What Elicia's Clients are Saying...

"Elicia recently helped my wife and I find and purchase a home. Up until now I had only heard stories from friends and neighbors about how amazing Elicia is. I'm now glad to provide a firsthand testimonial. To say that Elicia is an expert is to put it mildly. We didn't want the big personality and flashy car real estate agent. We hired experience and it paid off in spades."

"When we were moving out of Austin for relocation reason, we had big concern that our house in Steiner Ranch wouldn´t get sold for long time due to the market condition. Because of Elicia, our concern became completely unwarranted. Having her as our listing agent turned out to be one of the best decisions we have made in our lives. Thanks to her deep market knowledge, long time experience and broad client base, we got an offer even before the house was listed on the market! Then she worked flawlessly with our relocation company to close the deal within 2 weeks! The whole process (with us out of the town) went smoothly from the beginning to the end without a hitch!

Thank you, Elicia! You are simply THE BEST!"

"Elicia is the most tenacious, professional, smart realtor I know. Does her homework, prepares a strategy and then makes it happen without fail. I used her on one home, will use her again and highly recommend her to anyone."

-Steve Anthony

"Elicia Gower successfully marketed and sold our Steiner Ranch home during an extremely difficult time in Austin real estate.

While interviewing Elicia for the job, my wife and I were immediately impressed with Elicia's extensive and detailed knowledge of competitive properties and market trends. She managed our expectations well with respect to pricing our home, and coached us through the necessary preparations that our home needed to get ready for sale.

Elicia is a talented negotiator who simultaneously defended our positions and counseled us on reasonable concessions that led to the sale of our home. I am pleased to say that our home sold for the highest price per square foot among similar homes in Steiner Ranch during 2011. Elicia was instrumental in making that happen."

-Tom & Jennifer Healy

"Dear Elicia,

Thank you for your help with selling our home.  It was difficulty and you made it possible - especially with us out of state.  It was a pleasure.  Funny that we never met in person.  All the Best!"

-Andi & Shawn Good

"Thank you so much for all of your hard work!!  We were so Happy to get it sold.
And we really enjoyed working with you. Thank you again for everything!!"

"Dear Elicia,

Maria and I would like to thank you for all the hard work you put in selling our home and trying to find us a new home.

In the slow winter real estate season, you provided us with hope and encouraged us to be optimistic. We really appreciate your attention to every detail, and even painting the kitchen when we refused :-)

At the end of this long process, we ended up with a great new home at a great price, and a new friend. Once again, thank you!"

"After living in our Steiner Ranch home for the past 10 years, we were ready to make a change.  We knew selling a home in this economic climate would be difficult.  We were very concerned as other homes on our street had been on the market for an extremely long time and had not sold.  The prices of the few homes that did sell were drastically reduced.  We were very worried what this would do to the selling price of our house and the appraisal value.

 

We interviewed several realtors and chose Elicia after her presentation proved her knowledge of the real estate world, and Steiner Ranch in particular, to be extraordinary.

 

Elicia gave us great information and helped us decide exactly what to do and when to do it to give us the best opportunity.

 

Elicia´s marketing approach worked wonders as we received an offer within 8 days of listing our home.  Elicia did not stop there.  She continually worked with the buyer´s realtor and when it came time for the appraisal, the detailed information she provided to the appraiser insured our home would appraise at or above our contracted price.

 

Elicia´s expertise gave us the edge we needed over other homes for sale in our neighborhood.  And, she stood by us throughout the entire process.

 

We highly recommend Elicia to anyone selling or buying a home.  She is our realtor, as well as our new family friend."

We hired Elicia to sell our home in the Steiner Ranch area of Austin.  Our sale was quite tricky, because we had to go out of town for 1 month just after listing with her.  We received an offer on our home in just 3 short weeks.  We were excited about the offer, but concerned that there was going to be issues since we were out of town.  Our concerns ended up being completely unwarranted.  Elicia walked us through all of the negotiation processes, paperwork, inspections, and repairs without a hitch.  The only thing we had to do was show up at the closing table and move our belongings out of the house."

"My company moved to Austin in May 2009. I had never seen the town, had no idea where to start looking and most pressing, didn´t have a lot of time to find a place to live. Elicia was recommended by a friend and went right to work for me.

