This Austin Realtor delivers her clients the perfect pairing

Kat Brooks began her career in quite a different field: fine wine. After spending several years helping people pair the ideal wines with their meals, Brooks relocated to Austin in 1999 and began pairing her clients with their dream homes.

Brooks takes a full-service approach to both the buying and selling processes, with the bonus of being a Certified International Property Specialist, an Accredited Buyer Representative, and a Certified Residential Specialist. Her expertise, kindness, flexibility, and true understanding of her clients' needs makes the experience effortless, and has resulted in hundreds of happy homeowners who have found a piece of the good life in Austin.

In addition to her career, Brooks finds great enjoyment in giving back to the community that has given her so much. She currently serves as a member of the Christopher Guild - Center for Child Protection Services and on the board of the Central Texas Water Coalition. She has also served on the boards for the Texas Hill Country Wine & Food Festival, Any Baby Can, and The Long Center for the Performing Arts.

We chatted with Brooks to find out more about her work and what drives her.
