Carmen and Len were the absolute best people to have on my team as a first time home buyer. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was not only getting what I asked for, but what I deserved post-contract. They really do treat you like family, and it is with their help that I got my dream home! I cannot recommend them enough!

Carmen Reese and the CLR team were exceptional from start to finish. We were picky buyers, but Carmen was endlessly patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout the search. She undertsood that our dream and vision were not something we were willing to compromise on, and really kept us moving until we found the home that matched it.
Len was also invaluable, answering so many of our structural questions and helping us distinguish between normal issues and potential future headaches. Rochie kept everything organized behind the scenes, on track, and moving smoothly.
When we found the right home, Carmen became a force in negotiations with the seller. From submitting our offer through the one minor negotiation needed to get under contract, the team handled everything in less than 24 hours. Carmen’s expertise in the Austin market gave us real confidence at every step.
This is truly a phenomenal team. We would recommend Carmen and CLR without hesitation, and we would absolutely work with them again!

As first-time homebuyers, we were incredibly nervous about navigating the real estate market, but Carmen and her team made the entire process seamless and easy! She took the time to explain every single step, from our initial search to closing day. Her patience, market knowledge, and quick responsiveness kept us feeling confident and stress-free the entire time. If you want a realtor who truly cares and simplifies the buying process, I highly recommend Carmen!"

Carmen helped me navigate my first home purchase downtown and rode her first Lime scooter to do so! She was responsive, patient with my endless questions, and fought for me when it mattered. Would absolutely recommend.

My home-buying experience was truly more than I ever could have imagined. From start to finish, Carmen, Len, and their team were right by my side, making what could have been an overwhelming process feel smooth, exciting, and even enjoyable.
As someone who didn’t know much about the home-buying process, I had a lot of questions—and they never once made me feel unsure or overwhelmed. They answered everything with patience and care, while also guiding me with valuable insight I didn’t even know I needed.
What meant the most to me was how genuinely they listened. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and needed, and I felt supported every step of the way. Because of them, I not only found a house, but a place I can truly call home.
I’m beyond grateful for this experience and would highly recommend Carmen, Len, and their team to anyone looking to buy a home. You will be in the best hands.

Wonderful people to work with constantly on getting you into a wonderful home that you would love and enjoy for years

Carmen and her team are truly exceptional. From the moment you tell her what you’re looking for, she works tirelessly to find exactly that—and often even more. She is not the type of agent who’s just trying to make a sale; she genuinely cares, and it shows in every interaction.
The communication throughout the entire process was outstanding. Whether it was emails, photos, or videos, Carmen made sure we had everything we needed and explained each step clearly. And don’t let her warm smile fool you—she is tough, determined, and an absolute go-getter.
Because of Carmen and her amazing team, our family is finally reunited and settled in one state again. If I could give her 10 stars, I absolutely would

I was grateful to have been able to first meet Carmen in a non-house hunting setting, which allowed me to get to know her as an individual separate from her business. Her positivity, warmth, and good nature, along with validation from a friend's personal home buying journey with her, is what led us to put our trust into Carmen and her team. She was incredibly patient with our asks and any concerns that may have occurred during our time working together. While Carmen helps to lead you to the best decision for you, she is by no means influencing you to go in a direction that she doesn't think would leave you feeling positive. Also, her interest and investment into community building for, and with, her clients throughout the year is so wonderful to be a part of! You'd be so incredibly lucky to share in this vulnerable and exciting journey with her!

My husband and I worked with Carmen, Len, and their team (including Ralph and Rochie) for our first home purchase, and honestly, they were all really amazing!! Super kind, patient, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Carmen made the whole home-buying process feel easy. I love how she takes the initiative to educate you, especially if you have a ton of questions. She’s an amazing negotiator and genuinely fights to get you the best deal. I clicked with Carmen on day one! I could just tell we were going to be a great team and that I’d be able to rely on her with such big decisions. The guidance and support we got from her made everything so smooth. Len was great with all the construction details and even double-checked things we didn’t know to look for.
We’re really grateful for how seamless the whole experience was. Highly recommend them!

Carmen and Len were professional, helpful, and the best I could have hoped for. As a first time home buyer, I had a million questions and a lot of anxiety. Carmen was so incredible every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt heard and found a house I loved!
Veronica Behr
I highly recommend Carmen and the whole CLR Sales Group professional team. They were on top of everything in the whole process of selling our home. Communication was top notch 100% of the time. If you’re looking to buy or sell they are on it.
Jason Rodriguez
Carmen was PHENOMENAL! She was able to help my wife and I throughout every step of this process. In a process that we were led to believe was super tedious, Carmen was able to make it super smooth instead, and even got us the BEST deals! She’s great. 10/10 every time!

There should be a 6th star!
Carmen, Len, and the entire CLR team were absolutely phenomenal. When my wife and I decided to buy our first home, Carmen came highly recommended by friends and family - now we know why!
From the start, Carmen was responsive, professional, and incredibly organized. She set up a kickoff meeting right away, answered all our questions with clarity, and truly made us feel supported. More than that, she was genuine and empathetic—qualities that never waivered.
Throughout the process, we were in constant communication. Her team helped us review listings, coordinated multiple showings, and even dug up off-market properties tailored to our needs. Carmen always came prepared with property info (in her signature folder), deep local knowledge, and valuable insights on potential upgrades.
When we found our 9.5/10 home (thanks Len for the last minute showing!), Carmen jumped into action. She worked with us on a Saturday night and submitted the offer immediately. Thanks to her determination and quick thinking, our offer was accepted in under 36 hours of the property being listed. Her negotiation skills and sense of urgency made all the difference.
Even after the offer was accepted, Carmen and her team stayed fully engaged - guiding us through the option period, keeping everything on track, and even introducing us to a lender who better matched our needs.
Bottom line: Carmen and the CLR Group are as professional, knowledgeable, and caring as it gets. She’ll be our first call for any future real estate needs in the Austin area. I could keep going, but my point is clear - CLR is the best in the business and you won't be disappointed.

I had an amazing experience with the CLR sales group. Carmen and Len are amazing at what they do and they will stop at nothing to help you find your amazing dream home. They were there for us every step of the way with our home build. I am a first-time homeowner and they made the experience very seamless for me! I highly recommend the CLR sales group to anyone looking for a home because not only are they helping you look for a home, they genuinely care that you find a home that is right for you. What an amazing experience!

Carmen and Len are amazing! I had a great experience buying my first home with them. I knew next to nothing about all the ins and outs, but they patiently explained everything and made sure nothing was missed or forgotten. They responded promptly to all of my requests and connected me to wonderful contractors and other resources for various tasks. I cannot recommend this group enough!

Saw the listing for my current house when I was out of town. Had to make the offer sight unseen. I would not have been comfortable doing that if it wasn’t for Carmen and Len going above and beyond.
