As a member of Compass RE Texas and the Birdwell Residential Land & Ranch Team, I’m proud to serve clients across the Texas Hill Country. Led by Elite 25 member Jana Birdwell, our team is known for delivering outstanding results, sophisticated marketing, and deep expertise in luxury homes and ranch properties throughout Central Texas.

My journey to real estate—and to the Hill Country—came through a purposeful life transition. After many years in the Lake Travis area, my husband and I chose to relocate to Willow City, Texas, seeking a quieter and more intentional way of living. Willow City is a place people choose deliberately. Its wide open skies, native landscapes, and peaceful surroundings create a lifestyle that values space, privacy, and connection to the land. Here, luxury is not about excess—it’s about freedom, views, and the calm that comes from living close to nature.

My personal experience also shapes how I serve my clients. I have completed six custom home builds and purchased eight homes myself, which has given me firsthand knowledge of construction, land evaluation, design choices, negotiations, and the emotional significance behind every real estate decision. Whether someone is buying acreage, building a custom home, selling a family property, purchasing a first home, or expanding an investment portfolio, I understand the importance of each step.

Today, I represent buyers and sellers throughout Austin and the surrounding Hill Country, including Westlake, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Spicewood, Johnson City, the Highland Lakes region, and areas near Fredericksburg. My clients range from first-time buyers to luxury homeowners, ranch purchasers, and experienced investors. Every property and every client requires a tailored approach. Buying land involves careful research and local knowledge, while selling it requires thoughtful positioning, strong marketing, and access to qualified buyers who recognize its value.

With the support and reach of Compass and the expertise of the Birdwell Residential and Ranch Team, my clients receive professional guidance, strategic insight, and dedicated representation from beginning to end.

Often, the most rewarding chapters begin just beyond hesitation. If you’re considering a move in the Texas Hill Country—whether it’s a luxury home, working ranch, investment property, or your very first home—I would be honored to help you take the next step.
