Q: How did you get started in real estate in Austin?
A: A career in real estate was undoubtedly my birthright. I am a Native Austinite and third-generation Austin Realtor.

A: Primarily I focus on properties in the Eanes ISD. I graduated from Westlake High School as did my daughter & her grandmother & great grandmother also went to Eanes. The first home I ever bought was in Westlake Hills when I was 25 years old. I also specialize specifically in the Lakehills area, Bee Caves, Dripping Springs & Lakeway.
