2900 N. Quinlan Park Road, Suite 220 Austin, TX 78732 (512) 610-5000
I was born and raised in Arkansas where I spent my first 25 years before work opportunities took me outside of the state. I have lived and worked in various cities throughout Texas and California and have loved them all, but I am thrilled that Austin is now where I get to call home. I am a resident of Steiner Ranch and thoroughly enjoy being a part of this great community as well as the greater Austin area and all of those that live here!
I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences with a BS and AS in Respiratory Therapy. I am a registered Respiratory Therapist, but no longer practice. In my previous life, I worked 10 years as a Transport Therapist for Arkansas Children’s Hospital on Angel Flight and Las Palmas Medical Center as transport coordinator for neonatal, pediatric, and ECMO patients.
Before becoming a REALTOR, I helped with the interior design of two custom homes and was an assistant contractor for Waterstone Homes. For the past 17 years I have bought and sold homes both in Texas and California. I am actively involved in Young Men’s Service League, PTA, Vandegrift Basketball Booster Club and Austin Christian Fellowship.
Real estate is my passion, but it also allows my husband and I to donate to various charities in the Austin area. To date, I'm proud to say that we have been able to donate over $200,000 to local and world charities from my real estate transactions. I am well versed in buying and selling in most areas of Austin, but specialize in the River North area. Steiner Ranch, River Place, Four Points, Westlake, Balconies, Bee Caves, and Lakeway are a few of the areas I most work with my clients. I am extremely knowledgeable in areas that feed into Vandegrift High School. If you're looking for a knowledgeable Realtor®, look no further. I'd love to help you with your buying and selling needs!
Designations: ABR, CLHMS, e-Pro, Million Dollar Guild, CRS

Rhonda was so helpful in our home buying process. We were only able to visit the Austin area a couple days to look at houses. Rhonda drove us all over several areas of town to look at multiple homes over two days. She then was quickly able to gather the necessary information for us to put an offer in before leaving town. While trying to close long distance, Rhonda was able to be our go to person in town to help with the necessary leg work to close on our beautiful home. We would absolutely work with her again!

Rhonda went above and beyond with the sale of our home! We went back and forth for years on whether to list the house and not once did she seem to mind the numerous trips and phone conversations! She knows the market and is always up to date. If you are looking for someone who has your back, Rhonda is the one!

It was fantastic to work with Rhonda to sell our house. She outlined clear expectations during our first meeting and continued to communicate very actively throughout the process. Both my husband and I were impressed with how smoothly everything went. Rhonda knows the Steiner Ranch market really well. We would definitely recommend Rhonda to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in Austin.

Rhonda has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the Austin real estate market. If navigating the current explosive market with someone in possession of all the tools, contacts and dedication to insure a smooth path to closing, then Rhonda is your go-to!Since we’ve been out of Austin for the last 6 months while our house was on the market, Rhonda handled every single thing that came up during this period. She even supervised installation of a new under counter ice machine, major air conditioner repairs, clean-up after the mega ice storm and a myriad of other obstacles that popped up during the sale. Saying she ‘went above and beyond’ doesn’t even come close to the extremes she went to to get our house sold! Aside from being a genuine and caring person, Rhonda is the premier real estate broker in the entire Austin market. We feel blessed and privileged to know her as a true friend and as our realtor!

The absolute best! Wish I could give 100 stars. Rhonda is a consummate professional. My wife and I were first time home buyers and had significant distress about moving to Austin but Rhonda guided us through the entire process. She has an exceptional skill of giving realistic expectations while keeping our spirits and hope alive. She was a rock and through her actions we felt a sense of security that everything would work out. I thank Rhonda for making the experience as stress free as possible. She always advocated for us and acted in our best interest at all times. She went way way way above the standard. Her years of expertise is apparent when working with her. I will only use Rhonda from here on out and always recommend her services to anyone moving to Austin!

Rhonda was a dream to work with during our first-time, whirlwind, out-of-state home buying process! We were recommended to her by a family friend and knew from the first time we met her on a video call that she was an excellent realtor and a great fit for us. Rhonda spent nearly an hour on an intro call with us getting to know our needs, wants, and desired location and she helped us narrow down our search with some key recommendations we hadn't considered. Rhonda's expertise and experience lent itself to a very efficient offer and escrow process once we found "the one." She is detail-oriented, thoughtful, communicative, goes above and beyond, and knows the market, which eased our first-time buyer worries and got us into the home of our dreams (on the first offer)! We highly recommend Rhonda to anyone looking in the Austin area.

