Tera Dallas
GLOBAL REAL ESTATE ADVISOR
Born and raised in Austin, Tera is a second-generation native “Austinite” and has proudly watched her hometown grow into an amazing city in which to live and invest. Early in Tera’s professional life, she knew she wanted to sell homes! Tera was licensed in 1994 and is a member of the Austin Board of Realtors, Texas Association of Realtors, National Association of Realtors and Austin Luxury Network.
Tera is proud to maintain relationships and friendships with her clients. Most of her business is generously referred from past clients, the ultimate compliment, and she has helped many of her clients buy and sell multiple homes over the years.
Tera provides a full-service and client-centric approach to each transaction. She believes that client relationships and skillfully managing each transaction are of utmost importance. She feels it important to go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure her clients receive the customer service they deserve. Tera describes herself as an “over communicator ” and believes in keeping the lines of communication open with all parties during negotiations and throughout a transaction.
Tera is knowledgeable with most aspects of real estate including title insurance, singlefamily construction, mortgage products, zoning, condo regimes, and has been working as a design consultant on remodel projects all over Austin for the last 15 years. Through this business model, Tera not only assists her clients with the purchase or sale of their home, but also provides her clients design services and contractors to upgrade or improve the property, maximizing the return on their investment.
Tera believes positive professional relationships with other Austin Realtors provide a cohesive real estate transaction that ultimately is a win-win for the buyers and sellers. Tera is supported by a contract-to-close coordinator who handles the deadlines, coordination of details, and back-end communication between all parties. Tera partnered with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty to provide her clients a world-class brand behind her name and bring innovative growth, technology, and world-wide recognition and networking to her clients.
In her free time, Tera enjoys spending time with her family; husband Trevor, son Kade, daughter Coral, and dog Lola. If Tera is not in Austin, you can find her at a beach somewhere under a big beach hat with a home design magazine in her hand.

Hear from Tera's Clients
We truly felt the stars had aligned when we were introduced to Tera Dallas. Her extensive knowledge of the Austin market, coupled with her refreshing and approachable demeanor, made working with her an absolute delight. Tera exudes a candid, no-nonsense attitude, while simultaneously radiating warmth, kindness, and a terrific sense of humor. Our two-year-long journey in search of the perfect home was met with unwavering patience and meticulous attention to detail from Tera. She guided us through the entire process, ensuring that we found our dream home. We look forward to collaborating with Tera again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home in Austin. Trust us, Tera Dallas is the epitome of professionalism and dedication you'll want by your side.
Tera helped our family with our transition from out of state on so many levels that we didn't even know we needed. She was able to find us a great rental house in a very limited market when we first moved to Austin. Tera is so knowledgeable about the area, schools, and businesses that she made our initial transition very smooth. Then when we decided to buy, Tera found us an amazing property that our family is so excited to make our own. In fact, Tera is helping us through the next phase of renovating with her great design sense and depth of knowledge of the entire process. My family and I highly recommend Tera for her knowledge and ability but most importantly you can trust her through every step of the way to look out for you and help you through buying a home.
I'm so glad we found Tera! This is our 4th time buying and I've never had a realtor go so above and beyond. When I tell you I've peppered poor Tera with so many questions. Her patience, knowledge, experience, and patience are impressive. You can tell when someone really loves their job. Tera is one of those people; it's very refreshing. The first day we called Tera, we asked if she could show us 4 houses that same day because we were leaving town the very next day. She accommodated us. We were in a big hurry (mildly stressful) to buy and get moved into a new house before the start of school. Whenever I wavered along the way, she assured me "our house" was out there. She was right! We signed on to our new house 3 weeks after meeting Tera! Buying a house with her was so great that we decided to sell our previous home with Tera.
- CARI & ROB S., LAKEWAYI highly recommend Tera. She helped us with our transition from Arizona to Austin in so many ways. Not only does Tera know the Austin area as a native, but she also provided us with vendor contacts and recommendations that we would have never found without her. She helped with a temporary rental as well as finding our permanent home. Her love of what she does is evident in all the details.
- BETH & TOM C., LEANDER - KRISTIN & MICHAEL O., BARTON HILLS - SARAH & BRAD C., WESTLAKE HILLSTera doesn't just listen to what you want, she "tunes in" to what's important to you. She doesn't try to sell you a house, she works tirelessly to assist you in finding your "home." In our case, our home needed some upgrading and remodeling so Tera helped us select all the items we needed and set up each upgrade using high-quality service providers to do the work. Even now, a year after closing, Tera keeps in touch to see how we're doing and if we need any help from her or her providers.
- KENNETH & CUC M., LAKEWAY
I worked with Tera on three occasions. This last time was after my divorce and the first time I was buying a home on my own. Tera was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful, always available, and promptly responded to the million questions I bombarded her with to make sure I am comfortable with my decision. In addition to being a great Realtor, Tera has an eye for design. She went out of her way to assist me with the selections for my house as well as window coverings. I strongly recommend Tera to anyone looking for a great Realtor!
- GOGA B., MUELLER
We loved working with Tera and recommend her highly! She is an absolute professional-extremely knowledgeable about all of the neighborhoods in Austin, as well as about design and builds, and resale. She is very attentive to her client's needs, organized, thorough, and has fantastic support in every step, from initial consultation to search, negotiation, and close. Tera made it an enjoyable and easy process to find the house we love-- we even came in under budget, not easy to say in this market! We couldn't have asked for a better partner and experience.
- STEPHANIE S & JAMES D, NORTH AUSTIN
We have used Tera’s service as a realtor three times now. Twice when buying a home and once when selling. All of our experiences with her have been excellent. When we were looking to purchase a new home, Tera sent us listings daily and was even able to get us in to see a few properties before they were officially on the market. While viewing homes, Tera was thorough, pointing out things that were red flags or features that made a home more valuable. It was great working with an agent who so clearly wanted to make sure that we found the right house for us and not just looking to make a sale. When we were selling our house, Tera’s expertise and experience were crucial. She has a great eye for staging, as well as an amazing list of contacts, and was able to put us in touch with very skilled service people to re-paint our house and put in a new carpet. All of her hard work paid off because, within a week of listing it, we received an offer for the full asking price. I would highly recommend Tera to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the Austin area. Her dedication and skill as a realtor really can’t be matched!
