I moved to Austin from Los Angeles in 1994 after loosing my home in the Northridge Earthquake. I would drive from my parent's home in San Antonio every day (with my baby) to scout out Austin while my husband literally sifted through the rubble of what was our home in Sherman Oaks. The reasons we selected Austin to relocate to, are most of the same reasons that bring others here. Doing this by myself every day is what planted the "Realtor Seed"...there HAS to be a better, more enjoyable way to do this.
Before I obtained my Real Estate License in 2007, I performed locally at Esther's Follies (for years..even had my own show next door at the Velveeta Room) as well as many productions at Zach Scott Theater.
Being a character actress makes me a pretty quick study of my clients & enables me to understand them at a higher level in a faster amount of time.I enjoy helping folks relocate and love to give people the "Meta Tour" of Austin..which usually ends up with Margaritas at Guerros on South Congress. Relocating anywhere can be very stressful..no reason to not make it a touch more colorful and fun.
