Testimonials
At Austin Golf Course Communities and The Abbas Team, we're fortunate to have amazing clients. We work hard to exceed their expectations and earn their trust every day. Here's what they have to say.
Just one word, Haval is amazing. We would love to have Haval at any time and have already referred many clients to him. - Satya
Wow, where do we start? We’ve dealt with Haval on two sales and one purchase in the last couple of years, and he’s also brought us referrals for our custom home building business. Our previous opinions of Realtors in general was not good to put it mildly! Haval has been an absolute godsend in his counsel, experience, and "making it look easy." An outstanding negotiator and people-reader, as long as we’re buying, selling, and building in the Austin area, Haval is our guy! - Jeff and Natalie
Meeting Haval I knew he was the real estate person for my Husband and I. He is not pushy with this customers at all and he is very easy to get along sharing his very vast knowledge of the real estate market and of the homebuying experience. He is genuine and diligent about his work. I have also seen his interactions with other realtors out there and he shows consistent professionalism along with advocating for Ben and I when needed. I felt confident that we would find the right home with Haval guiding us. He is serious about his customers and it shows. We appreciate you Haval. Thank you so much from day 1 to the last day on our closing day. I will always refer Haval if someone I know needs his services. - Jessica Amezquita
We constructed a new home and this is our first. Haval is our realtor and any thing I say about him is very less. He guided us from the beginning to the end and was always available to our concerns and questions. Since we were new to building/ buying a house, we always had a ton of questions and doubts and oh man, what a professional he is.. Never ever I have seen him frustrated, amused at us. If I were a realtor, I knew I cannot do a job 25% like him. He became a friend, guide and family to us and we still take his help even for petty things. We are so happy to know him and would recommend any one/ every one to him. He just rocks... He is always on our side Thanks Haval for every thing you did for us. - Satish P.
From the very beginning, Haval built a productive relationship with me by proactively creating a win-win partnership. Every step of the way felt like a cohesive team working towards the same goal. Haval communicates effectively verbally and in my case and very importantly, in written format. Since I am currently in Bangkok, Thailand, we had a 12 hour time difference, and a lot of our communication took place via email which sometimes can be very difficult to build relationships or to communicate a message effectively. This never was a problem for us since his written communication was always clear and specific and always polite and considerate. As I mentioned earlier, I really did feel like this was a partnership and we were able to make sound decisions because we were aligned on the outcome and level of risk I wanted to take in negotiating a property. In the end, Haval delivered results in finding and negotiating this property.
There is no doubt that I will recommend Haval to friends and colleagues who are interested in moving to Austin. Realty Austin is very fortunate to have Haval representing the organization. - Martha Albritton

We have worked with our agent Haval Abbas in the purchase and sale of 3 homes. He is so personable, professional and in touch with the market in this area. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone who needs to either list or purchase a home. He works tirelessly to promote, advertise and show your home. The entire Realty Austin office are so professional. Besides being the ultimate agent, he is a pleasure to work with due to his warm personality. - Jane Bushell
We did our original purchase with Haval and it went great. We had to sell the home to relocate and had a short timeline. He was awesome! House sold day of MLS listing. He walked us through everything and was very prompt in answering all of our questions. - Robert Paul
My husband and I were looking to purchase our first home in Austin and got connected with Haval Abbas. We communicated through text initially to answer some basic questions and then he asked if he could give us a call. As soon as we spoke, we knew he was "the one." He was so down to earth, extremely knowledgeable and we could sense his expertise with every question he answered. Plus, his lighthearted sense of humor was key during the roller coaster that comes with buying a home. We kept flip-flopping on the area we wanted to live, and he was easygoing through it all. He knew it was our first time and walked us through every step of the way. We felt like we were indecisive but he never complained or rushed us. We knew we were in great hands! Once we found the house, we both loved, Haval kicked it into high gear and got all the background information and even reached out to the listing agent all while vacationing with his family. Start to finish; we had zero delays (every "speed bump" was handled quickly and with prompt communication). We were as naive as it came to buying a house and Haval educated us and gave us the best homebuying experience! While we are happy in our home, when the time comes for the next one, Haval will be our guy. We've recommended him to everyone we know, and for those who are looking who already have a Realtor, I quickly learned how blessed we were to have Haval because going over and beyond is just part of his DNA. We wish for nothing but the best for Haval and his team; it's a great group to work with! - Taylor C.
This is our third time being represented by Haval with a new purchase also in the works. Our first purchase was bought sight unseen after Haval spotted the gem. Having taken the time to really understand what we were looking for he was able to find us the perfect place. Our third transaction was the sale of the same home and the current review. His ability to see the future value in a property is amazing! He worked tirelessly through a few slow months on the market always remaining connected and relieving our anxiety. He then managed to negotiate a deal that was literally perfect for us. The best thing is that he negotiates in a manner that doesn't add unneeded stress for the client. He knows exactly how to handle the various personalities, cultures and egos involved in a sale. Our buyer was without an agent and Haval spent an enormous amount of time nurturing the deal by answering their numerous questions and odd requests, even staying up late into the night emailing them while on vacation to make sure we got it nailed down in time. You will not find a more adept, hardworking realtor with amazing integrity that you can trust implicitly to go to bat for you. I've recommended Haval many times over the past few years and frankly can't fathom why you'd use anyone else. - Shannon Anderson
A great realtor can be very difficult to find, but I was lucky enough to find Haval. Haval Abbas has helped me and my family buy and sell quite a few houses. Haval is motivated, has a great attitude, and is quite good at what he does. He is always working behind the scenes to get the best deal possible all the while making the entire process smooth and easy for his clients. - Natalie Tucker
Haval did an outstanding job in selling our house. He is very professional, responsive, responsible and amazing at his work. He is very knowledgeable and a great negotiator. We have worked with so many agents before but no one, no one can match his skills. Totally recommend him, best one in Austin area.

