My husband and I initially relocated to Austin, Texas for his mechanical engineering position at Boring Co. before he ended up joining a new startup called TerraFirma, just south of Austin in Buda, Texas. Relocating to a new city for a career change can feel daunting, but it is something we understand and can relate to. Now, between his career and mine, our closest friends are engineers, founders, and operators across Austin's engineering, software, and tech scene. When your recruiter says "you'll love it here," I'm the person who can actually show you why.
Real estate has been part of my life since before I had a license. As a second-generation Realtor, I grew up around this business, and I've since built on that foundation with hundreds of transactions and licenses in two states. I'm also an investor and landlord myself, working on expanding my own investment portfolio for the long term. I believe real estate is one of the most reliable, accessible ways to build and protect wealth. It's a way for individuals and families to gain equity, stability, and control over their financial future.
Austin is genuinely home for us now, not just a market I work in. You'll usually find us organizing game nights, swimming at Barton Springs, rock climbing at Mesa Rim, or hosting a slightly ambitious themed house party. If you want a Realtor who's living the true Austin lifestyle and understands the challenges of moving to a new city or state for work, let's connect!
A quick, private estimate, not a pre-approval, so you know roughly what to expect before you talk to a lender.
This tool provides a simplified, illustrative estimate for planning purposes only. It is not a loan pre-approval, quote, or offer of credit, and actual affordability depends on your full credit profile, debts, and a lender's underwriting. Connect with a licensed mortgage lender for exact numbers.
I've helped many new hires relocate quickly and smoothly to the Austin area, and I truly appreciate your referrals. Whether they're renting or buying, you can make sure every new hire lands with a trusted local resource from day one, set up for success in their new city.

"I had to plan a move to Austin in a very short notice, she was able to get tours for houses set up in less than a day. Touring and the whole lease process was extremely easy to deal with from all of her support and recommendations. She made this one of the easiest moves I've ever had to plan."
