Realtor in Lakeway, Texas

I’m Cynthia Mattiza, an Associate Broker with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty, and I help sellers and buyers in Lakeway, including Rough Hollow, The Hills of Lakeway and Serene Hills. Lakeway is a resort community on the south shore of Lake Travis, and I work it as a specialist rather than as one market among many.

What do Lakeway sellers need from a listing agent?

A launch that sells the lifestyle as well as the house. Lakeway buyers are choosing a resort-style setting, so presentation should show how the home lives: the light, the outdoor rooms, the connection to golf, trails or the water. The City of Lakeway itself describes golf courses, tennis courts, marinas, a private airport, a full-service hotel and spa, and parkland and trails, and buyers arrive with those expectations.

  • Preparation: a buyer-eyed walk-through, high-return refinements and my vetted trade network so you are not managing vendors.
  • Pricing: from closed sales and the specific enclave, not a Lakeway average. See how I price and launch.
  • Timing: planning for the first two weeks on the market, when your leverage is highest.

For a step-by-step prep list specific to Lakeway homes, my main site has a post on preparing your Lakeway home for sale.

What do Lakeway buyers ask me?

Usually four things: which community, how the commute really works, which school campus, and how they get on the lake.

  • Which community? Many people moving to the Bee Cave and Lakeway area start in Rough Hollow because it is the one they have heard of. I help you compare it with The Hills of Lakeway, Serene Hills and others against how you want to live.
  • The commute: the City of Lakeway places it about 25 miles west of downtown Austin. I recommend driving your route at the hours you will travel.
  • Schools: Lakeway is served by Lake Travis ISD, whose elementary campuses include Lakeway, Rough Hollow and Serene Hills. Zoning follows the address and can differ between nearby streets, so I check it before you fall in love with a house.
  • Lake access: direct waterfront, community marina access and lake views are different things with different costs and rules. My waterfront guide lists what to verify.

What are my ties to Lakeway?

Lakeway is one of the handful of communities where my whole business is concentrated, alongside my home base of Bee Cave. I share what daily life around it is like in my videos, from a walk through Lakeway City Park to tours of homes in Rough Hollow and Serene Hills, and I have worked with clients relocating here from other states.

Client stories

Corporate-relocation buyers, referred by another Sotheby’s International Realty agent · Costa Bella, near Lakeway (78734)

A corporate relocation that chose lifestyle over the shortest commute

The situation
The buyers needed to commute to downtown Austin but did not want the commute to define the search. They wanted a gated, private neighborhood with Lake Travis or Hill Country views, resort-style amenities and access to boating and the outdoors.
The approach
Cynthia compared communities across the Lake Travis area against how the buyers wanted to live, then walked them through the trade-off: a longer, traffic-dependent commute in exchange for privacy, scenery and the feeling of coming home to a destination.
The outcome
They chose Costa Bella, a private gated waterfront community near Lakeway.
