I help first-time buyers in Austin work out what they can afford, where they'd actually like to live, and how to win a house without overpaying.
We talk budget, neighborhoods and timing before you look at a single house. You leave with a plan, even if you're a year away.
I introduce you to a few local lenders and help you compare their offers line by line, so the numbers make sense before you fall for a place.
I'll tell you what a fair offer looks like, handle the negotiation and the inspection, and hand you the keys at closing.
Tell me what you're looking for and I'll keep an eye out, including homes that haven't hit the market.
Tell me what you need“We were terrified of the whole process. Tessa explained every step, and we closed on our bungalow in six weeks.”
“She talked me out of a house that was over my budget and found me one I love for less.”
“Honest, patient and quick to answer texts. I'd recommend her to anyone buying for the first time.”
I help first-time buyers in Austin work out what they can afford, where they'd actually like to live, and how to win a house without overpaying. I bought my own first home here with a lender who stopped returning calls, so I keep things simple and I answer my phone. Many of my clients are teachers, nurses and people starting out, and plenty are the first in their family to buy.
