"Austin was extremely helpful and attentive to my taste and needs in searching for homes. He also uncovered some gems in towns I didn't know I could afford. Any information I was searching for regarding selling my home he was able to point me in the proper direction and created a great sense of ease with the process..” - Xavier | Seller ★★★★★
"Not only is Austin very well versed in the West Los Angeles area, but he’ll accommodate you wherever you’re looking! I was in the market for a new rental that allows pets, which we all know is almost impossible these days, but Austin was able to find me the perfect property in Thousand Oaks at the right price that not only accommodates my needs, but my animals also. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Austin to represent your experience whether you’re buying, leasing, or selling. He certainly knows his business and Southern California very well!.” - Colin | Tenant ★★★★★

An avid history buff, he loves to pore over the Santa Monica Public Library’s image archive and scout for local historical locations and landmarks. Though there’s nowhere he’d rather call home than L.A.’s Westside, his travels have taken him as far as Bali, Indonesia and Zanzibar, Tanzania.
