Your Allandale Real Estate Agent

Allandale is a North Central Austin neighborhood between Burnet Road and MoPac, mostly mid-century homes with a real mix of original and remodeled construction. I’ve laid out the boundaries, schools, and housing stock in full on my Allandale neighborhood page. What I want to cover here is what it actually looks like to work with me, whether you’re buying or selling. I’m Robbie English, REALTOR, Broker at Uncommon Realty, and I handle Allandale transactions personally on both sides.

TLDR: Working with Me in Allandale

I represent Allandale buyers and sellers directly, not handed off to a team member you haven’t met.
Comps and pricing come from actual Allandale closings, not a blended Central Austin number.
About 60% of the neighborhood is original mid-century construction, so I check original electrical, plumbing, and foundation condition closely on every home I show or list.
Uncommon Rentals by Uncommon Realty is available if renting fits your plans better than selling right now.

How I work with Allandale buyers

Robbie English, REALTOR, Principle Agent, Broker, National Instructor, ABR, AHWD, CRB, C2EX, E-Pro, GRI, MRP, NHC, PSA, RENE, RPR, SFR, SRS, TBS, TLS, TAHS Well-priced, updated Allandale homes tend to move fast given the location and lot sizes, so I get buyers pre-approved and ready before we start touring. When we find the right house, I help you weigh what’s original charm versus what’s a real maintenance issue. Those two things get confused a lot in a neighborhood this architecturally distinctive. If you’re specifically shopping as a buyer and want more on how I approach that, I’ve written a deeper page on it: choosing the right Allandale buyer’s agent.

How I work with Allandale sellers

I price against recent Allandale-specific sales, factoring in lot size, school zone, and how much of the original structure versus how much has been updated or expanded. I walk your home with an eye toward what buyers’ inspectors will flag given the age of most Allandale housing stock: original electrical panels, cast-iron or galvanized plumbing, and any signs of foundation movement. Some of that is worth fixing before we list, some is better handled as a disclosed item with pricing that reflects it, and I’ll give you a straight answer on which is which.

Negotiating your offer

Once offers come in, whether you’re buying or selling, I read the terms the way I train other agents to as a national real estate instructor. What an inspection response or a fast closing request actually signals about the other side’s position matters more than the headline number, and I’ll tell you plainly what I think it means before you have to decide anything.

If you’d rather rent than sell

Not every Allandale homeowner should sell into the current market. If holding and renting makes more sense for you, Uncommon Rentals by Uncommon Realty can tell you what the property would realistically rent for and manage it long-term.
