Wow, where do I even start with Stefan Benteler? In a market where homes seem to linger forever, he swooped in like a real estate superhero and SOLD my house in just 14 days!

Masterful. Negotiations? Nailed it. It was like having a best friend who also happens to be a real estate genius.

Stefan helped us get under contract on our dream property in under a week from our first showing. We worked with other realtors for over 18 months with no success of finding and getting under contract on a property, but Stefan moved quickly and professionally to help us close the deal. He and his team are top notch and a joy to work with. We'll be using him on future transactions and recommend him to all our neighbors!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (because 5 stars just isn’t enough)
Our experience with Stefan’s team—especially Jess—was nothing short of extraordinary. Just days before our home was set to hit the market, disaster struck: it flooded. We were devastated, overwhelmed by the thought of navigating contractors, water mitigation, renovations, and the maze of insurance red tape—all from out of state. But from the moment Jess stepped in, everything changed.
She did everything for us.
Jess took the reins and guided us step by step through every challenge. She didn’t just make phone calls—she made things happen. She coordinated with contractors, chased down updates, kept everyone on track, and advocated for us like it was her own home on the line. What should’ve taken three stressful months wrapped up in just over one, thanks to her unwavering commitment and fierce determination to get us to the finish line.
We never even had to come back. Jess handled it all—from choosing new flooring to managing subcontractors—and gave us total peace of mind every step of the way. She was our rock, and we will forever be grateful. Stefan, Jess, and BJ were not only incredibly professional, but deeply compassionate and fiercely dedicated. They judged the market perfectly, and in just one week, we had multiple strong offers. This was hands down the easiest real estate transaction we’ve ever experienced—all because of this rockstar team. If you’re anywhere near Dripping Springs, TX and need to buy or sell a home, do yourself a favor and call Stefan’s team. You will not regret it. Their heart, hustle, and expertise truly go above and beyond anything we could have hoped for.
Stefan’s team stepped in and walked us through every step from prep to closing the sale of our Dad’s home in Buda, Tx. BJ was a delight to work with, as she kept us on track handling the countless documents and updates throughout the process. Jessica had boots on the ground handling leads and communications until ultimately “hooking” a solid buyer so Stefan could negotiate the sale. Even during a slow market this Realty Austin team was able to find a buyer and close the deal in a reasonable amount of time. We wholeheartedly recommend Stefan to anyone wanting to buy or sell a property.
Working with Stefan was an absolute pleasure from start to finish.

What really stood out was his skill in negotiating a great deal—he went above and beyond to make sure we got the best possible price and terms. His guidance, responsiveness, and commitment gave us so much confidence throughout the process. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Stefan to anyone looking to buy in the Dripping Springs and Austin area. He’s simply the best!
