“The Honegger’s were recommended by my daughter who knew them from around her neighborhood.  I e-mailed Joe months before my move from South Dakota and he sent me lots of listings so I could mentally put together my dream house. While waiting for my house to sell, I visited Austin to scope out neighborhoods. After only a few weeks I got the call that my SD house was sold and I had 45 days to move! I really wanted a house that I could move into (not wanting to move twice), so Joe and I looked at lots of houses. He tirelessly answered my million questions and treated me as a friend. He was always professional and definitely knows his business! He helped me find my new home…perfect for me (with a few renovations). The sales of my home in SD and my new home in Austin went as smooth as silk! Because of his connections with the building community, he was able to put me in contact with skilled, honorable workers to do the renovating that I wanted. I would definitely call the Honeggers again. They made it painless…actually, they made it fun!”

“Thank you Joe and Jessica!”

“My experience with JH Residential has been overwhelming positive.  As an Architect, I was happy to work with ethical and grounded professionals able to guide me through my first home-buying process.  When I decided on a “fixer-upper”, Joe’s knowledge of single-family home construction and cost-estimating was a valuable asset to help me make the numbers work.  Ultimately, it is my faith in Joe and confidence he’ll complete all and any work correctly the first time that would lead me to recommend him to potential clients.”

“When it came time to sell our central East home, we knew to call upon JH Residential. We had spent blood, sweat, tears, and years flipping our homestead and JH Residential had the selling experience we were seeking. Joe and Jessica knew exactly how to stage and market our home to the target buyer for our east Austin neighborhood. In a time when the economy was sinking, we received a contract on our house in less than a month’s time. Joe was able to negotiate a favorable lease back so that we could find our new home without feeling rushed. He then guided us to just the right home in southwest Austin. The transaction of the sell of our current home and the purchase of our new home went seamlessly. We plan on Jessica and Joe being our Austin TX realtors for life.”

“Joe and Jessica are an amazing team to work with during the often confusing, emotional and potentially stressful process of buying and selling a home. My husband and myself started this process over a year ago filled with much indecision and anxiety about taking the huge step of listing our home and finding a new one that would work for us. Living in an older central Austin home which needed a lot of work, but in a great area, we felt lost about our options for making changes to our current home versus selling and trying to find something else. From my first communication with Jessica, there has been nothing but a professionalism, kindness, and genuine knowledge of how this process works inside and out. She made key recommendations on how to stage our home and we got a contract on our house within 2 weeks. During the sell of our former home and the purchase of our new home we have received many compliments on the efficiency and ease of working with Joe from the title company and our lender.  Joe and Jessica have been willing and more than able to help us from every angle. Their personal attention to what we need as a family has been invaluable. I highly recommend working with Joe and Jessica for any of your real estate needs. I can’t imagine having gone through this without them.”

“Moving to Austin from Phoenix was a daunting task with the current economy.  By Jessica setting up a webpage that was updated daily with homes for sale in our price range and desired location, we were able to get a feel for what was available even before we moved to Austin.  We visited Austin several times before moving and Jessica was the local Austin tour guide. She knew beforehand what was important to our family and showed us where the local YMCAs, parks, coffee shops, churches and even furniture stores were located. Joe’s construction background proved invaluable as he identified potential costly repairs so we could fully evaluate the cost of the home.  Once we were in, they provided great referrals for the projects we did require. Joe and Jessica are excellent agents;  they listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the right place at the right time for the right price.  We highly recommend working with JH Residential.”

“Joe was the kindest, most effecient, and easy going real estate agent. He showed so much patience to old people and was never too busy to talk us through every detail of selling our home. He answered the phone right away, came over multiple times to our house to explain details of the contract, and was so considerate towards us. I knew if we needed to move out of state before the sale of our home, we would be able to trust him with the house.”

- Walter and Maria Walther

“Working with JH Residential was a wonderful experience for our family.  It took us a while to decide on what we were looking for, and Joe never lost patience through our many decision changes.  We saw a wide variety of houses and duplexes all over Austin.  Joe even saved us time by visiting the houses before we looked at them to tell us if they were worth visiting.  I also believe that Joe’s construction background was an invaluable asset.  Often times, we would really like a house, but Joe was able to find areas of concern that I feel other Realtors would not have found.  I believe that he saved us from getting a house that may have had many large expenses in the future.  Working with Joe was a great experience, and I would recommend him to anyone I know who is looking for a Realtor.”

“What a joy it was to have Joe and Jessica Honegger work with us in the sale of our home. I only wish we had known of this wonderful couple when we were buying! My husband and I listed our home with JH Residential in late July and signed a contract to sale in late August. It was very difficult for me to “let go” of the home in which we had raised our children. The sensitivity and compassion shown by Joe was amazing. At a time when houses were “sitting” and buyers were not buying, Joe and Jessica were diligent to know the circumstances of the housing market and were positive and encouraging to my husband and I. They are a wonderful team with strong ethics. Don’t miss the opportunity to have them serve you in one of the most important decision you will make in your life!”

