Years of experience together help these 2 Austin Realtors deliver

Known for their full-service approach, the dynamic duo of Lisa Sexton and Susan Doyle possesses an in-depth understanding of the real estate industry, along with attentive service and exceptional credentials. Their steady and successful track record is attributed in large part to the positive relationships they form with buyers, sellers, and fellow industry professionals.

Specializing in, but not limited to, the Barton Creek development, Sexton and Doyle have a combined 36 years of experience — they are consistently the top sales team in the area.

In addition, the duo has been acknowledged by the Austin Business Journal as a Top Team of Two. They are also Platinum Top 50 winners, current members of The Luxury League of Austin, and have been part of Austin’s Elite 25 multiple years in a row.

They both hold several designations, including Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, Certified Negotiation Expert, and Council of Residential Specialists.

We chatted with Doyle and Sexton to find out more about their work and what drives them.

CultureMap: What inspires you to do what you do?

Lisa Sexton: My family. My husband is in construction, my father was in the construction industry, and so was his father. I love watching the entire homebuilding process — I find it fascinating. I also grew up going to open houses on weekends; my parents loved looking at homes, and they still do.

Susan Doyle: I love what I do — it’s a family tradition. I have a long history of real estate in my family. My grandfather graduated from Palm School here in Austin and began his career after World War II in real estate, developing subdivisions in Austin. My parents continued in the business, along with my brothers. It’s my passion. I love real estate and I enjoy helping people!

CM: What’s one piece of advice you’d give to people looking for their dream home?

LS: Be flexible and open to new ideas. You may not get everything on your wish list, but there also may be things on your wish list that you didn't even know you wanted!

SD: Create a wish list and really think about how you want to live in your home. This will really help you and your Realtor in the search process.

CM: And advice to those who are selling?

LS: Remember your audience: Who are you selling to? If you are selling a $200,000 home you will have a larger audience (and more showings) than if you are selling a $5,000,000 home.

SD: Become educated about the current market in your neighborhood and do not overprice your home. Overpricing can come back to bite you later and could potentially bring you less money in the end.

CM: Sum up Austin in three words.

LS: Friendly, young and vibrant.

SD: Happy, energetic, growing.

CM: What's one thing people might not know about you?

LS: I have lots of kids! But I am lucky in the fact that my mother-in-law lives with us and helps out with the kids, and my parents also live nearby for backup.

SD: I am a fourth-generation Austinite.
