combination of experience, integrity and intuition

"I have been buying and selling homes for over 40 years- some to live in and some as investments. Mark is the first REALTOR in all those years with the combination of experience, integrity and, most important, intuition to understand my needs. He has the ability to sort through available properties or clients as to not waste time on mismatched and fruitless offers. Mark has been my REALTOR for years. In those years he has assisted me with sales and purchases of our family home and investment property. He is, bar none, the BEST. Forever Grateful,"
— Larry Bucher, Buyer - Seller - Investor

REALTOR who can excel no matter what the market is like

"Mark Strüb is the best of the best. I've used him to sell a house, buy a house, rent a house, and research the market - and in every single situation he has provided me with excellent service and insightful advice. 


He's the kind of realtor who can excel no matter what the market is like, because he's: 1. Brilliant and creative 2. Extremely personable and friendly 3. Unbelievably hard-working. 


I've recommended Mark to everyone I know, and once they start working with him, I inevitably get a message saying, 'Where did you find this guy? He's amazing!' etc. Every. Time."

a ton of knowledge of the city

Mark did an awesome job for us. We had limited time to find a home in Austin and Mark went above and beyond to find us exactly what we were looking for. In less than a week he showed us many homes throughout Austin and honed in quickly on the areas and homes that we really liked. He spent time after hours (and before hours) to accommodate our limited timeline. We have now lived in our home for a year and couldn't be happier with it. Mark approached our search with professionalism, a ton of knowledge of the city and with impressive efficiency. After our purchase Mark has been a great resource for any questions we have had and has done a great job following up with us to be sure we are happy with our new home. Also, Mark has been very helpful in helping us locate possible investment opportunities in the form of rental properties. Our experience with Mark was fantastic and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell homes or properties in Austin.

really gets people and helps them find THE ONE

My husband and I have used Strub Residental to purchase a primary home and investment property.

Over the past two years Strub Residential has help my husband and me find our home and our first investment property. We first dealt with Mark. We moved to Austin from Iowa and not only did Mark find us our eventual home, but he also took the time to look at apartments and helped us find temporary housing while we were house hunting. Mark is unassuming and laid back, but really gets people and helps them find THE ONE. Mark really made the process painless and demonstrated an immense amount of patience, knowledge of Austin and the different neighborhoods and ability to be upfront while dealing with two newbies who were nervous and distrustful of the whole process. He never made us feel ridiculous or stupid, even with our numerous questions and requests. My husband is somewhat of a demanding type, and Mark handled him with ease. When we decided to enter the investment property arena we of course knew we would use Strub Residential again. Christy worked us and at first we were nervous because a) we had already built a working relationship with Mark and b) we knew she was newly minted realtor. She proved our fears unfounded, helping us to find the perfect rental property and going above and beyond to set up inspections, meet with inspectors and get the property on listed for rent before we even closed. Christy is detailed, eager and really seems to enjoy what she does. Both Mark and Christy have the ability to make a business relationship feel like you're working with friends. They also really get that the key to a successful business is service and that service doesn't end when you sign on the dotted line. We plan on purchasing many more properties with Strub Residential.

Impressive customer service and great communication

Worked with Mark on too many transactions to count. He's really organized and dedicated to his clients. Makes for a smooth real estate process every time. Impressive customer service and great communication. Doesn't leave anyone hanging. Highly recommended.

— Dana Price-Leaman, Mortgage Professional

worked very close with me

Mark Strub listed my condominium and was diligent, professional, and very thorough in his communication with me through the entire process. Mark also worked very close with me to see that it was priced appropriately in order to attract the strongest buyer.

— Randall Harrelson, Investor

competent, fair, respectful, and did a great job

Mark represented a buyer when I sold my house FSBO. He was competent, fair, respectful, and did a great job for his client. He stood out among the floods of bad realtors that a FSBO tends to attract. Since then I have consulted with Mark several times on real estate questions and he has always courteously and promptly responded every time. I have recommended him to several people and they have always been satisfied with his services and professionalism.

— Ross Henderson, Seller - Investor

'got' us and understood our wants and needs

"Here is the thing - we really felt that Mark 'got' us and understood our wants and needs immediately, even though they were 'not average' and our wish list changed over the course of weeks. Since we were buying in a city we do not know well, it was even more important to have someone who really knew the area's trends and prices. Mark is smart, energetic and knowledgeable. Good work!" 

