Brande spent the first 21 years of her career in software sales for Austin and San Francisco based tech companies. In 2020, while still working at a demanding full-time job, she took her entrepreneurial spirit in a new direction and bought her first residential property with plans to renovate and resell. Having always been fascinated by real estate, she knew she needed to start somewhere. That first project was trial by fire and more complex than imagined. Not only had COVID hit one month after she closed on the house, but there were underlying issues throughout the entire property. A global pandemic coupled with major project challenges did not dissuade Brande. She’s always chosen to see the silver linings in a challenging situation, so she confronted it all head-on and learned as much as she could in those six months. Brande eventually left the corporate world, and three years later has completed eight successful residential rehabs across Austin. Funny enough, she has found her niche to be in complex projects similar to that first one she ever took on.

In early 2023, Brande realized only one thing was missing. She missed the people, the daily social interactions and helping clients achieve their goals. Combining her extensive client-facing background with her firsthand knowledge of the Austin real estate business, Brande brings her two passions together to be a trusted advisor for both buyers and sellers.

Brande serves on the fundraising board for Hospice Austin, an organization she is very passionate about, having lost her father in hospice care in 2019. She is married with two fabulous bonus children and two precious fur babies. When she and her husband are not working or on the tennis courts, they enjoy socializing with friends and cooking/hanging out at home with friends and family.
