Building relationships, advocating for others and offering a high level of service has been a key element in my entire professional career, and it is the key driver for what I do in realty. Buying & selling real estate is one of the most important personal and financial decisions most folks make, and I would love to be there to lend my expertise to make it a great experience. I look forward to helping you find the perfect home or investment!

What I do: As an expert in the Austin market, and a resident of ~25 years, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate locally. I specialize in investment real estate. Using a data-driven decision-making process, I provide insight and help clients make the best of their real estate transactions. You will receive my personal attention and guidance through every step in the process of buying or selling a home or investment in the Austin area. I love working with first-time homebuyers, or anyone who could use advice, to help clarify their vision and goals and match them with the right part of the market.

I enjoy working with investors and am an investor myself. I have the commercial understanding to provide the insight you need to make the most informed decisions. I partner with a valuable network of experts, I'd be glad to connect you with. I take pride in working with the best people around.

What I did: Several years ago, I developed a luxury rental business. It's very service oriented and caters to clientele with discerning taste. Hundreds of contracts translated into hundreds of happy clients and the business grew. Now we have well over 300 five star reviews and an average of over 4.9% of 5. Through this, I learned the value of offering a quality product, maintaining a high level of service/responsiveness, and anticipating client needs. This has carried strongly into realty and it is my goal to provide 5-star service to every client.

Before becoming a Realtor I served as a teacher for several years. I learned the importance of building strong connections to make a positive impact in students' and families' lives. I developed a strong sense of personal integrity, advocating for others and placing others needs before my own. I received teaching awards and was recognized as having a high level of skill and dedication.

Sonny obtained his real estate license in 1981 and became a broker in 1985. He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Sam Houston State University with an Agriculture Business major and minor in Real Estate. Sonny specializes in wildlife and ag properties all across Texas. 

Working as a licensed Realtor for twenty plus years it has been my pleasure to have many happy buyers and sellers. My mission is to utilize integrity, dependability, professionalism and neighborhood expertise to create a seamless process for my clients from beginning to closing. Whether buying or selling I promise to anticipate every step and use strong negotiation skills to drive the transaction. I am experienced in a wide spectrum of property types, such as luxury, ranches and even some residential developments projects and now my team is serving Houston and Austin area real estate.

Whether you are a past client or a new client, I'm enthusiastic about hearing from you, so call me today and let's talk about your real estate needs and goals.

Starting in 1990, as an investor, I bought several properties, fixed, and rented each one. Each 'deal' was a lot of hard work and a ton of fun. I was fortunate to be surrounded by family, friends, and trustworthy business people who guided and taught me along the way. As a result, I have formed a network of professionals, on whom we can all trust....from lenders, inspectors and appraisers, to title companies and a slew of home related vendors. Real estate is not new to me. Whether you want to buy, sell, or lease, providing relevant market information and price comparisons, and contract assistance, opinions and advice are my strong suites. I also work well in the background to prevent ALL snags possible. Perhaps equally importantly to you, I'll insure clear up-to-date communications with you throughout the process. I want to help make your next transaction smooth and memorable, because, this is all about you and what you want, your dream. Side note: I have 3 miniature daschunds that are a constant source of laughter for me. Have you ever been to the weener dog races held the last weekend of April each year in Buda? You should, it´s an absolute riot!!!
