Micheal was a dream to work with! It’s clear he has this process down and was able to help us not only find our dream house, he helped us understand how to do it efficiently and laid out timelines and expectations for each step. I would recommend Micheal if you’re ready to make moves and find what you want. He’s incredibly positive and knowledgeable, and made the whole thing feel stress free.

I worked with Michael since 2015. He helped me find my first house here in Pflugerville before I move from New York in 2017. I trusted Michael and his teammate Amy. Michael and Amy are both trustworthy and hardworking. I highly recommend these two to do Real State matters for you!👍

We’ve worked with many realtors to know that Michael and his team are pros. His team is fast, efficient and savvy about the Austin area. We were moving from out of state and had a very tight timeline of less than 45 days to find a place and close - over the winter holidays as well. The pressure was on! Michael helped us quickly identify and analyze potential properties based on our requirements; we did remote tours via video where he would walk through the house and show us what we needed to see to decide on properties to bid on. As we were unable to visit Texas in person before moving, we trusted Michael and his team to be our eyes and ears. The market even in December was competitive and after many offers, and several negotiations we closed and were able to move in before the new year!

I've known Michael Estes for over 11 years. I needed to sell a home I had in Austin, he was very straight forward, never sugar Coates anything. Sold my home in 6 days over asking. Since then, due to a cancer diagnosis, I wanted to make investments to insure I could have security. I've never known a Real Estate agent so knowledgeable, Michael has helped me feel very secure in my future. If you want an experienced and knowledgeable Real Estate broker there is no one better than Michael Estes.

We have worked with Michael and his team since 2009! He helped us find our first house, then assisted us in selling our first home a decade later and buying a larger home for our needs, and now he is making our selling process for our second home super easy because we decided to expand our family with newborn twins! He is like our family and we used him for every step in the real estate process. He is awesome, attentive, responsive and has a team to do the make ready process super easy and quick! We will miss him when we move out of state soon! Come check out our home feet from Milburn Park and personally the best neighborhood in the area! Walking distance to the high school, middle school, Sprouts, and delicious sushi!

This was my first real estate sale, and I was nervous and wanted to make sure I sold the property at a good price. Being a single mom with a full time job and having to sell a home, is as stressful as it sounds.
I had an agent who gave me an estimated sale of 300,000. Then
I came across Micheal as a recommendation, he guarantee he can get me more than 300k, he put a plan in place with timeline of listing date. And he did, he took care of it all. Everything went as plan, and within 3 days of listing, I received an offer, which was 150k over the other agents estimated amount. Micheal and his team paid for the updates that needed to be done to get top dollar!!
This has been the smoothest business deal I've ever done. They made it happen for me, and now I can relax and enjoy $$$ 😊 Thank you so much Micheal!!!

We met Michael in 2014. On his business card we noticed the moxie: printed under his name, his motto clamored ever so quietly . . . “I want to be your realtor for life”. He didn’t undersell. Michael delivers. No matter if you’re looking to buy or sell, make Michael your realtor. He listens. He picks up the phone. He knows Austin and he’s shrewd. Thanks to Michael we live in our dream home. Years later, Michael marketed and sold my rental for WAY more money than I ever imagined in 4 DAYS. He’s that good and he's just the kind of starter you’ll want on YOUR team. Oh! Don’t get me started on the equally THERE FOR YOU professionals on his team: you won’t find better.

My brother and I decided to start investing in real estate a few years ago, and a friend suggested I connect with Michael at Trend Real Estate. Being a new real estate investor, we discussed our goals and how to achieve them. He was clear and concise. Michael purchased an investment property, made the property ready for new tenants, found the new tenants, and then sold us the property at a cap rate to exceed Austin’s average, but it doesn't stop there, he also manages the property for us! He currently manages two properties, and I have one or two more properties he will be managing soon.

We could not be happier with our purchases and the services that Michael and his team have provided. The project has been hassle free, were already cash flow positive, and we see more purchases coming soon. Michael is just terrific! If you’re looking to invest in real estate in the greater Austin area, you can’t go wrong with Michael Estes and Trend Real Estate.

As a new investor, Michael Estes Broker with Trend Real Estate, made the process of becoming an investor, one of clarity and transparency. Michael went out of his way to find the property, purchase the property, complete any necessary make ready, find tenants, manage the property and then sell the property to me at a cap rate that exceeds the Market average in Austin.

They are constantly buying properties for rental, flips, and development we could not be happier with our 2 purchases and are excited for our 3rd.

This was our first home buying experience. We were referred from my brother and sister in law.

Michael’s combination of patience, home knowledge, and assertiveness is unmatched. If you want that home and a bidding war is on you want him on your side. He is the Leonidas embodied -

“Spartans, Ready Your Breakfast And Eat Hardy, For Tonight We Dine In Hell!” Is the bid battle cry for earlier arrival.

My fiancé and I recommend this handsome human for your next or first home buying Odyssey!

I am very happy working with Michael Estes again, on purchasing my second home that just closed in March 2022 and especially in this crazy housing market. He negotiated really well on my behave. Any questions or concerns I had, Michael was there to help me. Even after my home closing, he is helping me with my renovations to make my home even better to suit my needs and also having my 1st home into a rental. Micheal is a one stop shop for everything. I will be working with him again in the future for my 3rd home purchase.

We bought our first home with E team. Our experience was divine. We went in scared after hearing about all of the awful first time home buying experiences our friends had. Michael was a dream come true. He walked us through every single step, explained all of the fees and other monetary issues UP FRONT. We did this before we even signed on to use him. When we went house hunting, we saw more homes than our friends using the competition did. He was patient and never pushy. He would tell us if something was off about a house .. Again very upfront about everything. When we signed our paperwork we felt great about the entire process and since then he has helped many of our friends become home owners. Not only does he have the know how, but he knows all about Austin and every area in town; Which came in handy when we were looking at a house that was actually built on the old dump(we didnt by the house btw). Great people! The best, hands down! We will be using them to buy or sell for the rest of our lives!

We are loyal customers that have worked closely with Michael over the past 6 years. He helped us buy a beautiful starter home soon after we married and his commitment to us didn't stop there. He stayed in touch with us over the years providing helpful tips for first time homeowners, as well as taking time to meet with us yearly to discuss our short and long term goals. Just recently we decided we were ready to move, he proved to be instrumental in selling our home and finding a home to meet our needs. Thanks to him, the process was a breeze! we look forward to working with him again in the near future. If you want to work with an agent that knows the market and gets to know your needs, Michael will get you where you want to be!

Michael was recommended by a good friend when we were ready to sell our condo and buy a house. He came to our home, sat down with us and devised a plan that would help us meet our timeline and budget. He took the time and made suggestions within our budget to ensure our condo was ready to sell. Our condo was sold in 2 days for asking price! Michael was thorough and available the entire time we looked for our new home. When we were unable to locate a home that worked for us, we decided to build a new house. Michael continued to help us through the process. I would definitely recommend Michael and his team to anyone needing a realtor. He is focused on his clients and works hard to meet their goals. He continues to be a resource for us!

From start to finish, we had a great experience with Michael and his team. Everyone was willing to pitch in to get us quick answers and show us homes. We began looking at houses with Michael in late November and just closed on our first home Jan 5th - which I feel like is a great turn-around. We would definitely use them again without hesitation.

Thank you guys!!
