The Gentry Group @ Keller Williams Realty

What? Only five stars available? The Gentry Group definitely deserves at least 10! This was my first experience in selling and buying a brand new home on my own, and it simply could not have gone more smoothly. Not only do Gary and Mel have incredible expertise about the Austin housing market, they are also delightful to work with. Gary spent so much time with me making sure I considered everything I needed to evaluate in both the selling and buying processes. Their help in staging my home enabled me to have three contracts within 5 days of listing. And then there is Claire! I cannot think of enough superlatives to describe her work ethic. Some that come to mind are knowledgeable, helpful, diligent, kind and patient! She took care of all my questions and every issue that arose fro

We have known Gary and Mel Gentry since we purchased our first house in Austin in 1992. We have stayed in touch with them and they have provided us with guidance when we needed it. We recently decided to sell our home in Austin and we of course used The Gentry Group. They have a great team of people, especially Claire and Emily, as well as a network of contractors and businesses that made it easy to get the house ready to sell. They communicated with us through every step in the process and were always available for any questions we had. Unfortunately the first buyer fell through, but they were on top of things so quickly that they were able to get in contact with the buyer that had the second best offer and get them on board with the purchase of the house. If they hadn’t reacted so

We worked with The Gentry Group for both buying a new home and selling our old home, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Months before our home search started they prepared us for the process and ensured we were well informed at every step along the way. As the search was under way the COVID-19 pandemic hit, but The Gentry Group was well prepared and made adjustments immediately so that there was minimal impact to the overall process. They are truly professional, honest, responsive, and extremely well prepared. We made a decision on a new home less than a month after starting our search, and even more impressively, sold our old home within one week of listing it for sale.

Moving during pandemic times naturally had many trials but the professionalism of Larry Covert and Claire Camp of the Gentry Group found us the perfect Northwest Hills home and saved us tens of thousands of dollars in the process. Their strategy is to first find you a home with Larry and then negotiate for you with Claire while Gary guides the team with his decades of experience. Larry skillfully (and patiently) walked us through many homes over Zoom calls while we were still remote in the SF Bay Area. During those calls he offered knowledgeable insights from market trends to home repair and construction - he even performed a repair on closing day that the sellers contractor missed. During significant real estate uncertainty of the first few months of COVID19 he went boots-on-ground to u

My husband and I bought our first house in one of the toughest markets to date - 1Q2021 Austin, Tx. That took a lot of grit and determination from us, as low inventory meant multiple offers on every single house we looked at. We Could Not have done it without support and guidance from The Gentry Group. Our realtor, Larry, made it clear from day one that he was on our team, and not in a salesman kind of way. If any label must be used, I’d say he was more of a coach than anything. He built trust with us quickly, and gave us a thorough crash course on the home buying process. He set expectations for the market we were competing in: this was going to be hard. And it was. But because of Larry’s care and guidance, we were able to make informed, confident decisions when the ball was in o
