About Phil Hutson

Honesty. Knowledge. Integrity. Experience.

Qualities that you don't always get from some REALTORS, but qualities that I "guarantee"! When I enter into a fiduciary relationship (Latin, fiduciaries; n.,"a person who stands in a special relation of trust, confidence, or responsibility in his obligations to others...) with my client (buyer or seller), they know that that special bond of trust will be there! A licensed REALTOR since 1984, a licensed Broker since 1986, and the owner of two RE companies, I research every aspect of the purchase or sale of your home to insure your maximum ROI (return on investment), since this is the most expensive decision most people will make in their lifetime! So whether a "starter" home or a million dollar mansion, give me a call!

I promise:

*...to treat you with the respect of a valued client making a very important decision, not just another sale for a commission.

*...to treat your purchase as if I was my purchase - if I wouldn't "do the deal", I won't let you.

*...to work for you in a Christian manner and attitude - "..the truth and nothing but the truth.."*...to give you my full attention, and guide you to a wise decision based on solid information.

*...to be as competitive in dealing with someone trying to sell you a home as I have been with the baseball teams I've coached for the last 30 years - you see- I don't like to lose! And I promise, you won't....!

Areas/Neighborhoods of Interest

There are so many great communities in and around Austin that a complete description of each one individually would be impossible! If you are not from Austin, the community names will not mean a lot to you, but if you do a property search by price or by code (8E, RR, RN, 10S, LS, etc.), you will recognize several of these. I will be glad to customize a personal property search for you if you will contact me and send me your search parameters/criteria.

North AUSTIN

AREAS: N, NW, 1A, 1N, 2, 2N - Great Hills, Northwest Hills, Cat Mountains, Jester Estates, Balcones.
This is where a lot of the job growth is. The area is newer and more suburban. It is either bordered by or has running through it several major roadways - Hwy. 183, Mopac (Loop 1), Parmer Lane, Hwy. 620, and Interstate 35, making it easily accessible. Several communities have homes with views, and 3 have golf courses.

Northwest AUSTIN

AREAS: RN - Steiner Ranch, Riverplace, Canyon Creek, and Twin Creeks.
These four communities dominate the RN area and are some of the finest and fastest growing in Austin. Golf courses, good schools, hill country and lake views, and some of the best New Home Builders are some of the reasons why.

Central AUSTIN

AREAS: 1B, 4, UT - Tarrytown, Hyde Park, SoCo, Downtown Condos/Lofts, Travis Heights
The oldest and newest - old Austin with 75-100 year old homes, and the latest phenomenon to hit Austin, "downtown living", both selling for between $150/sf - $300/sf. Investors love this area and continue to purchase the smaller homes around the University of Austin campus for rental properties.

South/Southwest AUSTIN

AREAS: S, SW, 10, 6, 7 - Circle C, Travis Country, Western Oaks, Shady Hollow, Onion Creek
More suburban and a little older than most of North Austin, but in most cases not quite as crowded or expensive. Some of the better Austin ISD schools serve this district.

West AUSTIN

AREAS: 8E, 8W, W - Westlake, Barton Creek, Seven Oaks, Senna Hills
Westlake is home to one of the best school districts (Eanes) in the state; predominately more expensive custom homes, especially in the much-acclaimed Barton Creek with it's beautiful country club and prestigious golf course sections. Larger, wooded lots and rolling hills are found in several of these subdivisions.

LAKE TRAVIS

AREAS: LS, LN - Lakeway, Spanish Oaks, Falconhead, Flintrock Falls, Rough Hollow
This area around Lake Travis has become the "place to be" for the lifestyle Austin has come to be known for! Spectacular lake views, incredible hill country scenery, and easy access to boating, the new mall, and downtown Austin only minutes away make this area/home the most sought after in the Austin metro area! Arguably some of the nicest (and most expensive!) custom homes with Tuscan, Mediterranean, and Contemporary designs are the norm.

Metro Cities

AREAS: RR, PF, CL, GT, HU
These "suburb" cities comprise the bulk of the growth in the Austin metro area, and because of this rapid growth, you generally can find a little more square footage, newer homes, and lesser prices here. Round Rock, Plugerville, Cedar Park/Leander, Georgetown, and Hutto are a few of these areas

Testimonials

"Our new home building experience had some pretty rough edges, but with Phil's expertise of new home construction and his help as liaison with the construction manager, the process was made a whole lot smoother and we got a home built the way WE wanted it!"
-L. and C.C./Austin

"I actually prayed about our move to Austin because we felt this was going to be a traumatic experience to uproot our 4 boys. I truly believe Phil was an answer to this prayer as he found us the perfect home, in the perfect neighborhood, for a good price, and the boys LOVE the schools!"
-P. and D.U./Pflugerville

"We have moved 5 times in the last 8 years and have never had as good an experience with a REALTOR as we did with Phil Hutson at Showcase of Homes!"
-C.C/Austin

"Being from back East we knew nothing about Austin and had no idea the type homes being built in Texas. Phil showed us several new home subdivisions and the different type homes of various builders, then not only explained the construction process, but as ours was being built, actually went on site on numerous occasions and did visual inspections with the construction superintendent! We were amazed!
-F. and C.R./Austin

"Phil was our 'selling agent' on one home, and our 'buyer agent' on 2 homes, and just recently sold our son his first home. We would not think of using anyone else in our family's real estate transactions.
-G. and C.D./Pflugerville
