Her guidance and feedback helped us tremendously as we navigated the sale of our home.”

A Texas native, Allison has called Central Austin and Westlake home since 1996.

In her spare time, you’ll find Allison and family out on Lake Austin or down on the sidelines of their children’s many sporting events. Her favorite hobbies are listening to live music, traveling, spending time out on Lake Austin and down at their home at Cinnamon Shore on the Texas Coast, along with cheering on the Longhorns and trying new restaurants. Allison has a deep appreciation for giving back to our community and loves volunteering with many organizations throughout the city.

Allison loves working throughout the greater Austin area, and mainly assists clients in the core neighborhoods of Austin & Westlake. She is happy to help her clients in other areas as well and will be frank if she is not seasoned in a certain neighborhood. Just ask!

Testimonials

Becca B.

We did our due diligence this time around on the home buying process and interviewed three different Realtors. We got connected to Allison Olson through a friend and were impressed from the start. She is always quick to respond and was very knowledgeable and experienced in the neighborhoods and price range we were looking for. She was also detail-oriented, professional, and a good fit for us. She helped guide us through everything seamlessly, and we found our dream home right away. I highly recommend connecting to her!

Shane & Casey M.

Our experience with Allison was nothing short of excellent. She was clear, concise, and transparent throughout the process. Her guidance and feedback helped us tremendously as we navigated the sale of our home. Her honest, candid, and data-driven conversations ensured we knew how things were trending and how we could make this a pleasant experience for both the buyers and us. We are incredibly lucky to have worked with Allison and would certainly recommend her to any of our friends and family as they look to buy/sell their homes.

Peter & Kathryn A.

Allison represented us when we bought our home in 2010 and again when we sold it in 2020. Allison did an amazing job of marketing our home, starting with a staging appointment followed by expert photography and ultimately getting our listing out to countless platforms as well as her own network. She was able to generate traffic and gather feedback that helped us to sell our home with multiple offers. We would happily work with Allison again.

Lori & Jason B.

Allison recently worked with us, both as our seller’s agent for our prior home in Avery Ranch and as our buyer’s agent for our new home in Westlake, and she was nothing short of exceptional in every facet. She was patient, thorough, and giving of her time. Her market analysis and opinion were spot on and noticeably deeper than a simple pull of the comps. One of the things we appreciated most about her was her approach. She did not try to drown us in her opinions or attempt in any way to make our search for our new home about her. She imparted her feedback purely as a guide when she could tell we needed it. When she could see we were stuck on something or had maybe overlooked an important component in a home, she tossed it into the discussion and then stepped back and let us talk it through. There was never a sense of pressure. We never felt like we were being handled or pushed. She was completely professional in every manner she could be, and then ultimately, she got our house sold quickly above asking, and she got us in a great new home that fit what we were looking for. We could not recommend Allison more and will certainly use her again when the time comes.

Alyson D.

When we first started looking for a home, my husband and I thought we could do it on our own. With the fast pace and the numerous neighborhoods of the Austin market, we quickly realized how wrong we were. Allison was a godsend. With her vast experience and wealth of knowledge of the area, we were able to make quick decisions with confidence. She guided us through every aspect of the home buying process and attended to every detail. Even as settled homeowners, she continues to check-in. If you are looking for a Realtor that leaves you with positive feelings and no regrets, Allison Olson is your person!

Ketang O.

It was very nice and easy to work with Allison. She was very helpful from the beginning of the house search to the closing of the house. Being remote, she helped a lot on many items - i.e., go over many documents, follow up with the builder, inspections, uploading photos/videos regularly, and other items. In the future, I will definitely recommend her to friends and family.

Pavi & Sandeep

Allison is very thorough and professional with a deep knowledge of the local market and home buying process. Allison’s depth of real estate knowledge extends easily to the technical details of construction, which was valuable to have as we went through buying a new construction townhome. Allison is very easy to talk to, and she is very on top of her communication, being available to chat at any hour. We really appreciate how Allison is on top of everything, and thankful for keeping us informed every step of the way.

Mike T.

My wife and I lived in Austin a while back and worked with Allison to purchase our first home in 2012. In 2014, my work took us overseas, and Allison worked with us on that sale. Early this year, we decided to relocate back to Austin, and the first thing we did was to reach out to see if Allison was available. We had such a great experience with her before that we knew in this crazy market. We had to work with her again. Being able to put your trust in someone to know they are looking out for your best interests is so important. We did the majority of our home search remotely from Nebraska via Facetime, and while we had lived in Austin before, we never really made it to the areas we were now searching in. Allison was so great and extremely flexible to help us navigate through the process, and we are so happy we were able to work with her again. We had to learn a lot about the new normal in the Austin market as we didn't have a lot of time to be searching. Allison consistently gave reliable guidance, and we really felt that she was looking out for us.Every time we have worked with Allison, she has certainly provided exemplary, personalized service that exceeded our expectations.

Angie M.

As usual, we had a great experience with Allison Olson! Hands-down the best realtor around she is extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and is fun to boot! Even in this crazy market, Allison made the process feel easy and stress-free. She helped us purchase our first home and has now helped us to purchase our second (which is our dream house). We recommend her to anyone who will listen!

