Whether working for Buyers or Sellers, deal-making skills are in my blood. I, Agent Aaron have negotiated more than a quarter of a billion dollars in real estate-related deals since 2000.
My career in real estate began in the early 1990s as a residential homebuilder in the Pacific Northwest working with a small custom builder before starting my own company.
I built houses and developed some land on a part-time basis while working full time in an unrelated career. It was always my driving ambition to be the best homebuilder. I sought out the right mentors and immersed myself in the details and processes, eventually creating a speculative homebuilding company with a partner. That company grew quickly, and I eventually sold my shares and started a small, high-end, solely-owned homebuilding company.
My wife, Sherry, quit her full-time job of 20 years at a local engineering company to run the office. The building boom of the mid-2000s was great for us. But eventually the market downturn forced us to make some big decisions. We had visited family in 2001 in Austin and fell in love with the area — especially the sunshine and friendly people.
We moved here in 2008 and have enjoyed becoming part of the community. There is so much to do here, and we're just 15 minutes from downtown Austin. Great places to hunt, fish, and boat abound in the area. Among my favorite places? Hill Country/Dripping Springs. A wonderful town! Our home is in nearby Kyle, bordering the town of Buda. Central Texas is a wonderful place to call home.
There are so many choices — Austin offers the best of urban sophistication and modern living, or you can choose to live on a 1,000-acre ranch within 20 minutes of downtown. Choices — Central Texas has plenty!
Real estate is a relationship business — a people business — on both sides of the contract. I conduct business in a fair and ethical manner. Whether you are a client or another real estate agent, I will treat you the way I want to be treated.
I have combined my business savvy with my people skills to ensure that I get the best results for my clients. I use technology to help market your home or find you the home of your dreams, but I never forget the value of face-to-face, actual human contact, when putting the best deal together for you.
Testimonials
"I just wanted to call and wish you a Merry Christmas and thank you for working so hard, being so patient, and doing whatever you could to get us in our home in time for the holidays. Thanks for showing us how we could buy a home, when we thought it wasn't going to be possible for months or years to do it. We know that if it wasn't for you, we would never have closed." (Kyle)

"Thank you so much for putting up with me. Thank you for explaining everything to me, and repeating it when I didn't listen. I know I didn't handle my frustrations very well, but you were always helpful and professional. I know many agents would have walked away from us, but you stayed with us, kept on us when we needed to get more documents, and were always kind and good-humored about things. I never really believed we'd get this home. But you made it happen. Thanks!" (Austin)
— — —
"I am normally a bundle of nerves with major decisions and, although I had my nervous moments, you always took my calls and responded to my emails right away and explained things without talking down to me. Finding the home was easy part, but we had no clue about just what it took to make that house our home, but you did. You never pushed us to buy the home. You were always honest in your assessments of the flaws in homes we saw, so I knew you were on our side. You not only did your job, but sometimes it seemed like you did the other agent's job too. Every time some new obstacle came up, you created a solution that worked for all parties. You even answered a lot of questions about our loan. Don't think we didn't notice." (Austin)

"Thank you so much, Aaron, for making our home purchase the stuff of dreams! We really appreciate your attention to detail, you caring, compassion, and willingness to make things work for us." (Forest Creek)

"Wow. Thanks for all your hard work. Thanks for returning our calls. Thanks for your uncanny memory. And thanks most of all for caring about what you do!" (Panorama)
— — —
"Weather delays were putting my closing date -- and my rate lock -- in danger. But you rolled up your sleeves and made sure the work got done right and we closed on time. You saved my dream." (Forest Creek)

"Aaron, your wacky sense of humor belies the serious professional you really are. And it's obvious you care. You know your stuff! I would not hesitate to recommend you to family and friends alike." (Cougar Ridge)
