As a long time real estate professional, Nanette’s goals are to make all aspects of the buying and selling process as informative and easy as possible, have fun along the way, and work hard for the best outcome. Nanette’s entire reason for moving to Austin was the music. “When I was 12, my cool Aunt Libby took my brother and me out to see a bunch of bands all over town. We both swore we would get here as soon as we could.” She now lives in South Austin and is raising two children. She adores the area and all it has to offer in terms of culture, music, art, family, fun, and beauty. Her passions (besides music and houses) are yoga, finding amazing vegan food, her dogs, Toby and Carrot, and supporting her favorite non-profits. A breast cancer survivor since 2010, a portion of all Nanette’s commissions are donated to the Breast Cancer Resource Center of Texas, or to HAAM (The Health Alliance for Austin Musicians).

Even Odd Duck, as grand as it is now, had its moment as a petite food truck serving up delicate pork belly sliders to inquisitive foodies with curious palates. Witnessing the evolution of their South Lamar playground, Khani and Michelle proudly serve as ambassadors of this gorgeous locale–from celebrating with friends and clients alike at Aviary and The Golden Goose, to collaborative meetings set amongst the casual patio of Gibson Street Bar, they truly live to showcase the charming delights of South Lamar’s finest.
