Live Closer. Commute Smarter.
Love Where You Land.
Austin-area homes for Southwest Airlines crew, found by an agent who actually knows the market.
You don't have a traditional 9-to-5, and your housing situation can't be either.
You're navigating reserve schedules, commute windows to AUS, and a real estate market that moves fast — sometimes faster than your next pairing. You need a home base that actually works for your life: close enough to the airport to make early sign-ins manageable, affordable enough that a slow month doesn't hurt, and in a neighborhood you're genuinely happy to come home to.
I specialize in helping Southwest crew members find exactly that. I know the routes, I know the commute times, and I know which neighborhoods are quietly becoming the smartest moves in the Austin metro right now.
You do enough mental math on the job. Let me make this part easy.
Your commute window is non-negotiable.
Being 10 minutes late to a shift isn't an option. We map every neighborhood against realistic drive times to the terminal — not Google Maps' best-case scenario.
Buying a home near AUS isn't like buying just anywhere in Austin.
Low-maintenance matters more than square footage.
When you're on a 4-day rotation, you don't want a lawn that needs weekly attention or a house that demands constant upkeep. We focus on homes that take care of themselves while you're gone.
We work around your schedule, not ours.
Virtual tours, digital docs, and decisions made from wherever you are. We've closed deals for buyers who were in a hotel in Phoenix when they signed.
Kyle/Buda
Your dollar stretches further down here, and you're still only 20–30 minutes from Austin HQ on a good day. New construction is everywhere, which means you can actually get the space and the finishes without the bidding war. This is where a lot of people land when they realize what their budget can actually buy outside the city limits.
The Neighborhoods We Look at First
Bastrop and Del Valle
About 30 miles east of the city, Bastrop gives you a real small-town feel with a surprisingly charming downtown — and prices that'll make your eyes water in the best way. The commute is doable, especially on reserve or a schedule with flexibility built in. If you want land, a slower pace, and room to breathe, this one's worth a serious look.
South and Southeast Austin
If you want to be close to the action without paying Central Austin prices, South and Southeast Austin is your sweet spot. You're a straight shot up 35 or 183 to the airport, and the neighborhood has genuine personality — local restaurants, live music, and people who actually talk to their neighbors. It's Austin the way Austin used to feel.
Manor
Manor is one of the most affordable options in the Austin metro, and it's growing fast — in a good way. You're northeast of the city, which keeps you out of the worst traffic corridors, and the drive to Austin HQ is manageable. Early mover energy here: get in now before the rest of Austin figures it out.
Why Work With Liz
Real estate agents love to talk. I'd rather just help you find the right home.
I'm Liz Warren, an Austin-based buyer's agent with years of experience helping relocating clients land in the right spot, not just any spot. I've worked with people moving from all over the country who needed someone who actually knows this market, asks the right questions, and tells them the truth.
Austin is a big metro with a lot of moving pieces. I know the neighborhoods, the commute realities, the school districts, the hidden gems, and the areas that look good on paper but don't quite deliver. That knowledge is what I bring to every client I work with.
My job isn't to close a deal, it's to make sure you and your family end up somewhere you genuinely love coming home to. I'll give you honest guidance, realistic expectations, and my full attention from first conversation to closing day.
No pressure. No scripts. Just someone who knows Austin well and is genuinely invested in getting it right for you.