She asked the right questions to begin honing my search; made suggestions from her data base and research to recommend neighborhoods and lifestyle that stayed within my price range; and did all of the homework I couldn´t do from two time zones and 1,500 miles away.  On top of that, she stayed incredibly positive and had a very professional habit of promptly returning my phone calls and E-mails In sum, she eased a very stressful situation and I couldn´t ask more from my new address.

Because of Elicia, I found the right place to live and the right REALTOR to call when I´m ready to move up."

-Matt Andersen
Austin, Texas

"Elicia was instrumental in helping us make a complex cross-country move from Pittsburgh to Austin. From selecting the neighborhoods in Austin that would best suit our family´s lifestyle and children´s educational needs, providing key insights into market conditions; to providing detailed assessments of each home we showed interest in, she managed the entire process through offer through negotiation to closing.

Throughout the course of the many ups and downs typical of the home purchasing process, Elicia´s proactive approach, attention to detail, professionalism, positive attitude, negotiating expertise and market experience helped not only find the right home for us with ease , but actually move in and settle into a new city  in less than 30 days.

I recommend Elicia wholeheartedly and without any reservations. If you are considering selling or buying your home, Elicia should be your first and last call."

"
When we decided to sell our home, we knew the biggest decision we would make would be choosing the right realtor.  Elicia Rudberg had the market knowledge and long term experience that we were looking for.  And she proved it by selling our home over asking price in only 10 days - for 10% more than we paid a year ago.  We cannot thank you enough Elicia!"


-Michael and Dina Molyneux
Steiner Ranch
Austin, Texas


"Elicia was invaluable as my agent and helped me sell my house (at a good price) despite a challenging market. Her guidance on everything from pricing to getting the house ready was smart and helpful. I also appreciated her strong attention to details that went beyond the core selling process - such as helping with interactions with suppliers following the inspection process or helping me with moving details. I would highly recommend her for anybody seeking to purchase or sell a home - particularly in the Steiner Ranch area, which she is intimately familiar with."

-Bernie Charland

"Elicia, thank you so much for your able assistance with the purchase of my new home in Steiner Ranch.  Your patience with all my many questions was greatly appreciated.  All through the process I felt very confident with both your knowledge of the area and my home in particular, as well as your expertise as a Realtor.  You left no loose ends whatsoever and you are my new shining star!  Your attention to detail and follow up even after closing have been invaluable to me.  I truly hope I have a need to use you as my Realtor again.  I would heartily recommend you to anyone in the market for a new home."

"I have known Elicia Gower [Rudberg] for several years, and was delighted to be able to use her expertise in real estate to sell my condominium in Redondo Beach. From the moment that I told her of my intention to sell, she began to advise and educate me on the local market.  She constructed an information packet specific to my unit, and provided me with the knowledge I would need to arrive at a reasonable starting price.  Her advice on small improvements to my home (such as new bathroom faucets) made my condo more attractive to potential buyers, at minimal cost to me.  Elicia arranged for a housekeeping service to clean my home, followed by a professional photo shoot of my condo, and after looking at the flyer she prepared, I was ready to pay full price for my own place!  Best of all, Elicia was constantly in touch with me, updating me on the progress of the sale of my unit and keeping me apprised of the status of the local real estate market in general.  She used her seemingly unending amount of energy to call potential interested buyers, hold open houses, and follow up with realtors who had previewed the property.  Without Elicia I am convinced that I would not have been able to sell as quickly as I did.  And perhaps most importantly, I made an 80% profit and got 99% of my original asking price!  Elicia took a potentially stressful event and made it into an easy, profitable one.  If you're planning on selling or buying a home, Elicia Gower is the girl you want!"

"We first met Elicia in 2001 at an open house that she was hosting. She'd made chocolate chip cookies for the occasion and I knew right then that she was the perfect realtor to help my husband and me find the house of our dreams in Hermosa Beach. She knows the real estate industry like the back of her hand, she's smart, honest and has a tremendous amount of integrity. She made buying our home almost effortless, and that's why, three years later, we didn't hesitate to have Elicia sell our home for us when we decided to move out of state. Elicia worked tirelessly to sell our home and did a fantastic job. She was always available to answer any questions we had, she fixed any problems that arose and truly went above and beyond what we ever would have expected from a realtor. She was a pleasure to work with, and in addition to being a dynamo realtor, we're very pleased to call Elicia a good friend."

