LJ Sternberg

LJ is a Texas native who put down roots freshman year in an Austin that was more Slackers than SoHo House and his blood has run orange ever since. LJ has evolved along with the city, stepping away from the corporate tech shuffle to move his passion for real estate from side project to the main stage. There’s a value to what drives life in Austin. LJ felt it back when he first got here, and he feels it now in the lifestyle it offers to his family and what he seeks to show his clients. "I want you in a house, but I want you in the right house and I’ll do the work to get us there. My open door policy encourages you to call with a question long after the keys are handed over. As your partner in your home journey— I am in it for the long haul." ~LJ

Found Wonderful Renters, Twice

LJ has found renters for our rental property twice now and both times he was amazing. Took almost no time to find good, qualified renters and the overall process was just super hands off for me and efficient

LJ is a Wonderful Human

LJ is a wonderful human. I always felt he listened to me and considered all the options carefully to best help my family navigate the difficult responsibility of selling my deceased Father's home of 30 years. I highly recommend LJ! Thank you LJ.

He Went Above and Beyond

LJ went above and beyond for us, helping us with the entire process of buying our new home AND renting out our old place. He was professional and easy to understand. He’s been very gracious to extend extra advice from his own experience buying and leasing - answering our practical questions that we otherwise didn’t really know who to ask.

I Relocated from Seattle

LJ helped me find a rental home in Austin when I relocated from Seattle late last year ('23). I was new to Austin and he counseled me on locations and established a baseline for what we should be looking at. I then reviewed multiple listings remotely through his website, narrowed down a few that he would then do a walk through over FaceTime. He was impartial and direct with his observations on the property, patient, and ever willing to show more homes. We did this a few times and I was able to sign up one without actually taking a look - got luckily :) and the house is beautiful. I keep going back to him for recommendations with house maid, services etc. and he has always been able to recommend excellent resources. LJ is a long time Austin native and I would highly recommend his services.

My Co-Worker Referred LJ to Me

My co-worker worked with LJ last year and referred me to him when we needed to make the move to Austin for my work. We didn't know where we wanted to live, so we really needed an Austin expert to help us understand the pros and cons of the city's countless neighborhoods and to navigate the competitive Austin market. It was immediately clear that LJ knows his stuff - everything from school quality to traffic patterns to future construction - he was an invaluable source of knowledge during our search. Ultimately, we chose a new construction property which was near completion. LJ went above and beyond, ensuring the property was completed to the highest standards while we were still 200 miles away in Dallas. We are so thankful we decided to work with LJ!

Overwhelmed with My Parents

I was overwhelmed trying to move my elderly parents closer to me from out of state. LJ Residential was amazing helping me find the right property to accommodate their needs while also making the overall process as easy as possible. Not only did LJ bring expertise in finding a property and getting the best price, he was also able to connect me with resources for financing and inspections that were equally patient and kind. Thank you LJ for helping my family through this huge transition!!

First Time Home Buyer

Being first-time home buyers, we had A LOT of questions. LJ clearly and patiently answered every single one. Even though we kept hearing how slow the real estate market was, we found ourselves in a multiple offer situation. LJ was able to avoid a bidding war and coached us to put our best foot forward - and we got the house! Simply put, we would not be in our amazing home if it wasn't for the guidance and support LJ gave us. I have been telling all of my friends and co-workers about LJ!

He Showed Us Around

LJ was great to work with. He was super knowledgeable on the housing market in Austin and even took time out of his Saturday to show us multiple places.

I Needed a Downtown Condo

I needed a downtown rental within walking distance to my office, and LJ met me on my lunch break to look at a few options. By the time the lunch hour ended, he had found the perfect place for me. I wish he didn't work so fast so we could have spent more time together!

He Coached Me to Get My Dream Home!

LJ found us the perfect house with the view of our dreams. We never would have won out among the many bids without LJ’s knowledge of the situation, his guidance, quick action and persistence. The relationship we built with the owner during the open house (because of LJ’s coaching) was key. Every time someone comes over to my house, the first thing they say is ‘What a view!’ and I have LJ to thank for that.
