Why Brigid

Real estate, from someone who's already made the move.

I'm a wife, investor, and Realtor with eXp Realty and the Wolfpack Group. I believe real estate is one of the most reliable, accessible ways to build and protect wealth. It's a way for individuals and families to gain equity, stability, and control over their financial future.

Real estate has been part of my life since before I had a license. As a second-generation Realtor, I grew up around this business, and I've since built on that foundation with hundreds of transactions and licenses in two states. I'm also an investor and landlord myself, working on expanding my own investment portfolio for the long term.

My husband and I relocated to Austin for his previous career at The Boring Company before he moved to join a new startup called TerraFirma in Buda, Texas, so relocating for a new role is something we understand and can relate to. Between his career and mine, our closest friends are engineers, founders, and operators across Austin's engineering, software, and tech scene. When your recruiter says "you'll love it here," I'm the person who can actually show you why.

I specialize in first-time buyers, relocation clients, rentals, investors, and new construction homes. My approach is grounded in truth, data, and relationships. Whether you're renting for your first year in Austin or buying the day you arrive, my job is to give you the facts, the negotiation, and the plan that fits your bigger picture.

Austin is genuinely home for us now, not just a market I work in. You'll usually find my husband and me organizing game nights, swimming at Barton Springs, climbing at Mesa Rim, or hosting a slightly ambitious themed house party. If you want a Realtor who's living the true Austin lifestyle and understands the challenges of moving to a new city or state for work, let's connect!

How I Help

Wherever you are in the move, there's a plan for it.

From "I land in three weeks" to "we're not sure yet if we're renting or buying," here's how clients typically work with me.

01

Relocation Clients

Landing in Austin for a new role? I'll help build your plan before you fly in for a look: neighborhoods, commute, schools, and timing, matched to your offer letter and start date.

02

Rent First, Buy Later

I'll find the right rental to get you settled, help negotiate your lease, and then help you buy when the time is right.

03

First-Time Buyers

From pre-approval to closing, I'll walk you through every step, and stay a resource long after closing.

04

New Construction

Buying new has different rules and different leverage. I make sure the builder's sales rep isn't the only advocate sitting at the table.

05

Investors

Scaling a portfolio? With a background in investment real estate, I understand the ins and outs of fix-and-flip deals, off-market buying, and the strong negotiation that makes the numbers work.

06

Ongoing Local Support

Movers, inspectors, lenders, referrals, favorite coffee shops: I stay the local resource long after closing day.

Plan Your Move

How much house can I afford?

A quick, private estimate, not a pre-approval, so you know roughly what to expect before you talk to a lender.

Estimated affordability
$780,000
based on a 36% debt-to-income guideline
Est. monthly payment$4,930
Principal & interest$3,940
Est. property tax$1,235
Est. insurance$210
Est. down payment$156,000

This tool provides a simplified, illustrative estimate for planning purposes only. It is not a loan pre-approval, quote, or offer of credit, and actual affordability depends on your full credit profile, debts, and a lender's underwriting. Connect with a licensed mortgage lender for exact numbers.

The Process

What working together actually looks like.

Designed for people coordinating a home search around a new job, often from another state, sometimes from another timezone.

01

Discovery Call

Tell me about the offer, the timeline, and what matters most: schools, commute, walkability, a home office, room for the dog. Together, we'll decide if now is the right time to rent or buy.

02

Custom Home Search

A search built around your specific needs and priorities. I'll send you homes regularly, without being spammy to your inbox.

03

Financing Preparation

If you're buying, I'll connect you with lenders who understand relocation timelines, new-job income, and out-of-state situations.

04

Home Tours & Offer

I schedule and organize in-person or virtual showings when you're ready, followed by a data-backed offer and negotiation strategy.

05

Close & Settle In

From inspections, to re-negotiations, to keys-in-hand, I'm there every step of the way to ensure a smooth, fully informed process.
