Testimonials

Read what our clients have to say about working with us.

"When selling a property and/or home a seller wants an agent who is detail oriented, has his client's best interest in mind and who is honest. Bob Tucker proved to be up to the task plus! He always made sure he was with the potential buyer to show details that might be overlooked and to answer any questions that might arise. This is unique in the real estate market in Fredericksburg. Getting me top dollar in a short amount of time proved he was paying attention to me as his client. I will recommend Bob Tucker as an agent for selling and/or buying property."

"Bob Tucker was my realtor when it came to buying my 25acre parcel. I have known Bob a few years, and when he told me he got licensed, I knew he was the best man for the job. We walked quite a few properties together. I told him what I was looking for, and he found multiple. Being a first time buyer of anything, I had no clue what I was doing. He guided me and helped me make the right choices. Then we found my place, he could tell right away I was very interested. He worked the best deal possible and I'm very happy with everything. For anyone looking for a great person with great skills, Bob is your man. He will work as hard as he can to make sure you are getting what you want. Thats just the type of man he is. "

"Oh, my gosh! If you’re looking for a broker and business owner who will put 100% of their personal effort into marketing your property, look no further than Michele Smith of Reata Ranch Realty. When she took my listing, Michele and her team rolled up their sleeves and got my property sold in no time. Michele is personable, honest, and extremely savvy in all aspects of her career: she knows her market inside/out and excels in contract negotiation. Do yourself a favor and trust Michele whether you’re buying or selling a property. I couldn’t be happier with what she did for me and am delighted to recommend Michele for her perseverance and excellence as a Realtor®."

"Rosie and I have purchased two ranch properties since moving to Texas six years ago. Michele Smith handled both transactions for us in a very professional manner. Michele did not waste our time looking at properties that didn't fit our criteria but more importantly, her attention to detail and her follow-through after we decided to make an offer was terrific. We have recommended Michele to others and would enthusiastically do so again."

"If you are needing a brokerage with agents who are landowner’s themselves to help you find a property we highly recommend Reata Ranch Realty. Our agent, Jack Williams not only gave us his perspective on the ranches we looked at but gave us advice on mortgage and investments. His prior experience and success in that industry really made us feel comfortable. He showed us properties on and off the public market and had a real connection with other land brokers. We ended up with the most beautiful plane and look forward to sharing it with our family. In our book, Jack is the best out there and we highly recommend using Reata Ranch Realty."

"We can’t throw enough accolades towards Reata Ranch Realty’s agent Darlene Dartez! She found us our home in Fredericksburg after a long search but she never stopped searching until she found us exactly what we wanted. We would have never found the home we have today if it weren’t for Darlene. Her knowledge of the homes, builders, and area was extremely reassuring."
