Realty Austin | Realty San Antonio was formed in 2004 by co-owners Jonathan Boatwright and Yvette Flores with a strong belief that a brokerage should be far more than a place for agents to hang their licenses. The firm quickly became one of the fastest-growing companies in the Central Texas area by focusing on hiring full-time, producing agents, and empowering them with technology and marketing to help them grow their business. These efforts have earned the firm industry recognition as one of the most innovative brokerages in the United States.
The brokerage was the first in Austin to harness the power of the Internet to grow their agent’s business, and in 2006 was one of the first brokerages in the US to leverage Salesforce CRM to make their agents more productive. Realty Austin recently expanded to San Antonio in 2021 and has grown to 60 agents.
Agents are supported in total by 41 staffers in three offices throughout the Austin area and one office in San Antonio and average more sales per agent than any other large firm in Central Texas.
