$1M+ Advisory

Buy your next $1M+ Austin home faster, with less drama, and without regret.

Built for cash buyers, executives relocating, and time-poor professionals: fewer tours, sharper filtering, cleaner decisions. Especially if you're paying cash or moving in from another market and don't want to spend months learning Austin the hard way.

30–45 minute 1:1 conversation. By capacity, I only take 4 families per month. If this month is full, you go on the waitlist.

How I work

This is not a tour service.

My role is not to show you every home on the market. My role is to help you avoid buying the wrong house — fast.

Every recommendation is filtered through six lenses:

  • Long-term livability
  • Resale strength
  • Location trajectory
  • Hidden ownership risks
  • Lifestyle fit
  • Execution complexity

The goal is simple: clarity, speed, and fewer expensive mistakes.

You do not need to see more homes. You need better filtering.

Simple rule

If you ticked 3 NOs or more on your current checklist — don't sign.

Three red flags on your list means you're about to buy the wrong house. Before you put in an offer, book a 30–45 minute review. No obligation. If the house won't survive the filter, I'll tell you straight.

Bilingual Day One

It's not whether you can buy. It's that you want to get this one right — fast.

Buyer reviewing real estate listings on a laptop, thoughtful expression in a sunlit room.

You're paying cash or buying with high capacity, and you'd rather protect liquidity than max out what a bank would lend.

You're relocating to Austin and don't want to spend months learning the market the hard way.

You run an executive or founder calendar — your time is worth more than tour number 27.

You want a decision that holds up 5 to 10 years out: resale, neighborhood, taxes — no surprises.

You define quality by location, lifestyle, and discretion — not by finishes that photograph well.

You want to enter the market with strategic timing, not pressure.

You care about which builders deliver and which cut corners — and where the real construction differences live.

You want you and your partner on the same page, calmly — not one dragging the other.

On a $1M+ purchase, what matters isn't just what you buy. It's how you decide.

Fewer tours. Cleaner decisions.

My job isn't to walk you through 40 listings. It's to filter the noise, surface only the 3–5 options that actually fit your life and your numbers, and help you decide — without pressure — whether any of them is worth a yes.

Clear target: if the right home exists for you, be under contract in 30–45 days after seeing 3–5 real options at most.

What you walk away with

Your Smart Buy Map — a strategy artifact, not a generic call.

A private dossier built by hand for your profile. Not a template PDF. The X-ray of your next purchase.

Neighborhood map (9 total)

Neighborhood map (9 total)

3 green, 3 yellow, and 3 red zones with concrete notes on 5–10 year appreciation, taxes, and HOAs. You know where to put your money — and where not to — before seeing a single house.

Budget range with risk buffer
02

Budget range with risk buffer

The real number you can carry, full monthly payment scenario (PITI + HOA + maintenance), and a risk buffer so the house doesn't end up running you. If you're paying cash, we tune the range around liquidity and comfort — not just what a bank would underwrite.

5 $50k+ mistakes you won't make

The specific mistakes I see $1M+ buyers repeat: builders that cut corners, neighborhoods that look great and don't hold, offer structures that give money away. You avoid them because you know them.

Take the 1M+ checklist with you before the call.

The same filter I use with every client: 12 criteria that separate a strategic buy from a $50k+ mistake. Run your current list through it before booking.

The Process

How the Smart Buy Map works

Initial read (45 min)
01

Initial read (45 min)

We walk through your situation: current home, income, cash on hand, the areas you're considering, your lifestyle and non-negotiables. You leave with a first draft of your Smart Buy Map: timeline options, target areas, and a recommended budget range.

Honest filter
02

Honest filter

Behind the scenes I scan MLS + off-market inventory, pre-check taxes, HOAs and construction quality, and kill anything that fails your risk profile. You only see the 3–5 worth your time — the noise stays out.

Decide with conviction
03

Decide with conviction

We review your Smart Buy Map together so you know where to look, what to avoid, and what 'yes' looks like for you and your partner. If a home earns the yes, we move. If not, you leave with a clear plan for when and how the right move happens.

What I do for you behind the scenes

Translation: I save you time, decisions, and expensive mistakes.

Who I am for this purchase

I'm not the agent who shows you the prettiest house. I'm the advisor who keeps you out of costly mistakes.

  • 100+ families have bought or sold with me in Texas
  • Top Producer in Austin for multiple years running
  • Specialized in complex, higher-ticket purchases: ITIN, deal structuring, aggressive negotiation on price and terms
Recent outcomes
  • Tech exec relocating from California: avoided a $150k-overpriced "pretty" house and bought in a pocket that appreciated 12% in 18 months.
  • Austin family trading up: cut their shortlist from 27 homes to 4, went under contract in 10 days with strong resale upside.
  • Foreign-national buyer: structured terms to protect exit options and keep monthly payment aligned with their risk tolerance.

I'd rather you not buy yet than buy poorly.

My guarantee to you

You leave with clarity — or I'll be the one to say don't move yet.

If by the end of our session you don't feel meaningfully clearer about where, when, and how to buy, I'll tell you myself: let's not move yet. I'd rather you not buy yet than buy poorly. That's the only guarantee that matters when there's $1M+ on the line.

Six quick fields. Only 4 families per month — if this month is full, you go on the waitlist. I'll respond within 24 hours to confirm a time that works for you.

This is for you if:

  • You're considering a $1M+ purchase in Austin in the next 12 months.
  • You're buying cash or with high capacity and want to preserve liquidity, not maximize debt.
  • You're relocating or your time is worth more than seeing every listing on the internet.
  • You value strategy, discretion, and peace over the sport of touring.
  • You want fewer showings and a stronger decision — not more noise.

Not a fit if:

  • You're just browsing listings with no clear budget or timing yet.
  • You're treating this purely as an investment trade — my focus here is making sure your primary home gives you status, freedom, and peace of mind.

Common questions before we talk

$1M+ Advisory

A $1M+ home should give you more freedom, not more anxiety.

  • what you can buy without becoming a servant to the house
  • which neighborhoods make sense to invest in right now
  • how to lower the risk of regretting it later
