What My Clients Say About Me
“If anyone is looking for a Realtor, I highly recommend Barbara Wilson Shallue. Barbara helped us find our condo, located near the University of Texas in Austin campus. From the moment we began our search, Barbara was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the perfect place. She understood exactly what we were looking for, and drove us around in triple-digit temperatures to see the long list of properties I had. Her extensive knowledge of the Austin real estate market was invaluable. She guided us through every step of the process with professionalism and a keen eye for detail, ensuring we found a property that perfectly matched our needs and budget. Barbara also introduced us to our broker and insurance agent, who were equally as amazing. She took the time to get to know us and was always available, making what can often be a stressful process feel seamless and smooth. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase.” ~Tara M (Facebook)
“If you are looking for a realtor in the central Texas area, Barbara is your go to! My family used her years ago when purchasing a condo near the UT Austin campus, and I most recently used her again to purchase my first home. She is knowledgeable, helpful, genuine, and great at helping to meet the buyer’s needs. She is accommodating and willing to shuffle her schedule to meet your needs, as the home buying process can be stressful. She was there every step of the way, helping to inform me about things to consider along the way, as well as answering any questions I had, as I was extremely unfamiliar with home-buying prior to working with Barbara. Overall, Barbara is a fantastic realtor in the area who is highly qualified to help with your realtor needs. I would recommend her to my closest friends and family, as I know she will take great care of them. After purchasing property, she will also give a portion of her team’s proceeds to the charity of your choice, which is such a thoughtful and impactful way to give back during the home buying process. Barbara has become one of the family, and I can’t recommend her services enough. She is a dedicated worker with a fun personality and a passion to help others. Thank you, Barbara!” ~Kayla Blackmon (Google, Zillow,Realtor.com)

“A realtor sells you a property. Barbara Shallue is more than that. She is an advocate, a resource, and a truly giving person. Barbara is a realtor who comes highly recommended. Her positivity, realism and her professionalism really make a huge difference. She is honest and endeavors to understand exactly what you are looking for as a buyer. Her service doesn’t stop there. She connects you with other service providers and goes the extra mile even after closing.
Our situation was unique as we were purchasing remotely from out of state. Barbara was amazing. We could tell she had our best interest in mind through every conversation.
When COVID-19 hit right after our offer was accepted, things got a little tense. Barbara was there to be the calm in the storm. With her knowledge and experience she helped to make sure that we knew the next steps. Barbara was the one to answer our closing questions and stayed with us 100% of the way.
Barbara goes above and beyond. She continued to look in on our property until we could get there. Three months after closing, when we were finally able to come to Austin, Barbara met us at the door with the keys and graciously welcomed us to our new condo. And when we finally laid eyes on our new property, we knew Barbara had served us well.

We will definitely seek her services in the future if needed. We highly recommend Barbara and Keller Williams!” ~Wendy Burleson (Zillow, Google, and Houzz) Lago Vista, TX
“I am from Southern California and this is the first time my husband and I went through purchasing a property by the perks of technology. We went through several properties, having my daughter go and see the places in Austin. I met Barbara through Texas parents Facebook page, called her and I knew right away that she would be the person to work with this process. She was so generous with her time, very knowledgeable with the market, so honest with giving advice if the property is right and safe. I know my daughter was comfortable during those times when Barbara showed her the properties. We made offers to a couple of condos which were very exhausting and stressful but Barbara made everything so effortless. She was answering emails, calls, texts even when she was on vacation; that itself speaks of her utmost dedication to her clients. After months of sending offers, getting rejected, looking for more properties, it finally happened for us last September. Even after the closing, she is still helping us navigate on little things like recommendations with plumbers, electricians, property tax questions. So when she said, “let me know how can I help you,” she truly means that. Thank you, Barbara for everything.” -jjtmama (Zillow)
“Barbara has been our realtor three times now. Twice with buying in Austin and once with selling our condo. After we bought our first condo, we knew we’d go back to Barbara when we decided to move into a house.

She’s an amazing realtor and I’d send any of my friends to her.” - Kim Nguyen (Google) Austin, TX

Two years later, when we were ready to buy our first house, we knew we wanted to work with Barbara again. She really went above and beyond in helping us navigate the confusing and overwhelming process of home-buying, as well as being our voice in the process and looking out for our interests (she even spotted a last-minute mistake that would have cost us an extra $75 than nobody else caught). She was very helpful in guiding us through the negotiations ; helping us first-timers by giving us guidelines and tips, but she was careful not to necessarily make our decisions for us. Most importantly, throughout the process of securing both homes, Barbara was extremely kind, personable, and remarkably thoughtful.

