Shay Hargus - RE/MAX Austin Skyline

About

I am a native Texan and grew up in Abilene. I attended college at Hardin-Simmons University and received my degree in Communications. During my college years I worked as a director at the local CBS news station. As soon as I graduated, I knew I wanted to move to Austin, so I did just that. I moved to Austin in 1999 and worked at KVUE (ABC) for 2 years. While working at KVUE, I purchased my first home and became interested in home sales. So I decided then to make the career change to real estate.

I became a licensed real estate agent in 2001 and received my real estate broker's license in 2004. My interest in real estate began when I closed on the purchase of my own home. As a first time homebuyer, I was glad to have the professional assistance to walk me through the home buying process.

As a Realtor®, I always try to go beyond expectations to make sure my clients experience a smooth real estate transaction. Most of my business comes from referrals. For this reason, it is extremely important that I have satisfied clients. The best thank you to me is a referral from a past client of mine.

Areas of Expertise

I specialize in selling Austin, Texas real estate. I work extensively with buyers helping them find living arrangements that meet their needs and lifestyles. Your information is always kept strictly confidential. You will find me to be a careful listener, a sage advisor, a shrewd negotiator and very familiar with what is currently happening in the real estate market in Austin. I approach each transaction with dedication and integrity. As a buyers agent, I will work in partnership with each client to ensure his or her success.

Testimonials

Shay is fantastic plain and simple. For her to handle a client like me with the professionalism and patience she did is a testament in and of itself to the type of business woman she is as I am very particular, demand attention to detail and ask lots of questions. I am by no means an easy customer to work for, especially having been the seller in the tough housing market we are currently in. I've been through the home buying/selling process numerous times and Shay is by far the best I have ever worked with and as a result I'll never work with anyone else. Shay will handle all of my families future real estate needs. I recommend you let her handle your families as well. - Derek & Michelle Dimanoff

Shay went above and beyond what we expected from a Realtor. She worked diligently throughout the contract negotiations to ensure satisfactions by all parties involved. Working with Shay was a great experience and we are already recommending her to everyone in need of home. For us, Shay has not only become a trusted and competent Realtor, but a caring friend as well. - Miles and Andy Standish

I wanted to take a moment out of our unpacking time to thank you for all you did to help us find our wonderful home. A move from California to Texas is not an easy one but having a realtor like you there for us, in state we knew virtually nothing about, was a huge comfort for me, my wife, and my kids. We really appreciated your knowledge of the different areas, all the advice you gave us on the dos & dont's of Texas, and most of all your patience in helping us with our decision. You're a true asset to your profession. - The Forrest Family
