Meet Ryan France: Thank you for taking some time to learn a little bit more about me personally and my Austin real estate business.

I grew up in Northwest Austin and attended Westwood High School, not far from where I currently live and work.  My wife, Kristin, and I currently own a home in Cedar Park, just north of the Austin city limits and we love the community.  Its a great area and we couldn’t be happier.

Kristin and I recently welcomed a baby girl, Madeline Marie into our lives.  So, I have recently added Daddy to my resume.  As precious as she is, she can be an absolute handful at times and I wouldn’t have it any other way.  She has given my life a new meaning and purpose.

It’s funny, I often meet new people and when I introduce myself as being a native “Austinite”, quite often I get the response, “really, that’s rare.”  I guess when you think abo ut it, with the influx of new residents from other parts of the country, that might be true.  However, it’s a strong testament to the growth of the city, the local economy and as a result the strong desire of others to relocate and live in Austin.

Upon graduating from Westwood, I was fortunate to receive the opportunity to attend the University of Texas on a baseball scholarship.  My Senior year at UT the team won the National Championship – the crowning achievement of my time as a Horn.

After completing my degree at Texas, I was blessed to be able to follow my lifelong dream of playing professional baseball.  I played for parts of three minor league seasons, first with the Houston Astros and later with the Washington Nationals.

Despite my effort and strong will, my professional baseball career did not follow the exact path that I had envisioned and I decided that the time had come for me to pursue a different avenue.  There are definitely days when I miss the baseball field.  Yet, I still get my competitive fix by coaching baseball teams here locally and giving private pitching lessons, when possible.

I would also look forward to the opportunity to connect with you on the various social networks.  I integrate networking platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Video content into the education and connection experience for my clients and friends.  You can find links to my pages to the right.  Or you can click here to contact me in many different ways.

Better Austin Living (my business): Since my days on the baseball field came to an end, I have been passionately building my residential real estate business in Austin, one happy home buyer and home seller at a time.

I invite you to enjoy some of the stories of the people I have been fortunate enough to help and their experience (in their own words) in working with me as their Austin Realtor.  You can read their stories here.

The primary purpose of my business is: To Simplify the Real Estate Experience.

How do I do that?  Well, I believe it starts with education.  It’s no secret that educated people make better decisions.  Therefore, I seek First to understand.  Second to educate and Third to assist my clients in making good decisions based on their long term goals and objectives.

I continually strive to differentiate myself from the average real estate agent.  I will spend whatever time necessary up front to understand your personal situation and help you establish what is most important to you.

When working together, I believe it is essential for both of us to have clarity about your short and long term intentions so that we can make sure that your decisions and your actions are congruent with your goals and values.

Once we have established that trust in our relationship, I will invest my time consulting,  negotiating and coordinating all of the transactional details on your behalf because I want to make sure that you have a superb experience inside of your individual real estate transaction.

And that of course brings me to the secondary of my business, which is referral.  I know that I must provide the type of value that encourages my clients to feel comfortable and confident introducing me to the people in their life that they care about most.  After all . . .

A genuine referral is when you send someone you care about to someone you trust.

About The Website (Better Austin Living dot Com): When I sat down to put this website together, I asked myself how I could provide the most information and value to you up front with no strings attached.  I understand that today’s home buyer and home seller want to browse around first and get a feel for the lay of the land before making any decisions.  Picture this site and my social network profiles as my store front and online resume.

Please, take your time browsing through the site and various other resources available to you.  Take your time getting to know more about me and how I do business.

Then, when the time comes for you to take the next step; when I can help you develop the best strategy to simplify your real estate experience – lets in get in touch.

Ryan
