I Made This Move Myself

From South Austin to West Austin

I raised my young children in South Austin's 78704 for more than ten years. About six years ago, my family moved west, and I have never looked back. It was one of the best decisions I made for my family.

I know what it feels like to sell a home you love and step into the next chapter at the same time, and I know how much the timing, the money, and the logistics matter. Today I live in Spanish Oaks, and I help families make that same move every year.

Why One Agent Should Handle Both Sides

Your sale and your purchase are one plan

  • Timing: Your closing dates, your move, and possession of both homes line up.
  • Leverage: Knowing exactly where your sale stands lets me write a stronger offer on your next home.
  • Money: Fewer surprises with bridge financing, carrying costs, and double mortgages.
  • One point of contact: One person tracking every deadline on both contracts.

The Sell and Buy Playbook

Four paths I walk clients through

  1. Buy first, then sell. Use a bridge loan or a home equity line to purchase without a sale contingency. Strongest offer, but you carry two homes for a short time.
  2. Sell first with a leaseback. Sell your current home and lease it back from the buyer for 30 to 60 days. You know your proceeds before you buy, and you only move once.
  3. Buy with a sale contingency. Make your purchase contingent on selling your home. Works best on homes with longer days on market or in off-market conversations.
  4. Coordinated same-day closings. Close on your sale and purchase on the same day, with funds from one flowing into the other.

Prepping your current home: My background in interior design and custom home construction helps me position your home to sell for top dollar, and Sotheby's International Realty puts it in front of buyers locally and around the world.

Club membership timing: At many private clubs, membership is separate from the home purchase and may involve an application or waitlist. I help you confirm membership options before you write an offer, not after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Selling and buying in a Bee Cave golf community

Should we sell our current home first or buy first?
It depends on your equity, financing, and how competitive your target community is. Buying first with a bridge loan gives you the strongest offer. Selling first with a leaseback gives you certainty. A local agent can model both before you decide.

Does buying a home in a Bee Cave golf community include club membership?
Usually not. At private clubs like Spanish Oaks, membership is separate from the home purchase and can be limited. Falconhead's course is public-fee. Always confirm membership options before making an offer.

What golf course communities are near Bee Cave, Texas?
The main options are Spanish Oaks and Falconhead in Bee Cave, Flintrock Falls and The Hills in Lakeway, and Barton Creek in West Austin.

Can we avoid moving twice?
Yes. A seller leaseback, a bridge loan, or coordinated same-day closings can all get you from your current home to your new one in a single move.