We are convinced that choosing Rhonda Durrill as our realtor was THE MOST IMPORTANT part of the process of selling our home! From our first meeting with Rhonda until our time with her at the closing table, she was giving us excellent advice, keeping us encouraged, attending to all the details as our realtor, and was always pushing the process along for our best interests.
We appreciated her comprehensive knowledge of the marketplace and her constant communication with us that kept us well-informed.
Once we received a contract on our home, Rhonda was able to help bring all the details and communication between us and the buyers together thru an AMAZING nine days to the final closing!!
Call Rhonda Durrill if you're looking to sell your home. You will look back on it as a GREAT DECISION--just as we do!!

We recently worked with Rhonda on the purchase of our first home and we cannot recommend her highly enough! She is excellent! Being first time buyers and new to the Austin area, we really needed someone knowledgeable and capable to walk us through the whole process. Rhonda was so dedicated and went above and beyond to make the whole process seamless. We feel so lucky to have found her as our realtor!
Her knowledge and expertise of the current market is exceptional and made all the difference in finding our perfect home in what is currently a very competitive market.
She is always ten steps ahead, and was able to pre-empt any potential hurdles or problems to make sure our Escrow Process went as smoothly and stress free as possible. Being almost 9 months pregnant at closing, this was greatly appreciated!

Hands down, Rhonda is your absolute best choice for a realtor in the Austin market. Rhonda has served as our realtor for several transactions, in strong markets and weak markets, and she serves in-town transactions and out-of-state moves with equal excellence. Rhonda scores the highest marks on all of the dimensions that matter as a realtor: knowledge of the market, insight into trends at a neighborhood level, guidance and direction on pricing and contract negotiations, flexibility in strategies, knowledge of key watch-outs and red flags, and ease to work with (ultra attentive, responsive, prompt, professional, and pleasant). With Rhonda, we have always walked away maximizing profit when selling, and minimizing cost when buying. She knows the strategies to use to make the best transactions, and can adapt quickly as conditions dictate. There may be other effective realtor alternatives, but none can beat Rhonda on all of the dimensions shared above. Make Rhonda your real estate professional - you will be glad you did.

When you are selling your home, smart pricing is paramount – can't be too low or too high.
Rhonda's methodical approach to pricing was based on data, analytics and deep market knowledge that sees beyond the face value of what is on paper. She considers every facet – both good and bad – of your home. However, Rhonda's greatest strength is her tactful candor. She is a consummate professional, and she will tell you want you need to hear, not necessarily what you wish to hear. Therefore, as a seller, you go into the process fully informed and can base your decisions on reality, not wishful thinking. She is one of the best agents we've ever used. Exceptional.

Rhonda was an absolute pleasure to work with!
We bought a house in Austin, TX while living in Los Angeles and handled the entire transaction over emails and phone calls until we arrived in Austin. Rhonda was very professional, knowledgeable and timely regarding the entire transaction. I would recommend Rhonda to anyone looking for a professional friendly realtor!!! I even referred her to my parents who are purchasing a home in Austin as well!

Rhonda was an excellent agent for the sale of our home.
She is very detailed oriented and knows what needs to be done to sell your home. She handles all the little things and the big things very professionally. Rhonda always returned our calls, text messages and e-mails very promptly, even if they were not that important. She helps things run smoothly, even if there are major bumps in the road. Her negotiation skills are truly excellent! We had two offers on the same day, and Rhonda got what we wanted in the negotiation for the right contract. We also enjoyed Rhonda's great sense of humor and keeping things light in the moments of stress! We highly recommend Rhonda as a realtor, she is very personable and knows her stuff!

Rhonda helped us purchase our first home, and she is very knowledgeable about every detail of the process.
She is highly professional and responsive to all communications. For first-time buyers, she was incredible at explaining every step and making sure everything was taken care of behind the scenes. She gives honest opinions about homes and points out anything that might come up on inspections that she sees on tours. She looked out for our specific home interests and sent us prospects frequently via email. She treated us like family, and I trust her judgement and professional abilities. We could not have asked for a better experience, definitely recommend her to any home buyers!

Without any reservations, my husband and I highly recommend Rhonda Durrill!
While everyone selling a home has their own set of challenges, our situation was especially difficult in that we were selling a home from another state – 1200 miles away! Rhonda made the entire process seamless! No matter what we needed or requested, she was there for us. She was accessible, proactive and professional. From our first conversation with her to our closing, she managed the entire process expertly and far exceeded our expectations! With complete confidence, we would hire her again as well as recommend her to anyone buying or selling a house!