We looked around for a lot of Realtors and found Haval. I have to say that without a doubt he has been the best person anyone could ask for when is comes to buying or selling a home. Extremely knowledgeable and we will be using him again in the future. - Ben Chavez
It has been such a pleasure working with Haval. My mother is moving to Austin, so he actually helped us find two homes, one for her and one for us that we are currently building. We started working with Haval back in May before we moved from Minnesota to Austin. Since day one, he has been great! He got to know us, and would specialize searches or listings based on what he knew about us, not just our criteria. He's looked out for us along the way and helped us get acquainted to Austin. We are continuing to work with him on our own home that should close at the end of May (which will make it a year that we will have been working with him!). We are so lucky to have met Haval and have him work with us. We can only say good things! - Sarah & Jim Gagliardi
I truly enjoyed meeting, working, learning and ultimately moving into our house all with the absolute professionalism and friendship. I would recommend Haval to anybody new and old. We now consider Haval a friend of the family and will continue to stay in contact with him for years to come. - Brian McDonald
Haval was very helpful in helping us find the perfect house. I liked that Haval took the extra time to bring me into the Steiner Ranch Golf Club and introduced me to the manager, showed me the restaurants, gym, golfing area etc. Actually seeing the lifestyle helped enforce my decision to buy there. He also explained the school systems, the Austin real estate market and the lifestyle.
Haval also took the time to show me the lake and good resteraunts and pointed out areas convenient to shop. Since we are from out of state, he did the house inspection and when our financing took longer than we expected, he was creative in arranging for us to rent the house until the financing came through. Had he not thought of that idea, we wouldn't have the beautiful house we found. So we appreciate that. - Erin Duran

Haval was awesome! He made the selling process easy and was there to guide me through every step. He was always available to answer any of my questions and sent regular status updates. My home sold while I was on vacation and he took care of all the details. I didn't have to worry because I knew I had someone I trusted handling everything. If you are looking to sell your house, you need to contact Haval! - Gracie Barrera
We recently had to relocate to the Austin area and did not know where to start when it came to looking for a new home. Thankfully, I found Haval. From the very beginning he listened to our needs and preferences. He had a list of houses for me look over the day after we met. He worked to get to know us and figure out what area of North Austin and what type of house would best fit our needs. We only had one weekend to find a house. Haval cleared his schedule and spent the entire day driving us all around North Austin. We found a home that day! It was new and construction already in progress. The experience with the builder over the next few months would have been very difficult if not for Haval. He fought for us and kept the builder in line with all they had promised. He was there any time we needed him - day or night. He kept in constant contact with us through email and text. Because we were not in the Austin area while the house was being built, Haval would go by regularly and check on things for us. I don't know any other realtor that would go the extra mile like Haval did and continues to do. Just today, he called to check on us and see how everything is going. We closed 2 weeks ago and he is still following up. I not only look at Haval as our realtor but also as our friend. He is the one to ask for when moving to the Austin area. Thank you Haval! - Jennifer M.
Haval Abbas is a superb Realtor! He has helped us with several home sales and purchases over the years. He is professional, responsive and experienced, and best of all he is an excellent negotiator. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or purchase! - Maria Hughes
Haval Abbas was our realtor on a house we just moved in. He was extremely knowledgeable, humble, professional, and patient. Everything you need in a realtor these days. He never pressured us into buying a house, picking a lender, or anything else. Every piece of information he gave us (houses, pricing, communities, realtors, etc..) was worth knowing. I'd almost want to buy another house just to deal with him again. Worked with around 15 realtors in my lifetime. He is far and away the best, and we could not have asked for a better realtor. - Mohammad Nikpour
Haval has a way of making the home buying process seem effortless. He went above and beyond our expectations and I'm proud to call him my friend as well as realtor. - Afton Castello
We really appreciate the service that Haval provided to us! We are from out of state and didn't have a lot of time to search for a home. He was very instrumental in our purchase of our home dealing with the lender and the builder. I was truly thankful that he was there for our walk through he found things that I would have never noticed. He went out of his way to help us, and we are truly thankful for that. I would and will recommend him to others in our company that will be moving to Texas. - Tim & Alice Lewis
