About me:
I have been working as a full-time Realtor in the Austin Texas Real Estate market since January 1997. My years of experience have served me well as the broker and owner of Austin Texas Homes, LLC, which I started along with my business partner in October 2004.
I sell homes in all areas of town and in all price ranges (in recent years I sold properties ranging from $62,500 to $3.4 million). I am known among my past clients for my integrity, honesty and willingness to "go the extra mile" for buyers and sellers.
I have been married for 19 years to my beautiful wife, Pam, and we have four beautiful children: a 13-year old boy, an 11-year old girl, a 6-year old girl, and a 3-year old girl.
We are avid homeschoolers, and active members of our church (Christ Presbyterian Church in Georgetown), where I am an ordained deacon. I've been a follower of Christ since 1991.

Testimonials:
"After years of apartment dwelling, the thought of becoming first-time
homebuyers was exciting ... until the process of searching actually began.
Overwhelmed with floor plans, builders, neighborhoods, taxes, and amenities (we could go on and on and on) right from the start, we trudged along without too much guidance and almost reached the point of reconsidering our decision.
That's when Jason Crouch and Austin Texas Homes stepped in.
We spoke with Jason over the phone for about 10 minutes one evening, and upon completing our brief call, felt considerably more at ease.
He steered us through the 'muddy water' that is Central Texas home buying, and not only answered all our questions, but gave us sound and accurate advice on everything from builders to building materials. He was also there, Tuesday evening or all day Saturday, whenever we needed him.
Jason's wealth of knowledge in a plethora of areas, and the fact that he has a remote controlled TV in his mini-van so that Matt could watch the NFL playoffs, made him the most vital part in our search for a new home.
Even when our initial decision fell through, Jason and the entire staff at
Austin Texas Homes were there to lend a hand until WE were completely satisfied.
Jason Crouch turned out to be a tremendous realtor, and in our home-buying process, became a trusted friend.
In our opinion, Austin Texas Homes, LLC is a 'must-have' for any home buying
endeavor."
Matt Alexander and Jennifer McCollum
"I'm so thankful for the friendly, honest help my family received from Jason. We certainly had specific needs that needed to be addressed as well as particular decor and landscape requirements. Thank you again for making a stressful transition in our lives as relaxed and pleasant as possible."
Jill Grier
"Jason was key in helping us find our new home. He listened to all of our
preferences and requirements, and he didn't waste time showing us homes he knew we wouldn't be interested in.
In fact, we ended up buying the house he thought we'd like the best. His advice and insight was very helpful throughout the purchasing process. Whenever we had questions he was more than happy to take the time to provide us with accurate answers that were easy to understand.
Jason made the home buying process much less stressful with his patience and willingness to help. We have recommended him to many friends, and when it's time for us to buy another house, he'll be the first person we call."
Kristin and Max Thomas
"Jason - We would like to thank you for handling both of our recent real estate transactions. Deciding to sell and buy a home can be a very stressful ordeal. Prior to meeting you, we met with a real estate agent who used the typical sales jargon and pressure tactics which proved to be quite a discouraging experience. However, your high level of professionalism and honesty are the qualities that clients are looking for when faced with a real estate transaction. You responded in a most efficient and pleasant manner to our numerous telephone calls and provided us with sincere and direct responses to our questions and concerns. You did an excellent job of marketing our home and being available to meet with the many interested potential buyers. All of your efforts were sincerely appreciated."
Harold and Janice Wash
In the spring we decided to buy a house. We had looked around and decided to have one built. We were first time homebuyers and felt like we needed someone to act on our behalf, so we contacted Jason and asked him to act as our agent. He took a tour of the builder we were thinking about using and pointed out things with the house that we should be aware of. As Jason pointed out, he was not just selling us a house as a one time deal; he saw us as long-term customers. He was uncomfortable with the builder because he had seen their neighborhoods five years down the road and did not think that the property increased in value as much as other neighborhoods.
He spent several days taking us to look at houses. We were so picky that we thought we would never find anything that was right for us and still in our price range. He was picky for us too. He knew about neighborhoods and wanted to put us in the best neighborhood we could afford. The very last house on the third day was the one--a nice two story with great hardwood floors in a really good neighborhood. We love our house and credit Jason with finding it for us. We have driven by the house we almost had built, and we sigh a huge sigh of relief. We feel like we really dodged a bullet on that one. We compare the neighborhoods and realize that the house we bought was a much better investment in the long term than the one we were thinking about building. We are thrilled that he wasn't afraid to give us good advice even if it meant more work for him.
We know Jason likes our house, too. That works great because when it comes time to sell it, he'll be the one who puts it on the market. He has
certainly earned our business with his honesty and patience, and we
wouldn't trust anyone else with such a huge investment.
Joy Yokley Goodreau
Austin Texas Homes, LLC is an excellent team of professionals. I felt very comfortable working with Jason and anytime I had a question, there was always someone available to answer it. You have a great system, and as a client I felt very well taken care of and informed. You guys are the very best!"
