I just wanted to take a moment and give a WELL DESERVED rating. I went looking for a realtor a little more than 6 months ago with very different circumstances than most people. I found Rhan Pruitt. I have to say, knowledgeable is just not strong enough a word for him. He is ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING at his job. Top notch professionalism, patient, punctual, disciplined, and an all around great person! He went out of his way, and I mean ABOVE AND BEYOND to get my family the home we wanted. I guess to sum this up, I went looking for a realtor and found that as well as much more, A FRIEND! He truly cares about his clients and in this world, that is a quality that most are missing. I hope this review reaches many many people, and I hope you do not hesitate in making him your realtor so you can also have the same experience myself and my family had buying our home. Thank you Rhan, and thank you for our house warming gifts. We loved them. You will always have a spot in our family!

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!

— Trey Kincade

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!

— Seth Saldivar

This Realtor team is OUTSTANDING!! We are so happy we found them. We are first time home buyers and new to Texas. 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!!

— Robert Mazza

We had the pleasure of working with 1st Texas Realtors when buying 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 did anything to help, we highly recommend her! Anyone looking to purchase a home would be lucky to work with Simone.

— Lenny Tucker

We had a wonderful experience with the husband and wife team, David and Simone. They were knowledgeable and steered us in the right direction, but also very pleasant to spend time with. They are an incredible team and we loved working with them every step of the way.

— Jennifer Meenehan

This dynamic duo is the real deal, we have used them for several transactions and they have been fabulous. One particular time it took us time to find “the one” and they were incredibly patient as we toured home after home. They always make the process easy and fun as they are just wonderful people. They’ve become two of our favorite people to do business and life with.

My wife and I bought a home in League City, David and Simone were our realtors recommended by 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!

— Nathaniel Fisher

David and Simone from 1st Texas are an amazing team! They have helped us purchase two homes and sell another home. They are quick to respond and so helpful along the way. They honestly make the home selling and purchasing process so smooth. We will continue to use their services in the future.

–Danielle Carnighan

David and Simone of 1st Texas Realtors represented the seller in a condominium that I purchased in Galveston. I have nothing but fantastic things to say about both of them and their company, true professionals, I would recommend them to anyone looking to list properties in the Clear Lake and Galveston area. If you are like me and happen upon them on the sell side, please know that they will do all they can to ensure the transaction progresses to close efficiently.

–Austin Boatright

David is fantastic! We actually talked to other realtors but after meeting him I knew instantly that I wanted him to sell our house. He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and responds to emails and texts almost instantly. He is aggressive and assertive, because of him we were able to get more than expected for our house. We never had any trouble getting in touch with him and we always felt he truly had our best interests in mind. He’s very charismatic and takes a lot of the stress out of selling a house. He took the time to explain things and we never felt pressured or rushed. I hope we never have to buy or sell again but if we do, David will be our first call.

–Shelley Brannon

Wow, talk about amazing, this team is incredible! David & Simone are so friendly and knowledgeable and take the time to make sure you understand every step of the buying and selling process. I had questions that were immediately answered. We put in an offer to the house we fell in love with and found out that there were multiple offers. Simone and David fought for our offer and made the deal happen. Exceptional service and would recommend them to anyone and everyone that is in need of services. Thank you again Simone and David for making this process so smooth and easy!!

Rhan 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!

— Jenny R.

Rhan Pruitt not only helped my husband and I sell our home, but he also assisted us in purchasing another home that we absolutely loved! He is by far the BEST Realtor I have ever worked with. His professionalism, patience, knowledge, and efforts to keep us informed throughout the entire process definitely rank him far above all others.

–Maelinda Dean-Peters

First class service!! What a blessing to have Rhan as our realtor. We we’re building a home in a community that already had their own realtor and builders. Things get very stressful for a buyer trying to get everyone on the same page. When we had issues Ryan would get them addressed and always got back to us within a day. I very much appreciate is hard work, integrity , and fast friendly services. Highly recommend!

— Jason & Heather Toth

Excellent experience! Could not be more pleased! David and Simone helped make purchasing a home stress free and fun. They were always happy to take time to answer questions, give advice, and really guide my husband and I through this process. They helped us get into houses quickly and were extremely knowledgeable about homes, neighborhoods, and the area. We are incredibly thankful for everything they did for us and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to purchase a home.

–Ruth Cooper

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!

I was referred to 1st Texas Realtors by a friend and I couldn’t have had a better experience. David and Simone were very responsive, answered all of my questions, and helped walk me through my first home sale. The photographer they use to take pictures of the house was phenomenal and you can tell their entire team cares about your experience. We listed my house on a Friday afternoon, had multiple offers by the end of the weekend, and closed on the paper work 3 weeks from the date of listing. I can’t say enough great things about the team and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor in the area.

