Testimonials

  • "I really enjoyed and learned a lot during the looking and buying process. Dale has over 40 years of banking and real estate experience and he shared that experience and expertise from our first conversation, to our first offer, to the closing desk. If we ever get to the point that we want to buy another house, Dale Cook and Sage Texas Real Estate will be the only folks that handle that for us."

    Jimmy A.

  • "In addition to understanding the buyer's objectives, Dale was also one of the most thorough and professional individuals that we've ever worked with. His contract negotiation ability is phenomenal, and he does a great job getting the right deal for his client. Most importantly though Dale is a very respectful and decent human being who treats people the right way. We would highly recommend Dale to anyone seeking a property in the Texas Hill Country."

    Stuart G.

  • "Dale is very professional and a pleasure to work with. He takes all the time you need to answer any questions you may have. I found that Dale has a very refreshing and frank honesty in giving both the pros and the cons on a particular property. He has a deep knowledge of the market and has personally seen and assessed all of the current listings. He can recite accurate facts about a wide selection of properties from memory. I have known him for a short time, but I would trust him to be my business partner if we should wish to invest in a property together. I highly recommend Dale Cook as the Realtor to use for the Hill Country."

    Lisa R.

  • "We have moved across the country over the years buying and selling over 15 properties. Working with Dale Cook at Sage Texas Real Estate was a pleasure. He listened to your desired property features, quickly lined up appropriate showings and was a great consultant from our first contact through closing. I considered him a "partner" throughout the search and purchase process. Dale Cook is the best of the best. If we ever have the opportunity to enlist a broker for another real estate transaction, Dale will be my go-to guy."
