Agent License ID: 800232My goal is data-driven clarity for life's transitions to help you make wise moves.
As someone who values straight talk, I help clients make data-driven real estate decisions. As a native Texan with 20+ years in project management, I guide buyers, sellers, downsizers, and relocating clients across the north Austin corridor with clear strategy and detailed market analysis. I’m an advisor first, so you get information, not fluff.
Drawing from personal experience as an executor, I specialize in probate as a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist. Clients appreciate my free Probate Tracker to stay on track and frame attorney conversations.
For sellers, I help evaluate whether to list the home on the market, sell as-is, convert it to an income-producing asset, or keep it.
I support clients with:
• Probate REALTOR® guidance for families and executors selling inherited property.
• Relocation to and Buying services for Austin homes, buying Cedar Park homes, buying Georgetown homes, buying Hutto homes, buying Leander homes, buying Pflugerville homes, and buying Round Rock homes.
• New construction buyer's representation to find and negotiate the best incentives.
• Selling Austin homes, selling Cedar Park homes, selling Georgetown homes, selling Hutto homes, selling Leander homes, selling Pflugerville homes, and selling Round Rock homes.
• Pet resources and pet-friendly home features to match your fur baby's needs.
• Sharing local events and hidden gems around the Austin area so you experience the community like a local.

*Austin just crossed the 1 million mark in city population.*
That is the headline. The bigger Texas story is the metro picture.
Latest U.S. Census estimates show:
Dallas-Fort Worth Metro: 8,477,157
Houston: 7,904,627
San Antonio: 2,813,140
Austin-Round Rock Metro: 2,620,945
Texas growth is still very real, but it is playing out region by region and suburb by suburb. Not every pocket is moving the same. Not every price point is behaving the same. And not every buyer or seller should be making decisions based on a broad headline alone.
The main takeaway is this: population growth supports long-term housing demand, infrastructure pressure, and continued competition in the most desirable corridors. Real estate is still hyper-local.
If you want the signal instead of the noise, I can help you break down what this means for Austin-area pricing, days on market, and where opportunity is actually showing up right now.
Some people like the hustle and bustle Austin things to do. Some people like quiet open space away from the city. Which do you prefer?
I can show the two sides of the same coin. Call or text 512-886-7111.

April 2026 Austin Suburb Market Update - Single Family Homes
• Cedar Park remains the tightest market of the five, with limited inventory and strong pricing. Buyers have very few options under $300k, which keeps pressure on well-priced homes.
• Georgetown offers the most selection by far. It’s a more balanced market, but the higher inventory and longer marketing times suggest buyers have room to compare options and negotiate.
• Leander is also sitting in balanced territory, with solid activity but a noticeably longer time on market. Sellers still have opportunities, but presentation and pricing matter more than they did in a faster-moving market.
• Pflugerville stands out as the most affordable of these five cities by median sold price. It still shows healthy movement, but with over four months of inventory, buyers have more breathing room than in the tighter seller markets.
• Round Rock continues to outperform many surrounding areas with stronger demand and under three months of inventory. It feels more competitive than the balanced markets nearby, especially for homes that are updated and priced correctly.
DM me CMA to 512-886-7111 if you're curious about your home and neighborhood.
