Believe it or not, a fast-growing Williamson County suburb could transform into a hipster haven that shares some of East Austin’s cultural DNA. A local housing expert believes Leander possesses all of the ingredients to evolve into the Austin metro area’s first “hipsturbia,” part of nationwide real estate trend.

Leander Named BOOMTOWN!
Bridget Brandt 2019-10-18T11:25:12-05:00We just love the release of these new numbers…give us a call if you want to learn more about Leander! 512-259-1907
Life in a boomtown has its perks. Growth brings opportunity.
We’re seeing that more than ever when it comes to housing. The Austin Board of Realtors released its latest housing numbers, and they show the median home price is now $320,000 – a 73% increase in the last 10 years.
We decided to look at the fastest growing ZIP codes in the area, and what we found is that families are increasingly choosing to live outside the Austin city limits.
“The hottest two areas right now are Cedar Park and Leander. The northwest sector of Austin,” said Susan Horton, a longtime Austin Realtor.

When you start a business, you want it to have a professional image. That means a proper address and phone number in an area that is well-respected.

With a virtual office, you can get the professional image your new business needs without having to lease or buy expensive office space. You can rest easy knowing that you don’t […]

How to overcome obstacles as a female entrepreneur
Office Chamber 2019-06-13T13:01:54-05:00Article by Bankrate
The number of women-owned businesses in the United States has seen huge growth. In fact, women are opening an average of 849 new businesses per day.
Women-owned businesses increased a dramatic 31 times over the past 46 years, according to the 2018 State of Women-Owned Businesses Report commissioned by American Express. Between 1972 and 2018, they’ve risen from 402,000 (4.6% of all firms) in 1972 to 12.3 million (40% of all firms) in 2018.

Who’s Running in Our Local Election?
Bridget Brandt 2019-04-24T15:34:42-05:00While the race for the White House and Congress often grips the nation, participation in – and even awareness of – our local elections has significantly declined in recent years.
Ironically, these local elections concern the offices and issues that have clear and immediate implications for voters in their day-to-day lives – arguably more so than federal contests. Such elections are not only for mayors and council positions, but also local judges, sheriffs, clerks, school board members and other officials. Local elections also include community issues that are put directly to voters – through various ballot measures and initiatives.
Bottom line: these are the elections that affect you the most. Your quality of life is on the ballot. Please vote in our upcoming […]
