Buying or Selling With an International Client? Don’t Miss This. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Austin is a diverse, international city, so many real estate transactions here involve someone who lives abroad, buying a home or selling one they own. In this video I explain FIRPTA, the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, a federal rule that catches people off guard. When a foreign person sells U.S. property, generally fifteen percent of the total sale price (not the profit) is withheld and sent to the IRS at closing, and surprisingly, it’s the buyer who is responsible for making sure

Read excerpt
Buying a home in Central Texas, whether you’re local or moving here from out of state?

In my latest video, I clear that up and then cover what actually matters, how this coverage differs from your homeowners insurance, how it differs from a new-home builder's warranty, and the Texas-
What the Austin Housing Market Actually Looks Like Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everybody has an opinion about the housing market right now, your neighbor, your coworker, people who haven't looked at actual data in a while. Most of what you're hearing comes from national headlines that may have nothing to do with what's happening in Austin, let alone in your specific neighborhood this summer.
