View All"CJ was completely responsive and professional. He let us know all of the positives and negatives of each decision without mandating the way we should move forward. He was constantly respectful and hardworking even in tough moments. CJ was instrumental in helping my wife and I find the home of our dreams. I would not hesitate to suggest him to anyone."

★★★★★ "My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrea Amico from Compass to sell our home during one of the most difficult real estate markets out there, and I cannot express enough how grateful we are for her exceptional services. Throughout the entire process, Andrea demonstrated a remarkable level of dedication and commitment. All of our questions were responded to quickly and she kept us on task, ensuring we were never caught off guard with an upcoming deadline. Andrea was always available to address any concerns or provide guidance, making us feel confident and at ease during what was a very stressful time (Did I mention our move was cross country?)Thanks to Andrea's guidance we were under contract within 72 hours and closed in less than 4 weeks (March-2023)We wholeheartedly recommend Andrea to anyone in need of a reliable and results-driven realtor. Whether you are buying or selling a property, you can trust her expertise and rest assured that she will go the extra mile to exceed your expectations."-Jeanine N.

★★★★★ "Andrea made the stressful process of being a homeowner into one that was fun, exciting, and decidedly stress-less! From the moment I met her, I knew her bubbly and inquisitive personality would be so beneficial for me navigating all the ins and outs of tours, paperwork, contracts, and more.She worked seamlessly to make sure I could tour based on my schedule and availability, answered all my questions in an extremely timely manner, took into account my preferences and styles perfectly, and communicated without my asking to the sellers, title companies, and everyone without missing a hitch.To top it off, she made the very best personal gift to greet me at my signing appointment. Andrea is simply the best, and I wouldn't have wanted to have anyone else at my side during this process. 10000% recommend. I couldn't sing higher praises!"-Selina N

"I cannot say enough good things about CJ and his team, to say the least, they make life easy! Having been through many real estate transactions, CJ definitely sets the bar high. Being an out-of-state buyer, CJ came recommended by a local agent. Even before landing in Austin, CJ’s professional, easygoing personality and very apparent worth ethic made me feel at ease. CJ and his team are truly an all-in-house, white-glove experience. When I was not in town he was there to meet with anyone from contractors to interior decorators. Anything I needed he made happen!"
Chase May
"I cannot recommend CJ highly enough. There are a lot of people in this business as a side gig or for their own self-interest. CJ truly cares about his clients and has the industry knowledge to guide them to do what’s best for their situation. No one will work harder for you! Because of his great work, we found a forever home in one of the toughest markets. I will probably not need to use his services again, but I would never use anyone else if I do!"

★★★★★ "Andrea's knowledge, expertise and professionalism shone through during our experience working with her. She tailored her services to our individual needs and provided an incredibly personalized experience for us. From day one, she took her time to understand our timing and unique needs. She was encouraging and willing to listen every step of the way. Andrea's communication skills and responsiveness were remarkable. There was never a moment when we were waiting on her to be proactive or to respond to an email or a phone call. She was always organized and on top of every single detail. She provided support beyond just the transaction. She genuinely cares about you and your family. Andrea is not only an incredibly hard working, driven and reliable realtor, she is also the most beautiful individual inside and out. We are so grateful for her time and effort!" - Heather M.

"If you are looking for a great agent, CJ is your man. We were referred to him by our long time agent in Newport Beach, CA. From the first point of contact to this day, CJ has been nothing short of amazing. He helped us navigate the bidding process to win out against an all-cash offer and guided us through a challenging escrow period to a successful close. We have already introduced friends to CJ and look forward to working with him again on our next purchase."

"Andrea worked hard to get us into our dream property which included working through multiple unique scenarios and a more difficult seller. She navigated each situation well and I always felt incredibly confident that she had our best interest at heart. Definitely using her again!"

"Andrea is one of a kind. Her kindness, compassion, and intelligence set her apart from all other agents. Being a mortgage lender for two decades now; it is refreshing to know that there are quality people like her in this real estate world. Keep rocking Andrea, and I look forward to working with you."

