Q: What do you love most about being a real estate agent in Dripping Springs?

A: What I love most about being a realtor in Dripping Springs is the strong sense of community and the small-town feel. Even though it’s growing, Dripping Springs has managed to keep that welcoming, close-knit vibe where neighbors genuinely know and look out for each other. The friendliness of the people here makes it such a special place — it’s not uncommon to see folks gathering at local events, supporting small businesses, and coming together for school and community activities. It’s a place where people still wave to each other on the road and take the time to connect, which makes helping clients find a home here even more rewarding.

Q: What is your favorite part of being a real estate agent?

A: My favorite part of being a realtor is helping people find a place that truly feels like home. It’s so rewarding to guide clients through such an important milestone and see the excitement when they find the right fit. I also love building relationships with my clients and being part of their journey — whether it’s a first home, a forever home, or an investment. Plus, getting to explore beautiful properties and discover unique features of different homes is a fun bonus!

Q: What is your superpower (specialty) as an agent?

A: My superpower is my ability to build genuine rapport with my clients and become their trusted, lifelong "go-to" person for all things real estate. I take the time to really listen and understand what my clients need, which helps me guide them through the process with confidence and ease. Even after the deal is done, I stay connected — whether they need advice, a referral, or just someone to bounce ideas off of. Building those lasting relationships is what truly sets me apart.

Q: How does being part of Dripping Springs Elite benefit your clients?

A: The most valuable part of being part of Dripping Springs Elite Real Estate Professionals is the incredible sense of collaboration and support within the group. It’s a close-knit community of experienced agents who genuinely want to see each other succeed. We regularly share insights, market trends, and off-market opportunities, which gives my clients an advantage when buying or selling. Having that network of trusted professionals allows me to stay ahead of the market and provide my clients with the best possible service.

Q: When you aren’t closing deals and making your clients overjoyed, what do you like to do?

A: When I’m not selling homes, I love spending time with my family and visiting my parents' small ranch in Johnson City — it’s the perfect place to relax and recharge. I also enjoy spending time with my college-aged daughters, going shopping, spending time outdoors, and cheering on my youngest at lacrosse games. I’m also a big dog lover, so hanging out with my three pups, Stella, Louie, and Winnie, is always a highlight of my day!
