Abbe Waldman can be reached at (512) 736-5802. I have sold homes, condos, townhomes, land, and lake properties since 1983. I also have experience with remodeling and building homes.
I have been living in Austin, Texas since 1978. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and attended college in California where I obtained a 2 year Associates degree from Palomar Junior College. I became a full time licensed real estate agent in 1983.
At the time I became licenced there were approximately 1,000 real estate agents in the Austin area. At that time everyone worked the whole city. Because of this I have a wide familarity with the entire Austin market, lake properties and farm and ranch properties that are located within a one hour driving range surrounding Austin.
I have worked across a large spectrum of subdivisions and locations in Austin. I have a broad knowledge of the history of many subdivisions, who built in the area, soil conditions that affect the integrity of construction, types of construction used in various time periods, and how these factors can affect your contemplated home purchase. I have also assisted clients with helping design, remodel and build homes over the years. I also know and have an understanding of remodeling costs, structural issues and soil conditions that can affect the integrity, value and repair issues that come up when either buying or selling a home. When it comes to experience I hope you will agree that I have a lot of information to share when it comes to making important decisions when buying or selling a home. I think you will find that when it comes to buying a or selling home my experience and knowledge with all aspects of the process of purchasing and selling is rare and invaluable when making important decisions in real estate.

Woods Of Westlake-Austin
Friday, June 12th, 2009 at 12:39pm. 133 Views, 2 Comments.
I recently visited the Woods of Westlake subdivision located in southwest Austin. I remember when these homes were first built in the early 1980's when I first got my real estate license. Located on nice tree shaded lots just to the south of Capitol of Texas Loop 360 I think this subdivision often gets overlooked because of the age of the homes. Consider the fact that the homes are very well priced if you want your kids to attend school in the award winning Eanes School District.
The original sections of the Woods of Westlake features homes priced from around $450,000.00-$600,000.00. For the Westlake Hills area in general, this is very attractive pricing particularly when you consider the close-in location. This subdivision is located a stones throw to…
