About Tory

Texas Roots

Born in Houston, I'm a Texan through-and-through. Though I frequently moved as a child, a constant was my grandparents’ beloved cabin on Lake Travis. Two decades ago, after graduating form the University of Colorado Boulder with a Bachelor of Science in marketing, I relocated to Austin, finally coming "home".

Driven to Success

Before I became a real estate agent, I had a 15+ year career in marketing, most recently at a company that specialized in email marketing for Fortune 100 clients. As the email strategy director, I developed data-driven plans to grow consumer brands like CVS, Bed Bath & Beyond, Dell, and Ralph Lauren.

This experience has given me a rare understanding of marketing strategies and a keen instinct for showcasing properties to attract ideal buyers. I'm passionate about facilitating real estate transactions with swiftness and integrity for all parties involved.

I have confidence working with luxury homes and high-end clients, which I attribute to my unique professional experience. My clients appreciate my personable, no-nonsense, hands-on approach that I bring to every interaction. Real estate is a people-centric business, and I enjoy forging solid personal connections. While relationships are my focus I am also a talented organizer and multi-tasker, handling a plethora of tasks seamlessly behind the scenes. 

All About the Details

I'm proud that I've been able to carve out a space as an up-and-coming Central Texas real estate leader in just five years. Details are everything, and I pride myself on being meticulous and accurate. I believe in arming my clients with all the information they need to succeed, with honesty and transparency.

My favorite thing about being a realtor is finding the perfect properties that encompass everything my clients want. I go above and beyond to ensure this happens, frequently finding off-market properties that my clients would not have been able to find. Out of the nearly $15M I sold last year, 75% of those sales were off-market. 

I work with all types of clients, but I especially connect with those who choose to relocate to Austin from out of state. I have a knack for bringing Austin to life for newcomers, and I understand how important it is to find a neighborhood in which my clients can thrive in.

Community Connection

My love for Central Texas area shines through in everything I do. Not only am I drawn to Austin’s sunshine, green space, and water, but I also deeply connect with community culture full of home-grown businesses, eclectic shops, and impeccable cuisine. I see every interaction as a chance to develop a friendship and improve our community.

I am a passionate volunteer for my children's' schools, having formerly served as Booster Club President of Bridge Point Elementary (BPE) and Fundraising Chair and President of Casner Christian Academy. As a board member for BPE, I am proud to play a small part in the EANES vibrant community of educators, administrators, and parents.

The connections I have made through my involvement in the community have been invaluable. One benefit is that I learn of the hottest up-and-coming properties before they are officially on the market. My network enables me to be one step ahead and I love that I can share this with my clients.

Outside of the real estate world, I'm a devoted mom, avid traveler, outdoors-woman, and an active member in the community. My husband James and I are the proud parents of two beautiful children, Jake and Carlisle. 

We love our active lifestyle, spending a lot of our time enjoying Lake Travis. When it’s time to get away, we spend family time in Colorado where I lived in high school and college, or we find a beautiful beach to lounge on and soak up the sun!
