1st Texas Realtors

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+ Experience!

David and Simone at 1st Texas Realtors are an absolute dream team!! From the moment we enlisted their help, they provided us with top-notch service and guidance every step of the way. As second-time homebuyers and first-time sellers, we were navigating uncharted waters, but David and Simone made the entire experience incredibly smooth and stress-free (as much as it can be).

Their knowledge of the market was unparalleled, and they were ALWAYS available and willing to answer our questions and address any concerns we had. Communication with them was constant, which helped us stay informed and confident throughout the process. What truly stood out to us was their genuine patience and understanding. They took the time to listen to our needs, concerns, and preferences, ensuring that we felt comfortable and supported every step of the way.

Most importantly, David and Simone went above and beyond to guide and counsel us, ensuring that we were making smart financial decisions. This personalized approach was exactly what we wanted, and their expertise helped us navigate the complexities of buying and selling with ease and allowed us to feel comfortable.

We can confidently say that we will never work with anyone else in the future. David and Simone have earned our trust and loyalty, and we will happily recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Even our buyers' realtor expressed admiration for their professionalism and kindness, highlighting just how exceptional this team truly is.

Thank you, David and Simone, for exceeding our expectations and making our real estate journey a memorable and enjoyable one. You are truly the best in the business!

I cannot express how thoroughly impressed and pleased I am to have gotten the chance to meet and work with Matt Bradley through my home purchase process. From our first interaction, all the way through (and even after) closing he has been professional, knowledgeable, punctual in his responses, and has made the purchase of my first property very easy. Never once did I feel rushed or pressured, and I always knew that Matt had my best interests at heart. Matt truly displays a passion for finding the right home for people. I cannot recommend Matt and his team (namely Drake) highly enough!

This realtor team is OUTSTANDING!! We are so happy we found them. We are first time home buyers and new to TX. Simone and David were absolutely wonderful and they genuinely care about their clients. If you are thinking about contacting them.. just do it!! You will not regret it!!

My wife and I recently bought a house in League City, and David and Simone were our realtors that were recommended to us from friends, and boy did they live up to the hype! David and Simone worked with my wife and I for months looking at a lot of houses, and they did not give up on us. Once our offer was accepted on the house we bought they were fast, very professional, and quick to respond to the many questions that we had. They are just kind, very responsive, sharp, humble, and all-around awesome people to work with. Anybody that asks us for advice about what realtor to use will get a recommendation to go with David and Simone from us!

I'm incredibly indebted to David and Simone Karstedt for their help in the process of purchasing my home. They make themselves available to you based on your schedule. In what I've noticed firsthand....David is attentive, highly intelligent, and in this business...his attention to detail is first-rate! I'm a total novice when it came to buying a home, but when I worked with David and Simone, they kept it simple and the transition was impeccably effortless and seamless! As a single father, I wanted something just for me and my son, and with their help, now I have it. They have been and will always be a blessing to my son and me.

Simone and David were the best to work with. We had a realtor before them and she wasn't doing what we thought she should and being first time home buyers were unsure about the home buying process and felt that we needed someone different. It was the best decision we made going with Simone and David! Their knowledge of the area and the entire process was priceless. Even when we had a hiccup at closing and had to extend our contract they took care of everything and made us feel at ease during the whole process. They were always available for questions and very quick to respond. I will definitely be using them again when we decide to move again.

We recently had the pleasure of working with 1st Texas Realtors when looking for our first home. From day one, our Agent Simone Karstedt was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for homes to view based on what we were looking for. All throughout the negotiations and closing she will do anything to help, we highly recommend her! Anyone looking to purchase a home would be lucky to work with Simone.

As the owner of one of Texas largest home inspection companies, I am in contact with literally hundreds of Realtors. David and Simone Karstedt truly set the bar on all levels of knowledge, professionalism and standards of excellence. The knowledge they bring to their clients during the purchase process is the best you will find anywhere. I rarely give reviews unless earned and well deserved. From an inspectors perspective, I have a front row seat in watching this team go to bat for their clients to ensure they are fully protected. Great company to work with.

David's expertise was so appreciated as a first time homebuyer. He was able to advise me on resale value, but also let me have showings on the houses he advised against.
His agent, Matt, showed us houses and was patient & thoughtful. He always gave us time to walk around and dream out loud while offering great suggestions.

I love real estate and the both of them made my first homebuying really special.
Thank you, David. One last time!

Rhan and Abby helped my family purchase our dream home. They were patient and explained every aspect of the selling and buying process. Their expert guidance made our dream come true! We didn't think we could sell our house and quickly as we did, but with their guidance it only took 2 weeks! We put them through the ringer when trying to find our new home. We had many, detailed questions and many site visits, in addition to changes in what we wanted from location, price, and floorplans. They supported us through it all and never became impatient. I highly recommend them to any home buyer who wants to avoid the brand name companies that treat you like another number. We never felt pressured! Personalized service that made selling our home and buying our new one a breeze!

