Building relationships, advocating for others and offering a high level of service has been a key element in my entire professional career, and it is the key driver for what I do in realty. Buying & selling real estate is one of the most important personal and financial decisions most folks make, and I would love to be there to lend my expertise to make it a great experience. I look forward to helping you find the perfect home or investment!

What I do: As an expert in the Austin market, and a resident of ~25 years, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate locally. I specialize in investment real estate. Using a data-driven decision-making process, I provide insight and help clients make the best of their real estate transactions. You will receive my personal attention and guidance through every step in the process of buying or selling a home or investment in the Austin area. I love working with first-time homebuyers, or anyone who could use advice, to help clarify their vision and goals and match them with the right part of the market.

I enjoy working with investors and am an investor myself. I have the commercial understanding to provide the insight you need to make the most informed decisions. I partner with a valuable network of experts, I'd be glad to connect you with. I take pride in working with the best people around.

What I did: Several years ago, I developed a luxury rental business. It's very service oriented and caters to clientele with discerning taste. Hundreds of contracts translated into hundreds of happy clients and the business grew. Now we have well over 300 five star reviews and an average of over 4.9% of 5. Through this, I learned the value of offering a quality product, maintaining a high level of service/responsiveness, and anticipating client needs. This has carried strongly into realty and it is my goal to provide 5-star service to every client.

Before becoming a Realtor I served as a teacher for several years. I learned the importance of building strong connections to make a positive impact in students' and families' lives. I developed a strong sense of personal integrity, advocating for others and placing others needs before my own. I received teaching awards and was recognized as having a high level of skill and dedication.

Although it has taken me over 30 years to get back to Austin, I am thrilled to finally be here, and even more thrilled to be able to work both in Austin and Houston! As a graduate of St. John's School (where both my husband, Bennett and my daughter, Ellie - class of 2015 graduated as well) and after earning my English degree from the University of Texas, where I was a member of Kappa Delta Sorority, I pursued numerous adventures in Houston - from owning a sports bar, to being a family law legal assistant, to running our family's oil and gas business. My latest adventure was my decision to reinvent myself after all these years and go back to school and earn my real estate license!.

With over 30 years of personal real estate experience buying and selling numerous properties (homes, condos, farm and ranch), once I got my license, I went to work cutting my teeth in the highly competitive Houston market and earning a considerable number of professional designations including: GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute), ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative) Certified Home Marketing Specialist (CHMS), Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE), Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) and Accredited Luxury Home Specialist (ALHS) - tools that allow me to provide excellent service to my clients.

I represent all ranges of buyer and sellers in both Austin and Houston, from first timers to experienced veterans, guiding my clients step-by-step through the intricacies of the purchase process. My advanced real estate education and skill-set allow me to make the home buying experience as seamless as possible. From the very beginning of the process of choosing a lender for a pre-approval, to selecting and screening homes, to negotiating the murky waters of the sales contract, to ensuring all deadlines are met, to making sure all t's are crossed and all i's are dotted, I oversee the entire transaction with my full and undivided attention to every detail.

As one who loves to be creative and “think out of the box,” I view situations from a fresh perspective and don’t get bogged down with how things have always been done. I also have a wicked sense of humor, and love people and animals. My mother once told me that people are not loved for their strength of character, but rather for their amiable weaknesses. I must confess that my amiable weakness (according to my husband and daughter) lies in my innate inability to cook. So I draw upon the kindness and generosity of my clients and friends to provide me with foolproof recipes that I can share.

During my spare time, you can find me relaxing at our farm in Round Top, cheering on the Texas Longhorns, on the beach in Port Aransas delving into a good murder/mystery, developing another fool-proof recipe, or visiting my daughter up at NYU.

With almost three decades of stellar real estate experience, Ana tirelessly puts her expansive knowledge, her skills, and her attention to detail to work for her clients; in both English and Spanish. Her tenaciousness, strong negotiation skills and service-obsessed approach characterize a distinguished and well-respected real estate professional who specializes in the luxury market and new home construction.

While she is grateful for the honors, Ana's focus remains on her clients, many of whom are repeat customers, drawn back to her signature service time and again.
