Helen Edwards

Realtor

License #:: 0372895

Helen Edwards is one of the most trusted and knowledgeable real estate experts in Texas. A native Texan and long-time Austin resident, she delivers a rare combination of technical and personal skills to clients faced with what can be a stressful transaction — the sale of their most valuable asset.

Expect the highest degree of honesty and integrity from Helen with an unsurpassed knowledge of the metro real estate market. She also brings calm and confidence to the process.

For 25 years, Helen led Coldwell Banker United, REALTORS — one of the most successful and widely recognized residential real estate franchises in the country — in a variety of executive positions. From 2004 until December 2017, Helen served as the company president.

Helen served on the boards of Austin Board or REALTORS, the directors for ABoR and Williamson County of ABoR, representing more than 12,000 licensed agents. With that extensive leadership experience, Helen is well versed about trends, hot topics and technology as they impact the profession today.

Her high standards of excellence were honored in 2001 when she was named REALTOR of the Year in Williamson County.

Against the backdrop of professional superlatives, is Helen’s love for Central Texas — her home base since growing up in Brenham — often called the “bluebonnet capital of Texas” and considered the state’s birthplace. That quintessential Lone Star upbringing involved hard work on the family’s ranch and that work ethic remains a foundation of her business style.

Steve Barnes, a Houston real estate consultant and a former executive with Coldwell Banker United, considers Helen one of his dearest friends and a role model.
Her “empathy quotient,” he said, may only be rivaled by her technical acumen and follow through. Add to that an easygoing attitude that puts clients at ease on the way to a successful outcome.

“Helen could have written the book, ‘Customers For Life,’” Steve said.

With that endorsement, Helen looks forward to representing you in the sale of your Austin area home — weaving together knowledge and networks locally and across the country.

“It’s true that the real estate markets are all local, but it’s also true that they are interconnected across the country and internationally,” Helen said. “A big part of my value is combining my business experience in global corporate relocation activity with the knowledge of individual markets across the country. My 25-plus years in this business have translated into hundreds of connections and resources that will help you sell your home.”

"There are so many positive things that I can say about our experience of selling a home with Helen. Of course she was positive and professional throughout the process (which was daunting since we were moving across the country and had never sold a house) and she handled so many things that were above and beyond.... but the most important thing that she told us at the first appointment was "let me take care of selling the house....you take care of each other and your sweet family". That was life changing in a very stressful process. She took care of the house AND she took care of us. We highly recommend her."

-Carly N, Client

-Ann B, Client

"Helen is truly the BEST! From the very beginning, she guided us through every step of the process with care, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail. She went above and beyond to make sure our home was beautifully staged to attract buyers, and she took the time to explain each part of the process so we always felt informed and confident in our decisions. What really sets Helen apart is how much she genuinely cares. Her passion for her work and dedication to her clients is clear in everything she does. We will never be able to thank her enough for all she’s done for our family. Thank you, Helen! We are so grateful for you. "

-Megan C, Client

"When we decided to move across the country, quickly, during a pandemic, Helen said to me "I will make this easy for you", and she absolutely did. Within a week we were under contract on a house in our perfect neighborhood that we had only seen via FaceTime and photos. Helen then worked tirelessly through close - managing the inspection, repairs, and even some cosmetic upgrades work. We were able to focus solely on moving, eventually arriving to a beautiful home that was clean and move-in-ready. Thank you, Helen, for your compassionate guidance and tireless hustle, we are so grateful!!"

-Krista M, Client

"Simply the best! We cannot say enough about how well Helen cared for us during our new home purchase. We were so grateful to have her watching over every aspect of our search and purchase. She always looked out for our best interests as she showed us homes and toured new homes with us. She understood our needs in this season of life. We were so impressed with her professionalism and extensive knowledge of the area, which was new to us. She will be our go-to if we ever move again, which I hope is many years away! Thank you Helen! We appreciate you so much! Verified by RateMyAgent"

-Wendy R, Client

"Excellent. Helen is knowledgeable, caring, and matter of fact. We loved working with her. She has gone above and beyond what is required of a real estate agent to make buying a home less of a stress, to make us feel welcome as we moved across country, and to ensure that we got everything taken care of that we needed as we were buying from out of area. We'd give her 10 stars if it was an option."

-Jo S, Client

"Thank you for your compassion, guidance and skill! I am ever so grateful for your genuine kindness and what a relief it has been to have found YOU, Helen. Our family has been blessed to have worked with you on the sale of our parents home!"

"“Helen meets people at whatever their level of need is. She brings compassion to residential real estate. I got to experience that during the 20-plus years that we worked together at Coldwell Banker United, REALTORS. She’s so real. So kind. So remarkable.” Vanessa Bivens, Broker Associate, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerages, Colorado Springs, Colorado"

-Vanessa Bivens, Colleague

" Thank you, Helen! Can you believe it’s been over 2 years since I first contacted you about renting versus selling my house? You always gave me options based on my questions and needs, and never focused on just the sale or the profit. Even when I had to delay selling due to personal issues, you had such a caring response and even kept me up to date on my neighborhood and the market. I’m glad I took a leap of faith and put my trust in your advice throughout the selling process, from asking price to the final sale you cared more about doing the right thing, the ethical way, so much more than just making the sale. When I was ready to sell, during the summer in a market downturn, you were able to help me get an offer within days of the listing for the asking price. You were able to move mountains to make that happen just before the interest rates went up. In addition, you were able to ensure that we progressed at the right pace, texting me with updates and next steps. Thank you!"

-Tracey B, Client
