Selling a home in Spanish Oaks is not like selling anywhere else in Bee Cave, and the agent you choose should know that from lived experience, not from a brochure. I'm Cynthia Mattiza, an Associate Broker with Kuper Sotheby's International Realty, and I have called this corner of the Hill Country home for over two decades. When you list with me, you're not hiring someone who studied the neighborhood. You're hiring your neighbor.
If you're weighing your options, here is why so many Spanish Oaks homeowners, and the families who refer them, trust me with one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.
Spanish Oaks is a guard-gated, custom-home community with Hill Country views, a golf course, and a lifestyle that buyers fall in love with the moment they drive through the gate. But a great listing photo does not explain why one street feels different from the next, how a lot sits in relation to the views, or what the community is like on a quiet Tuesday evening.
I do. I live in this area, I drive these roads every day, and I know how each pocket of the neighborhood shows. That means I can price your home against what is actually happening on your street, not just against a spreadsheet of comps. It also means I can walk a buyer through the home and speak honestly about daily life here, which is what turns a showing into an offer.
I don't only work in Spanish Oaks. I'm part of it. I go to the local schools, I'm involved in the Spanish Oaks community, and I run into my clients at the same events, fields, and gatherings that make this place feel like a small town inside the Hill Country.
That matters when you sell. Families relocating to the Lake Travis area want to know about the schools, the neighbors, and what a normal week looks like. I can answer those questions firsthand, because I'm living them. Buyers can tell the difference between an agent reciting talking points and one who genuinely belongs here, and that trust carries into the negotiation.
My business is built on referrals, repeat clients, and multi-generational relationships, and that only happens when you show up for a community year after year.
Before real estate, I worked in interior design and custom home construction in Santa Barbara. That background is a real edge in a community full of custom homes. I understand how a home was built, what finishes and details carry value, and how light, layout, and flow shape a buyer's first impression.
In practice, that means I can tell you which updates are worth making before you list and which are not, how to stage your home to show off its architecture and views, and how to explain the craftsmanship to buyers who are comparing it against other luxury estates. It also helps me read inspection and appraisal conversations with a builder's eye, so there are fewer surprises at the negotiating table.
Spanish Oaks buyers are discerning, and overpricing a luxury home costs you time and leverage. I price from the ground up: recent sales, active competition, and the specifics of your lot, views, and finishes, then I pressure-test that number against how buyers are actually behaving right now. When my gut says one thing and the data says another, I go with the data and tell you why.
From there, your home gets a launch that matches its level: professional photography and video, polished presentation, and exposure through the Kuper Sotheby's International Realty network and the global Sotheby's International Realty brand. I stay hands-on through showings, offers, and negotiation, and I communicate directly and quickly, so you always know where things stand.
When it comes to selling a luxury home in Spanish Oaks, I bring credentials, community knowledge, and a design-and-construction perspective that a generalist agent cannot match. I have been a Platinum Top 50 REALTOR® every year since 2012 and an Austin Business Journal Top Producing Agent every year since 2014. I am RealTrends Verified, placing me in the top 1.5% of agents nationally, and I was nominated for 2025 REALTOR® of the Year.
I started in real estate at 24, and after 16 years my business still runs on referrals, repeat clients, and multi-generational relationships. My local roots run deep: I live in Bee Cave, I go to the local schools, and I'm involved in the Spanish Oaks community. Add my background in interior design and custom home construction, and you get an agent who understands your home as a place to live, a well-built asset, and a listing that has to win over the right buyer.
If you're curious what your home could sell for, or you simply want to talk through timing, I'm happy to start with a conversation. No pressure, just honest guidance from a neighbor who knows this community.
