Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about luxury real estate in Austin.
I specialize in Austin's premier luxury neighborhoods including Westlake, Lake Travis, Barton Creek, Tarrytown, Rollingwood, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Downtown Austin, East Austin, and Lakeway. I also cover the broader Hill Country region.
The luxury market in Austin generally starts at $2M+ for Hill Country estates and waterfront properties. Urban penthouses and new construction vary by location and development. I work with clients across the luxury spectrum and can provide detailed market analysis for any price point.
Yes. Through deep relationships with Austin's top builders and a network developed over 15+ years, I regularly access off-market properties that never appear on MLS. This is one of the key advantages of working with me.
In addition to luxury home buying and selling, I offer real estate investment advisory, development consulting, and new construction guidance. My entrepreneurial background — having co-founded and scaled multiple businesses — brings a unique perspective to investment opportunities.
I begin with a private consultation to understand your goals, timeline, and preferences. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, I develop a tailored strategy. There's no obligation — the first conversation is about understanding what you're looking for and how I can help.
Several things: $500M+ in transactions across Texas and recognition as a Top 5 Producer and D Magazine Top 10 for 3+ consecutive years give me deep market expertise. My entrepreneurial background (co-founding Buda Juice, scaling Nekter Juice Bar franchises) means I approach real estate like a business owner, not just an agent. And my builder relationships unlock off-market inventory that most agents simply can't access.
Absolutely. Many of my clients are relocating to Austin from other cities. I provide comprehensive relocation support including neighborhood tours, school district information, lifestyle matching, and connections to local services to make the transition seamless.
Timelines vary by market conditions and property type. Luxury properties can take 30-90+ days to close after an offer is accepted. For selling, proper positioning and pricing strategy often result in faster outcomes. I'll provide realistic timelines based on your specific situation.
