SUSAN AVANT

Broker Associate COMPASS

With over thirty years of expertise in Austin’s exciting, competitive, ever-evolving housing market, Susan Avant is the best kind of ally and advocate for her clients.

She believes real estate is a bit like matchmaking, in that it’s not merely a business transaction. Susan has a unique talent for honing in on the emotional component of real estate.

This singular focus helps her keep her clients’ best interests at the heart of every transaction. She understands that real estate can be stressful on both sides of the transaction. Susan works tirelessly with a diverse spectrum of home buyers to find a perfect match, one that supports their lifestyle as well as their financial needs.

For sellers, Susan strives to find a delicate balance between finding that ideal buyer and also getting them the best market rate for their home.

Where are you from and how long have you lived in Austin?

I grew up southwest of Los Angeles in Palos Verdes Estates and moved to Texas in 1975 (long before it was cool) to go to SMU. We moved to Austin in 1988 to raise our two children.

Why Real Estate?

I’ve always been a problem solver and a connector of people. Finding the perfect match between a buyer and a seller and helping them take that next step in their journey is fun. If I can make the home selling or buying process less stressful and help my clients move on then I’ve done my job well. And as a bonus, I have made some lifelong friendships.

Tell us what you love must about Austin? Even though Austin is a large city, it still has that small-town vibe.

What skill do you think helps you the most in Real Estate?

My ability to listen and to read people. I can usually understand what the underlying desire is for them, even if it’s hard to vocalize.

When you and family go out, where do you go and why?

We love to try new restaurants, and go to sporting events.

What is your favorite quote?

It’s part of a longer quote from Einstein “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”

If you could jump on a plane and go anywhere, where would you go and why?

Anywhere with a beach. I grew up on the ocean and it’s my happy place.