"We were having a lot of trouble selling a unique and expensive property in a difficult market. Then we met CJ. He is everything you want in a realtor, professional, responsive, incredibly hard-working, and full of fresh ideas. He knows this industry inside and out. Not only did he get us top dollar for our sale (in cash), but also turned around and got us a huge discount on a new purchase. Whether you are buying or selling CJ is the realtor you have been looking for."
Matt W.
★★★★★ "We have moved a lot and worked with a lot of realtors. Andrea was my favorite since day one. Every time we met she came with a folder of info and was prepared for any question that I might have. I trusted her plan and everything worked out just like she said it would. Andrea went above and beyond to make things as easy as possible for me while I was out of town. She even made sure the house was doing ok and the grass was being cut so I didn’t have to. The house was sold for the full asking price and I made a very good friend at the same time. Thank You Andrea." -BB

"We are just over a month into homeownership and I can't thank Andrea enough for helping us get here. She was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout our search for a home in Austin. Her tenacity was invaluable in negotiating our closing date and managing communication between us, the builder (seller), and our lender. But I'm most grateful for the trust I was able to place in Andrea that she was looking out for us each step of the way."

Working with CJ and KURB GROUP was truly exceptional during what could have been an overwhelming transition. After our previous listing agent fell short, CJ stepped in and completely transformed our experience selling our million-dollar+ home in this challenging market. Key Differentiators: Photography + Video Marketing Support Network, Network, Network.... CJ knows more about the intricate details of a real estate transaction and about the Austin market than most anyone else. From traffic, to future developments, to potential opportunities in the future. What sets CJ apart is his ability to go beyond just being a real estate agent. He expertly guided us through the complexities of our cross-country move from Austin to Florida and back, providing support and solutions at every turn. His market knowledge, negotiation skills, and attention to detail were impressive, but it was his genuine care and dedication that made all the difference. The entire KURB GROUP team demonstrated professionalism and commitment throughout the process. They were responsive, proactive, and always had our best interests at heart - which is RARE. CJ's expertise in high-value properties and complex transactions was evident, but what truly stands out is how he made us feel like a priority rather than just another client. The best outcome of this experience wasn't just successfully selling our home - it was gaining a trusted friend. CJ's authentic approach, integrity, and willingness to go the extra mile have earned our highest recommendation. If you're looking for a real estate professional who combines expertise with genuine care, CJ and KURB GROUP are the total package.

I had an excellent experience with Andrea when searching and purchasing my home in 2022. She is very knowledgeable, dedicated, and highly responsive. She was always available to answer any questions and worked around my unpredictable work schedule. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Gracian M
"I bought this home about six months ago after an extensive search for modern homes in the Austin area. What I found was a builder that not only builds homes but creates works of art. Unique architectural features throughout the home truly makes it spectacular. Most impressive has been the collaborative spirit during the building process. This collaboration between me and the builder has continued even after the completion of the home. It has resulted in a high-quality product with attention to detail. In summary, I would highly recommend this builder."

We have moved several times and Andrea is hands down the best real estate agent we’ve ever worked with. We were hesitant listing, and had a tight timeline so knew several things needed to line up. She rolled up her sleeves and helped expedite getting our house listed. Andrea’s experience and knowledge of the market helped us price right and to get the best exposure to receive an offer within weeks. She even put us in touch with agents in our new state that helped us find a house, emphasizing our timeline. Andrea went out of her way to help answer questions and do research before, during and after the deal. Her communication was phenomenal as Andrea was a part of the process every step of the way, helping make our home sale smooth and stress-free.
Kate C.
"If you are looking for a REALTOR® who will take the stress out of your home buying or selling experience, and add confident expertise you've found it in Andrea Amico. She found my first home for me, and I'm so pleased and satisfied with all the hard work she put in. She was always highly prepared, available, and proactive. She anticipated every question and need before I even knew I needed it. Truly above and beyond. She made this experience joyful, smooth, and painless. Would give her 10 stars if I could. Highly recommend."
Joanie C.
"We had a wonderful experience with Andrea. She helped me paint my fence! Andrea is kind, responsive, proactive and caring. She went above and beyond for us! Highly recommend you hire Andrea as your REALTOR®."

