I am new to Texas, been here about 2 years. I waited a little bit to decide if I wanted to plant roots here or just continue to lease. After two years I decided to search for a Realtor. I was referred to Will Garrison by Coy Balusek who works at Nyle Maxwell in Taylor when I was talking about purchasing a home. Will worked with me to get pre-approved for a home and with me being a single mother I was amazed at how fast and easy the approval process was.

I found a house that I really loved and I wanted to try to get. I let Will and my loan officer know and He immediately got to work! He sent the offer and fought to get me the best purchase price! I could ask for a better Realtor (Will Garrison) and Loan Officer (Melissa Muench) They have worked miracles for me and I am so grateful for them!

I close on my house in a few days and I am 100% satisfied of the job he has done for me!
I don’t feel so alone during my purchase. Thank you Will and Melissa for making this blessing!
YOU ROCK!!!

Have worked with Donna Garrison for over 25 years with her selling me a condo in Whitecliff Condominiums, managing it for rentals, then ultimately selling it. Donna is the ultimate Realtor in the Lake Travis area for buying or selling, with her knowledge, experience and network in this part of the Austin area. Once I ultimately decided to sell, Donna handled the sale and had 2 Buyers within 3 days of posting the property and handled the transaction thru to closing. Donna is the Realtor to go to in the Lake Travis area for buying or selling a property.

For service from Donna Garrison: Donna has managed my property at Whitecliff Condos (unit 104), for most of the last 25 years. She took care of the rentals for many of those years, staying on top of clients needing rentals and insuring that the renters were acceptable and that they got the most out of their rental experience. When I decided to sell my unit recently, Donna used her expertise and networking to find a Buyer for my unit within 3 days of being on the market. Matter of fact, she had 2 Buyers and both being willing to pay the asking price for the unit. Donna has quite a following and network in the Lake Travis and Austin area and will insure getting the best deal for her clients whether buying or selling, in a very timely manner.

Will is incredible. He sold my home, in East Austin, in just a few days, for my asking price and he even got the buyer to pay cash!!! I’ve sold and bought homes in the past and none of those sales processes were this easy. He typically only sells luxury real estate, but he was willing to take on my home since he was referred to me by a mutual friend, and he treated me as his client with the highest level of attention and care. I will definitely recommend Will’s services to anybody that wants honesty, integrity and hard work, from their broker!!! 5 stars!!

SOLD! That’s what you hear when you use Donna Garrison as your Broker/Realtor…. My family got to know Donna in 2007 when we wanted to buy a 2nd home in the Lake Travis area… Being the best realtor—- along with the smartest, she took us to look at a house on 901 Cat Hollow Club Drive… She first walked us to the gorgeous lawn along the lake and then walked us into the spacious and impressive Kitchen of the home to show us… We loved the home and purchased it… She showed us such care when hosting a party for us after we bought our home to show her appreciation for us choosing her as our realtor… We became great friends…. When I made the decision to sell this same home in 2018, Donna Garrison was the essential and crucial part of why my house sold…! October 2018 was the Flood on Lake Travis along with a contract and scheduled closing on my home was during that time…. Needless to say, the entire contract on my home could have been called off…My buyers were going to move in and the water level at the lake was at a dangerous height… No problem for Donna… Donna is level headed, no nonsense, get things done type personality. I know this contract could have easily been cancelled had Donna not been my Realtor…She told me calmly what I needed to be doing in case the lake level could enter my home… Donna and her husband took care of my home as it was there own home… They loaned me a space in their storage facility to store my furniture in case the lower level rooms flooded…They managed to call a Dock expert to take care of the dock during the flood… It would take a novel for me to tell you all the support, guidance and expertise knowledge that Donna possesses…. She had to go above and beyond what another realtor might be willing to do to help me sell my home… Her character , reputation and reliability are words I would use to describe this Fabulous Realtor. I was forturnate enough to meet Donna in 2007 and continue to call Donna my friend today… Donna was the most important and essential key to selling my home. I can’t thank her enough and I recommend that if you want to sell or buy a home… call Donna Garrison….

Donna Garrison is in the Top 1% of any realtor that I have ever met.
Trustworthy, attentive, proactive, knows the lake, 100% value-added.
Donna Garrison is NO ORDINARY real estate agent.

Since meeting Donna for a Lake Travis condo rental 20-plus years ago,
we try to involve her in all of our real estate transactions, even if not
on the lake. Today we are great friends, as I expect is the case with
many, many of her clients.

Often the idea with real estate agents is, “Do they really earn their
commission—do they really add value? With Donna and Lakeside,
the answer is a resounding “Yes” and “Yes.” Highly recommended.

Will from Austin Lakeside Properties by far is one of the most honest and genuine agents out there. They have done nothing but help us in every way possible. The home he put me into was well worth it. The after care is by far bar none. There were no surprises and not only did I gain an agent, but more importantly, a life long friend. Very good man, very good Marine.

Thank you to Austin Lakeside Properties! Will was so patient, honest, and very professional. He helped us with the many questions that we had, and offered exemplary customer service. Negotiations is not my strong suit, and he was fair and respectful! Thank you again, I will pass this company on to anyone that I know looking.

I first met Will Garrison when I fired another agent that didn’t care about getting me the best pricing on properties that I was interested in purchasing. I did my homework and was looking for someone that would not be shy about negotiating the best deal for me, I figured with his military background he would have a stronger personality. In total I have purchased, 4 properties through Will and sold 5. There have been times when I call him in the evenings expecting to leave a message and he drops what he is doing to get my business handled immediately. I recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.Austin Lakeside Properties are good people.
