What Makes Us Different
Working with South Austin Homes isn’t like working with most other real estate agents. It’s a whole lot easier, more sincere and focused on you and your unique needs. And we’ll just go ahead and say it: It’s a whole lot more fun, too.
South Austin Homes
Other Agents
-
We’ll only work with you if we both agree it’s a fit. We keep our client list small and specific to maintain quality and integrity of our work.
They’re always eager to sign with any client even if the quality of their service suffers.
-
We look at the whole picture of your life and advise you accordingly. If we don’t think the time is right for you to sell your home, or your approach is missing the mark, we’ll always be honest with you.
They see you as a deal, not as a person.
-
We invest time on the front-end to understand you and your needs. This thoughtful approach saves you time and stress. Learn more about Our Process.
They rush into action before really getting to know you.
-
We understand that we’re an advocate for you during an intense and extremely important time in your life.
They’ll overlook the importance of emotional support and true guidance.
-
We keep your best interests front and center. We’ll tell you what you need to know, not what you want to hear.
They’d rather get the listing than tell you what you need to hear, causing you pain and suffering down the road.
-
We’ll speed up your path to your goals by getting clear on what you want and removing any potential obstacles.
They’ll let problems drag on instead of moving you towards your goals.
-
We’re a big fan of saving you time. We use innovative, digital systems that make the process easy and convenient for you.
They use old, slow processes that aren’t digitized or modern. This complicates what should be easy, and causes you time and frustration.
-
We manage every detail to ensure nothing falls through the cracks or costs you money.
They delegate important steps to underqualified team members, putting you at risk.
-
We’ll impress you with our knowledge and expertise, not with the car we drive. South Austin isn’t flashy and neither are we.
Their cars are more impressive than their experience or abilities.

Our Team
Claire Dunn, Buyer Specialist
South Austin Homes has recently expanded its team to include buyer specialist Claire Dunn. Claire’s track record shows that she cares as much about her clients as we do, and we’re thrilled to have her join the family! She comes with a wealth of experience as a Realtor specializing in the Austin area since 2016. Check out Claire’s 5 star reviews to see why her clients love working with her.
Claire has been an Austinite for 17 years after moving here from her hometown of Albuquerque, NM. She’s a mom to 5-year-old Charlotte who loves playing with their two dogs, Chimi and Tuna, and retrieving eggs from their four chickens. Needless to say, Claire is a fun-loving addition to the team. When she’s not helping our clients find their dream home, you can find her tending her garden, making jewelry, or swimming with her daughter. Claire always strives to create the best client experience in everything she does and her work at South Austin Homes is no exception.
How We Give Back
We don’t just love our Austin community, we work in it and support it too. Each year we sponsor Due West, an event presented by Big Medium, a nonprofit arts organization that works hard to keep Austin unique. Specifically, the organization presents the East and West Austin Studio Tours every year, which also happens to feature a lot of stops in our South Austin neck of the woods. For more than a decade we’ve loved going on these tours, meeting the artists and supporting their work. Art to Austin is part of our DNA and its efforts like Big Medium that help it thrive.