Landon

I could not have been happier with Allison’s knowledge, support, attention to detail, and professionalism every step of the way. Alyssa and I interviewed a number of Realtor candidates, all friend/family referrals, and Allison really took the time to engage, made us feel completely comfortable to ask questions while having the confidence and experience we knew we needed as first-time buyers. She was patient with us throughout the search, giving us plenty of room to think through our preferences and refine our focus while jumping in actively anytime we wanted more information to help inform our process. We benefited from Allison’s reputation in the market and great network across all stakeholders in Austin. She helped us prepare a highly competitive offer for a new home, and kept us on track every step of the way through closing, which was as smooth as I could have hoped for. If we are in the market here in Austin again someday, whether buying, selling, or both, I could not imagine anyone else as our first call (assuming Allison would have us back as return clients!) And it would be a sincere privilege to recommend her without hesitation to any friends, family, or acquaintances looking for a trusted and highly capable agent here in town.

Debbie G.

I am happy to tell you how blessed I was to have Allison as my Realtor. She is so good at her job in so many ways. I always knew Allison was there to help me in every way. I enjoyed getting to know her as a person. We had so many laughs, but she understood how emotional this was for me, and she was understanding and kind. I felt comfortable asking any questions and trusted her advice. I would and have recommended her to friends of mine who consider moving to the Austin area. With Allison’s help and my daughter's help, I found the perfect house for me to make new memories.

John & Susan T.

Right now, as we are in the midst of this whole move from Virginia to Austin, I wouldn't have the time it would take me to even begin to adequately praise Allison Olson. I can't imagine that every customer she interacts with doesn't just gush on for pages and pages about all the kindness, patience, diligence, and care she brings to every interaction. Her professionalism and her expertise are unparalleled in my experience in real estate. Maybe in a few weeks, once this whirlwind we are involved in calms a bit, I could write more with examples. I can only warn you it would take hundreds of words to just recount the dozens, even scores, of times she has gone above and beyond what could have even been imagined, not to say expected. You are lucky to have her.

Tiffany W.

Allison was an absolute dream to work with. Her professionalism and expertise should be the industry standard. She answered every question with care and no detail was left unaddressed. By listening to her advice and coupled with her tailored marketing strategies, we had multiple offers within a weekend of the listing going live. Allison kept us well-informed of all the showings and compiled a comparative analysis to help us evaluate the competing offers. She was a thought partner in negotiations and we never felt pressured or rushed into making a decision. Even when we had a full-price offer in hand, her strategic advice to wait and set an offer deadline was the key to getting us a higher net offer. The property was a duplex with one side vacant and Allison’s level of service really shined when she took over tenant communications for us. She was empathic while being results-oriented, ensuring they were comfortable and aware of the entire process. Allison was also instrumental in connecting us to third-party contractors like plumbers and general repair vendors when we had surprise repairs needed with only a few days before closing. Even after closing, Allison checked in regularly to ensure the funds were received and to introduce the new owner to the existing tenants. Allison defines going above and beyond and we enthusiastically recommend her services!

Salina B.

I had to take a minute and gush about Allison! She helped me purchase my first home recently and I went above and beyond for me. I am so grateful for her. She helped educate and guide me every single step of the way. Answering texts and emails and calls as quickly as possible. We would spend 2 minutes walking a house sometimes and other times an hour and I always received the same warmth and encouragement. She made this process as easy as possible! She communicated with a team of individuals on my behalf almost daily. They were all so impressed with her quick responses, professionalism and her friendly disposition. We laughed together. We cried together. She helped make a very challenging season for me a joyful one. I can’t say enough super wonderful things about Allison.

Morgan M. & West M.

Allison Olson’s professionalism and expertise are unparalleled, and I truly believe we wouldn’t own our dream-house without her connections. Her knowledge, support, attention to detail, and reliable guidance made us feel she was looking out for us. She’s never pushy, and she’s always honest – she’d speak up if in our excitement we overlooked something important in a home (no closets). We were *incredibly* lucky to work with her, and we’d recommend Allison to everyone.

McKee M.

Allison isn't just an amazing realtor. She never stops being there for you, even after you close. From recommending remodeling contractors to pulling rental comps for investment properties, Allison shares her knowledge happily.

Jeffrey A.

Working with Allison was amazing. She was incredibly helpful, did a great job listening to our feedback, and ultimately she led us to make a purchase that we are very happy with. I can't recommend Allison enough!

Jack T.

Allison is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. She is a truly pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor.

Drew S.

I have personally known Allison for years, and watching her be an amazing realtor I always knew I would want her to help me find my first house one day. When my husband and I were ready to start looking for a house Allison was the first person we went to. She was quick to set us up looking for homes and was patient with our needs and questions. As first time home buyers, the process of looking, making an offer, and closing were nothing short of a great experience. Allison is extremely professional in what she does. She knows the market and has insight to important information a buyer may not think of themselves. She is key on detail and communication, which we greatly appreciated. You can 100% tell she loves what she does and wants her clients to be happy in their home. Once we quickly found an amazing house, Allison was there to help us jump on it right away. She helped us with our walkthroughs and guided us through the process of making an offer to ensure we could get the house we envisioned for our first home. I truly could not speak more highly of Allison. She made the whole experience of buying a home seamless and stress free! Moreland Properties, and any one else that crosses paths with Allison are extremely lucky!

Michelle C.

Allison is extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. She supported me through the behemoth task of getting my Mothers house ready to sell by staying in constant communication and providing tips and resources. I appreciate Allison and her professionalism and will gladly refer her to anyone looking to buy, sell, or lease.
