Q: What do you love most about being a real estate agent in Dripping Springs?
I love working in the Texas Hill Country! What I love most about being an agent in Dripping Springs is the lifestyle it offers my clients. Many of them are looking for more space, a breath of fresh air—literally! Here, they can enjoy larger lots, newer homes, and plenty of outdoor space for pools, entertaining, and soaking in the beauty of the Hill Country. It’s the perfect blend of peaceful living and convenient access to Austin.
Q: What is your favorite part of being a real estate agent?
My favorite part of being an agent is guiding my clients through their real estate journey and getting them to the closing table. A home sale or purchase comes with so many moving parts—some exciting, some stressful—but I love helping my clients navigate the process smoothly. It’s not always a straight road, but in the end, seeing their joy and celebrating a successful transaction makes it all worth it!
Q: What is your superpower (specialty) as an agent?
I think my superpower is keeping my clients calm. Real estate can be an emotional rollercoaster, but I always remind myself—and my clients—"your stress level is only as high as your agent’s."
I stay calm, focused, and solutions-oriented, ensuring that no matter what challenges arise, we keep moving forward. My goal is to take the weight off my clients’ shoulders so they can enjoy the experience, rather than stress over it.
Q: If you could describe your ideal day, what would it look like?
My ideal day is waking up at our beach home with my family, enjoying the salty air, and sipping coffee while watching the sunrise. We love escaping to the Texas coast to recharge, unwind, and enjoy the water. Of course, in classic real estate fashion, the last two times I visited, I got an offer notification just as I settled in—it never fails! But that’s part of the excitement of this business.
Q: What is the value of being part of Dripping Springs Elite, and how does it benefit your clients?
The biggest value of being part of Dripping Springs Elite is collaboration. We are a network of top-tier real estate professionals who work together, share insights, and support one another’s listings. Having access to upcoming listings, market trends, and exclusive properties before they hit the market is a huge advantage for my buyers. And for sellers, it means their home gets exposure to a powerful network of agents who are truly invested in their success.
Q: When you aren’t closing deals and making your clients overjoyed, what do you like to do?
When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me at the beach with my family, enjoying some much-needed relaxation. It’s our little slice of paradise where we can slow down and just be together. Beyond that, I love spending time with friends, exploring the great outdoors, and staying active. But no matter where I am, I always have my phone close by—because real estate never really stops!
