Testimonials

We were very happy with our realtor Maheen Baqai. She provided us outstanding advice on how to prepare our home for sale. She had beautifully illustrated advertising in place and promptly returned all phone calls. Having the largest and most expensive house in the neighborhood made it a challenging sale but she worked hard, illustrated a great understanding of contract details, negotiation etiquette and documentation. I would highly recommend her for any buyer or seller transaction in real estate world. We really appreciate everything she did for us and would hope to do business with her in the future as well.

Linda assisted us in all aspects of marketing our home including pricing, staging and promoting. She was thorough, professional and diligent throughout the process. Despite complications from the buyer's side, Linda managed to close in a smooth and timely manner

Shama was very helpful through the entire process of looking for and purchasing our home! She is responsive, knowledgeable, honest, and straight forward in her communications. She successfully guided us through the entire process, from the type of home to look for, where the better values are, and through the negotiation on the home we selected. I highly recommend her!

Linda Welsh is an excellent realtor professional. She went above and beyond in helping our family relocate to the Lake Travis area from Houston. She patiently showed us tons of homes and waterfront lots around the lake-we ended up buying a waterfront lot and building a home on it. The negotiation process was tuff and lengthy, but Linda did a fine job for us. Linda and her team also helped us in finding and securing a rental home near the property we ended up purchasing. I would strongly recommend that you call and visit with her if you are in the market for a realtor.

Alex helped us purchase our first home together and she is just wonderful! We've worked with other realtors in the past but none like Alex. She is so easy to work with and takes a genuine interest in making sure her clients needs and wants are fulfilled when looking for a home. It has been two years and we still keep in touch! She went above and beyond for us. Thanks so much, Alex!

We were looking to purchase a second home in Austin for our son to use while in graduate school at UT. We had less than a week to find a place and make an offer, and we had no idea how to go about it since we were not residents of Texas. Linda Welsh and Leo Welsh guided us through the whole process of determining the type of home we wanted, researching locations and prices, and negotiating a deal that we were happy with. From the first day, we felt like we were the only customer's that Linda and Leo were working with. They responded quickly and clearly, advised us about areas that they would consider safe enough for their own family to live in, assisted us with questions we had during inspection and financing of the home, and guided us through all the paperwork required to close the deal. They even helped us with recommendations for reliable contractors in the area to help us with some projects we were considering for the new home. We would recommend Linda and Leo very highly and hope to use them again when the time comes to sell
J TULISIAK

Linda is absolutely the best realtor we could have. She has worked tirelessly to sell our remote home. She is always upbeat and encouraging. We would recommend her to anyone selling a home anywhere. Jack and Gillian Hennessy

As a stager of luxury homes in the Austin area, I have worked with Shama on several occasions as a part of her staging and updating team. Her integrity, passion and knowledge are of the highest level. Communicating with Shama is such a pleasure. I have found her to be in tune with her clients and their needs. She knows what it takes to get a home sold and graciously guides her clients through the entire process. I would recommend Shama to anyone buying or selling a home.
GREGORY WILLIAMS
Leo and Linda did an excellent job of marketing our property. They did everything that they said they would do at the time of listing. They were also very available when discussions were needed. They were most accommodating of buyers as well--always providing speedy access to our property. On top of being professional, they are really great honest people.
A STEINBAUER
Linda not only helped me buy this home but has sold a home for me in a very difficult situation, helped me with interim rentals till we were able to locate this home. She is a tireless at helping, spends all the time and uses her contacts to get you through the whole process and spends all the time necessary regardless of location, time of day, day of week. Was practically never an issue. Very responsive to phone calls, e-mails and text. In the end, Linda and her husband want not just another client but a friend when the business is done.
A ANDERSON
The stress of buying, selling, and moving is unavoidable - but Shama is amazing and makes the process totally bearable. She is reliable, trust worthy, knowledgeable, and just an all around joy to work with. Her negotiation skills are top notch. I was so impressed with the way she handled the back and forth to get the most money in my pocket. Just BRILLIANT! I would use her again and again!
CHRISTINA BYRNE
We purchased a home through Linda and she also sold our home. Our home sold in 3 weeks and we got nearly the asking price. She did a terrific job on both sides of our transaction.
J MCMANUS
He was a great realtor, kept things lively, was looking out for our best interests, He would climb fences to check for roads and power lines, he was honest and flexible with our schedule.
LAUREN WILLIAMS
We have worked with many agents through the years and have done 17 real-estate transactions. Linda ranks right at the top of all of the agents that we have used. Very professional and knows the market very well. She recommends a price commensurate with the value of your home in addition to the area. She is not just interested in a quick transaction, instead works with her clients to understand their needs/expectations and works hard to meet or exceed those expectations. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone trying to sell or buy a home in Austin.
D MARMONTI
What can I say about Shama Dasi?! We just closed on our first home, and the experience was so much smoother than we expected. Shama did a GREAT job of being patient, understanding, and truly hearing what we wanted and over-delivering. When we had questions, she answered genuinely, honestly, and timely. One thing that I can’t be thankful enough for is how she educated us from start to finish - we dealt with realtors who didn’t, and we got so overwhelmed until we started working with Shama. She didn’t let us get ahead of ourselves and not only explained the home buying process but the WHY behind each step. She had great vendors, and took excellent care of us. Thank you, Shama!!!
KATHLEEN NEBEKER
My experience with Linda was absolutely wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and was able to answer every one of my questions in a timely manner. Linda took the time to get to know me and what I'm exactly looking for so that the actual house hunting was efficient and enjoyable. I could tell that she really cared and wanted me to be happy during the whole process. When it came to actually putting in an offer, it was amazing how quick she had the contract written up; it's like she never sleeps! From the time I first met Linda to many months after I moved in to my new house, she was there every step of the way to help me and to make sure I was happy. I highly recommend her!
S BADIYAN
Alex is the most incredible real estate agent I have ever worked with since I started investing in real estate. She is detail-oriented and extremely hard working. She helped me find the perfect tenants for my rental property. When it came time to sell she got me every penny I was asking for in the sale of my condo. She fought on my behalf with the builder in the purchase of our new home. I couldnt imagine being represented by a more trustworthy and thorough agent. I highly recommend her!

