Find the Austin home that feels like yours.
Hi, I'm Irie. I help people buy and sell homes across Austin with real market data, a vendor list I have spent years building, and an eye for the details that turn a house into a home.
Light, flow, and the details that make a house feel like home.

Years in Austin property management taught me what rents well and what keeps a rental easy to own.
Investor guides
Forever homes, not just next rentals.
I grew up in Denver and started working in restaurants as a teenager. By 19 I was managing a team, which taught me how to read a room and how to stay calm when things get busy.
I studied interior design at Colorado State, then moved to Austin and spent years in property management, learning the city street by street and building a list of vendors I trust. Now I bring all of it to helping people find homes they will love for a long time.
Hyde Park was my first Austin neighborhood, and it still feels like home. Whether you are buying your first place or selling your fifth, my job is to make the numbers clear and the process feel easy.

The Domain and North Austin

Questions I hear a lot.
How do you figure out what my home is worth?
I prepare a comparative market analysis by hand, using recent sales from the MLS, the homes you would compete with today, and the details of your home that an algorithm cannot see. It is a professional opinion of value, not an appraisal.
Is a first conversation free?
Always. Tell me where you are and what you are thinking, and I will give you an honest, no pressure next step.
Where does your market data come from?
The monthly Central Texas Housing Report from Unlock MLS and the Austin Board of REALTORS®. I always note the source and the month.
Do you work with people moving from out of state?
Yes, and I love it. I moved here from Denver myself. I can tour homes for you on video, help you compare neighborhoods remotely, and walk you through every step from afar.
How quickly will you get back to me?
Usually within one business day, and often much sooner.
Let's talk about your move.
Tell me a little about what you're dreaming about and I'll follow up personally, usually within one business day.
