Buy Below Market. Renovate. Build Instant Equity.
SUMMARY
Our client wanted a home in the coveted Bouldin Creek neighborhood of Austin. They found a beautiful, brand-new home that was in the right location and even featured architecture by vaunted local designers Dick Clark + Associates. The home had been on the market for some time and had already seen price reductions.

Rather than wait for the “perfect” home, they jumped on this opportunity knowing that with a little work, they could make this house their home. They are now all moved in, enjoying their new home, in the neighborhood they wanted, with the luxurious touches they wanted. All it took was a bit of vision.
