Kent is a great guy and we’re glad to have him as a neighbor here in Big Sky Ranch! He’s personable, easy to talk to, and it’s always nice meeting people who are so involved in our local community. With my family and I moving to Dripping Springs, everything is still pretty new to us, so it’s been nice having someone who is familiar with the town and surrounding areas and can offer that local insight. Kent brings that hometown connection that’s always appreciated, especially when settling into a new place. It’s great having good people like him in our community. If you’re looking for a realtor who knows Dripping Springs and the surrounding Hill Country, Kent is definitely worth connecting with for your real estate needs!

I'm really not sure where to start about Kent.
There are so many realtors out there, it can be overwhelming to choose who to work with. I'm also sure a lot of them are great. But I will tell you that working with Kent is probably the best decision you'll make when looking to buy or sell in the Dripping Springs Area.
Kent is one of those folks that you may connect with for a business purpose, but after meeting him you'll feel like you want to be his friend. He is curious, he listens, he asks great questions, and most importantly he cares. Kent genuinely feels it's his purpose to help others through this process to do what's best for their family, whether it's buying the perfect home or selling to find the right one. When I met Kent I knew I could trust him with those important decisions.
He's friendly and approachable, and has a calm gentle way of communicating. For a lot of us, the home-buying process is incredibly complicated and confusing, but not for one second does Kent make you feel like you're inconveniencing him with questions or concerns.
Above all that, he's incredibly knowledgeable about and tuned in to the Dripping Springs community. He frequently posts about Dripping Springs news, store openings, and suggestions for how to make the most of every season and every occasion. He also knows how to tell the hard truths if he doesn't think something is in your best interest.
I highly recommend reaching out to him if you're entering the buying/selling process.

He communicated clearly, handled every detail with professionalism, and made the transaction smooth and collaborative from start to finish. As a fellow REALTOR, I truly appreciate working with an agent who is knowledgeable, respectful, and committed to a positive experience for everyone involved.
I would absolutely recommend Kent to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional real estate agent!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Kent Broom and Cody George of Magnolia Reality in Dripping Springs!
They did and amazing job selling my house quickly and made the entire process so much easier than I expected. They were incredibly attentive to the details, communicated well, and always made sure things were taken care of.
What I appreciated most was how helpful they were after I had already moved out of state. Knowing I could trust Kent and Cody to handle things locally and keep everything moving forward gave me tremendous peace of mind. They went above and beyond to make sure the sale stayed on track and ultimately got the job done quickly and professionally.
I highly recommend Kent and Cody to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Dripping Springs area!

We were referred to Kent by someone we trust, and we’re so glad we followed that advice. He’s professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in finding us the right home — not just closing a deal. He made a stressful process feel manageable. If you’re looking for a realtor who treats you like a person, not a transaction, Kent is the one!

“We can’t say enough good things about Kent Broom. He’s down to earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely one of the most knowledgeable realtors we’ve met — especially when it comes to Dripping Springs and the surrounding area. You can tell he’s a strong family man, and it shows in how he treats his clients.
The moment that mattered most: we were ready to put money on a house and neighborhood that would’ve been a serious mistake. Kent stopped us cold. He said, take a knee — sleep on it, there’s always tomorrow. We did. That pause is the only reason we found our home in Headwaters, and I attribute that entirely to him. I was on a mission to just move forward, and he was the one who made us slow down.
He’s professional, kind, a hard worker who shows up, thoughtful, and a man of his word — he does exactly what he says he’ll do. Communication was outstanding the whole way; he stayed engaged and kept checking in. If you’re looking for a realtor in Dripping Springs, hire Kent Broom with Magnolia Realty. We highly recommend him.”

We had a great experience working with Kent. He was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely familiar with the area. He quickly understood what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect home much faster than we expected.
He made the entire rental process straightforward and stress-free, was always responsive, and made sure we understood everything along the way. It was clear that he genuinely cared about finding the right place for us rather than just getting the process done.
We really appreciated how easy he made everything and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional realtor in the area. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again!
