Because Your Home Should Be Your Haven …

What do Clients Say?

Anne was our realtor during our move from the Philly area to Austin, TX. We had a relatively complex transaction in the sense that we had to transition between a couple of rentals in Austin while trying to sell properties back East. When we finally were able to move on a home, Anne was fantastic in helping us to navigate the RED HOT Austin housing market. She provided expertise, insight and a personal level of service that I don't think we could have found anywhere else. Anne's involvement continues even months after the transaction, as she helps us in terms of maintenance items, contractor referrals and advice in general! Anne has become a trusted friend and advisor, and we were so lucky to have found her (and Bruce). I cannot recommend Anne and Emerald Realty highly enough.

You would think attempting to search for and purchase your first home from out-of-state would be an overwhelming, stress-inducing ordeal…but not when Anne Haikola is involved. With one of us in their final year of law school and the other regularly flying around the country for work, Anne was an outstanding communicator. Between consistently asking clarifying questions about our decisions of including/excluding properties on the client portal and proactively providing us first-time home buyer resources, we felt she helped us stay well informed and enabled us to be decisive.Anne has a very calm and reasoned demeanor; one evening we were putting in our first offer EVER and she patiently stayed on the phone with me while I was connecting between flights to talk me through all of the lengthy details and negotiation points in the Offer document. One of Anne’s greatest strengths as a realtor is her savviness at the negotiating table. We witnessed a number of beautifully executed strategies throughout the home buying process and given her background as an engineer, we were able to leverage her knowledge when it came to prioritizing inspection report misgivings with the sellers. We are ecstatic about our new home and would gladly recommend working with Anne!

“Excellence in Service” is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about AnneHaikola and Emerald Haven Realty. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Anne for six years, during which Anne has been my neighbor, friend, and my realtor. The quality in her work is top notch – her knowledge of the Austin market is second to none. Above all, Anne found my family the perfect house. Anne would be a true asset for any family and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.

I’ve had the great pleasure of being Anne’s client twice, on the purchasing and listing side. Anne gets the deal done in an ethical manner where you NEVER have to question her motives. These are big transactions, and you need someone you can trust. I value her concrete analysis, pragmatic advice, shrewd marketing and high-touch customer service.

When I bought my first home and when I sold it 6 years later, Anne Haikola of Emerald Haven Realty exceeded all of my expectations in both the buying and selling process. Anne took steps to make sure I understood every step of the process. She was very thorough in staging my home for arrival to the marketplace. She took great measures to make sure it was positioned for maximum exposure in a very competitive marketplace. She handled numerous offers quickly to ensure I was considering the best possible outcomes for not only sale price but ease of closing. Even when things did not go well with one of the buyers she took quick action to resolve and move to a solid back up offer without losing any time. Even after I have been in my new home for several months, Emerald Haven Realty has sent me very helpful reminders and key documents needed for filing my taxes which in the course of a very busy year I had all but forgotten. Anne is an expert in the field and I highly recommend her and Emerald Haven Realty for any real estate needs.
