ABOUT REALTY AUSTIN
Whether you are considering making a move, researching employment opportunities, furthering your career in real estate, or just curious, we hope you will take a few minutes to get to know who we are, where we came from, what we stand for, and where we are going.
In 2004, we started building the foundation of Realty Austin as a husband-wife team of non-competing broker/owners. Jonathan’s background in technology, sales and marketing perfectly complemented Yvette's background in real estate and education. While we started as one of those ‘Internet’ brokerages, before long we started adopting the positive elements of more traditional business models. Now, we’ve evolved to become one of the most respected, innovative and progressive companies, uniquely suited for Austin’s high tech, homegrown culture. Our results speak for themselves. In 2012, we closed nearly $800M in sales and were ranked the 2nd highest producing real estate firm in Austin.*

AGENT TESTIMONIALS
You might be surprised to learn that we have assembled the most experienced and productive large team of agents in Austin. Our team consists of full-time, top-producing agents who we hand-selected for their real estate experience, market knowledge and career accomplishments. On average our agents have been in the business almost 10 years, and in 2012 they averaged over $6M in production. We are guided by the principle that our agents are our customers, and we never forget that without them, our company would not exist. As a result, our agents are so loyal that only one producer has left to join a competing firm in the past 5 years.
Don’t just take our word for it. Please read some amazing testimonials from our top agents, many of whom you may know.
Many of these agents made the move to Realty Austin because they realized a need to jump-start their business with new and progressive technology and marketing systems. We provide our agents with innovative tools and systems that help them stay in front of their clients in a consistent and professional manner. While other companies might point their agents toward a variety of vendors and tools, we proactively help our agents implement systems that literally take their business to the next level. Here are just a few of our recent success stories.