— Mark + Sheila, Buyer, Investor

way beyond my expectations

"Mark made the possibility of purchasing a house a reality. I am an out-of-state real estate investor and had many concerns about the whole process. Mark went way beyond my expectations with his duties to make sure I was well informed and confident about my purchase. He was able to fill in many times when I was not able to be present. If it wasn't for his assistance and knowledge, I would not have felt comfortable enough to invest out of state. As an investor in real estate I am interested in finding the perfect location in the perfect market. Austin, TX was on my list, but that was the extent of my knowledge. Mark knew the layout of the area and which neighborhood was due for the best appreciation. This is knowledge that comes from experience and research. His advice has been a big success."
— David Dumble, Investor

easy to work with, trustworthy and an advocate

"Mark Strub has been my Texas "REALTOR of Choice" since deciding to enter into real estate in Austin and the surrounding areas. With so many REALTORS to select from, Mark stood out with his local knowledge of the market and most of all, his true dedication to the industry in which he serves. As an out of state investor, it was of paramount importance I find a professional whom I could trust and certainly found that in Mark. He is easy to work with, trustworthy and an advocate for his clients.
Thanks, Mark!"
— Linda Kirkpatrick, Investor

would never use anyone else

"Mark helped me buy my second house. Not only did he bust his buns to find me a house, but he picked me up from work and drove me around to check houses out. The situation with my house was a bit different because the sellers were living out of the country and the time difference made things a bit difficult, but Mark stayed on it and I got the house. He really listened and was able to find me the perfect house. It was only the second house he showed me and it needed some work, but we all knew from the moment we walked in that it was the one. He was also able to set me up with a great lender, and had many references for me to start my remodel. We closed fast considering the situation with the sellers not being in the country and he sat with me at closing and made sure nothing was over looked. My experience was so great that I would never use anyone else, and have since recommended many other people.

Mark has also gone out of his way to help me out with a rental property that went bad due to really lousy tenants. Which I am happy to say am about to be out from under in a matter of days. Yeah Mark!"
— Havalah Winslow, Buyer - Investor

high energy, considerate and intelligent approach

"This is not the first home I've bought, by a long shot, as I am over 50, and have worked with REALTORS at home in Arizona in the past, several times, with both good and bad experiences. We were looking for a small home for my daughter as she is attending graduate school at UT. I looked at many internet sites for an Austin REALTOR, made phone calls, and sent email. Mark was immediately responsive and was very knowledgeable about the Austin market, understanding exactly what we wanted, which was convenience to the university, safety, value, convenience to shopping and services, and an ability for the property to appreciate in value. He sent us frequent updates by email of available properties, and responded immediately to questions about neighborhoods and property values. We visited Austin for a long weekend, saw many properties, most of which would have worked for us, and left Austin having put in an offer, with some second and third choices. We ended up with our first choice home, in which my daughter is now happily living.
Mark was a very responsive REALTOR, answering inquiries immediately and adapting himself to our changing perceptions of what we wanted in Austin, a city we had never even visited. He assisted us in every aspect of the purchase of this home, from initial familiarization with the city of Austin and the market, to the search for a specific home, to the actual negotiations and closing (with very difficult, elderly, out of country sellers), to locating workmen for remodeling, and information on where best to purchase furnishings and Austin services. His high energy, considerate, and intelligent approach made this experience uniformly positive. He is definitely one of the best REALTORS I have encountered. Feel free to contact me for a reference."
— Mickey Levendusky, Buyer

can be relied on to do exactly what he says he will do

 “Mark is a very conscientious agent who quickly grasps what his customer wants and does a super job making that a reality. He can be relied on to do exactly what he says he will do.”
— Mike Robbins, Seller - Investor

never pressured me

"I worked with Mark for four months back in 2005 searching for my first investment property. I was pretty picky. He never pressured me to buy something that wouldn't be profitable. We sold it this past summer. Mark priced it just right and gave me excellent advice on what to fix up, and what not to, before listing it. Mark's knowledge of real estate, and especially the Austin market, make both buying and selling the house painless. I plan to use Mark's services in future real estate deals."
— Steve Wampler, Buyer, Seller, Investor

ability to think out of the box with confidence and skill

"I have worked with Mark on a number of projects and every one has been a learning experience for me. Some transactions have required a good amount of patience, agility and most importantly, creativity. Mark's ability to think out of the box with confidence and skill has made him an indispensable tool for navigating Austin's real estate market.
Thanks, Mark."
— Pliny Reynolds, Buyer, Seller, Investor

will always give his name and highest recommendation

"I put in calls to several REALTORS when I began looking for property. Mark was the first to call back and had a website up for me with properties that met my criteria before anyone else even called back. He was on top of every question during the search and was very helpful in keeping the negotiations on an even keel after I found what I wanted. I will always give his name and the highest recommendation to anyone who is wanting to buy or sell property."
— Claudia Oney, Investor

listened to what I was trying to accomplish and guided me down the road

"Mark and I met on the Internet while I was surfing for investment property to remodel. Over the past two years we have worked together to sell and purchase two houses. Throughout the long arduous process to decide whether to remodel or to sell a home that I had owned for over 10 years, Mark was continually helpful and above all patient. He provided me with extensive information so that I could make an educated decision. He was positive minded and always up-beat. He listened to what I was trying to accomplish and guided me down the road towards a profitable decision.
Once the decision was made to either purchase or sell the home, he was efficient and thorough with completing the financial process.
I would recommend Mark Strub to anyone, especially my mom."
