About Jen

Twenty years ago Austin was not what it is today; our little city has grown and evolved, and in Jen’s words, "Austin just keeps getting better". Jen is actively engaged in Austin’s thriving design community and tech scene, from which she has been realized as a valuable resource when it comes to buying and selling real estate.

Having served as a REALTOR in Austin for over 18 years, Jen exemplifies what you look for in a top Austin Real Estate Agent: client advocacy, white-glove customer service, keen insights into the market, honed negotiating skills and marketing prowess. Jen’s life-long passion for real estate and home design is what she's known for, not to mention the successful residential home builds she's developed and sold.

Jen is the sole principal of Graf Residential and believes working beside the top real estate agents at Compass elevates her brand and helps her deliver the best client experience possible. She describes Compass as the perfect convergence of Real Estate, Marketing and Technology.

Born and raised in Texas, Jen studied Design in Minneapolis before making her way back to Austin in 2001. She has held executive-level positions at several well-known design firms and was VP of Product Design at Spredfast, the leading social media marketing software as a service platform. The extensive professional design and marketing experience Jen received has only added to her abilities as a REALTOR when it comes to marketing and selling what is possibly one's most important financial asset.

A self-described ambassador for the Austin lifestyle, Jen believes the fabric of our city is made up of all the amazing people and unique businesses that have made Austin what it is today. Jen will go out of her way to bring people together and help make connections across her network of clients, colleagues and friends. She's an advocate for the queer (LGBTQ) community and aspires to see Austin continue to be a welcoming, accepting city that elevates and protects diversity.

In her 23 years living in Austin, Jen has lived in Travis Heights, Westlake, Allandale, and East Austin. Jen is currently a proud resident of the Cherrywood neighborhood and would welcome the opportunity to show you why she's put down roots in East Austin.

Client Testimonials

" Jennifer is an all around amazing realtor! We hired her to help us with two things: 1) to sell our house and 2) to buy or build. We were new at all of those things so we needed someone who was willing to go the extra mile and help us each step of the way. Jennifer was incredible! She was very informative about how to stage and prepare our house for the buyers and also receive the selling price we wanted. Our house sold in 8 hours for a higher asking price than the surrounding comps. She helped us with our decision to build our next home, which was a bit scary, but she confidently walked us through the process from beginning to end. She has an eye for design, layout and what will make your life easier so we gladly took her advice. We highly recommend using her in any and all capacities when selling, buying or building a house. " - Buster & Kelli Jetter

"We had the pleasure of working with Jen Graf in early 2020 to find and purchase our first home. From our initial meeting, what had been a very stressful process became an exciting one. We immediately knew that Jen genuinely cared about us and valued our opinions, needs, and limitations regarding our future home purchase. Jen's wealth of knowledge about the Austin area led to the curation of a short list of neighborhoods within our price range. She helped us devise an efficient plan for visiting homes and worked off of our schedule to take us to see the listings in which we were interested. She never pressured us toward a decision or asked us to view homes outside our price range. She was also honest and direct with us when we asked for her opinion. This was most important during the inspection and negotiation process, once we decided on making an offer.

We ended up purchasing a home during a difficult time. It was the beginning of the COVID-19 quarantine, and on top of that, we were out of town. Jen navigated this difficult scenario expertly, and we never had remorse about any decision we made. We feel so lucky to have gotten to work with Jen throughout this process. We strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an efficient, stress-free home search in Austin. We can't wait to have her over for dinner in our new home once the world returns to normal." - David Walker and Ellen Cox

" Jen stewarded us through our home buying process in East Austin. I am honestly not certain how anyone would go through a home closing without Jen. She's that good. Jen led us through every intricate detail of contract legalese and processes, made herself readily available for any questions we had --- small, large, and however silly they may have been, and mentored us through the negotiation process as it became a bidding exchange. She's highly knowledgeable about the Austin marketplace, extremely professional, and working with her was truly a delight. Thank you, Jen! " - Donna Lagow
