Realty Austin Strengthens No. 1 Position in Downtown Austin with New Addition

AUSTIN, Texas, May 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Realty Austin is proud to announce Fred Meyers, former principal of Austin City Living, joined the brokerage along with five of its team members. The strategic move strengthens the company's increased market share and dominant position in the downtown Austin market.

Jonathan Boatwright, co-owner of Realty Austin said, "We are honored to welcome Fred and his team of professionals to the Realty Austin family. Fred is an accomplished leader and has an exemplary track record in our industry. It only takes a few minutes to sense his desire to serve his clients at the highest level. I am confident Fred has the expertise and the relationship to take our project marketing services to the next level."

An Austinite for thirty years, Meyers spent the last 6 years building Austin City Living. He began his career in 2000 and quickly became a multi-million dollar producer. Fred was recognized as Realtor of the Year in 2006, and has already closed over $100 million in sales.

Fred Meyers said, "Realty Austin has the power, bandwidth and market branding that outshines all the rest. Jonathan and Yvette have fine-tuned their brokerage to run at a level that is not seen anywhere else in the nation. After seeing that entrepreneurial spirit happening here in my own backyard, it was a logical choice for me to combine forces."

Making the move with Meyers to Realty Austin are key players from Austin City Living: Amy Knight; Heather Wood; Reisha Lacey; Tanya Wohleb; and Paige Howell.

Boatwright said, "We are excited about the opportunity because Fred and his team embody our same core beliefs in strong relationships, innovation, charitable initiatives, and exceptional customer service. There are incredible similarities between our two teams which can only aid us in adding cutting edge value to our clients. "

Headquartered downtown, Realty Austin was founded in 2004 and continues to execute its clear roadmap for growth and success. Now with five locations and over 200 agents, Realty Austin continues to gain momentum in Austin.

"With a marquee company like Realty Austin, it assures me when I walk into a room that I already have the credibility of associating with a company that represents tremendous character and integrity. Jonathan is a brilliant businessman who continues to impress. I am thrilled to be in business with Realty Austin and excited about what we will accomplish together," Meyers concluded.
