History

Established in 2010.

My interest in real estate began in 2010 when my parents decided to move to Texas from Chicago. Becoming a licensed real estate agent allowed me to help them find a new home in an official capacity. Soon after I had other family and friends ask if I could help them buy and sell their homes. Feedback from these transactions convinced me that I had a knack for getting my clients the best deals on buying homes and the most money when selling.

Meet the Business Owner

Eric P.

Business Owner

Texas has been home since 1999 when I first arrived in Austin for an internship at a local tech company. As many people do, I fell in love with the weather, people, and environment. I grew up in the Chicago area, so my sports loyalty still remains firmly with the Cubs, Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks.

My undergraduate degree is in Microelectronic Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. In 2009, I left my tech job and enrolled at Acton School of Business in downtown Austin to get a MBA. Cramming a MBA into 9 months was exciting and well worth the lack of sleep. Learned a great deal about the management and financial side of businesses.

Today, besides drumming up real estate business, I am working on a couple of other start-​up business ideas. Hobbies include golf, gardening, and motorcycles. Been a resident of Round Rock since 2004 and on the HOA Board of Directors of my neighborhood since 2011.
