About us
I'm an investor-focused agent in Ohio specializing in finding 1-4 unit properties. We use technology and systems to make the buying process simple by automating time-consuming tasks. I focus on buy and hold investments, including house hacking and the BRRR method. I graduated from Ohio University with a degree in Business Economics and a minor in Entrepreneurship. After college, I worked as a Senior Mortgage Advisor at Lower.com. I became a real estate agent after studying the financial freedom real estate investing can provide.

I was connected to Austin through an agent search on BiggerPockets, and I'm so grateful I was able to work with him! I live in California and was interested in purchasing a second investment property in Ohio. Shortly after we were connected, I explained that I wasn't quite ready to buy yet, but I would be looking to move forward in a few months. Austin was very understanding, and he began regularly sending new listings for me to review. When we were ready to buy, we reconnected with Austin to give an update on the types of property we were interested in and Austin was a great teammate. He provided useful resources including a guide to various Ohio neighborhoods, a rolodex of helpful contacts, and expertise about the market. As we narrowed our focus to some specific properties, Austin was a great sounding board. I would share properties I was considering and Austin would provide his thoughts, local rents, and recent sales data.
Once we picked the property we wanted to move on, Austin was key to getting things done. He communicated effectively with the selling agent and helped us put in a competitive offer. While there were higher offers than ours, Austin structured ours in such a way that ours was accepted! Austin then helped us coordinate the next steps with the property inspector, regularly making himself available for calls and quickly responding to texts whenever we had any questions. With his guidance, we were able to request and obtain a decrease in the selling price based on the results of the inspection. He regularly provided timely updates to us and ensured everything moved forward without any issues. Austin was an effective go-between, helping coordinate the closing and next steps with the selling agent, title company, and property manager.
We had a terrific experience working with Austin and highly recommend him. We look forward to working with him on future deals!

Austin is the perfect agent for the out of state investor like myself. He went above in beyond sending deals, communicating clearly, and providing his own advice based on his knowledge of Ohio. He helped me build my team and I cannot wait to continue working with him the future! 10/10!

Austin is an extremely patient and dedicated realtor, and one of the best team members to have in your real estate investing corner. He provided comprehensive info and strategic insight about top Ohio investment areas to help me decide on where to purchase based on my personal goals. I was looking for my first investment property, and Austin paired me up with a consistent flow of properties that fit my criteria in addition to a network other adjacent pros (contractors, lenders, PMs) upon request to continue to build my investment team. He is very responsive and didn't hesitate to jump on a call if I had a question or concern anytime. I closed on my first investment property last week and am so grateful!

I had a fantastic experience working with Austin in finding my first OOS investment property. He is proactive in finding excellent property deals, consistently shared comp reports, and stayed engaged throughout the entire process. His reports and write-ups were insightful, and provided a clear overview of each property’s potential. His commitment to follow-up made my purchase easy. He has a list of contacts for every need in the real estate world. Highly recommended for his professionalism and dedication. I'll continue working with Austin in closing many more deals!

Austin was awesome. As an out of state investor, I really relied on his local area expertise and referrals. His processes are super streamlined and he was knowledgeable about the investment strategies I wanted to implement (MFH house hack/MTR). I would highly recommend him to another investor.

I had an incredible experience working with Austin. I was a new investor carefully treading the water and found Austin through the Biggerpockets realtor search tool. Austin had been very patient with me throughout. His caring and positive attitude was what drew me to work with him after talking to 3 other realtors. Austin specializes in working with out-of-state investors. I put in maybe 4 to 5 offers before I closed on a property. He went the extra mile in suggesting what he would do at every step if it was him and recommended a lot of contacts who actually turned out to be very good sources. He is a hard worker and has a go-get-it attitude. Whether it's from initial follow-up to get me engaged or following up with me to see if my search criteria have changed to motivating me to send the right offers to closing and supporting me with questions after the closing, it was all in all a very positive experience. Looking forward to working on my next investment with him! Highly recommend him to any new or experienced out-of-state investors.

Austin was everything I was looking for in a real estate agent. He was a pleasure to work with and helped me find and purchase my first investment property from out of state — and quickly too. We were under contract merely weeks after our first call.
During the entire process, Austin was a skilled advocate for my interests. He worked hard to get me a great deal and provided valuable guidance, making the process as smooth as possible. He was also able to connect me with professionals in the area which has been incredibly helpful for someone who is not local.
I am grateful for his help and am looking forward to more deals together.