Linda - Thank you, thank you and, once again, Thank You - So sorry this is so late in getting to you! Long overde, but no less meant. Y'all are the best, and I know: I've told you this before, but really, THE BEST agents we have ever worked with! Will stay in touch,
MK MARMONTI
Shama helped me navigate the process of home buying last year, going to bat for me in a negotiation that turned complicated. If I didn’t have her patiently and tactfully advocating so strongly for my interests in that situation, I might have ended up with a bad investment. From there I pivoted to the buying of land on which to build, and she helped me with that process as well. Her negotiating skills got me a rare deal below listing price for the Austin market. I was very pleased with her clear professionalism throughout these experiences.
NICK BAXTER
Linda and Leo worked closely with our attorney, helped us purchase a new home, managed the staging of the residence and the visits, prepared marketing and disclosure material, organized and ran two auctions, fielded inquiries and screened offers, managed the exchange with our future buyers, and shepherded the difficult, risk-fraught process all the way to closing. They come highly recommended.
MH NEVILLE AND P DAMBOURNET
Shama was great to work with. She was knowledgeable and kind. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor! I got a great deal.
NANCY BEEKMAN
I hired Linda Welsh to help me with the sale or lease of my office building. From the very beginning, I found her to be extremely professional and highly knowledgeable. I own a small business, so selling an office building was a big deal to me. At every step, she made sure that all communication was in writing and everything documented properly between the buyer and seller. In this case, the sale had many difficult circumstances that she dealt with extreme professionalism. Linda and Leo were able to offer ideas and information because of their experience which helped the entire process. Even after the sale as we were still working through conditions of the sale, Linda was available to offer her opinion and advice. She and Leo truly care about their clients. They work very hard to make sure everything is very clear and that they get the best possible outcome for their clients.
KKS DESIGNS - C KLIER
In September of 2011, after selling our home in Washington, DC, we set our sights on Austin, TX and enlisted the services of Linda and Leo Welsh to help us find the perfect home here in The Hill Country of central Texas We could not have been more satisfied. Linda and Leo proved to not only be the most professional and knowledgeable real estate agents that we've ever worked with in our many corporate moves throughout the years, but also absolutely the most pleasant. Searching for a home can at times be a very trying and emotional experience. Linda & Leo were always energetically available with a never wavering positive outlook. In today's world of cyber realty, it's a real bonus to get both professional expertise along with genuine friendship like we've found here in Austin with Linda Welsh Realty. Thank you, Linda & Leo

DANIELA & ALEXANDRE A.
Ajit is great. We highly recommend him to all of our friends and family who are looking to purchase or sell their homes. He was always available (even while on vacation) and gave us lots of great advice and assistance through process. Thanks Ajit! We love our new home!
EMILY WAUGH
Shama is an amazing Realtor! She is a true professional, and it shows. I recently closed a deal with her and she was on top of every detail, every step of the way. Her client got a great price on their home, and we closed in less than 10 days! To say that her client was happy is an understatement! I would highly recommend hiring Shama as your agent.
FAWN CROSBY
Alex is an excellent real estate agent. She is the most dedicated agent I have worked with and I look forward to working with her again in the future when selling or buying investment properties. She will give you great guidance and help you negotiate the best contracts.

We were pleased with the services we received from Ajit. He was always available to answer any of our concerns.
DONALD TIBBETS
He was always flexible and kept me one step ahead in the whole process. It was very smooth from start to finish!
RASHEEDA PARMER
Our experience working with Ajit as our realtor in our search for our first home was great. He was patient, always available for showings, and to give advice, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and went out of his way to research any questions that were outside his general expertise (e.g. minutiae of home repair) He walked us through the entire process, including helping us with negotiations, and we were quite pleased with the results.
STEVE DICKER
Maheen Baqai is a professional real estate agent who understands the needs of her customers and suggests houses that are ideally suited for their needs. She helped me find and buy my house in spite of my various restrictions in less than 8 weeks under a sharp deadline. I needed a Vaastu appropriate house for a multigenerational family in a predetermined school zone and a decent budget within a week of when school started. Her flexibility, attention to detail, ability to negotiate and knowledge of the market make her an ideal agent to have working on your behalf.
