"Dear Trulia, I found my Realtor, Betina Foreman, while using Trulia. She provided several answers in the Q&A section, and I decided she was the type of knowledgeable Realtor I could trust. What I didn't know was how incredibly dedicated and caring she would be. I was amazed at how hard she worked for us. She took my search for a new home as seriously as I did, and she went above and beyond to answer my questions and simplify the process. If every Realtor was as dedicated, hard-working, knowledgeable, and caring as Betina, the Realty profession would have an impeccable reputation. If I had it to do again, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Betina. I also recommend her whenever I hear someone looking for a Realtor to buy or sell their home. I hope you will feature and otherwise promote Betina Foreman to anyone searching for a new place to call home in the Austin area.  I'm writing to you because I wish everyone would have such a positive experience. I found a great Austin area Realtor; I just want to spread the word.

Regards, Jt. Hill "

 

"Betina was our agent when we placed our home in Austin on the market in 2008.  Not only is Betina our Realtor, she is our friend.  She was always very responsive to any questions or concerns that we had and phone calls or e-mails were always returned promptly in a friendly, helpful and professional manner.  Betina was aggressive in deciding our listing price, keeping in mind not to overprice our home.  Consequently, we sold our home very close to listing price in a very short period of time.  She was there to assist with inspections and provided us with sound counsel on issues that came up during the process.  All in all, we would recommend Betina to anyone selling their home.  She went beyond what one might expect in an Realtor in a professional manner." Nancy & Mike B.

 

 

"Betina asked lots of questions to help us narrow down exactly what we wanted and needed in our ideal home. Then she showed us several homes that were specifically selected to fit our needs in Zilker and Barton Hills. We love our new home and will absolutely use Betina again should we eventually decide to sell. Betina is a great Buyers Agent and she will do whatever is necessary to help you find the right house." - David H. 10 April 2015

 

 "I relocated after visiting Austin twice over the last ten years.  I found Betina in an open house and she took the time to answer all my questions about the neighborhood. Over the next four months I met with several Austin real estate agents.  None of them did what they said they would do, except for Betina. She sent me homes to look at every week and kept in touch with me for the four months it took to make the move. Having Betina as my Buyers Agent made my relocation to south Austin a smooth and simple process. While we drove around looking at homes, she told me some Austin history and trivia, so I  feel more like a native instead of a newcomer." Susan W.  June 2014
