Keller Williams Realty

About Jaymes

Jaymes came to Austin in 1984 after earning his BBA in Marketing from Eastern Michigan University. He began his real estate career as a new home sales agent.

After spending seven years with builders, Jaymes turned to brokerage sales. He went on to pilot his own residential brokerage, Providence Realty Group. Building his business from the ground up, Jaymes learned the importance of technology in real estate marketing, and has utilized and stressed its importance throughout his career. To stay on the cutting edge of technology and growth, Jaymes moved his company underneath the Keller Williams Realty umbrella. The Jaymes Willoughby Team continues to be named as a top 5 agent in the Austin Metro Area by the Austin Business Journal. Jaymes and his team started a dog rescue effort years ago, and since then has affiliated themselves with Addicous Dog Rescue. Their focus is helping find foster parents for dogs that are days away from death in Texas’ dog kill shelters. The JW Team has annual fundraising events to raise money for dogs transitioning from death row to a happy “furever home.”

How’s the housing market? Hear it straight from the experts!

Gain instant access to their expertise and the hottest trends shaping real estate with this free, jam-packed five chapter report for buyers and sellers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a top real estate agent do?

Top real estate agents have more local expertise, prepare in-depth market analyses, and have industry connections that you can’t find by yourself. They know your neighborhood like the back of their hand and use their market knowledge to sell your home faster than the average agent and for money.

What should you look for when interviewing a real estate agent in Austin?

When you sell a house, your real estate agent becomes your business partner, financial advisor, and emotional support system. It’s crucial to partner with someone you trust, so make sure you’re looking for an agent who can answer all of your questions with confidence during the interview. During this process, you want to get to know the agent’s business and find out how well they know the area. You’re listening for things that signal experience, expertise in your community, and workload. Selling a home takes an enormous amount of work, so you need an agent who’s got a plan for prep, pricing, and marketing and who is ready to roll up their sleeves to get the job done.

How important is it to hire a top real estate agent in Austin?

Our data shows that the top 5% of listing agents sell homes for as much as (+9%) more than the average real estate agent. A great agent makes a difference when you buy a house, too: We’ve found that the top 5% of buyer’s agents on average save their clients 2.5% more on their home purchase. So, whether you’re in the market to find your dream home or sell your house at a great price, the right agent matters. We encourage you to connect with a top real estate agent if you’re buying or selling a home in Austin, TX.

When is the right time to hire a real estate agent in Austin?

The best window to contact an agent to sell your home is anywhere from three to six months in advance of your list date. When you start the search for an agent several months before hitting the market, there’s plenty of time to find the best agent, make key renovations, and market your home effectively, all of which are essential steps in selling your home for a great price. You can also hire an agent based on the best time to sell in Austin to take advantage of seasonal and cyclical trends in the market. The right time to hire a real estate agent depends on the temperature of the housing market. For example, the best time to sell in Austin is in May. And since it takes around 3 months to close on a home, you should list in February. We recommend that you hire a real estate agent as soon as you’re thinking of selling your home. Generally speaking, that’s anywhere from 3 to 6 months prior to your desired move date.

What is the average real estate agent commission for agents in Austin?

While individual real estate agent commissions do vary, most real estate agents in Austin work for 6% of the home price.

Why should I use HomeLight Set to find a Austin real estate agent?

HomeLight Set analyzes all real estate agent in Austin to bring you custom, unbiased, data-driven recommendations. We use actual home sales transaction data to compare Austin real estate agent and will only introduce you to the top performing agents. They do not pay to advertise on our site and we do not pay to list them.
