"As first time home buyers in an unprecedented market, we had the deck stacked against us. The only reason we were able find a home that we love is because of Bob. Bob was a true partner to us throughout the process, and his professionalism, market knowledge, skill, and advice was unbelievable. He truly cared about our family and got to know us, and he invested himself in finding a place that met our needs. Seller's agents knew and respected Bob, which gave us an advantage in negotiations. His diligence and strategic advice is what ultimately allowed us to be successful. Thank you Bob! We'll always be grateful to you."

"Bob was recommended to me by a colleague who moved to the Austin area from Los Angeles.
From the start Bob was accessible and helpful in every way. I was remote most of the time, and Bob was my eyes, noise and ears when visiting potential properties. In particular, he steered me away from two questionable properties that had great pictures otherwise. Despite of bidding wars on every property, we found and bought a good house. I will definitely seek Bob's help on my next real estate purchase."

"Bob McKenna went above and beyond what any realtor would normally do. He was professional, helpful, patient and resourceful with both the sale of my house and helping me find a new home. Not once, was he pushy nor did he try to persuade me to do anything, as my past realtors have. Bob and his wife and daughter were always willing to help with any questions or concerns I had along the way. I couldn’t imagine using any other realtor but Bob in the future.I am grateful to have met Bob, and feel lucky to have had such a professional person helping me with each step of the way in order sell my house."

"It was very easy and fun to work with Bob. He listened to what I was looking for and worked hard to find it. He was easy to get a hold of when I had questions and he made the negotiation process seem like a breeze. I’m very thankful for his educator program and his ability to work with my inflexible schedule at times. I’m very pleased with his services and how smoothly closing went. I will recommend him to all my friends and family and should I be in the market for a new home in the future I’m calling him. Thank you Bob!"

"There is just not enough time to sing the praises of Bob! We had such a short window to find a home that would work for our family and he helped us get it done! When we had problems with the lender, he stepped right up and helped us navigate this difficult situation. We got everything done and our family moved in! We are so grateful for bob and everything he did for our family!"

"I was in a very difficult position and had a very short window of time. Bob came through for me and my family with flying colors! He quickly created a matrix portal with homes in our desired area and price range and set up times to show us the homes. Once we identified the home we wanted, he ensured that all documents were provided to me and delivered the completed forms to the management company immediately. Regardless of your timeframe, urgent or not, Bob will attend to your needs. He is a true real estate professional!"

"Bob McKenna helped us look for a rental home over 2 years ago. We were living in WI and I could totally trust his opinion and feedback as he would view multiple homes in consideration. We used him again to purchase our house in Circle C. I also recommended him to my brother in law who purchased a home in Bastrop. Bob does his job very well and we highly recommend him."

"Bob had helped us find a rental home when we moved here from Ohio in 2016. Once we were ready to buy a year later, Bob helped us find a great property in Circle C. Due to a very poor lender experience (not a referral from Bob, lesson learned!), we were unable to purchase the home. We waited for another year, the entire time Bob checking in on us to make sure we were doing fine. Finally, with the help of a lender Bob recommended, we found the home of our dreams. Bob is sensational and I will always trust him with our real estate needs. Bob is a true professional and sticks with his customers through thick and thin."

"My wife and I have used Austin Real Estate Partners for all of our real estate transactions since moving to Austin almost 20 years ago. We would never consider using agent because Bob takes his time to understand your neighbor market trends and marries it up to what you are trying accomplish and under what time frame to give you a realistic plan to move forward. He is patient, thorough and responsive. You will definitely be in good hands and when you choose them to represent you interests."

"We have bought 9 houses and sold 7, to date I have never met another broker as kind and honest and transparent as Bob and Melinda are.
Extremely efficient .
He followed up on issues even after the closing, that shows his integrity and honesty.
He never ever pushed any property just for the fee. He negotiated the repairs cost better than I expected.
I would recommend him without any reservations.
Wish him all the best"

"Austin Real Estate Partners came highly recommended from a family member in rental property. We used them to find and purchase a home. When it came time to sell, we didn't consider anyone else. It was a great comfort to know they we were in experienced and knowledgeable hands.
The buyer was very particular. They made dozens of requests during the sale. What normally would have been a very stressful time, went very smoothly.
The staff seemed well trained, and very professional.
We have bought and sold homes in several states. I wish I could have used Bob McKenna/Austin Real estate Partners in every property transaction I have ever made."

"We have used Bob McKenna in the past and the service he provided to us then was the number one reason for selecting him again. In the prior transaction, Bob went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied and that we were well represented. It was not an easy transaction and Bob didn't rest until we were fully taken care of.
Bob was great at negotiating for our terms. He truly had our best interest in mind every step of the way. He treated us as friends and not just clients.
Bob's communication skills are stellar. Even when the other parties did not communicate well Bob continued to reach out to them and kept us informed of his actions every step of the way.
We felt confident in choosing Bob as our realtor and he didn't let us down. We will use him again in the future and will recommend him to all our family and friends.
Thanks Bob!"

"Working with Bob McKenna during the sale of my property was an excellent experience. Bob goes above and beyond in his professionalism by offering support and guidance with decision making and all the processes that one endures when selling a home. Emails and questions were continuously answered timely. The home was checked on routinely. Sale signs, marketing and networking through the process was extremely efficient on Bob's behalf. I would highly recommend Bob for the purchase or sale of any property and I anticipate on utilizing his services again in furture investment endeavors."

"We happened to be in the area for a few days and the fact that Bob, on very short notice, took the time to give us a quick lay of the land signaled to us that he was committed and would work with us to help compensate for the fact that we were cross country house hunting.
We were incredibly impressed with Bob's attention to detail, on-the-ground research into commute times (a key factor for us), referral to a remarkably thorough inspector (who saved us from buying a house with hugely costly hidden problems) and his all-around excellence throughout the entire process.
Bob very quickly understood our priorities and was thus able to accurately predict our reactions to various properties, a skill that became particularly useful when he later pre-screened dozens of houses in advance of our second house hunting visit. Bob is remarkably patient and cool-mannered, with a wonderful ability to distill the choices in front of us.
For his excellent work ethic, knowledge, communication skills, and manner, we highly recommend Bob and are so grateful that he was our guide through this process."
