I’ve had plenty of buyers find the house on showing number one.

That’s not because I’m trying to sell them on it. Usually, it’s because we’ve already done the work of figuring out what matters before we ever walk through the door.

There’s the list…then there’s the feeling.
When both are saying yes, I pay attention.

Celebrating the woman who keeps things moving, keeps us laughing, and somehow makes it all look easy.

Happy birthday week, Christy. 🤍

I’ve always been curious about Tulsa in a way that goes far beyond real estate.

I find myself asking…
Who designed the building down the street?
Why is one block developed differently than the next?
What used to be there? What’s changing? What’s worth holding onto?

After enough years of paying attention, all of that curiosity becomes useful.

It becomes context. Instinct. Better questions. The ability to notice something that might not make it onto a listing sheet.

That’s what I want to bring to the people who trust me with a home.

Not just knowing how to buy or sell here.

Knowing where we are.

Before Tulsa was built, it was drawn.

Inside the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture archives are nearly 70,000 records documenting the buildings, architects, and ideas that helped shape the city we know today.

For Dustin, TFA has always been more than a resource. It’s a place where Tulsa’s architectural history is preserved, studied, and—maybe most importantly—made accessible to the people who live here.

Consider this our Tulsa Foundation for Architecture superfan post. 😉

Tulsa has a way of hiding some of its best stories in plain sight.

This Robert Buchner-designed building, now home to the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture and AIA, is one of them.

And just a few degrees away, Buchner’s work intersects with Dustin’s own story — through the former Florence Park Library, his family, and years of Tulsa history layered into one place.

Knowing the city is more than knowing the streets. It’s knowing what shaped them.

The OWNTULSA family would like to feature, on this 25th Anniversary of 9/11, a design and technology installation. This use of drones to recreate the Twin Towers is a beautiful tribute.

Design studio Drift and architect Shigeru Ban have worked to recreate the Twin Towers with lighted drones for the 25th anniversary of 9/11, with each light representing a life lost in the World Trade Center attack.

Using the tools of our time to remember the past. We are honored to witness this beautiful installation to acknowledge those lost on 9/11. Technology is part of our new revolution….artistically and functionally we can create beauty with its application.

Remember WE CAN and so WE DO.

A look back at a few past listings, along with some of the details Dustin notices beyond beds, baths, and square footage.

Some of the most meaningful aspects of a home are often the hardest to express in a listing.

It’s the way the light fills each room, the neighborhood's unique rhythm, and the nearby spots that seamlessly weave into your daily routine. It’s about the familiar faces you begin to recognize, often without even realizing it. These are the little things that turn a mere address into a cherished part of your life in Tulsa.

And they're definitely worth noticing.

Because finding the right home isn’t just about knowing what’s on the market; it’s about discovering the heart and soul of Tulsa itself. 🌇
