Bought a Single Family home in 2023 in Pflugerville, TX.
Chris is simply a fantastic realtor and person. He helped me purchase a new home from 1908 and to say it was a challenging purchase would be an understatement! He did an amazing job providing down to earth risk assessment and knowledgeable advice throughout the entire process, all with a smile, directness, and a positive attitude. I would highly recommend him for both buying and selling of a home.

Bought a Single Family home in 2023 in Georgetown, TX.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Chris Kirk, a fantastic real estate agent in the Austin, Texas area. Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process of buying our home. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable about the current real estate market conditions and provided us with valuable insights and guidance that helped us make informed decisions. He was always available to answer our questions and was very responsive to our needs. One of the things we appreciated most about Chris was his ability to recommend other professionals who were just as knowledgeable. From the lender to the house inspector, everyone Chris recommended was top-notch and helped us feel confident throughout the entire process. Overall, we were incredibly impressed with Chris's professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail. He made the home-buying process as stress-free as possible, and we are so grateful for his help. If you're looking for a real estate agent in the central Texas area, we highly recommend Chris Kirk. He is truly one of the best in the business, and we can't thank him enough!

Bought a Condo home in 2022 in Downtown, Austin, TX.
We used Chris Kirk to help us find our dream condo in downtown Austin. My husband and I live out of state full-time, but were looking for a second place in Austin. We were unsure of the areas and buildings, but Chris helped us navigate though all of it to find the perfect fit for our lifestyle. Chris made himself available every time we were in town and he and his team handled everything remotely once we submitted our offer. The whole closing process was easy and seamless. Questions were answered promptly and a lot of great recommendations were passed along to us. We have bought and sold a lot of real estate and this transaction was by far the easiest we have ever had!

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in Rosedale, Austin, TX.
We loved working with Chris Kirk. Being new to Austin, we were overwhelmed the differences in housing choices, and really came to depend on Chris' local knowledge. Chris really guided us through the process, and made great recommendations along the way. He was extremely responsive and we always felt like a priority. We ended up with a house we love, and Chris was able to negotiate a price we could agree on. I'm especially happy to have his tips on maintaining local properties, as well. Chris helped us look for a house in the Austin area and found an amazing property that we were going to close on in the North Austin area. Then at the last minute, work took us to San Antonio instead. Rather than ignoring us once we told him about our change of location, Chris pointed us to a great agent in San Antonio who helped us close on a new home this April. The entire time we worked with our new agent, Chris stayed in contact to see how things were going, from the time we started looking until we closed and even after. Even after we moved in, Chris made sure to reach out and see if there was anything he could help us with. All around professional and phenomenal guy!

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in Springbrook, Round rock, TX.
Chris Kirk has been working with us in the Austin area looking for a home for the past several months and was there working diligently every step of the way. From looking at and scheduling viewings and working with other relators and business to help get us what we wanted. Chris was always knowledgeable and compassionate with our needs and fears, and never once left us hanging and if he said he was going to do something or check on it, it was always taken care of. Communication was out standing and he always made sure we understood what was going on and was willing to answer any question we had. Chris was spot on with his readings of the market and finding us the right house for our needs. He really does treat you like family and to me there are no better hands to trust a very serious purchase to. Even after the purchase he is there to help and work with you and that is some amazing customer service.

Consulted me on buying or selling a home in TX 78669.
My husband and I are considering selling our house and purchasing a new one. We were referred to Chris last year by a friend who told us we would like him. That was the truth! Chris has given us very knowledgeable guidance in preparing our home to sell, without making us feel pressured to make a move until we are ready. He has been extremely responsive to our questions about other properties, and has quickly answered any questions we had, going out of his way to contact realtors in other communities around Texas and paving the way for us to view any property that caught our eye. He has also been diligent about looking out for properties that he thought we might be interested in.
We have been impressed with his knowledge, work ethic, and responsiveness.
We have found him to be a person of character and trustworthiness, and value his friendship and counsel.

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in Austin, TX.
Chris Kirk is the agent you want representing you in this aggressive Austin real estate market. He is highly responsive, communicative, and proactive. Every question we had was promptly answered with professionalism, before and even after, our purchase. Not only is he knowledgeable about real estate and Austin, but he is also personable (and has excellent restaurant recommendations!)
We absolutely trusted Chris to guide us through the onerous process of purchasing a home in a new-to-us city, and only wish we had met him earlier. We worked directly with him (he did not pass us off to assistants) and he really put in 110% effort. We would certainly work with him again in the future - highly recommend!

Chris has a strong passion for his craft. He is helpful, friendly and takes the time to explain the complex details of real estate purchasing in plain and easy to understand language. He is very knowledgeable of the Austin area and the markets therein. He is fast to respond to inquiries as well as quick to get the ball rolling on any actions we need to take. The Austin market is extraordinarily demanding, and Chris has what it takes to operate successfully in this environment. I would strongly recommend Chris to anyone interested in purchasing or selling a home.

Sold a Single Family home in 2021 in Austin, TX.
He kept me on track and helped smooth out all the bumps and headaches that come with selling a house. Always there when I need his advice. He was realistic on the market value of my home and did everything to get the most for my home. Thanks Chris!

When I asked Chris Kirk to assess my house’s value, I couldn’t believe all the work he put in or the presentation he made for me about my property! He was thorough, thoughtful, and he listened to my concerns about selling. Although I didn’t sell at the time, I called him when I was considering purchasing a property. Again, he was thorough and presented me with pros and cons. In the end, although he would have received profit from my purchase, he looked at the big picture and advised me not to go forward with the property. Chris is highly professional and I know I can call on him for his integrity and honest communications. As a retired person, I can also say he was mindful that my financial decisions are not necessarily the same as his younger clients. I strongly recommend Chris Kirk as your realtor. He’ll do right by you.
