One of my absolute favorite real estate friends passed away yesterday morning.  To put it mildly, Liz Carter was a force in our industry, and I was privileged to get to know her starting in 2007, when we became friends through our interactions right here on AR.  She attended my birthday party a f...

However, many have decried the city's "weird" reputation as being centered only in the downtown and south areas. This is not the case. There are a lot of great and ...

Construction cranes are often an indicator of a city undergowing a growth spurt. Last weekend in downtown Austin, TWELVE construction cranes were visibly in use in the 11-block area between 12th Street and Cesar Chavez.    As Austin continues its explosive growth pattern from the past couple of y...
