Austin Commercial Real Estate Specialist

"I am writing this letter as a testimonial to the honesty and competence of Fred Higgins. I first met Fred when we worked together in a commercial appraisal shop in the late 1970's. He soon changed his career to brokerage, but since that time, I have worked with him on several properties I appraised while he was marketing them.

In every instance, I found his integrity outstanding. I no instance have I seen Fred do anything contrary to the interests of his clients. His personal and business ethics are of the highest standards. So far as Fred's abilities are concerned, no broker in Austin rivals his understanding of income properties. Further, his experience and knowledge of the land market are unequalled."

"I was totally ignorant when called upon to consider the purchase of a sizable piece of real estate. I was referred to Fred Higgins, whom I had never met, by several persons in and related to the commercial real estate industry. My selection of Fred to represent my interests was one of the best decisions. Fred took it upon himself to teach me what I needed to know to make a decision on what to buy and how to buy it. He offered me a number of selections with a listing of the plusses and minuses of each. We were under a time restraint and Fred did not waste time on properties that were not suitable or available within the time frame for reasons he fully explained.

He has a knack for presenting the facts and letting you make up your mind as to your preferences. If you asked his preferences, he would give them to you with his reasons as why they fit or did not fit our parameters for a purchase. He was always available by phone or in person. He provided information about lenders, title matters, attorneys, etc. without prejudice, always giving several options but leaving us to make the final decision. He is a wealth of knowledge."

"I have had the opportunity to work with Fred Higgins over 20 or more years on a variety of transactions from leases to sales and purchases of improved and unimproved properties. In many of these instances we have had common clients. I have found Fred to be very conscientious, competent and careful in focusing on the interests of his clients, and to have the ability to communicate effectively with very diverse groups of clients."

"I have worked with many real estate brokers and agents over my 27 years of practicing law, and know that there are some brokers and agents who disappear during the course of the transaction. Fred is not one of those. Fred stays involved, asks what he can do to help out, and has one of those refreshing 'do whatever it takes' attitudes to serve his clients. I have always been confident that any task assigned to Fred will be handled accurately, without complaint and without the need for close supervision.

I have now known Fred for several years and can attest to the fact that he works well with people and has a high regard for serving his client's best interests. Fred would be at the top of my list as a broker/agent to work with in a real estate transaction."
