Go With a Realtor Who Knows Austin!

Hi, I'm Ames, thank you for visiting my website! Due to my reputation for success, knowledge, perseverance & integrity I was approached by the HGTV Network to appear on their show, "Good Buy, Bad Buy" as a top real estate expert.

I've been with Keller Williams Realty for over ten years and my clientele includes: Filmmakers, Military Personnel, a Senator, Recording Artists, Newlyweds, Retirees, even the Grandson to a former President of the United States! But the majority of my clientele consists of Families, and all the wonderfully diverse combinations they come in!

I relocated my family to Austin from Southern California in order to give my young daughters a greener, friendlier, cleaner, artsy & cultured place to live with great public schools and less expensive housing. The amazing music & festival scene was a wonderful bonus! As a result, I have practical knowledge and firsthand insight into the transition of relocation, if that is what you have in mind. Whether you are ready to buy or prefer to lease at first, I will make it as efficient and painless as possible! (I will even make you laugh during the process!)

Looking for great schools or a location near your job? Close to the action or a peaceful view of the woods from your back porch? Whether you're downsizing or expanding your family, I will be with you every step of the way.

My aggressive sales techniques have allowed me to sell every listing in less than 30 days! I often hear about properties before they hit the market, giving my buyers a nice head start!

I want to be your Realtor. I will listen to your real estate needs carefully and then I will work exhaustively on your behalf until you're happy.

  Testimonials- Good Things are Said About Ames!

Ames Schroeder is smart, loyal and she gets it done. It took my wife and me over a year to find the house we wanted, and she stayed with us, giving us all the right information, never pressuring us into a sale we weren't 100% on. She's there when we need her and she knows when to back off when we needed time to consider things alone as a couple (a lot of realtors don't get this and are constantly in your face). Also, come sale time, she's like a hawk on all the details. Every email and phone call is returned within 15 minutes and she's always up for (in my case) first time buyer idiot questions. And, beyond that, she's actually become a friend of ours because she's sweet and fun to hang out with. You can't go wrong with this one.

We met Ames one Sunday when we were just starting to look for a house in south Austin. She was hosting an Open House and it was one of the many that we had stopped at that day. We started talking, she is very easy to talk to, and as we talked, she wanted to know what we were looking for in a house and where we would like that house to be. Ames was very clear that if we already had a realtor, she didn't want to step in, but if we didn't, she would like a chance to see what she could find for us. We left our e-mail address with her. By the time we got home that evening we had a very nice message from Ames and a list of houses that she thought we might be interested in viewing. Things only went up from there. We met and viewed houses with Ames for the next two weeks. Ames had new listings for us nearly every day. With hard work, some luck, and ingenuity by Ames, she came up with a house that met all of our wants and requirements. However, when she realized that our perfect house was not on the market, she thought outside the box and then personally approached the owners to see if they would be interested in selling and they were! We bought our house after about a month of working with Ames. The closing was smooth and hassle free, with Ames guiding us through it all. We have, and would not hesitate to recommend Ames The Realtor for either buying or selling your home.

Ames Schroeder gave us more than just a home; she helped us start a business. My three partners and I put our resources together and with Ames's help, we bought a multi-million dollar triplex and became first time homeowners and investment property managers at the same time :) Not only are we able to live in a home we love, but one that provides us with an income too! Ames walked us through every step personally. She was always available for our "dumb" questions and yet never made us feel dumb for asking them. She's warm, funny and has amazing integrity. We trusted her immediately and continue to refer her to all of our friends and family without hesitation.

Ames is an extremely hard worker. She listened closely to what my needs were in searching for a home and went straight to work exploring all the available options and found what was best for me and my family. As a first time home buyer the whole process can be a bit scary but Ames held my hand through every step of the escrow. Her guidance, knowledge and efforts made the whole process smooth and easy from my perspective. Looking back on it all, I wouldn't want it any other way.

I am a single mother of a toddler and a dog, so I needed a safe, but reasonably priced, neighborhood. Ames listened to all of my needs, took me seriously, and worked her tail off to help me find a condo that met all of my criteria, and then some. She stayed in constant contact with me, met with me when I needed her to, and listened over and over again about what I needed. Ames cares, which is more than I can say for most realtors that are just out to make a buck. I would recommend her to anyone; she is the best.

Ames has been nothing short of fabulous. Within 30 minutes of speaking with Ames about my interest in purchasing real estate, she had five great listings, all in budget, emailed to me so I could begin the process of buying my new home. She was punctual in all transactions, meetings and never made me feel rushed when signing documents or asking questions. Ames made the often grueling task of finding a new home a hopeful, exciting and pleasurable experience. I was kept up to date throughout the entire process. Even after escrow closed, Ames followed up to make sure I was still pleased with my purchase. I am thrilled with my new home. Ames was able to really listen to my purchase criteria and match me to a property that fit all of my geographical, functional and financial needs. Ames has the unique ability to be both professional yet personable. Not only did Ames manage to get the sellers to include a brand new washer/dryer in the sale, I was able to purchase my new home under the listed price!
