REALTOR®

Get To Know Me

After representing the auto manufacturer Oldsmobile with promotions involving co-piloting a hot air balloon throughout the U.S. for 4 years, Larry decided it was finally time to settle down, get married, and start a family. Seeing he had visited 45 of the 50 states, he could have chosen any town or city in America to start his family but chose Austin over all others. The reason? Austin had, and still has, a great vibe, high energy, a prodigious growing economy, which all was paramount in his decision.

Starting off working at a local radio station, his knowledge of the Austin area grew. He met many fascinating people and really learned to enjoy the Austin culture with his wife, Lisa. That enjoyment brought happy times and two daughters; Taylor and Lauren. Once his family had officially started, they needed more room than an apartment could deliver, so they decided to build a home with a local builder.

Larry took to the building process with a passion, from learning the intricacies of proper, correct construction standards, to quality control, all the way to serious negotiation. This passion sparked his interest in real estate and the building process so much he asked one of his radio station clients, a homebuilder if he needed any help. His client accepted Larry's offer and took him under his wing for the next 18 years. During those years, he didn't just sit idle. He grew from a 'wet behind the ears' sales agent to the Vice President of Sales and Marketing, managing a sales force of 27 agents, 18 communities, and everyday marketing and promotions. All this experience had fortified his knowledge in Real Estate; how to price, promote, sell, negotiate, close the transaction, and provide service far beyond the closing. Utilizing his numerous years of experience, he has helped over 1,200 families buy or sell a home confidently, comfortably, and successfully.

Though he hasn't flown a hot air balloon since his second daughter was born, he continues to rise above the horizon, offering stellar service to his clients who've become new-found friends.
