No other profession combines the skills and knowledge necessary to be an effective agent. You need to know your city and what is happening at planning and zoning. You need to know the nuances of a neighborhood- the parks, the schools and the shopping areas; you need to know housing construction and architectural styles; you need to know pricing and trends in the financial markets. Most importantly, you have to respect and like guiding people in a way that appropriate lifestyle choices are made. This is what I do and this what I love to do.

When Matt was two years old, he lived in a house that had the entire back chopped off in the midst of a major remodel. Instead of crying in his cheerios about the copious amounts of dust and strange people coming in and out of his home, he grabbed a plastic hammer and went to work. Needless to say, his life has pretty much been about real estate since then!

Riley Gray was born somewhere in Texas and has been a native ever since. Known to her inner circle as “whoopy doopy” she enjoys very short walks and very large dinners. Not much else is known, as every time you try to ask her a question she just cocks her head and sits as if she was expecting a treat. When she is not taking a nap, she will log on and tell us about some doggy friendly spots and events around Austin.

Having lived in 5 different cities in 4 states and gone to 7 schools before going off to college and several times since then as we raised our own family; I am very aware of the opportunities and challenges that moving can bring. Combining my real estate knowledge and my unique perspective allows me to understand what both buyers and sellers are going through so that we can find creative solutions that result in satisfied clients.