"CJ is a fantastic agent. I can't say enough good things about his professionalism and personal attention to my property. He gets the job done, is honest and forthright with his comments and suggestions. He is always available and reliable and makes a habit of weekly updates. I always knew what to expect and when I needed to make adjustments. He was able to negotiate what I consider the best offer for my property. CJ has a great sense of humor and can laugh about things that crop up unexpectedly and then deal with them with determination. I can't recommend him highly enough."
Lea B.
"CJ is an extraordinary agent with a network of amazing contacts. When it came to selling our unique property in Westlake Hills not only did he bring massive value, but he went out of his way to deliver a Class A experience for us. We are extremely pleased and would recommend him to anyone in Austin!"
Melissa B.
"I recently sold a business and was looking to relocate to Austin Texas. My wife had been following CJ on Instagram for a while and really loved his style and the properties that he listed. We gave CJ a list of must-haves in our new home. Within two weeks CJ had secured an off-market property for us to view. We flew in, we saw the property, we wrote the offer, and we were in our new house within 45 days of meeting CJ. We highly highly highly suggest using CJ for all of your modern home needs in the Austin Texas Area."
Gabe
"It's official! We are homeowners in ATX. We had the BEST experience with Andrea Amico. We couldn't have done it without her. She went above and beyond many times over and even though the housing market is incredibly competitive here, her tenacity and commitment got us the house. Plus, we had a blast working with her."
Serena M
"CJ did an excellent job. He worked with us, was effective in communication, provided options to approaching the sell of our house, supported our decided approach, handled negotiations with poise and professionalism, had solutions to any obstacles, and got us the pricing we wanted. He is easy to work with and goes the extra mile for his clients. Many thanks and would recommend him for any real estate needs."
Andrew E.
"Andrea did a fantastic job finding us an amazing house in Austin when we moved here from NYC. We had to do our search remotely and she made the process as easy as possible. We couldn't possibly have been happier with the entire experience."
Brian B
Andrea went above and beyond for me in my search for a home in a specific neighborhood. When one transaction went awry (the sellers backed out) she went knocking on doors to see if anyone in the neighborhood was interested in selling. We found the perfect house which was a better fit than the first one! I highly recommend using Andrea as your agent.
Kathryn M
"My husband and I recently engaged CJ Shaffer to sell our Central Austin home and we were not disappointed! CJ and his team are professional, experienced and extremely responsive - they made the process of readying our home to sell as well as the whole selling experience very easy and stress-free. CJ guided us in our decisions on what to do (and what not to do) to freshen up the house, coordinated getting quotes as well as oversaw the work performed. He communicated with us proactively, always reaching out with updates from the listing through the closing process. And most importantly, CJ’s marketing of our property was top-notch! Beautiful photos, videos and staging all brought a lot of potential buyers. We highly recommend CJ and KURB Group to list and sell your home!"
Pam H.
"Canaan creates a beautifully designed, energy efficient home with high quality materials. It’s built for open spaces, lots of light and simple lines. Sam has maintained a relationship with us well beyond the purchase of our home and swings by when we have the occasional question or minor repair. He takes pride in the quality of his work and the relationships with his buyers. If we ever outgrow this home, we’ll definitely build another with Sam."
Ashley T.
"We tried a couple REALTORS® over the years who did not listen to us and had their own agenda. CJ was different from the very beginning. He is extraordinarily competent and was able to anticipate anything that we considered or proposed. Within a short time, we had two offers at our asking price (in cash) and the final offer came in about a month later with no inspection requirement. CJ has a rare combination of skills and the type of personality that can keep all the pieces of a transaction together, moving towards a closing without fail. That is tough to pull off in a multi-million-dollar market with fickle buyers."
