questions and give support, even when he was on vacation with his family. He has remained a source of advice even after the close as we have relocated to a new city. My wife and I have a good deal of experience renovating and buying/selling homes over the last 30 plus years. We strive to hire people who bring quality to the table and earn their pay. We feel great about our decision to hire Brian Talley and Regent Property Group and I think others will as well. Brian has earned our recommendation. "
Greg Mele
"Brian Talley was a phenomenal realtor who made our first-time home buying experience in Austin seamless and enjoyable. Moving from out of state, my husband and I were understandably nervous about navigating a new housing market. We began chatting with Brian several months before our move, and his exceptional communication and dedication put us at ease even from afar. Despite not being in Austin yet, Brian kept us well-informed and promptly addressed all our concerns. Upon our arrival, we were astounded by how quickly things fell into place. In just one week, we found a home we loved and went under contract. Throughout the entire process, Brian's expertise was evident. His deep understanding of the Austin housing market, keen ability to identify homes that perfectly matched our needs, and his meticulous guidance through every step of closing were invaluable. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. Whether you are a first-time buyer, new to Austin, or a longtime resident, we wholeheartedly recommend Brian and the Regent Property Group. His commitment to his clients and his exceptional service truly set him apart."
Paulo and Maria
"When we decided to make the move from the Bay Area in California to Austin, our close friends recommended Brian to us. With all the challenges of buying a house from afar we knew it would be tough, but Brian was a great partner in the process. The result was we found an incredible house and secured the competitive deal in the tight window of time that we had to buy. Brian and his staff were very helpful navigating a first time home buyer with very particular tastes. One area to highlight where Brian really excelled was getting the deal done. It is one thing to find the right house, but it is another to get your offer accepted and close. As Murphy’s Law dictates, the perfect house came up while Brian was away on a family vacation to Costa Rica. Despite him caravanning through the jungle, he was very committed and responsive to making sure we won a highly competitive deal that had multiple strong offers. He was very direct and straightforward about what we’d likely have to do to win the deal without ever pressuring us to take more risk than we were comfortable with. Had we not listened to one piece of advice we very likely would have lost the deal and with his guidance the closing process all worked out without any major issues. Bottom-line, Brian knows the market, he's committed to his clients, and he’s well networked to find you want you want. In a pinch, he’ll be there for you when you need him most."
Patrick & Elizabeth McBrearty
"Our experience with Brian Talley of Regent Property Group on the recent sale of our home was the definition of “full service” & effectiveness. He provided guidance on house prep & staging, leveraged technology & social media extensively, held conference calls to go through all the details with pros/cons of our 4 offers (all at list price or higher!!), provided solid references for repair work, led us through the offer to closing process, & all the while kept an appropriate level of communication with us on every step. We highly recommend Brian! "
Berri & Andy Rushing
"I just closed my second transaction in 16 months with Brian. I enjoyed working with him initially on the opposite side of the transaction. I knew I wanted to hire him to represent me the second time around. I have now used him as both buyer and sellers representative. His attention to detail and ability to always keep the deal moving forward is second to none. Brian has excellent market knowledge and will advise you as if he was the buyer or seller. Brian will always be on my short list of real estate professionals going forward."
Rob S.
"We were so lucky to have Brian as our agent. Being new to Austin, I needed someone who has in-depth knowledge of neighborhoods (Tarrytown and West Lake in my case), years of experience, professionalism and a kind heart. In the beginning of the process, he patiently educated us to different neighborhoods and homes, by showing multiple homes over many days. After we chose a home, he became a tough negotiator on our behalf. He is also very well- connected with the local real estate community. Let Brian take care of you, you won't regret it!"
Philippa Song
"Brian is a truly talented realtor. When you start the process of buying a house you have no idea how many detail there are to keep track of. Brian understands the process inside and out and has a bunch of videos to watch so you can self-educate throughout the process. When it came to negotiating and making decisions, Brian is very helpful at making quick, rational decisions on the spot. It just makes the process so much easier to take a lot of the emotion out of it and get through to the other side. All in all, we feel that we sold out house for a fair price and bought our house at a fair price. It was a little tricky since we bought our house first and then sold but it all worked out and Brian is a pro who has done it all before. "
Dylan & Amanda Ewers
"Wow, what a journey home buying can be. Fortunately, we had Brian graciously and attentively guide us throughout the way. There was never a moment where he neglected our questions or concerns, giving us a professional yet personable perspective we truly valued being newcomers to Austin. We ended up buying a home that we adore and that fits our current and future needs perfectly. He was diligent during the search, purchasing and closing and never failed to stand by us when we needed him. We're so grateful Brian was our Realtor, and wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend him!"
Mason Bonar and Frances Kim
"When buying a house in an area you've never been to and know nothing about, it's crucial to have a reliable, dependable Realtor to help you navigate the buying process. Brian was extremely responsive; he was diligent with follow-through and was our trusted agent here in Austin while we were negotiating our home sale from Boston. I honestly don't know how we would have managed to get everything done without Brian's help. Brian took the time to get to know us and our needs, guided us to a nice variety of homes, honestly pointed out the pros and cons of each and then helped us negotiate the deal in a very competitive market. As experienced home buyers, we can honestly recommend Brian Talley and Regent Property Group for anyone relocating to the Austin area."
Richard & Caryn Puccio
"I’ve worked with many realtors over the years and Brian Talley was hands down the best. He’s hard working, diligent and detail-oriented. Most impressive was how far reaching and comprehensive his marketing strategies were. Brian is a talented negotiator and extremely thorough when reviewing contract deals. A true professional, there’s a good reason Brian is so successful."
Lukas Bouvrie
"Brian Talley helped us find an ideal home in the Zilker area. We were looking for a small space for our son that we could later convert to a rental when he moves on. We had looked for quite a while with no success until Brian tapped his network of contacts and a property popped up before it was on the market. We loved its Austin vibe and put it under contract that day. This is the third property Brian has assisted us with since we moved here 9 years ago. He's very knowledgeable on all areas of the city as well as school districts, views and anything else you could be searching for. He handled just about every aspect of our first purchase because I was out of town with my business and my family had not yet moved. Very much the full service friend to this day."
Barry & Laura Smith
"Brian was referred to us by a colleague and came highly recommended and after working with Brian ourselves we would highly recommended him as well. We are out of state movers that had very little knowledge of the Austin area and the Austin real estate market. Brian was very thorough in making sure we knew about how the Austin real estate market was trending and helped us navigate a very competitive market. He was very supportive and spent a lot of time helping us find the right home and made sure that we were able to get a solid deal. We are very excited to call Austin our new home and very thankful to Brian for helping us make that happen!"
