AUSTIN It's The Life

Its Better Here


Christopher Cross wrote "Sailing" while sailing on Lake Travis. Jimmy Buffett admits to jotting down the words to "Margaritaville" just before flying out of Austin. This is one of those great places to live and work while still not far from a good time.
 You could do just about anything here except snow ski. Cost of living is reasonable, ok not cheap, but reasonable. Traffic is what it is. Nothing like Los Angeles or NYC, yet a challenge in the morning and afternoon drives. And yes, we are The Live Music Capital Of The World. The home of Austin City Limits and an endless list of music venues.  We are the story behind the music.
 What about hurricanes, tornadoes, hail and cats sleeping with dogs? As a broker who also has a degree in meteorology, I can tell you we get our share of thunderous hail storms which pour pea size to ping-pong ball size hail for a few minutes out of each summer or spring. Hurricanes turn into wonderful rain fields once they travel inland from the Gulf coast. Tornadoes do spin in mainly the open areas, those flat fields or sparcely populated areas mostly outside of the city limits and thankfully do not present as big a threat since we are not in "tornado alley." Don't know about the cats and dogs.
 We are a short drive, about 4 hours, to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, minutes from the coveted Hill Country and Lake Travis yet have our own funny (Keep Austin Weird) way of living and getting along.



The Austin Board of Realtors reports home values increase about 6% yearly. If you bought a home here 5 years ago and took care of it, it probably has increased in value close to 30% if ABOR is not indulging in puffery.

If you live here, buy a place of your own. If you don't you're missing out on a good investment. Where else can you get that kind of return on your invested dollar? Well? Where?

 We know this market and we know the area. If you are thinking of selling or buying a house in central Texas or know someone who does we would love to work with you.
