REAL ESTATE AGENTS FRED MEYERS I discovered Austin in June 1980 when I worked for Warner Bros Records, who transferred me to Houston that year. I immediately fell in love with the vibrant city, for its natural beauty and college town vibe. I had the band, U2 play at a bar on 3rd and Congress, and I remember being in awe of this little town (and, of course of, U2). At a sound check with Bonnie Raitt in Houston, she told me to make sure I get out of the downtown area and, “just go west into where the Hill Country is.” I did and that’s when I truly really came to realize how incredible Austin is and the beauty of the Hill Country. I knew this is where I wanted to live and raise my family. I have been an Austinite since 1983, both of my children, Lauren Alex and Chase, were born here and now my two precious grandchildren, Crash and Halen, have also been born here. To this day I don’t admit to being a Texan, but I will tell you with pleasure, that I am an Austinite. Austin is by far the best town in Texas and even with all my travels, by far ranks one of my favorite places to live, work and play. I have been in real estate since 2000 after leaving the music business and I have watched this town grow and become a pivotal place for dining, shopping, hiking, boating and most any outdoor sport you can imagine. Austin’s jewels are Barton Springs one of North America’s largest natural limestone Spring fed pools, Town Lake’s Hike & Bike trail that circles Lady Bird Lake in the city, the ever-growing food scene, and the F1 race track that has become more than just international racing. I have been successful in real estate and have surpassed $200 million in sales. I have enjoyed being involved with some of the world’s leading movie and recording stars and have helped them to get acquainted with what Austin has to offer, and that is what I would love to do for you. In 2015 I was awared as Volunteer of the Year for Membership Development by the Austin Chamber of Commers I love this town and want to show you why I coined the phrase “love Austin like we do” when I owned the Austin City Living real estate firm. Now with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty I am ready to serve you.

REAL ESTATE AGENT AMY KNIGHT Texas born and Texas raised....I am a Texas girl. Growing up as a Texan has been a true gift. Austin is my favorite Texas town and it is like nowhere else. With its downtown full of life, its local watering holes like Barton Springs, Lake Austin and Lake Travis and non-stop entertainment for every age, there is always something fun to do in Austin. If you are bored in Austin, it is your own fault! I was born in San Antonio but I was raised all over Texas. I have lived in the Houston area, to include Katy, Huffman, and Pasadena… then off to East Texas to a little town called Center, near Nacogdoches. A few years later my family moved me back to San Antonio where I graduated High School at MacArthur High. Once I graduated, I moved to Dallas and enjoyed a few years modeling. When it was time to raise my two beautiful daughters I moved back to Austin as quickly as possible. I knew Austin was where my kids would be allowed the
Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty 524 N Lamar Blvd, Suite 204
opportunity to grow up in a big city with a home-town feel. There truly is no
Austin, TX 78703
place like Austin. It is a city full of culture, live music, bats and UT’s beloved Bevo!! Where else can you possible find all that! I’ve been all over Texas and Austin is a way of life like no other. I have been selling real estate since 2007 and I absolutely love what I do!! Helping people find the home of their dreams is an adventure I truly enjoy. I have dedicated my career to creating lifelong relationships with people who start as clients and end as friends. If you want a friend who has the knowledge, experience, proven history, energy and desire to find your home, call me. I would love to join you on your search.

A SHARED VISION
Exper ts in Austin, San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and Around the World
Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty was formed in 1972 under the strong leadership of Charles Kuper, Jr. and his family. A new strategic par tnership was formed in 2012 when Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty merged our San Antonio brokerage with Capital City Sotheby’s International Realty, the local Austin affiliate owned by Doug & Mary Land and Jonathan Creath. In 2014, Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty and Capital City Sotheby’s International Realty merged with Amelia Bullock Realtors in Austin. Founded in 1969 by Amelia Bullock and Barbara Wallace, the company has a strong history of providing service with quality, value and integrity to everyone. Together, the three brokerages have unified ourselves under the Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty brand. This, combined with our relationship with the premier Sotheby’s International Realty brand, affirms our commitment toward providing you a superior level of service, marketing and exper tise in San Antonio, Austin, and around the world.

OUR JOURNEY The Unique Difference
Kuper Realty Corporation was founded in 1972 as a commercial brokerage and later expanded our services to include residential real estate, specializing in the upscale market. In 1980 the company became a Sotheby’s affiliate, thus becoming Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty. In 2003, Capital City Sotheby’s International Realty was launched to fill the need for a brokerage that offered personalized service, long-term relationships, plus had a truly international marketing reach. A new strategic par tnership was formed in 2012 when Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty merged our San Antonio brokerage with the local Austin affiliate. When Amelia Bullock founded her company in 1969 she made a very clear decision to create a different kind of Real Estate Company. Together with Barbara Wallace, they focused on delivering something different, something better than a transaction. In 2014, the three unique and successful brokerages came together under the Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty brand, owned and operated by J Kuper, in keeping with the Kuper family real estate tradition and reputation.