Having Rhonda as your realtor is hard to beat!
She outgoing, friendly, personal and you always feel you are the most important person. She knows her stuff and is always on top of things, making sure there are no surprises. She gave us great advice on how to make our home more attractive to the market; what to update, what to replace and what to leave alone. She has a repertoire of great handymen, painters etc. who all worked out great. She drove staging the house and it turned out great. She went way beyond what we have ever seen from any realtor. Rhonda is a true “Steiner Ranch Specialist”: she sure knows what sells in Steiner Ranch - better trust her. We sold our house within 2 weeks. We can only recommend Rhonda to anyone who wants to buy or sell a house in this area.

Rhonda's experience, negotiation skills and overall support were key events that enabled the sale of our home.
The transaction was made more challenging as we relocated from Austin, Texas to the UK and Rhonda managed the whole process in our absence. She went way above and beyond what you would expect from a typical realtor and I hope that as a result of our business relationship my wife and I have established a long lasting friendship. I would strongly recommend Rhonda if anyone is seeking a proactive and responsive realtor.

After 8 moves, we are pretty picky about selecting the right real estate agent to represent our home.
Hands down, Rhonda Durrill is the absolute best. Her pragmatic, deeply experienced, personalized approach is killer. She knows the market and is shrewd in determining the sweet spot price to ensure you are well positioned on the Austin market. She has top notch marketing and communicates often, with clarity and in a straightforward, no nonsense manner. I wouldn't choose anyone else to sell my house. If she is helping you find a home, she applies those same skills, and also brings an incredible, bada$$ery display of negotiation. She is wicked smart, funny and responsive. She understands the emotion behind your hunt for the right home, yet she uses her well-honed business instincts to help you make clear, appropriate and well-informed decisions. Finally, and importantly to us, she conducts business with deep integrity and professionalism. She is, hands down, the right choic

We LOVE Rhonda Durrill!
! We just bought a home in Austin, Texas and Rhonda was a complete pleasure to work with. We cannot say enough about her level of commitment, service, professionalism, knowledge and advocacy. From our first conversation, we felt understood and supported. She worked through all of the unexpected challenges of our deal with patience, creativity and persistence until a solution was achieved. Rhonda went above and beyond to help us get the best house for us. We heavily relied upon her as my husband and I were only able to visit Austin once during the whole house-hunting period/transaction. We trust her completely and highly recommend her without any reservations!!

When our family relocated to Austin, we were referred to Rhonda by a mutual friend.
I'm so grateful our friend recommended her because she exceeded all of our expectations. Rhonda is willing to help in any way, always on top of paperwork, punctual, and very knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to help us find the home of our dreams. 4 years later, we have come full circle. We called on the person who made our home buying experience so enjoyable to sell our beautiful home so that we could relocate once again. Rhonda was prepared the day she visited with comps, recommendations, a videographer/photographer scheduled, and we were listed within a week. Even better, she sold our home in just over 30 days!!! You won't find anyone better than Rhonda...look no further!

Rhonda Durrill is amazing! There is so much ridiculousness that happens when buying a house or land. When you think there is no way, she can make it happen. Rhonda knows all the ins and outs of how to get through it all. They're plenty of realtors out there to choose from. I would suggest using one that has been in the game for a while and knows what needs to be done. It's your money... choose wisely.

Moving from out of state, we were looking for an agent that could truly help us find a new home and not just purchase a house. We needed an expertly knowledgeable and highly reliable partner that could guide us through this transition remotely as well as lead us in navigating the incredibly difficult Austin real estate market of 2021. And we absolutely struck gold in finding Rhonda! She gets into your head and understands what you're looking for, she knows about sales before they come out, she knows how to negotiate, she knows every step of the way then on how to close the deal! The amount of care and thought put into everything she did for us - it always felt like we were her only clients and always her number one priority! She takes care of your things as if they were her own. Truly can't say enough great things. She doesn't take every single client, if you can get her - don't think twice!

We recently worked with Rhonda to sell our Steiner Ranch home. We have lived in the Steiner Ranch community for over 15 years and have many great friendships and relationships with some well-accomplished realtors, but since meeting Rhonda over 10 years ago, we immediately knew she was going to be the one we used if we ever sold. She was candid, providing honest feedback on preparing our home for sale and staging for showings, and the photographer she chose was amazing. We had over 25 showings in the first 3 days on the market and 3 offers, with two of the offers at or above our listing price. We went under contract 4 days after listing with an offer 12.5% above our asking price and closed a few weeks later without a single disruption in the process. Rhonda is simply amazing and the best at what she does. If you want a realtor willing to go the extra mile and shoot you straight throughout every step in the process, then look no further than Rhonda Durrill of Avalar Real Estate. As we move forward to purchase land and build a new home, we will partner with her every step of the way. -Jeffrey and Michelle Jones
