Austin has grown pretty dramatically over the past couple of decades. In fact, since 1990, Austin's MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) has roughly doubled in population during that period, from about 846,000 in 1990 to over 1.5 million today. Despite this fact, I find this market to be quite manageable in its entirety. Our team handles sales throughout central Texas.
I have had home buyers and sellers ask me which areas of Austin and the surrounding area I actually work. Additionally, I had an agent in California ask the same question of me a few days ago. I thought it might be helpful to provide a list of all of the towns/areas we cover.
Basically, I have assisted buyers in just about every Austin MLS area (i.e. every part of Austin), as well as the following towns in central Texas:
- Round Rock
- Pflugerville
- Cedar Park
- Leander
- Georgetown
- Liberty Hill
- Rollingwood
- Westlake Hills
- Spicewood
- Lakeway
- Volente
- Lago Vista
- Jonestown
- Manchaca
- Dripping Springs
- Driftwood
- Wimberley
- Bastrop
- Buda
- Kyle
- Manor
- Elgin
- Coupland
- Jarrell
- Hutto
- Taylor
- Any homes on Lake Travis or Lake Austin
With regard to listings, we will consider most of the above areas, depending on the circumstances.
I hope this is helpful. As you can see, "Austin real estate" actually covers many, many outlying areas.
I am personally of the mindset that Austin is not too large to handle the whole thing pretty easily, particularly when it comes to representing buyers. In larger cities such as Dallas or Houston, this is much more difficult to achieve.
So, if you are looking to purchase in any of the above areas, please feel free to give me a call. I cannot guarantee that this is a comprehensive list, so if you're not sure, call me anyway. If I can't help, I can find someone who can.
If you are an agent with a referral that you are looking to send our way, I will promptly pay a 25% referral fee upon closing.
I have also handled several corporate relocation accounts, including St. Jude Medical and ERCOT, so I would consider relocation to Austin to be among my specialities. You might find my online relocation package to be helpful:

What a great idea for a blog, Jason! I am sending everything Austin your way!
RICKI - I appreciate that. I feel the same way about you in your area of expertise.
LISA - Yes, we are way inland (probably 3.5 hours from any coastal areas). We do cover a big area, but I guess with gas prices I am simply more selective with clients. :)
DON - Thanks!
LINDA - I thank you for your confidence in any referrals you might have for this area of Texas. I truly appreciate it.
AMANDA - Thank you, my friend. I know that you will.
BRIAN - Good one. Thankfully, it's not completely true, since it takes a whole day to drive across the state!
Jason:
Great localism post and a really good idea for a post. Wish I would have thought of it first.
GARY - Absolutely. I moved to this area in 1988, and Round Rock was barely a blip on the radar. Now it is approaching 100,000 people.
ALAN - Thanks, and sorry!
DEB - The prices are still pretty high, but it is definitely a buyer's market, depending on the price range. If you are sincerely interested, let me know via email and I'll get you some info. Maybe you can come work for me!
