As the year winds down and the season of gratitude begins, Christie’s International Real Estate @properties Lone Star is taking a moment to reflect on the values that define its Austin brokerage: community, collaboration and a commitment to giving back.
Relaunching “Christie’s Carpool”
This fall, the brokerage proudly reintroduced one of its most creative initiatives: Christie’s Carpool. Each month, on the second Tuesday, agents pile into a Fetii van and embark on a curated tour of exclusive Christie’s open houses across Austin.
The idea is simple but powerful — bringing agents together to explore listings, share insights, and support one another’s business. Participants have the opportunity to provide valuable feedback to their colleagues while discovering homes they may never have toured otherwise. The initiative has become a symbol of the brokerage’s collaborative spirit and commitment to helping every agent and client succeed through shared knowledge and connection.

A culture of collaboration
That same spirit is evident in the company’s monthly sales meetings, which consistently draw more than 60 agents. The turnout speaks volumes about the culture Christie’s Lone Star has cultivated, one built on unity, professionalism, and mutual support. These gatherings aren’t just about business updates; they’re about connection. Agents use the time to network, learn from one another, and build relationships that ultimately strengthen their service to clients. It’s a living example of the company’s belief that when agents grow together, everyone benefits.
Giving back to the community we love
Community involvement has become a key focus for Christie’s Lone Star. Recently, a group of agents visited Helping Hand Home, where they led a creative activity with the children. The visit underscored the brokerage’s ongoing efforts to support local organizations making a difference in Austin.
The brokerage also joined forces with the Abigail E. Miller Foundation, attending the “Abby Lights Up COTA” event in support of Jean Bruns, a Christie’s agent and founding member of the organization. The experience brought together agents, families, and friends to shine a literal and figurative light on causes that matter deeply to their team.
A family that extends beyond real estate
Christie’s Lone Star doesn’t just bring realtors together; it also brings families together. Earlier this fall, the brokerage hosted a Back-to-School Day with a philanthropic twist, raising funds to provide backpacks and school supplies for children at Helping Hand Home. It was a day filled with fun, generosity, and community spirit, as well as a reflection of the brokerage’s belief that success means little if it isn’t shared.
At its core, Christie’s Lone Star is more than a place where realtors work; it’s a family. From supporting local causes and celebrating each other’s milestones to investing in shared experiences that strengthen both business and bonds, the brokerage continues to lead with heart. This focus on collaboration and community engagement continues to shape the brokerage’s work in Austin.
