We love this business, and can't imagine a better place to live and practice real estate than Austin, Texas!" Although Austin is our true love, we still have family and roots in Louisiana, thus making “Louisiana transplants” great referrals.
Real estate is in my blood. I've been surrounded by successful real estate entrepreneurs since birth. My father, Rocky Del Papa, (whom I'm proud to brag on), is one of the most talented investors in The Woodlands, TX. I started working in one of his RE/MAX offices at 15 as his receptionist, and 16 years later I'm still with RE/MAX. Although I'm very fond of Houston, I fell in love with Austin when I attended the University of Texas over a decade ago. I decided to start fresh in a new market and haven't looked back.
I enjoy being a realtor, investor, wife & mother. I attended the University of Texas at Austin, and Louisiana State University. I speak fluent Italian and have traveled to Italy numerous times. In addition, I volunteer in my church nursery, and Brad in the band.
Brad has worked with me since mid 2005. He also grew up with parents in the real estate business. Although he has a wealth of knowledge and experience of the business, his first love is music. Brad has been a local Austin musician for over a decade. He currently plays bass in a local funk band named Flyjack, www.myspace.com/flyjacktheband,. His jazz quartet, Gnappy (www.gnappyfunk.com), is a local favorite here. The band has played in Austin's annual South by Southwest music festival 5 years in a row. Brad's love for music and people, allied with his real estate experience, play a critical role in the success of our team.
As you may be aware, RE/MAX offices in Austin have outsold our nearest three competitors combined for the past five years, dominating our market. My office, RE/MAX Austin Skyline is one of the most well recognized in Austin and is a state-of-the-art facility. I received RE/MAX's Executive Club award for 2005, the 100% Club Award for 2006, and will receive the Platinum Club award for 2007.
