A longtime Central Texan, Ben grew up in San Antonio and got his BA at Texas State University in San Marcos, however Austin has been his home since 2000. Having lived all over the city, Ben has firsthand experience in many of Austin's neighborhoods. He loves helping clients to find the right neighborhood for their lifestyle, with candid feedback about schools, commuting times/traffic, walkability, and projected area growth.