  –Rachel Garcia

David and Simone at 1st Texas Realtors have been taking great care of our real estate needs for almost 8-years. In the last year we have sold three properties and bought one. All of our properties had offers within a week!! David and Simone always go above and beyond with their first class service. We even sold a house while living in Australia which we thought was going to be a nightmare!! But David and Simone stepped up and made it all to easy for us. They are also some of the nicest, kindest people on the planet!!

–Nicola Baker Ignatovich

I worked with Rhan on purchasing my first home. He is very knowledgable, and accommodating. He shared plenty of information to me through out the process, and was very willing to work around my hectic schedule. The ability of being digital, via e-mail, text message, and talks over the phone made it very easy for me to further the process along whether home or on the road. But he doesn’t shy away from meeting up and talking face to face if the moment requires it. Would definitely recommend him, and his company to anyone else looking to purchase a home in the area.

–Jeremy Chapin

David and Simone are awesome!! They did an amazing job of walking us through the process as first time home buyers and provided tons of good advice with every step of the process. They were available and ready to answer any questions we had. It was a great experience and I’d recommend them to anyone.

–Wiley Howard

My wife and I were quite nervous about the selling of our home…for many reasons. David and Simone worked with us and helped us tremendously through the entire process!! They made it as easy for us and were very timely with their notices. We were very fortunate to have such outstanding realtors. We look forward to working with them for a buy or sale in the future!

–James David Turnage

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

“I’m incredibly indebted to David and Simone Karstedt for their help in the process of purchasing my home in Friendswood. 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.”

  –Dewayne Wheeland

“David is respectful to listen to what we were looking for in a home. He was considerate and mindful of our wish list items & then delivered several options to us for us to choose – and he KNEW which house was going to be the humdinger for us!!! I am the type of person who prefers this approach across the board. He doesn’t try to show you things you didn’t ask for outside of your perimeters without discussing it with you prior to see if that is the route you would like to go in. He was looking out for the best interest of my family by letting us know when would be the optimum time for us to put our house up for sale without having to figure out living quarters for our family of 5 should it sell before we moved into the new house. He was already doing the research of the area, to be ready for questions I may have or didn’t think to ask. Besides the nuts and bolts of real estate, which he has down, David is an all around honest to goodness God-fearing man that you’d want to have as your realtor.”

  –Micioni

“Could not ask for a better Real Estate Agent. David and his wife Simone are a great team and are great to work with. They are very prepared and knowledgeable. Even when we hit a snag with closing on a foreclosed home, David stayed on top of the situation, keeping us updated as much as possible. He made sure that we got the house and that everything was done correctly by the seller. I will definitely be using him again when we buy our next home.”

  –Neila Will

“We received fantastic service from David and Simone Karstedt! They are, hands down, the best in the business. Without being pushy, they gave my husband and I the best practical advice for purchasing our first home. Thank you both for your perfect direction and getting us into the home of our dreams! If you are looking for a home, call these two.”

  –Michelle McWhorter Ziglar

“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!”

–Vanessa Galaz

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.”

–Neil Williams

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.”

As I thought of all of these things, they led me to pray for you, your marriage, your son, your business, etc. I pray that God blesses you and grows you to be more and more like Him.”

Because of your expertise, you fought the battles no one would fight, from handling of the sale of our home to the transaction of buying our new home. There is no one in the world I would seek for help. With countless hours negotiating two transactions, you pulled through every time. My family sleeps soundly in the perfect home tonight because of you. My business prospers on top of that. Thank you for being awesome and for being an integral part of the Guthrie family happiness.”

–Mat & Noel Ann Wright

“I first began working with David in 2006 when he helped me find a wonderful home in Friendswood. It was perfect for my family, giving us water access in just a few minutes. David made this process seamless, and his professionalism and knowledge of real estate allowed me to enjoy house hunting. When I began looking for a home on the water in 2011, I contacted David immediately. He had my Friendswood house rented in less than a week. In these tough economic times, he was able to help me with a very unique financial plan, allowing me to purchase my waterfront home. I recommend David and his team to anyone looking for expert service and advice in the local real estate market.”

“This was our first time to buy a house and I couldn’t be happier! Simone was very easy to work with and was very helpful. I would highly recommend using her skills when it comes to buying a house. If/when we decide to sell and go elsewhere, I will be giving her a call! Thanks again for the help!!”

“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.”

–Jason and Tracy Taylor

David & Simone found the perfect house for us. We cannot say enough great things about the experience buying our new home. David worked patiently & tirelessly during the search process for the location we really wanted. During the purchase they were always just a phone call or text away answering the questions we had. If you want a fantastic home buying experience with true professionals, then call 1st Texas Realtors. After the sale they made sure we had all the support we needed moving in. We cannot thank David & Simone enough!!! Thank you 1st Texas Realtors!!!
