Client Reviews & Testimonials

Austin was fantastic throughout the process of buying our first home together in Bend. We were working to a tight timeline on an older property, so a few unexpected issues were inevitable. Austin was calm, responsive and straightforward throughout, keeping us updated at every step without ever making us feel pressured.
What I appreciated most was how prepared he was. He was often a step ahead, catching things early that could easily have become bigger problems later. As first-time buyers, having someone we trusted to give us straight answers and guide us through the more complicated parts made a huge difference. I had plenty of questions along the way, and Austin always answered them in a way a home-buying novice like me could understand.
We closed on time despite a few tricky moments, and looking back, I'm really glad we had Austin in our corner. I'd happily recommend him to anyone buying a home in Bend.

I worked with Austin on the sale of my townhome during a time when the local real estate market was challenging. He was knowledgeable, professional and an excellent and responsive communicator. His advice was fact based and helpful in advancing our sales strategy. And he was an effective problem solver. I found him easy to work with and, overall, one of the best real estate professionals I've ever worked with.

Austin is the best! He worked diligently to sell our home in the best possible outcome for us and everyone involved. He is communicative, data-driven, informative, and present. He held open houses every weekend and marketed our home amongst local realtors until we went under contract! He’s community-minded and always seeking to support his clients and the community in general in Central Oregon. Highly recommend!

Working with Austin Buskohl to buy my home in Bend, Oregon was nothing short of phenomenal. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Austin is not just a real estate agent—he’s a dedicated advocate, a knowledgeable guide, and a genuinely good human being.
He took the time to truly understand what I was looking for—not just in terms of square footage or price, but lifestyle, long-term goals, and the kind of community I wanted to be part of. His knowledge of the Bend market is unmatched. Every question I had (and I had a lot) was met with a thoughtful, detailed response. He was always one step ahead, anticipating potential hurdles and smoothing them out before I even knew they existed.
What really stood out was his commitment. Whether it was negotiating on my behalf, walking me through paperwork late in the evening, or simply checking in to make sure I felt confident and informed, Austin was always there. He made what could have been a stressful process feel exciting and manageable.
Thanks to Austin, I’m now living in a home I absolutely love, in a town I’m thrilled to call home. If you’re buying or selling in Bend, don’t just hire an agent—hire Austin. You’ll be glad you did.

Austin is a dream come true in a realtor. That’s because he’s not just a realtor. He obviously cares about people and their different stories and he handled me and all transactions with respect, concern and care. The professionalism that came along with all of his other traits put him in a class of his own. I truly felt like I was his only client, though I know that wasn’t true. Austin is easy to work with and is a very genuine man. Like I said, a dream come true in a realtor. I would look forward to working with him anytime.

If you’re looking to buy in Bend, you gotta call Austin!
He has an extremely informative Instagram page that breaks down the trends, predictions, data of the current Bend market. We’ve spent the past year preparing for our move, and have closely followed his postings. We learned lots! It definitely made us feel very comfortable in our timeline and decision to buy. He’s lived in Bend for many years and really knows both the area and market, and it shows!!
To be very knowledgeable in the market is one thing, but he is also SO incredibly kind! He did so much for us that was above and beyond what he needed to do. We couldn’t be in Bend for closing, and he helped us pick up the keys and gave us a beautiful basket for us and our pets on move in day! He made sure we were comfortable in our first few days and gave us lots of local recommendations to help us establish in the area. Cant recommend him enough! He is excellent!!!!!

Austin was a great advocate for us during our first home buying experience. We had zero knowledge of all the steps involved, and Austin talked us through everything and was extremely knowledgable on all the intricacies we were ignorant of.
He went to bat for us during the negotiation process, and went above and beyond on making sure we were 100% confident in our offer. He also went the extra mile taking care of us around those stressful closing days.
We also appreciated Austin sending us very detailed weekly emails to keep us aligned on what's been completed, next steps, any concerns we should address, etc.
His instagram page where he shares data on local market trends shows how knowledgable he is in the Bend market and gave us confidence in choosing when and where to buy in bend. It's indicative of his expertise.
All in all, I would absolutely recommend him especially if you are a first time homebuyer!

