You’ve landed at my blog, either by intent or accident — and I’m happy to have you!
I started this blog as sort of a catch-all spot to post all kinds of random stuff I’d like to pass along, much of it pertaining to Austin real estate (my own business in particular or market info in general), our local economy, information for first-time buyers and sellers, or interesting/funny tidbits about Austin… or gardening tips, home decor/design ideas, places you should check out, coming events, notes about the weather, or pictures I snap in and around Austin that I happen to like.

If you’re interested in browsing Central Texas real estate listings available for purchase or lease, please click on the SEARCH AUSTIN AREA HOMES FOR SALE link here or on the sidebar. (Note: You’ll be asked to register on the JB Goodwin REALTORS website in order to view properties, but we won’t start spamming you.)
If you’d like to talk about purchasing a home — as either your primary residence, vacation or second home, or an investment property — OR are curious about new home construction, OR possibly listing your home for sale (OR just finding out what price your home would list for even if you’re not yet ready to sell) I’d be delighted to chat with you!
Also note: if you’re moving out of the area, even to another country, I can still get you taken care of through our relocation department! Seriously, you don’t have to try and track down an agent to help you buy your new home in New York or Paris or Bangkok: JB Goodwin REALTORS is a member of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, a selective global community of over 500 independent real estate companies, with 130,000 sales associates in over 70 countries — so I can get you connected to an agent who will take care of your needs every bit as well as I would personally, if only you were staying here. 🙂
See? There are so many things for us to talk about!

In the mean time, like the unknown artist at Austin’s graffiti wall says above: Just keep swimming. One day I’ll be in your ocean.
I’m not entirely sure what that means, but I’m sure it’s profound.
