Austin House Buyer — Local services in Austin

BUYER BEWARE:

i bought a duplex and it was terribly renovated by Robert Grunnah. we requested tons of repairs which he agreed to do and didnt hold up his end of the bargain. Post close of escrow we discovered: expose wires to the exterior lamp light ac didnt work upon move in, loose tiles that were cut but missing grout under parts of the floor duct vent was not fitted on water heater and gas lines incorrectly installed - the city red tagged the water heater due to risk of explosion! driveway slope basically traps water at the foundation of the house where there are cracks and water was leaking into the house plumbing fixtures sitting loose in the wall or filled in with goo oozing out from both sides- they didnt even bother to wipe the excess the fence was renewed only in the front only for curb appeal of the pictures and after 3 months has detached from its post and leaning against the house.

yes this was a lesson for me, more due diligence was needed on my part instead of relying on 'trusted' individuals but where's the integrity? we were marketed a turn key property. there is a reason flippers in real estate get a bad wrap and Robert Grunnah with Kensington Peavy LLC is another data point to support that reputation...

Robert Grunnah's company sent us a postcard expressing interest in a rent house our family partnership owned. We responded by calling the phone number on the card. Someone on Robert's team went to the house and our tenants showed him around. Almost immediately we were emailed a very acceptable offer - and it wouldn't require any repairs, closing costs or expenses of any sort on our part. Our only stipulation was that we wanted to wait to close until our tenants had had the time they needed to renovate a townhome they had recently bought so the closing date was initially set at a date which we all thought would give them plenty of time. Then the COVID-19 pandemic set in and delayed everything. Robert asked us to keep him updated, and we did so, and each time we needed an extension on the closing date, that request was immediately accommodated - in writing. Closing went seamlessly. The only amount taken out of the offered price was our share of the property taxes for this year - which is totally appropriate. Robert Grunnah and the team could not have been more professional or responsive. We highly...

I consider Robert & his team to be Magical Problem Solvers! Most of us do not enjoy selling our homes. We dislike the necessity of deciding whether to update the house for the sale, or bet that the buyer wants to have it done to their specifications.

We don't like betting on the market, rates, etc -- and live in fear of a slowing market.

We do not like showings that alter our life style & schedule.

We do not like betting on an agent and their level of commitment.

We do not like being unable to make plans for our new living space as we don't know when our home will sell.

We don't like paying large commissions to agents who may do less than expected to expedite a sale.

We could go on & on about the horrors of selling a house, but we don't need to. Robert & his team of magicians, erase these issues. Their process, with no commissions, no closing costs, no repairs, no showings and a fair and honest offer -- with closing in about ten days is MAGIC! We ran the numbers, and Robert and his TEAM won. We highly recommend them for your consideration.