"After buying a new house we decided to sell our condo in Brookside Village, Redondo Beach. We knew the market was hot and our condo was pretty attractive, so we thought that (a) selling the condo by owner would be easy enough and (b) it would save us a lot of money. Both assumptions were totally wrong. After about a month we were not able to get a single offer, even though the price $542,000 was a bit below  market level and we agreed to pay 2.5% commission to any agent who brought a buyer. During this time tons of agents insistently offered us their service and promised to sell our property. But only one agent - Elicia Gower [Rudberg] - came into trying to take nothing. Instead, she gave us some good advice, recommended that we visit her internet site, and left.  Fortunately, we did follow her recommendations. The site was full of useful information and Elicia's attitude impressed us from the first minute. So we asked her to be our agent and never regretted it. She was professional, smart, honest, dynamic, adaptive, delicate and efficient. She sold our property for $556,000. As a result after paying commissions we made $8,000 more then it would be if we had successfully sold the condo by owner!! Next time we buy or sell a property we will have no hesitation in choosing the right strategy and calling Elicia immediately."

Thankful clients,

"My husband and I would like to take this opportunity to commend Elicia Gower [Rudberg] on her superb handling of our real estate transaction.  Without her real estate knowledge and attention to detail, our purchase in Torrance would not have been possible.  Elicia followed up on every aspect of our transaction to be sure that it was handled in a timely manner and also kept us informed along the way.  She answered countless phone calls and questions efficiently and professionally.  We would highly recommend Elicia Gower as a Realtor for anyone buying or selling a property.  She is extremely knowledgeable, conscientious and pleasant to work with."


-Rodney & Eileen Hanners

 "Although I have known Elicia for many years, this was the first time I had the opportunity to deal with her on a professional level.  The experience was very positive and I would highly recommend her to others in need of excellent real estate services.  She handled the sale of my condo in Torrance in record time and secured top dollar for my property.  Before listing my house, she went through the condo very carefully and recommended repairs, etc., that needed to be done and she even arranged for a cleaning service. She was available on several occasions to meet the various inspectors at my condo, which allowed me to concentrate on packing and moving.  She was always reachable by phone and kept me advised of the progress of the transaction and thoroughly explained all of the documents required.  Through her, a very competent escrow company was used whose fees were moderate and paperwork flow impeccable. The entire process was extremely quick and painless and I give full credit to Elicia.  She is a very bright, energetic and detail-oriented professional whom I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone needing the services of a realtor."

"Elicia's dedication to my transaction from day one was refreshing. I knew that I was in good hands and was confident of her knowledge and skill in real estate throughout my entire purchase. Many of my friends who had recently sold or bought homes were disturbed that they themselves did not get such professionalism and attention during their transactions. If you have high expectations, you will not be disappointed. Elicia is passionate about what she does and will be there for you 100%."

"This is a letter to Elicia Gower [Rudberg] to let her know how pleased I was with her efficent supervison of the sale of my condominium in El Segundo. When buying or selling real estate, there are many questions to be answered and loads of apprehensions, but believe me, Elicia answered all the questions and eliminated all the apprehensions. From the opening discussion a game plan was introduced, I knew exactly what to do, what Elicia was going to initate, and a time frame in which all these things were going to occur. This talented Realtor has the ability to anticipate problems (if they occur)so before you have time to worry, the problem is solved. If you want maximum results for buying or selling a home, I heartily reccommend Elicia Gower. She is incredible!!"

"I've known Elicia for several years and have always been impressed with her "can-do" attitude.  This came in particularly helpful when the time came to sell my condominium in Redondo Beach.  I needed to sell the property on sudden notice while out of the state.  Not only did I receive an offer within 24 hours after listing the property, but Elicia was a great help in resolving the many issues that arose while closing escrow.  She's a life saver!  Elicia has my undying gratitude and I heartily recommend her."
