"What People Say" About Clive Hinton

"Clive proves that service, commitment, integrity and genuine concern is alive and well. He ALWAYS went beyond what we normally would expect from a Realtor. He became a trusted friend during the process. Our needs and wishes were always foremost in Clive's actions. I know of no other Realtor that would work with a client for nearly 1.5 years! We will recommend Clive without reservation...as one could not ask for a better person/agent."
Robert Kelly

 

"Clive provided just the right amount of information for us when we first contacted him. He encouraged us to peruse his website for homes that we might be interested in and then give him feedback so that he could narrow our search parameters. We were waiting for our home to sell in Mexico and he waited patiently with us. He was always encouraging, but never pushy. We were not able to sell our home for one year, but Clive remained by our sides all of this time. When we finally did sell and we told him that we were coming to Austin to look at homes of interest to us, he cleared his schedule and showed those homes to us. None of them were what we were looking for, but through his research we were able to find a home that met our needs. Clive provided helpful information about upgrading aspects of our new home and followed through in our absence to make sure that things were accomplished in a timely manner. Since we live in Mexico we were not able to follow through for ourselves, but Clive filled in for us and made certain that our needs and desires were met. He is a credit to the profession and we will not hesitate to call on him again when we are ready to look for another home."
Ted L. Dresie

 

"In October of 2008, my wife and I decided to take a chance and buy our dream home before we sold our existing house. In such a bad market, this was very risky, however, thanks to Clive; it couldn't have turned out better. With Clive's feedback, expertise and strong negotiation skills, we bought the new house for a great price and sold our old house for what we wanted in only three weeks! Clive didn’t always tell us what we wanted to hear but he told us what we needed to hear and that’s why our house sold so quickly.

Clive is not just good, he is the best Realtor I have ever worked with, and I have worked with quite a few! He never missed a detail, was always available, and was always looking out for our interests. It is clear that for Clive, excellent service is a passion and an art form. I cannot recommend him enough. Do not hesitate to call him! "
Carol and David Marine (2nd transaction)

 

"Clive was incredible. In addition to his frequent contacts to touch base and arrange visits to homes, he was always prepared and willing to meet with me at any time. He paid attention to what I was looking for and added that to homes he screened. He pointed out good points of a house as well as any flaws. There wasn't a time that I felt I was in this by myself. Once I hooked up with Clive, I never thought for a minute about changing realtors. I would highly recommend him. "
Susan Hunter

 

"I recently accepted a position in Austin and needed to find a house fast. I "accidentally" met Clive and it was a blessing ... Prior to working with Clive, I had been referred to another agent. She did not listen to what I needed … I ended up talking with Clive. Within minutes, he sent me a list of searches meeting my criteria. He made some suggestions and as he learned about me and my boys (two little dogs) and he was able to offer more welcome advice. I found a house in 4 days with Clive's help and made a successful move to Austin."
Rebecca Pack

 

"I found Clive to be extremely attentive to my needs and concerns. He was a pleasure to work with. I'm very happy with my new home!"
Constance Scharff

 

"Clive was always prepared, flexible, and thought on his feet. We threw him several curves and he handled with ease. He represented us in a grand way and is the picture of professionalism. Although we were not a very profitable client for him, he treated us as if we were very important to him. We intend to use him in any future purchases and certainly will refer people to him.

And he talked funny! (with that British accent!!!) "
Jan and Mike Sandlin

 

"First-rate operation!"
Michael A. Faia, Ph.D.

 

"From the initial meeting, the professionalism and “We can do this” attitude really impressed us. The level of effort even on the pre-work was really a cut above the other realtors that we interviewed. Clive had spent time on doing his preliminary back-ground and took time to make us feel good about going into this sell. At all times, we felt and knew Clive was in our corner making sure that we got a price that was fair to both us and the buyers. On behalf of my wife and I, we both recommend Clive with the highest of regard."
Ronnie and Michelle Livingston

 

"Superior customer service! Clive made it happen for our family. He was extremely attentive to our priorities and our needs. It was a rare pleasure working with Clive to find our new home."
Ben & Michele Sandlin

 

"Clive, you went way past going the extra mile in helping us with our home purchase, you worked with us for months, even though you knew the first few visits were more fact finding about the area and what was available for us. You were always very helpful and kept us up to date with what was going on with homes in the area, and once we found the area we wanted to move to you worked hard finding properties that fit our needs for us to look at...We could not have chosen a better Realtor for the job."
Jim and Jennifer Morrison

 

"Thank you so much for all the help buying my new home. Your knowledge of the local housing markets and your ability to negotiate an agreement in my best interest proved invaluable. I very much appreciate the exceptional attention to detail in every phase of finding the right home, and then throughout the negotiation phases of the agreement. Your personal concern for your client is exceptional, it was clear at all times that your goal was to work in my best interest."
Ben Mallinger

 

"It was an inspiration to meet such a good agent and, I must say you restored my belief that there are truly some great agents out there!"
Beth Shillibeer

 

"Clive was my agent in my recent purchase of a condominium in downtown Austin. Clive continually amazed me throughout the process. The initiatives he took made the buying and closing process both pleasant and painless. Clive took better care of me in this transaction than I would have myself. From writing up my offers to going above and beyond assisting with the inspection process to escalating the financing process during these credit squeeze times.

Thank you Clive for everything you did to get me into my new home. "
Steven M. Gorman

 

"His negotiation skills and focus on positive results is what makes him so successful."

Adam Creighton

 

"I can't begin to recommend Clive highly enough! He is one of those rare high integrity people combined with natural leadership skills that people just want to follow."
