What inspired you to get into real estate?
I have always absolutely loved home design and renovation. I felt so drawn to learn more about the process of building, taking a property down from the studs, the ins and outs of contracts, and more. Every day is different and there is always something new to learn.
What’s your favorite neighborhood to work in, and why?
I love the East side! Each neighborhood is so vibrant and filled with art, coffee shops galore, incredible dining, bookstores, and so much more. I have personally lived in Govalle and Cherrywood. The feeling in this area of town is something special.
What’s the best piece of advice you give to your clients?
What is your long term goal? Often real estate is a stepping stone process and we do not start out purchasing your dream home. Especially in a city like Austin with a higher entry price point. My absolute favorite thing about connecting with new clients is truly getting to know them, their wishes, and where they want to be. It isn’t about just this current transaction, but how I can assist them in building a portfolio in real estate for themselves for the foreseeable future.
What do you love about Austin?
Gosh that is tough! So many things! I love all of the trails, the delicious food, and the people. The city itself is gorgeous, it has been so much fun to watch our skyline grow to what it is today since when I first moved here seven years ago.
What’s the best piece of advice you give to your sellers?
To be realistic with current market conditions. It can be very hard when you have an emotional connection to a home to sometimes understand what the market will bare. It is always better to have honest conversations up front and set realistic expectations.
What’s the best piece of advice you give to your buyers?
To be open! I like to really explore different options with my buyers and walk through the purchasing process for re-sale, renovation, new construction, etc. So many times what a buyer “thinks” they want ends up being completely opposite from what they actually move forward purchasing once exploring market options.
What's your favorite thing about being a real estate agent?
The people and the relationships I get to build.
What do you think is the biggest mistake buyers/sellers make?
Rushing into something too quickly. I truly like to go through each step, what future re-sale looks like, etc with any client. I want it to be the right decision for them.
What sets you apart from other agents?
I have always had an overly empathetic heart. I put my clients above everything and offer top level concierge service. I constantly go above and beyond to problem solve and have my client be the winner at the end of the day.
What’s your go-to Austin restaurant or food truck?
Licha's
What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?
I am a pretty big nerd! I used to tutor organic chemistry for years. I can get lost in a book for hours.
If you could spend a day anywhere in Austin, where would it be?
Walking the trails with my dog Peaches.
What’s your favorite way to unwind after a busy day in real estate?
Going on a walk with my pups or reading a book.
Favorite: coffee shop
Flitch coffee in Govalle.
Favorite place to travel outside of Austin/a place you want to travel to?
I love to go back home where I am from Savannah, GA,
If you didn't live in Austin where would you want to live?
Hmm that is tough! Maybe somewhere on the beach.
