We had a great experience working with Warren McEnulty and his assistant, Claire Camp, on a recent real estate transaction. Claire was incredibly responsive, communicative, and helpful throughout the home buying process, keeping everything moving toward a smooth and successful closing. As a mortgage lending team, we value working with real estate professionals who prioritize their clients, communicate effectively, and make the process easier for everyone involved. We truly appreciated working with Warren and Claire and look forward to partnering with them on future transactions!

The Papasan team was excellent! I sent their information to a great friend of mine who was in need of a top listing agent in the Austin, TX area. They provided top notch service and communication, while getting my friend's home sold in a quickly timed manner. 5 stars!

Selling a home and moving is challenging, especially if you haven't done it in 20+ years. We're so thankful we worked with Wendy Papasan and her team. They're complete professionals. Communication was great, everything was defined clearly, all of our questions were answered and they listened to our goals and offered realistic feedback and sage advice based on their years of experience in the Austin market. And - we met our goals! While we might not decide to sell and move during an Austin summer again, we would not change working with The Papasan Properties Group.

Clearly working for the deal and not in our best interests
Update to address response: Our house was absolutely not sold off market. We received an off market offer, which was rejected because it was extremely low. We put the house on the market several months later, and then received the offer we eventually accepted. There were serious security issues during the initial viewing with the people who made the offer, including tampering with items in our house that do not convey, leaving doors to our home unlocked and in some cases wide open, and we told our agent that we did not want to work with these people, but would accept the offer under the assurance that he would be there for the entire inspection to make sure our house was properly locked and closed. It is literally the only reason we accepted the offer. We were then quite surprised to be informed that he was going to be on vacation for the inspection, and he would see if he could have someone step in, which he did, but they left long before the end of the inspection, which invalidates the point of them being there; to make sure the doors were locked and closed, and that nothing else in our house was tampered with.
During the negotiation, the agent also sent us an email that was clearly meant for the other agent saying something to the effect of ‘Hey man, I got mine to come down another $4k! Let’s do this!’ which he then tried to cover up by sending us a follow up email saying ‘I was going to send the agent something like that.’
Overall, we felt pushed into selling to people we didn’t want to sell to because we knew they were going to be trouble, and they were. Then when we asked for protections, they were promised and pulled out from under us. The email sealed the deal that no one was on our side.

Warren was amazing and has now helped us with the purchase of our second home! He is punctual, organized, and a pleasure to work with. We had a few last minute showings that he was able to make happen which in turn got us into a perfect home!
His assistant Nimai is amazing and provided us with reminders and check lists for every step of the way! Stop looking and call and request them NOW!!

Wendy is truly one of a kind. What sets her apart isn't just her knowledge of real estate, it's how deeply she cares about the people she works with and her dedication. She takes the time to really understand her clients, their goals, and what will genuinely work best for them.
What impressed me from the beginning was that I actually met Wendy while she was representing the seller of a home I was renting. I had a front-row seat watching her transform that property and saw firsthand how much attention, thought, and effort she puts into every detail. At one point, while I was away, her team even helped organize my messy garage (with permission, of course). That kind of thoughtfulness is rare, and saying she goes the extra mile doesn't even begin to cover it. Her attention to every detail to the home was remarkable.
Wendy's experience goes beyond traditional real estate. She develops her own projects, designs interiors, and understands every stage of the process from multiple perspectives. That gives her an incredible ability to see opportunities, solve problems, and guide clients with confidence.
After seeing how she worked, I knew there was no question who I wanted helping me find my next home. We are currently in that process now, and working with Wendy has been an absolute pleasure. She has a calming presence that makes what can be a stressful experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. She's proactive, intuitive, highly knowledgeable, and someone you genuinely want in your corner.
I can't recommend Wendy highly enough.

I've been putting off writing this review for months — not because I didn't know what to say, but because I wanted to find the right words. Wendy and her team deserve nothing less than the best, so here it is.
We were in the uniquely challenging position of selling our Austin home while living abroad. The logistics alone — the time zone differences, the inability to walk a property ourselves, the need for a representative we could trust completely — would have made most people anxious. Instead, we felt completely at ease. Wendy came highly recommended by a seasoned realtor friend whose opinion we deeply respect, and from the very first conversation, it was clear why. She took the time to understand our situation, our timeline, and our priorities, and she never once made us feel like a difficult case.
Selling wasn't simple. The Austin market at the time was unpredictable, and there were moments that required real finesse — from pricing strategy to fielding offers to navigating inspection negotiations. Wendy handled every twist with composure and expertise, keeping us informed every step of the way without overwhelming us. We walked away from that sale confident we'd gotten the very best possible outcome.
When it came time to buy, the decision to call Wendy again wasn't even a question. And buying turned out to be its own adventure. We looked at multiple properties, made several offers, and went through the kind of back-and-forth that can grind people down. Wendy never lost her energy or her enthusiasm. She was in the weeds with us — literally. I'm talking about pulling on boots and tromping through scrubby back acreage with us in the Texas heat, chiggers and all, to make sure we really understood each property before we committed. That kind of boots-on-the-ground commitment is rare.
Her network is equally impressive. When we needed a handyman, a painter, a landscaper — she had trusted contacts ready. And it didn't stop there. Wendy's team functions as a true one-stop shop: from connecting us with preferred vendors, inspectors, financing and everything in between, every piece of the transaction exceeded our expectations of competence and ease. Every referral she made was someone who showed up, did quality work, and treated us like a priority.
I should also mention: we called Wendy at some truly odd hours. Time zones, late-night worry spirals, urgent questions — she was always there. Responsive, calm, and genuinely warm. Not once did we feel like a burden.
We eventually found and purchased our dream property, and I can say without hesitation that we would not be there without Wendy. She brought a commanding knowledge of the market, a breadth of experience we haven't seen in any other agent, and a grace under pressure that is simply her own.
We started this process as clients. We ended it as friends. If you are buying or selling in Austin — especially if your situation is complex — there is no one else I would recommend. Wendy and the Papasin Properties team are, without question, first-class.

Wendy Papasan and her team are phenomenal! We've used their services for years and have always been pleased with the knowledge and expertise. We've purchased 3 homes and sold another. They've listed our rental properties 3 separate times with ease, and our tenants have worked out great. Wendy Papasan and Chris Hall are not only our real estate agents, but they're also our friends. We highly recommend this business!

Wendy and her team are incredible! They made selling our home a seamless experience and ensured we got a good price from the sale even when we were in a soft market. We appreciate Wendy's deep market knowledge and data-driven approach to positioning our home in the market. Her team also provided an amazing platform to sell our furniture and other household items, which was a godsend given our plan to downsize. Thank you, Wendy and the Papasan Team on professional, caring, and stress-free experience - we appreciate you!

I entered into a purchase agreement based on Wendy's and Derek's recommendation of a home in Austin. Yes, I was a fool because when I arrived from Oklahoma, I found a house that was built by unskilled labor. Windows would not latch, trim pieces had never been finished out, plumbing was not to code, best of all - the house was very close to train tracks. The house had been empty for 6 months. A local plumber - lovely gentleman - informed me that the pipes had frozen because the house was not winterized. No telling what kind of mess would have been encountered if the water had been turned on. Derek was sorry I did not like the house. It was so bad that my dog wouldn't go near it.
