Real estate has always been my foundation. I purchased my first condo at 19 in College Station, went on to earn a master’s degree in land and real estate, and built early experience developing student housing near Texas A&M. Those formative years established the backbone of my career.
In recent years, I stepped into the marketing world, building a successful agency that honed skills in analysis, communication, and positioning. That experience wasn’t a departure from real estate — it was cross-training. Today, I see clearly how essential those muscles are for brokerage, investments, and development in 2025 and beyond.
That perspective is what I’m bringing back home through Oak Forest Realty. As Managing Partner, alongside my longtime colleague Jamie Poirier, our mission is simple: combine a deep real estate foundation with forward-thinking marketing and data-driven analysis to create lasting value in Austin.
Why Austin, Why Now
Austin’s real estate market is in a moment of correction and opportunity. Multifamily values are recalibrating, supply is catching up, and both investors and families are reassessing what long-term stability looks like. For those with the right foundation and discipline, it’s the best environment we’ve seen in over a decade.
Opportunities with Oak Forest
Oak Forest Realty is committed to serving the full spectrum of clients and partners in Austin, including:
- Passive Flip Partnerships – Fully managed single-family and small-property flip projects designed for limited partners who want exposure without the day-to-day management.
- Curated Deal Flow for Active Investors – Opportunities sourced, vetted, and presented to those who want to execute projects themselves.
- Multifamily & Commercial Representation – Buy-side guidance on larger investment acquisitions with a disciplined, fiduciary approach.
- Residential Brokerage – From first-time homebuyers to families selling or upgrading, every client receives the same care and strategic expertise we apply to multi-million-dollar deals.
- Development Projects – From flex space in New Braunfels to high-demand infill redevelopments across Austin, we are planting roots in projects that align with the city’s growth trajectory.
Looking Ahead
This is more than a new chapter — it’s the convergence of my early backbone in real estate and the skills I’ve sharpened along the way. At Oak Forest, we are planting roots with intention, and we are committed to growing something lasting in Austin.
As Seneca once said: “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
We believe Austin in 2025 is precisely that moment.
