Track 01

## Hill Country relocation

For families and executives moving in from New York, California, Chicago, Houston, or Dallas — a guided introduction to Driftwood, Dripping Springs, Wimberley, Lake Travis, Bee Cave, and West Austin. We map lifestyle, commute, and school priorities to the right pocket of the Hill Country before you ever board a plane.

- • Personalized community tours (in-person or virtual)
- • School-district and feeder-pattern briefings
- • Trusted local network — lenders, inspectors, movers, contractors
- • Sight-unseen offer strategy when the timeline is short

Track 02

## Acreage & estate purchase

Buying land in the Hill Country is not the same as buying a subdivision home. Water, wells, septic, wildlife exemptions, easements, groundwater conservation districts, and view corridors all matter. We help you evaluate — and negotiate — with all of it in view.

- • Well, septic, and water availability review
- • Ag/wildlife exemption and tax basis guidance
- • Easement, ROW, and boundary due diligence
- • Custom-build lot vetting with trusted builders

Track 03

## Investment advisory

For buyers evaluating a property as an asset — short-term rental, long-term hold, 1031 exchange, or new-build spec — we build a clear-eyed model of returns, tax posture, and exit before you write an offer.

- • STR / LTR pro-formas with market-tested assumptions
- • 1031 exchange coordination with qualified intermediaries
- • New-build spec and lot-flip analysis
- • Portfolio-level Hill Country market briefings

Track 04

## Luxury & primary residence

For buyers acquiring their next primary home in the $1M–$10M range — Spanish Oaks, Barton Creek, Amarra, Escondera, Rough Hollow, Belterra, Highpointe, and the private acreage enclaves in between. Quiet access, CLHMS-level negotiation, and a search that respects your time.

- • Off-market and pre-market access via broker network
- • Coordinated private showings on your calendar
- • Appraisal-gap, financing, and terms strategy
- • Post-close concierge — trades, design, membership intros