– Carlon & John Hollis

“We are very grateful for Joe. He responded quickly when we found the house we wanted and walked us through each step of the buying process. If it weren’t for Joe, we would not have been first in line with our contract in front of several other interested buyers. We also would not have remained in the process without his encouragement and wisdom in regards to the current market. It was nice to have someone we could have confidence in from the beginning to the end. We will definitely use and recommend JH Residential in the future!”

“Jessica and Joe went above and beyond when selling our home. Because of their experience with remodeling and selling their own homes, they made key recommendations to us and even helped us line up a tile and paint person. We made certain updates according to their recommendations that increased the value of our home, and we were able to sell it for much more than what we originally had thought. After we got a contract on the house, we had to hire a plumber to do more repairs. Joe came over during the whole process to check on the work and make sure everything was being done properly. With Jessica and Joe, we got more than what we thought possible in a realtor! It was like two for the price of one!”

– Jill and Russell Tabor

“Joe and Jessica Honegger made selling our house a very positive experience.  Their attention and care to us far exceeded our expectations and experience with realtors in the past.  They gave us valuable advice that paid off.  Jessica went through our home with a fine toothed comb and told us exactly what to do to get our home ready to list. They even found a local painter and drywall person for us AND lined us up with granite tile for our countertops. Our home sold in 4 days!  Much of the success came from Jessica and Joe and their commitment to show the house in peak condition.  They put us at ease throughout the entire process and made selling our home a positive experience.”

- Billy and Robin Hollis

“We were a little bit nervous about selling our first home, but Jessica and Joe walked us through the whole process seamlessly. Jessica made recommendations on how to make our house feel bigger. She even brought over some of her own furniture to replace some of our bigger pieces! She also found us a carpenter that was extremely inexpensive and who was able to do all the minor repair work before we listed it. Our house sold in a little over a month for one of the highest prices per square foot in the neighborhood. Even after the closing, they helped remove some debris from the house. They continually provided us with detailed service that went above and beyond what we thought a realtor would accomplish.”

“My husband and I moved from California to Austin when I was 30 weeks pregnant.  A move that by all means should have been stressful was made so much more manageable by our amazing real estate agents, Jessica and Joe. Joe set up a several searches for us, changing our criteria as we learned more about the area.  They went out of their way to make us feel at home in Austin from the first trip we took here to look around.  They dedicated a full weekend during our second trip to showing us every home we wanted to see. Jessica learned what was important to us and was careful to point out houses we had missed on the search.  We ended up falling in love and buying a house that we hadn’t even marked as one to see.  Luckily, Jessica knew what we were looking for, and had encouraged us to take a look at it!  Joe patiently explained every aspect of home buying in Texas and made us feel 100% confident with our decisions. Both Joe and Jessica have become friends of ours and were actually our newborn son’s first visitors at the hospital!   We can’t say enough great things about the two of them!”

- Staci and Chris Zohlen

“Jessica and Joe were great realtors when we purchased our first home! Very professional but also really invested in us and in tune with what we desired in a home. Jessica spent so much time with us pinpointing the exact features of our desired home and making thoughtful recommendations. Joe made all the details of the finances and closing process so simple and manageable. We are really grateful to them for their care, guidance, and expertise.”

-Lavanya and Noel Balisingham

“It has been a great delight for us to recommend Jessica and Joe to our friends who are moving because we were so pleased with how they helped us when we moved.  They were knowledgeable and professional, yet always presented a warm enthusiasm that set our hearts at ease when we were stressed at the details of selling our home.  Jessica gave us ideas of how to present our home to ready it for sale and all of the details really mattered because we were able to get the price we wanted in such a short time on the market.  Joe was so kind and came to appointments he wasn’t really required to be at, just to be a support to us and lend us his professional opinion, which went way beyond the requirements of a realtor.  He negotiated a great deal for us on a new home, with lots of extras we would not have known we could even ask for.  It is so wonderful to work with a team like Joe and Jessica when you are making such life changing decisions because they didn’t just work for us, they worked with us, and became very special friends in the process.  You want people of integrity like Jessica and Joe by your side every step of the way when you are selling or buying a home.”

-Don and Ame Cook

“Joe and Jessica meant so much to Rebekah and I for making the whole home buying process go so smoothly. They both went above and beyond to make it happen, and I know that without them it would not have been as smooth. They worked hard and worked with our schedules when we were out of town. They were so available to show us homes that fit our criteria. They were more than what we could expect from someone. I can’t express in words the appreciation we have for the both of them!”

-Rebekah and Scott Voelker

“Joe and Jessica really helped us throughout the home-buying process. Jessica was patient and understanding. She used her creativity to see the potential in a house and helped us identify a home that is perfect for us. Joe walked us through the financial aspects of getting a mortgage, as well as the technical details of the home inspection. His background and experience in remodeling and home improvement was an important resource for assessing the value of the home. Joe and Jessica complement each other well. They make a great team and we enjoyed working with them.”

Liz and Sascha Petersen

“When we bought our first house we had an inexperienced realtor who just got us into our house real quick and did the bare minimum .We missed out on some very helpful information and options to better our investment. Jessica and Joe were very detailed and made sure that we knew all of our options. They made sure we knew every thing that was going on and what we needed to know every step of the way. We really trusted them and the process was smooth, enjoyable, and exciting! Our house sold in two weeks after being put on the market and we found our new home right on time too.”
