International Real Estate Services in Austin, Texas

Buying, Selling & Relocating Across Borders

Whether you're moving to Austin from another country, relocating overseas, or looking for a trusted real estate professional abroad, I make international real estate transactions easier.

As a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), I help clients navigate the unique challenges of cross-border real estate. From understanding financing and local market conditions to coordinating with professionals around the world, I provide guidance every step of the way.

If you're relocating to Central Texas — or leaving Austin for another country — I can help connect you with trusted professionals to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Why Work With a CIPS Designated Realtor?

The Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation is awarded to real estate professionals with specialized training in international real estate, global transactions, and cross-cultural business practices.

Working with a CIPS Realtor means you'll have someone who understands:

  • International buyers purchasing property in Texas

  • Foreign nationals relocating to the United States

  • U.S. citizens moving overseas

  • Currency and financing considerations

  • Cross-border referrals

  • International investment opportunities

  • Cultural differences throughout the buying and selling process

International transactions often involve additional logistics and communication. Having an experienced guide helps reduce stress and avoid unnecessary surprises.

Strong Connections Throughout Mexico

I speak Spanish and have developed particularly strong relationships throughout Mexico.

Whether you're moving from Mexico to Austin or you're an Austin resident purchasing property in Mexico, I can help coordinate your transaction with trusted local professionals.

My network includes experienced, English-speaking real estate professionals who understand international clients and can help make cross-border moves much easier.

Arabic Language Assistance

While I do not personally speak Arabic, my husband, Nawar, is a native Arabic speaker.

Together, we assist Arabic-speaking clients who are relocating to the Austin area or purchasing real estate in Central Texas. This allows our clients to communicate comfortably throughout the buying or selling process while still receiving expert local real estate representation.

Moving From Austin to Another Country?

If you're relocating overseas, I can also help.

One of the biggest advantages of working with a CIPS professional is access to a worldwide network of trusted real estate professionals.

Rather than searching online and hoping you've found the right agent, I can introduce you to experienced English-speaking agents in many countries who understand international transactions and provide excellent service.

Whether you're moving for work, retirement, investment, or family, I'll help connect you with the right professional.

International Referral Network

Finding the right Realtor in another country can be difficult.

Over the years, I've built relationships with experienced real estate professionals around the world who share the same commitment to professionalism and client service.

If you're looking for an agent outside the United States, I can often connect you with someone who:

  • Speaks English

  • Understands international buyers

  • Has experience with relocation clients

  • Knows their local market

  • Communicates throughout the process

Even if I don't already know an agent in your destination, I can leverage my CIPS network to help locate one.
