AUSTIN, TX. – With New Year’s Eve, just days away many people spend this time of year making New Year’s Resolutions and if you’re a going to be a home buyer in 2017 one of your New Year’s Resolutions should be to buy a home early in 2017 for these reasons.

Where is your favorite Austin restaurant? What do you order?

My favorite place to eat in Austin is called Lucky Robot.  My "go to" sushi is Salmon Sashimi but Chef Jay is amazing and will make me something on the fly because I go there so often!  

What is your Real Estate Niche?

What is a trait/tool you posses that you didn't know you would use in Real Estate?

I was a nurse for a very long time. People said it was a natural fit for Austin Texas Real Estate. I was not convinced. Turns out, yes. That is true. The role of an advocate, and fiduciary is almost the exact same.  The need to educate, and assess peoples needs based on what they tell you, but also what they don't say. The ability to use all the data to make a judgement in split seconds. All of those (in my mind) uniquely nursing skills have been surprisingly used daily in Real Estate.

So you’re planning on moving out of your Austin Texas Home before you sell it, and although moving out of a home before you sell it may have been something that worked for you in the past the reality is that you should always leave some furniture in your home, or at the very least stage your home with rented furniture, because empty Austin Texas homes don’t sell easily.
