Not Just a Real Estate Agent — An Investor Who Gets It

In a sea of real estate agents, I bring so much more to the table: Real Estate is a vast subject… therefore allowing a professional to create, build, invest, and enjoy the properties they become involved in. Being a person who always believes “MORE IS MORE”, it didn’t take long for me to become my own investor in many properties.

Why My Investment Experience Matters to You

For Sellers

I approach your property with an investor's eye. I don't just see a house to list—I see untapped potential, strategic positioning opportunities, and exactly what today's buyers are willing to pay premium prices for. My renovation experience means I can suggest high-ROI improvements that will sell your property faster and for more money.
For Buyers

Whether you're looking for your forever home or your next investment, I analyze properties through both lenses. I can spot hidden issues that might affect resale value, identify renovation opportunities others miss, and calculate potential returns with real-world accuracy—because I've done it myself, multiple times.
For Investors

Skip the learning curve. My personal portfolio of successful projects means I understand cash flow calculations, renovation budgets, market trends, and rental potential from firsthand experience—not just theory. I'll help you avoid the costly mistakes I've already learned from and focus on properties with genuine upside potential.

Real Results, Real Projects

My approach isn't based on real estate seminars or trendy strategies—it's built on years of putting my own money on the line, managing actual renovations, and navigating market cycles as both an agent and investor. Here are just a few of my personal projects that showcase my hands-on experience.

New Construction & Design

8400 Big View (2005-2008) - Starting with a vacant lot (my buyer client decided not to buy), I purchased his contract for the lot on 8400 Big View Rd– a waterfront property on Lake Austin. I collaborated with renowned architects Doug Frey (who studied under the renowned Dick Clark) to design my first ground-up construction project. I served as both client and development manager, managing the entire process from concept to completion.

Total Transformations

504 Highlander ( 2005-2007) - I transformed this property into a stunning 1960s-70s Old Hollywood-inspired home through a complete gut renovation. The dramatic before-and-after demonstrates my vision for bringing new life to outdated properties. This particular project was one of my more challenging ones, starting with a burst pipe flooding the entire kitchen during construction. This forced me to pivot, as we mostly have to do in construction. Definitely a learning curve.

Problem-Solving Expertise

2604 Chalk Knoll Cv (2004-2006) - One of the first homes built in prestigious Barton Creek, this property required expert mold remediation. I managed the remediation process, completed cosmetic updates, and refreshed the exterior stucco to restore this property. This was one of the biggest profits as an investor I’ve made.

Land Development

1115 CR 414 (2019-2023) - Starting with a 20-acre lot, I refurbished a 3-par golf course, transformed a clay pit into a stock tank, and added a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with an expansive deck before selling the complete package off-market, closed for cash in two weeks.

Waterfront Investment

1702 Channel Road (2006- 2013) - I purchased this multigenerational property on Lake Austin—one of the last available lots with private dock rights on Lake Austin for $1.50mm in 2006. This renovation project was purchased halfway through the renovation. This strategic acquisition demonstrates my ability to identify truly rare opportunities in the market. This home's current value is $9.7mm

Buy-Hold-Rent Strategy

114 Cross Creek (1999-2009) - After purchasing this property from a client, I completed a strategic finish-out with targeted cosmetic updates, lived in it, then converted it to a profitable long-term rental.

Current Project

503 South Park (2024- Today) - My latest investment property is undergoing a light remodel with a pool addition for short-term rental potential. Follow along with this exciting project to see my investment approach in real time!
