I moved to Austin at the age of ten and never left. I grew up near the Lake Travis area and am proud to call Austin my home. I began my career in real estate after my wife and I purchased our first home together. After that first transaction, I realized that I have a passion for real estate, and most notably, negotiating.
Seven years after getting my real estate license, I had the honor of opening and becoming part owner in the Lake Travis Market Center of Keller Williams Realty. We grew that office from a team of 5 to over 300 agents and growing. It is rewarding to work with so many talented agents and systematically infuse successful processes into each others operations. I used that experience to hand-pick a select group of people to start the Gene Arant Team.
After twenty years of business, we have recently opened The Real Estate Welcome Center to help you, our client, with every aspect of your real estate decisions. Although our offices and team continue to grow, our founding principles and mission statement remain the same – Clients 1st!
I am really proud of the team we have built. We work diligently to earn your trust and in return, your business. It has been an honor for us to rank #1 in sales (Austin Business Journal) for four consecutive years – 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 – and affirms our belief in our client-centric approach to real estate. This team is built on the same philosophy I adhere to in life – a belief that to grow, you must give back to everyone around you – your family, your business, your community.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the Gene Arant Team, we are honored to be a part of your real estate decision

Learning through trial and error as a new realtor has been the pathway to knowledge I now utilize to create a higher level of service to my clients. Included in experience is negotiation; to get you the best price. This requires strategy which few realtors take talent. I am aware of the game. Legalities. This ties in with experience. You deserve a real estate transaction free of lawsuits, potential issues with the property, and loss of funds. I will ensure that you have a hassle-free transaction. Communication. This is one of the most important aspects of a real estate relationship with my client. Regardless of news or information that I am required to pass along to my clients, I will still call to keep in touch – Just because.