A few months ago I began looking for a realtor in Texas, that is how I was fortunate to make contact with Barbara Shallue. I explained that my family and I were planning to relocate to Austin, Texas. She was extremely helpful in answering my questions via phone. I felt confident in her knowledge and work, and she began looking for the piece of land we needed.
I kept contact with her and realized she was amazing!!! Nevertheless, Barbara contacted me and said she had multiple properties ready for me to see. I decided it was time to make a trip to Austin and look at the properties with her. We came up with a date and ended up finally meeting. She was a very nice and organized, just as I expected. We ended up seeing all the properties and decided on the one that was best for what I was looking for. To make a long story short we finally decided on the property and with her help I was able to make an offer. Everything went well and even though I lived in California, she did everything she could to keep me informed throughout the whole process. I was really impressed with her work ethic and dedication. I feel luck to have worked with her. She really is a wonderful person!!” ~ Victor Moyado, Jonestown, TX

When we could not come to town to see a house, your devoted willingness to show homes to my son and his UT swim teammates that are going to live in this house was like you were taking care of your own children..........Your dedication to servicing our needs like meeting with inspectors or contractors while we could not be there was impressive.......It was a great pleasure doing business with a high school friend that made me so very proud.......Most of all, you really touched my heart and spirit with your generosity of giving back to your community and sharing your hard worked earnings with the less fortunate. That in itself says enormously about your devotions.....There is nothing better than doing business with a generous, dedicated and professional individual like you.....I will always recommend you with the highest regards to anyone looking for real estate needs in and around Austin. YOU ARE THE BEST !!!” ~ShiShi Anya, Austin, TX
“Barbara was an absolutely amazing help in our search for a home. As first-time home buyers, she patiently guided us through all of the steps of the daunting process and gave us helpful recommendations on lenders, inspectors, plumbers, electricians, etc. She got us answers for all of our questions quickly and even brought up things we should have been asking! We would recommend her to anyone looking for an organized, knowledgeable professional who has lived in the Austin market and surrounding areas for decades. This lady is great, great, great!” ~Kim Nguyen, Austin, TX
“Thank you Barbara, for helping us negotiate the buying of our business property. Just a smooth, hassle-free experience and just the property and price we needed!” ~Peggy Popham, Liberty Hill, TX
“I recommend Barbara highly. She was most accommodating. I am not computer literate. Barbara contacted me weekly via phone keeping me up to date and well informed. Could not have had a more pleasant and easy experience. We sold the house! Yay!!” ~Linda Foerster, Horseshoe Bay, TX
“Dear Barbara, Ann and I want to thank you for all of your outstanding service while helping us look at properties and most recently the sale of our lot in Lago Vista. From the beginning we felt comfortable and confident that you had our best interests at heart. You treated this small sale the same as if it was a large and profitable transaction for you. Your experience, professionalism, passion, dedication and commitment to your clients sets you at the top of your industry. Your knowledge of the market allowed you to price the property accordingly and our lot was sold in a short time at a price that was pleasing to us. All in all it was a great experience. We will always recommend you to others and we will ask for your help with our future real estate ventures in the beautiful Lake Travis and Austin area.” ~Roland and Ann Younger, Younger Ventures LLC, Lago Vista, TX
“Barb did a great job finding us the perfect lot and then helping us work through the negotiations and closing. All in all a thoroughly professional, efficient and well executed process. I would recommend her to anyone in the process of buying or selling real estate. Thanks Barb!” ~George Karr, Lago Vista, TX
“If it weren’t for Barbara, Scott’s house would probably still be on the market. In addition to communicating her own good instincts, she provided feedback from other agents and buyers that helped us stage the house better (even bringing a few cool props of her own), arranged for an excellent professional photographer to create a virtual tour, and promoted the house creatively and consistently.
She initially recommended a price range that Scott thought was too low, but she agreed to list at a higher price. Of course, she was correct in her analysis and the house ended up with multiple offers once he adjusted the price. If you list with Barbara, listen to Barbara! She knows what she’s doing.” -Sandra Spicher (Google)
“My wife and I relocated from Illinois to Austin October 2014. Not knowing anyone in the area we found Barbara on the internet and reached out for help. Barbara was great! She took the time to explain the different areas of the city and sent us a package with a ton of information on the city and its history. She took a personal interest in finding us the right place and worked very hard for us through the whole process. We would highly recommend Barbara if you are looking for a home in the Austin area.” ~Steve & Lyndsey Gordon, Spicewood, TX
