About Me

I am licensed to do business in the State of Texas and can help with your Residential, Farm & Ranch, and Commercial & Investment Real Estate needs.  I am a 4th generation Native Texan on 3 sides and know this "country" well.  My family came to the Austin Area by 1871, so my roots in Austin Real Estate run deep.  My Grandfather, OW Sandstrom, a UT educated attorney, was a partner with David Gracy at the first and oldest title company in Central Texas, Gracy Title.    

Whether you need a house, condo or duplex for yourself or family, a Ranch or acreage to enjoy or commercial property to buy- call me today!  I work all in and around the entire Austin metroplex area- Leander, Liberty Hill, Bertram, Burnet, Oatmeal, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Georgetown, incl. Sun City; Jarrell, Andice, Ding Dong, Florence, Jonestown, Lago Vista, Kingsland, Lake LBJ, Marble Falls; Buda, Driftwood, Wimberley; Manor, Elgin, Taylor, Lund, New Sweden, Bastrop, Sunset Valley, Westlake.  I love my state and have sold in other areas as well including the Coastal Bend (Corpus Christi, Rockport, Aransas Pass) Area and Brownwood in Brown County.

Sellers: I have had special marketing training such as from the nationally known firm of Hobbs Herder as well as being a graduate of both of Floyd Wickman’s advanced sales programs.  My degree in Psychology (presented “with HONORS”), Master’s level training in Counseling as well as my years of experience make me a skillful negotiator and marketer.  I also hold the GRI- Graduate REALTOR® Institute as well as a Senior Real Estate Specialist, SRES®, designations.  All this special training has made it possible for me to specialize in getting my clients the most money for their property, with the least hassle in the least amount of time.  My track record shows that an above average portion of my residential properties sell in much less than average marketing time and for more than list price.  I provide superior, personalized service. I have the time and expertise to get results!  Please call me if that’s what you need!

Buyers:  Whether you are a first time homebuyer and need to learn the ropes or an experienced, multi property buyer that simply wants to learn about the area as I locate properties- I can help you.  I am a member of several commercial search sites as well.  Texas abounds with great investment opportunities.  For example- Self storage is a great investment- let me help you.

PERSONAL:  I am Commissioner Place 6 on the Planning and Zoning Commission in Leander, TX- a service to the community I perform.  Although an unpaid position, I hope to see the City of Leander grown into a wonderfully planned community all can enjoy!  My son attends Vista Ridge in Leander ISD.  My husband works at 3M Company (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing).  I am a member of the Austin Scandinavean Club, the Austin Pond Society and Gaitkeepers- a gated riding club.  Coming from ranching & farming; I love wildflowers, horses & other livestock.  I have owned many horses, the latest of which is currently serving at Equibloom Therapeutic Riding in Manor.  I owned him since he was 6 years old in 1978.  I love to ride the trails at Parrie Haynes and other places.        

Testimonials: 

"After thoroughly guiding my daughter through the intricacies of buying a house, Betty then sold my house. Her energy was amazing as she went way above and beyond the call of duty, even rolling up her sleeves and grooming the out-of-doors. Her professional model presentation of my house made me want to buy it! She kept herself available to me at all times, and I had the peace of mind of being able to trust her integrity, knowledge and instincts. I recommend Betty with the utmost enthusiasm! ~ Sondra Kay Neiman
