Since 2006, native Texan and in-demand real estate professional Bob Hachtel has matched buyers with dream properties and sellers with dream outcomes in and around Austin. He has facilitated over $100 million in transaction volume throughout his career, and he played a prominent role in overseeing a $33 million team transaction volume in 2021. Bob has accumulated numerous top-producer accolades and ranked in several best-of lists compiled by RealTrends and Austin Business Journal. With a Bachelor of Business Administration in finance and a previous career as a mortgage loan officer, Bob offers his clients a unique insight into mortgages and investments. He is known for giving helpful advice, being supportive and welcoming, and being willing to drop everything to solve any issues a client may be experiencing. Bob and his wife Michaela, who is also his real estate partner, provide their clients with a highly effective two-heads-are-better-than-one approach. While their extensive knowledge of real estate and local markets may seem serious, they both keep their approach friendly, warm, and personal -- never afraid to add a dash of fun to any situation. Bob's background in finance and sales makes him an expert in negotiation tactics and fine-tuning contracts, both of which are tremendous assets to his clients. While Bob loves all things real estate, he gets the most satisfaction from matching buyers with their dream homes and assisting his sellers using the latest effective marketing tactics. When he's not closing deals, Bob can often be found sniffing out new local restaurants and spending time with Michaela and their two kids. He's also quite the musician, so be sure to ask him about his favorite Austin acts or catch him taking it back to '80s rock with his garage band. Additionally, he supports Foundation Communities, Habitat for Humanity, and Texas food banks.

I been a part of my fair share of real estate dealings both professionally and personally. I will only work with Record Realty because of Bob & Michaela. From different neighborhoods to different markets They have always gotten things purchased and sold either meeting the expectations or exceeding them. Their expertise and advise are invaluable to me and my partners. If you want to buy a home or sell a home. My recommendation is hire them.

First time home buyer here. I worked with Bob for 4 years and had plenty of "no's" before we got our first home. Even Bob told me when it wasn't a good idea to buy on multiple homes -- that's all the confidence you should need. Never once did I ever feel like he or record realty was just trying to get me to buy to move on with the sale. Can't recommend him or his team enough. Beyond patient, beyond trustworthy, and beyond awesome to work with. They're willing to put in the time and work and act as a consultant, not just an Agent. Bob is now a good friend and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Michaela and Bob were amazing! In this crazy market fluctuation, their years of experience, strategy and unbelievable organization helped us sell in a market where there are dozens of other options on our street and in our neighborhood. Can't state enough how much they took the burden of this process off our plate and got us to the finish line. True professionals, great experience and got us to a sale in a very tough market.

I recommend Bob and Michaela very highly. I have been a realtor and been around realtors for decades but did not fully appreciate the value of a realtor until seeing Bob in action. Bob excelled at the most important skills that a real estate professional has: good communication, deep knowledge, and an ability to provide perspective. In an era and industry of automation he exemplifies the value of human experience and interaction.

My wife and I had a great experience with Bob Hachtel and Record Realty! Bob helped us buy our first house in Austin a few years ago and we had no doubt he was the right realtor to help us buy our second house when the time came earlier this year. Expert advice, always prompt responses, and loads of experience in the Austin market. Would highly recommend!
