Realtor®, Compass Real Estate

For Crystal Robaina, real estate is about helping people create stability, build wealth, and find a place to call home. Since 2020, she has been guiding buyers, sellers, and investors through Austin’s dynamic market, always putting their goals first. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, relocating, or searching for off-market opportunities, Crystal takes a hands-on, strategic approach to make the process feel effortless.

Crystal specializes in Austin’s highly sought-after neighborhoods south of the river, including Westlake, Driftwood, Dripping Springs, South Austin, and East Austin. With deep market knowledge and strong connections in these communities, she helps buyers find the perfect home while ensuring sellers get the best possible value for their properties.

A key factor in Crystal’s success lies in her ability to build genuine relationships and maintain a strong network. She understands that people want to work with someone they know, like, and trust, and she takes that to heart in every interaction. Her reputation for integrity and connection has allowed her to bring numerous buyers and sellers together—especially in competitive markets or when inventory is scarce. By staying engaged with other top agents and continuously expanding her network, she often finds off-market opportunities and matches clients with homes before they even hit the MLS.

Having relocated from Los Angeles to Austin herself, Crystal understands the unknowns that come with moving to Texas—everything from navigating different neighborhoods to adjusting to a new lifestyle. That’s why she takes an educational approach, serving as a first-hand expert in the challenges and solutions that come with such a big move. She helps her clients make informed decisions with confidence, ensuring a smooth transition and a seamless home-buying experience.

As a member of NAHREP (National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals), Crystal is dedicated to empowering Hispanic and Latino homebuyers and sellers by bridging the gap in homeownership opportunities. She is also part of Top Agent Network – Austin, an exclusive group of the top-performing agents in the city, giving her access to off-market and pre-market listings before they hit the broader market. Additionally, her membership in the Austin Luxury Network allows her to stay ahead of trends in the high-end real estate sector, providing her clients with exclusive opportunities in the luxury home market.

Beyond real estate, Crystal is passionate about financial literacy and believes that understanding money and wealth-building should start early. She dreams of launching Mama’s House, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching financial literacy to children in public schools, helping them build a foundation for future success.

At her core, Crystal values relationships over transactions. She approaches her work with honesty, patience, and a true desire to help others succeed. As a bilingual agent fluent in English and Spanish, she’s able to connect with and serve a diverse range of clients, ensuring everyone feels heard and empowered in their real estate journey.

When she’s not working with clients, you’ll find Crystal enjoying the best of Dripping Springs with her husband, their son, and their two huskies. She loves exploring all the local eats, staying active with weight training hot yoga, and unwinding with family movie nights.