Working with David and Simone Karstedt of 1st Texas Realtors on the purchase of our first home was a superb experience from beginning to end. They came very highly recommended, and did not disappoint. We would ask them to view a property the morning it was listed, and received a response within minutes. We were at the property as early as 8am that very morning. This attentiveness is what gave us the edge we needed to make great offers in the current highly competitive market. Through their experience both in the field and with other realtors, they were able to make things happen very smoothly and quickly, in addition to being very thorough, informative, and encouraging every step of the way. This team is amazing!

I've been using 1st Texas Realtors for my Real Estate needs for years now. I could not imagine using anyone else! I refer everyone I know to David and Simone because I know they will be taken care of.

This is a top notch run business with a personal touch. After working with them you will feel like family.

I am in the insurance business and when a client tells me that they need assistance with a real estate purchase or sale, the first and only name that I suggest is 1st Texas Realtors. David and Simone Karstedt are careful and attentive. They do everything required, and more, to make sure each transaction goes smoothly for the buyer or seller. Keep up the great work!

My experience with 1st Texas Realtors included both selling my home, and buying my next home. I worked closely with David and Simone throughout the process.

I listed my home for sale with 1st Texas Realtors, with the goal of buying a new home once my current home would eventually sell. From the professional, friendly service, to the constant (almost daily) communication with them, this company exceeded our expectations in every way - every step of the way.

I've used realtors before and NO ONE comes close to how much 1st Texas Realtors really cares, and OVER-DELIVERS to you. This company is very knowledgeable, informed us of current market trends, as well as how to 'best' present our home - AND - planned how to buy my next home at the same time using their invaluable 'network' of professionals.

Little did I know, using 1st Texas Realtors real estate network, and extensive expertise, my home was listed for sale, and I had an accepted offer. I then made an offer on my next home by utilizing 1st Texas Realtors and their network, and again, their negotiations on my behalf sealed the deal. I can honestly say, if it was not for David and the staff at 1st Texas Realtors, none of this would have happened, and happen so flawlessly.

1st Texas Realtors is a company who truly cares about you. They are the REAL DEAL.

Simply put, if you want your dreams to come to fruition, use this company for ALL of your real estate needs - you will NOT be disappointed.

Sincerely,
Jerremy W. Guthrie

"We were referred to David & Simone with 1st Texas Realtors through a friend who couldn't say enough good things about them. Having worked with them ourselves now, we couldn't agree more. They helped us find exactly the home we were looking for in League City. As a new family to the area, we are so incredibly grateful that we had them working with us through this process. Everything was smooth and drama-free, exactly as we wanted it to be! We were on a tight timeline to find a home to purchase, and they where available, thorough and helpful from our very first phone call. They was always available by phone, email or text, and promptly sent us new listings when they became available. They were incredibly flexible with our work schedules in terms of showing homes in the late afternoon, early evening or weekends, but also didn't hesitate to suggest to us if he thought we needed to see something sooner. They was always available to show us a new listing, or to return for a second look. Communication with them was easy and prompt. There are so many things that we appreciated about working with them. They was incredibly knowledgeable - about homes in general in the League City and surrounding markets specifically. They would non-judgmentally point out both positive and negative features of a home, but we always felt as if they was leaving the ultimate judgment to us. They are good natured and easy to be around, always professional but pleasant. They are very accommodating when we would need to bring our kids or extended family with us to showings, even though I know that can be distracting. Once we found the right home, we again were so blessed of their expertise. They provided us the perfect balance of there suggestions for what would be a strong offer for this home in this market, while never pressuring us and always making us feel like the ultimate decision was ours. Once under contract, they remained extremely helpful and responsive to all our "first-time" questions and helped make sure that everything proceeded as expected. In the end, we found a great place in about a month and had closed less than 30 days after that. We can't recommend 1st Texas Realtors highly enough, and will definitely work with them again in the future if the opportunity arises."

Thank you Matt Bradley for another great closing! Matt is proactive, high on communication and makes sure every detail is accounted for to ensure a smooth home buying experience. He's great to work with and highly recommended!!!

David & Simone know the Clear Lake area of Houston very well. They have integrity & respect in the community. Buying a home is a big deal & they can be trusted! They're great people!

1st Texas Realtors is second to none! Their professionalism and second mile service resulted in the sale of our home at a price/timeline that exceeded expectation. I give my highest recommendation!

Very knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire home buying process. They are available day or night with any questions or concerns. Highly recommended!

We've purchased 2 houses through David and Simone in the South Houston area and there is no one else we would rather work with!
