Relocating family (one child), referred by a family member · Lake Pointe, Bee Cave
Seattle to Lake Pointe: a remote relocation that closed on the job-transfer timeline
- The situation
- A family moving from Seattle for a tech job transfer had a fixed start date, little time to visit, and a city they had not lived in. They wanted to be close to family in a neighborhood that felt like a community, where their son could ride his bike and make friends quickly.
- The approach
- Cynthia ran the search remotely and matched the family to a community before showing homes, comparing Lake Travis-area neighborhoods against what they said mattered: a welcoming community and everyday convenience. Lake Pointe came out on top. She also personally knew three of the family’s direct neighbors.
- The outcome
- The family closed in June 2026 on the timeline the job transfer required, about one month from first call to contract.

Sellers, referred by a past client · Terra Colinas, Bee Cave
Terra Colinas: a sale that recovered after the first buyer walked away
- The situation
- The home was listed in May at $630,000 and drew an over-asking offer in the first week. The buyer then backed out even though the inspection came back clean, followed by months of showings and no offers.
- The approach
- Cynthia relisted immediately, took every piece of showing feedback straight to the sellers with a plain read on what it meant, and in July recommended repositioning the list price to $600,000 based on what the market was telling them. She coordinated her handyman for repairs and connected the sellers with contacts for their transition.
- The outcome
- The home went back under contract with a buyer who was excellent to work with and closed on September 16. At closing the sellers talked about the communication, not the offer that fell through.
- Original list price (May)
- $630,000
- Repositioned list price (July)
- $600,000
- Closed
- September 16

A first-time seller in Bee Cave, referred by a friend
- The situation
- First-time sellers were unsure which updates would raise offers, how to find and schedule trustworthy tradespeople on a tight timeline, and how to position the home against nearby developments.
- The approach
- Cynthia built a pre-listing roadmap around high-return refinements (neutral interior paint, targeted light-fixture swaps, curb appeal) rather than an overhaul, coordinated her vetted trade network of painters, handymen, window washers and stagers on the sellers’ behalf, then priced from micro-neighborhood sales data and marketed to West Austin buyers.
- The outcome
- Pre-listing preparation was finished in under two weeks, and the home secured an offer and moved to pending with minimal friction. The source post does not state a price or days on market.
- Pre-listing preparation
- Under two weeks
