When it comes to selling the home as a part of an estate, I’ve seen a LOT of agents skimp on marketing, staging, de-cluttering, and photography. Some of them even use photos taken with their mobile phone. Cutting corners in that way has a significantly negative impact on the online image and perceived value of the home.

For this estate, I knew that once the original furnishings were removed, some virtual staging would offer a more contemporary vision for the home’s interior. In preparation for the photos, I lifted the great room blinds to emphasize the back yard and directed the real estate photographer give particular care to symmetry when composing the photos. I had my virtual staging contractor - a person, not ChatGPT - virtually stage some key images. You can click through the images to see. My printer made beautiful enlargements of those virtually-staged images mounted to foam board so they could be displayed on easles in the house to help visitors visualize the space in person. The result was both beautiful and effective. Kudos also goes to the seller for pricing according to the current market.

For the past 6 months, homes sold in Tahitian Village were on the market an average of 89 days. We got this one under contract in only 32 days and closed a few weeks later. The executor and I were grateful for such a win!

Want to know what it's like to live in Tahitian Village? You can grow all sorts of amazing vegetables in your garden, but you have to share with the wildlife. As I was getting my signs ready for my open house tomorrow, I spotted something orange moving out of the corner of my eye. It turned out to be a squirrel with a tomato from my garden tucked under his chin. I could have watched him all day, but eventually he got annoyed with me and left to pursue some privacy. Here is a 3.5 minute video of a squirrel eating a tomato for your enjoyment! 🐿️🍅

As a agent, I sometimes catch wind of properties coming up for sale soon. If it’s a fit for my buyers I’ll show it, if possible. When the buyers then fall in love with it, my objective becomes to keep it off market to ensure that we don’t compete with other buyers. In this case, we rushed to craft an attractive offer that was an absoute win-win the day before it was scheduled to hit the market. This worked out really great for the seller, especially since logistics to accommodate showings would have been fairly involved for her. We were as thorough as possible with our offer terms and went above and beyond to take care of the seller, taking into consideration time to vacate, furnishings, and even plants. The seller got what she needed and the buyers got a unique house for a great price in theneighborhood they wanted. Is there a neighborhood where you would like to find the perfect home? Give me a call and I’ll help you get it.

The buyers of this house had actually seen it months ago in 2025 while working with another realtor. When they asked me in the spring to represent them, I listened carefully to what they wanted in a home. We looked at a few we thought might work, but they missed the mark when we saw them in person. Since I had shown this house before, I suggested we take a look at it because it met a lot of their criteria aaaaand had an amazing, unique view! Thankfully, they agreed to have another look. While we were there they realized that not only did it have the space they needed, but the soaring, tall, perfectly groomed trees; beautifully landscaped grounds; stone paths; and terraces were like no other! It's a very special property for a very special couple.

Give me a call and tell me what you want in your next home. I’ll help you find it!

One of the highest compliments for me as a real estate agent is when a fellow agent asks me to list their home. The co-owner of this special place retired from real estate a few years back. She and her husband told me that they chose me to represent them because they saw how hard I worked in our neighborhood. Lucky me because I loved working with them and, especially, selling one of these original Tahitian Village homes. Many of them are so well-built and have features that stand out from newer homes (it’s as though they were built with our magnificent trees in mind). Congratulations to these sellers who are now living the best lake life they could have imagined!

Everyone thinks of Elon Musk when someone mentions Bastrop. Now we can think of movies too. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18hy4Enx9L/

🎬 Hollywood is heading to the Lost Pines — and Bastrop County is ready.
Actor Zachary Levi has chosen Bastrop County over Atlanta for Wyldwood Studios — a 75-acre, $100M+ film and creative campus on the Colorado River. With soundstages, residential cabins, an amphitheater, farm-to-table dining, and a spa, this isn't just a studio. It's a creative community.
Why Bastrop?
✅ Texas's new $1.5B film incentive program now rivals Georgia's
✅ Bastrop County's Media Production Development Zone offers a state sales tax exemption
✅ 33 miles from Austin — close enough for talent, affordable enough to live
✅ Unique Lost Pines landscape that no other film location in North America can match
✅ A growing cluster of studios: Line204 Texas, Athena Studios, and more already here
The first soundstages open in 2027. The ripple effect — construction jobs, permanent studio positions, tourism, and local business growth — starts now.
Bastrop County isn't just on the map. It is the map. 🌲
