Knowledgeable, experienced and always willing to help at all times. Best of the best
We moved to the Austin area from Oregon for work, and buying a house from 2,000 miles away is exactly as stressful as it sounds. Doug made it manageable. He knew the difference between neighborhoods that look similar on Zillow but aren't — commute, terrain, school zoning, HOA situation — and he was straight with us when a house didn't fit rather than just trying to get us to an offer. Where he really earned it was on price. We had a hard budget and he didn't waste our time on listings above it. On the home we bought, he read the seller's position accurately and negotiated us a number we were genuinely happy with. He also handled the long-distance logistics — walkthroughs, video tours, inspection coordination. We closed and our family is settled. Would recommend him to anyone relocating here.
Janette was the perfect real estate agent for me. She has lots of experience and put it to great use to help me in the sale of my home. I even feel I gained a friend along the way!
Working with Janette was such a pleasure! Her attention to detail and responsiveness is exactly what we were hoping for in a Realtor. This was our first deal with Janette, but it definitely won't be our last.
We had such a great experience working with Janette and Doug with Friend Team. From day one, they were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all our questions no matter how small, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Their knowledge of the market was impressive, and we always felt confident knowing we had someone so detail-oriented and proactive on our side. They were honest, patient, and truly listened to what we wanted, which made all the difference. Beyond their expertise, they were simply a pleasure to work with kind, responsive, and always looking out for our best interests. We’re so grateful for their guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home. You won’t find someone more dedicated or trustworthy!
Our daughter and son-in-law have known Janette Friend-Harrington and her husband Doug Harrington for eighteen years. During this time, each real estate move our kids made was handled professionally by these dear folks. Of course when it was time to sell my home it was to Janette I turned. We had purchased this home years before through the oversight of Doug. Now again as a client I received focused attention, wise guidance, and professional care. I can say with confidence that Janette Friend-Harrington is a person of integrity. Beyond that she knows what she is doing in representing her clients in the real estate market. I readily recommend her to anyone desiring professional help in the sale of their home.
Appreciated Janettes professionalism, attentiveness and willingness to communicate. She on top of this transaction to completion.
Janette studied the market and then came up with a suggested market price for our home. She actually suggested a higher price then any other broker. With listed at that price and within 2 weeks we had an exceptable offer and sale. Great follow up .