My wife and I cannot speak highly enough of the tremendous value that Austin Buskohl provided to us in his service as our real estate agent in our endeavor, as out of state buyers, to locate and purchase a property in Central Oregon. He informed us as to the various communities, trends in the local housing market, and he previewed for us many existing homes and new build communities to provide us with a wide range of homes to consider.
Several times he emailed us video walk-throughs of homes that we located on the Internet that had caught our attention. When we finally decided on a new build, Austin was our "man on the ground" and frequently visited the build site for check-ups or to handle meetings that we were unable to attend. The home inspector that Austin recommended found some significant matters that required action by the builder, and we are grateful that Austin suggested such an inspection even in the purchase of a new home.
With the sale now completed, Austin continues to have our backs! As my wife and I are still a couple of weeks from moving in, I've given Austin a key to the house so that he can check-in on the place and respond to anything that may arise in the interim.
In short, Austin was tireless in his service to us. We shall recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the region.

Austin exceed our expectations in every way possible. He came highly recommended from my cousin who works in banking and also lives in Bend. We closed on our house in last week, and our transaction went extremely smoothly, returning to our home state of Oregon from New York. He absolutely went above and beyond, and I could not recommend him more highly. He made what could have been a stressful process easy by partnering with us and our lender and keeping us well informed every step of the way. He was incredibly kind to our young children and met us to hand off the keys with goodies for our whole family including our dog. His communication is excellent and he will be my first call next time we need agent. Thank you Austin!!

I had Austin add me to a very specific MLS list - mostly because I wasn’t in a place to buy at the time. After budgeting out what a purchase would look like next year, the perfect house for us became available (funny how that happens). Austin was incredibly flexible and showed up to an open house with me, talked me through the purchase and how it could work with my family, and was very thoughtful with the contract and strategy to get an accepted offer. He was communicative, solution oriented, and took every question I had head-on. Honestly, I was well taken care of and had a great home-buying experience. Wouldn’t change anything if we did this again. Highly recommend Austin and the service he provides.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our realtor, Austin! When we contacted him from out of state, he immediately set us up on a zoom meeting to get to know us. We had weekly meetings on so he could really dial in what we were looking for. He was incredibly responsive to all of our texts, calls, and inquiries. We never felt like we were waiting for answers from Austin. He was always one step ahead of us. Austin is very kind and such a great representation of the people in the area but he was also very honest about the properties that were available to us. Being more cautious buyers, we had SO many questions but there was not one we had that he wasn't able to get an answer for. If he didn't know, he would make a speedy effort to contact his resources and get right back to us. He guided us and reassured us every step of the way. Buying from out of state was challenging but if we found a house we liked, Austin would get all the details and tour it virtually for us before we came to see it. Austin's expertise and diligence made it possible for us to find our home. With Austin's undying efforts, we found our lovely home! Home buying is more challenging and competitive now. It is a very different market than it was 10 years ago. Working with Austin far exceeded our expectations as we navigated home buying here in Oregon. We highly recommend Austin to find you your home!

Austin is both passionate and skilled at what he does. He took great care of us and worked tenaciously on creating a contingent deal for buying and selling a house. We were working on a tight timeline in making an offer on our new house while also trying to get our current home ready to sell. With his help, and the help of his wife/photographer, we were under contract for purchasing and selling a house within 5 days of each other. From that point on, Austin was just a text message or phone call away to answer any of our questions, entertain our what-if scenarios, or put our minds at ease. And when renovations had to happen, Austin was available to let the contractors in to walk our new property and generate bids prior to closing. His knowledge of the overall economic market paired with insights on the local real estate market make him an extremely knowledgeable and well versed real estate advisor/agent. His ability to work quick while focusing on the relationship that he builds with his clients make working with Austin an absolute delight. Thank you Austin!

Austin is very professional. He follows through on all commitments in a very timely matter. He listens very well and offers very good suggestions. When he doesn’t have an answer to a question, he will find a useful answer quickly. I have bought and sold numerous houses and Austin has been the most professional agent by far.

He stayed positive when we got frustrated. He was knowledgeable and kept us notified and up to date all along the way. In short, he was awesome!
