Starting in 1990, as an investor, I bought several properties, fixed, and rented each one. Each 'deal' was a lot of hard work and a ton of fun. I was fortunate to be surrounded by family, friends, and trustworthy business people who guided and taught me along the way. As a result, I have formed a network of professionals, on whom we can all trust....from lenders, inspectors and appraisers, to title companies and a slew of home related vendors. Real estate is not new to me. Whether you want to buy, sell, or lease, providing relevant market information and price comparisons, and contract assistance, opinions and advice are my strong suites. I also work well in the background to prevent ALL snags possible. Perhaps equally importantly to you, I'll insure clear up-to-date communications with you throughout the process. I want to help make your next transaction smooth and memorable, because, this is all about you and what you want, your dream. Side note: I have 3 miniature daschunds that are a constant source of laughter for me. Have you ever been to the weener dog races held the last weekend of April each year in Buda? You should, it´s an absolute riot!!!

Dorothy Trainer - REALTOR® GRI

I am a native Texan and have lived in Austin for over 23 years. As a long-time resident, I know Austin well. From our bustling downtown to the gateway to the Hill Country and beyond, I have the neighborhood knowledge and experience to help my clients find their perfect match. Being responsive, honest and resilient are the center of the high level, white glove service I provide. By knowing the market, being an expert negotiator, and, most importantly, listening to my client's needs, I can help my clients see their dreams fully realized! Buying and selling a home is a very personal and gratifying experience and it's truly fulfilling to help clients achieve their goals. My husband and I are proud parents of a precocious little girl. We enjoy spending time together renovating our vintage Austin home, traveling to see our favorite bands, and spending time exploring beautiful Central Texas outdoors with our rescue dog Bodhi. As a former board member, I am a proud supporter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I have completed 9 full marathons, countless half-marathons, and several obstacle races while raising funds to further cancer research through the Team In Training program and Woman of the Year campaign. I also volunteer for and support several local nonprofits including Austin Pets Alive, The Central Texas Food Bank, SIDs Center Austin and Big Brothers Big Sisters Austin.
